The Supreme Heiress Chapter 188
Lloyd also saw Leah's unusual demeanor but didn't notice Neve's expression. He stepped forward to greet Leah."Good day, Madam," he said respectfully and calmly, showing no flaws in either manners or language.Leah glanced at him, noting his suave appearance and the discerning gleam in his eyes framed by gold-rimmed glasses. She had encountered countless people, giving her the ability to discern whether someone was cunning or kind with just a single glance.Lloyd had a very scheming mind."Have a seat." Leah smiled and gestured.Neve smiled again, seeing that Leah hadn't embarrassed her, and sat down with Lloyd.Leah casually asked Lloyd some questions about his studies and major—just simple small talk.Lloyd politely answered each one, but Neve couldn't find a way to join the conversation. Sitting there doing nothing was too awkward, so she took the initiative to sit next to Leah. She wanted to leave Lloyd with the impression that Leah doted on her.Unfortunately, Leah was alr

Lloyd stood up and told Leah politely, "Since you put it that way, I understand. I have some other matters to attend to today, so I won't stay any longer. I'll come to visit you another day."Lloyd's smile faded as he walked out.Seeing him leave in anger, Neve glared at Leah and hurriedly followed him out."Lloyd, Lloyd, wait for me." Neve hastily grabbed Lloyd's arm, fearing that his anger would affect her. She looked tenderly at him like she had been wronged.Lloyd stopped in his tracks to look at her seriously. He said softly, "Madam Leah probably has some prejudice against me. Otherwise, she wouldn't refuse such a small favor.""How is that possible?" Neve got anxious, speaking quickly. "She definitely doesn't have any prejudice against you. It's just… It's just...""It's just that the Fitzgeralds and Jade have an engagement. Your grandmother doesn't want Jade to suffer in the Fitzgeralds, so she refused to help, right?" Lloyd finished Neve's sentence for her.Neve bit her
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 190
"Ah, Madam!" Brianna screamed and hurried to check on Leah.Leah had hit her forehead on the corner of the table, and blood had seeped out of the wound."Someone! Get a doctor!" Brianna shouted in panic, her face drained of color as she called for help.Neve was equally stunned. She had intended to assert her dominance over Leah, to quell her opposition, but causing harm wasn't part of the plan. She stood rooted to the spot, fear driving her to back away. "I-I didn't do it, she fell on her own."The house descended into chaos, with everyone losing their composure.Just then, a clear female voice came from the courtyard. "Move aside, all of you!"Someone rushed in, pushing through the crowd to reach Leah. When she saw the wound on Leah's forehead, she immediately turned her sharp gaze toward Neve."Neve, how dare you lay hands on Grandma?!" It was none other than Jade, the apple of Leah's eye.Seeing Leah injured on the floor, Jade felt as if her heart had been torn apart. Leah

"Jade, mind your words. Grandma is my own grandmother. As her grandson, I should be filial to her. How could I possibly harm her?" Jacob threatened.Neve broke free from the bodyguards and ran up to Jacob, boasting at Jade, "You ingrate, get out of here. This is the Severins, not your playground."Facing their taunts, Jade remained unmoved. She looked stubbornly at Leah and said in pain, "Grandma, come with me."Leah longingly glanced at Jade, her gaze agonized. She moved her lips slightly and reached out as if to hold Jade's hand, but Jacob's warning glare stopped her.As if scalded by hot water, she withdrew her hand and weakly shook her head. "Leave, Jade."Her voice was soft and resigned, and Jade couldn't help but understand her hidden pain.Jade pointed at Jacob, asking, "Grandma, did he tell you something?"Leah shook her head, but her tone was firmer this time. "No, Jade. You're just not a real Severin. We raised you without expecting anything in return. From today onwar

Jade collapsed backward immediately after speaking.Caelan swiftly dropped the umbrella he held, caught her falling body, and removed his suit jacket to cover her. He then lifted her and promptly entered the car.…Caelan sat by the bedside in the hospital room, looking at Jade's pale, lifeless face. Her words echoed in his mind, "I have no family anymore," accompanied by her desperate, hollow stare.He couldn't understand why such a strong person would be so shattered by a few words. Was family really that important to Jade?"Sir, Madam's fever has gone down. Why don't you go and rest for a while?" Samuel asked Caelan softly.Caelan pulled himself out of his thoughts, his brows furrowed. "Find out what Jacob used to threaten Madam Leah."Whatever made Leah declare that she was cutting ties with Jade must have been a compelling reason.Samuel nodded. "Okay. I'll go check right away."Soon, Samuel returned, looking somewhat troubled as he whispered to Caelan, "It seems that Jac

Caelan raised the bed so Jade could recline comfortably, then passed her a glass of water.The mention of the Severins brought tears to Jade's eyes once more. Big drops streamed down her cheeks, mingling with the water and lending it a bitter, salty taste. She drank the water quickly, swallowing hard to conceal her vulnerability from Caelan. With each gulp, she fought to suppress her tears.Setting the empty glass on the table, she wiped away her tears and nonchalantly said, "Is that so?""If you feel like crying, just let it out. Holding it in won't do you any good," Caelan said. He wasn't sure how to comfort her, but he sensed she needed to release her emotions.Jade shrugged. "I'm fine, really.""If you're really fine, then why were you out in the rain?" Caelan countered, each word sharp and probing.Jade nervously fidgeted with the bedsheets, trying to find an excuse for herself. "I-I just forgot my umbrella.""If that's the case, why did you stay out in the rain for so long

Kennedy didn't want to leave but felt it was necessary to make a sacrifice for his grandson's happiness. He nodded and said seriously, "Hmm, we should step aside. This is just too much."Although he said this aloud, he was inwardly overjoyed. At the rate things were progressing between them, he could soon have a great-grandchild.…Samuel took Kennedy to the VIP lounge, where he briefed him on what had happened.Kennedy listened, bristling with anger. He slammed his cane on the floor as he exclaimed, "Leah's wrong! She's the only one Jade has in this world, yet she says such heartless words. Isn't she just extinguishing the child's hope?"Samuel stood by with his head lowered, not daring to speak, only nodding occasionally in agreement."No! I'm going to Leah to demand an explanation. Why is she bullying my granddaughter-in-law like this?" Kennedy was hot-tempered, ready to go at a moment's notice.Samuel hurriedly stopped him. "Sir, the Severins aren't under Madam Leah's contro

Jacob dared not plead for Neve, nor did he even have the courage to look at her, standing silently with his head bowed."Shut up and apologize to Mr. Fitzgerald right now!" he barkedNeve was dumbfounded, never expecting Jacob to abandon her. Meanwhile, Kennedy's bodyguards had already pinned her firmly to a bench.One of the guards stood to the side holding a whip, as if ready to administer punishment."What are you doing? What do you want?!" Neve was genuinely frightened now, shouting and struggling to free herself. But she was held tightly and could only await her fate.Kennedy glared at her before entering Leah's room.Brianna was both excited and awestruck to see Kennedy. "Mr. Fitzgerald, you're here."Kennedy's arrival seemed to bring a glimmer of hope to the situation.Brianna helped Leah up, settling her by the bedside."Kennedy, how did this even reach you?" Leah felt ashamed. This was a family matter, and airing dirty laundry in public was shameful. Leah still cared
