"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

    Before Neve could finish screaming, another lash struck her.After enduring dozens of lashes, her back was drenched in blood, her flesh torn open.Jacob, unable to bear the gruesome sight any longer, turned away. Sweat beaded on his forehead, his hands trembling despite being clenched into fists. He realized he wouldn't withstand such torture either."Mr. Kennedy, she has passed out."Neve had fainted after just over a dozen lashes.Kennedy glanced at her coldly and ordered, "Wake her up with water."Jacob stole a fearful glance at Kennedy, finding the kind-looking old man terrifying. Today, he finally confirmed the rumors about Kennedy's ruthless methods.Neve jolted awake as a bucket of cold water drenched her head. The searing pain seeped through her back like wildfire, engulfing every inch of her skin and bone, leaving her yearning for death. She wanted to scream, but the pain left her powerless.The whipping continued, a cycle of fainting and waking, like torture from hell

    Kennedy was known to follow through with his actions. If he said he wanted Jacob's life, he wouldn't hesitate.Jacob was terrified beyond belief, nodding frantically and not daring to entertain any other thoughts.Kennedy glared at him coldly before instructing Brianna to escort Leah back to her room. Afterward, he dismissed Brianna and had a private conversation with Leah."Do you have nothing to say to me after I flaunted authority in your house?" Logically, as an outsider, Kennedy shouldn't interfere in Severin's matters. However, Leah's injury had provoked his anger, compelling him to intervene and not stand by while she was being bullied.Leah shook her head, smiling bitterly. "You've scolded and punished them. Am I supposed to kick up a fuss and drive you away?"Kennedy sighed, speaking seriously. "You're not someone without means. Yet you've let a descendant bully you. There must be more to this than meets the eye."Astute as Kennedy was, he instantly grasped the crux of t

    Jade had already moved out by the time Jacob returned to the country. She had been staying either with Leah or with Caelan, both heavily guarded. How could Jacob find an opportunity?Leah's mind suddenly cleared. She nodded. "But the person in the video does look like you, Jade."Such childish tricks naturally couldn't deceive Jade. She looked at Caelan, who walked over and handed her a USB drive.Jade brandished it and told the two elders, "I've already watched the video. Although the woman in it looks like me, Jacob missed one detail. There's a red mole on my collarbone, which the person in the video doesn't have, and the shape of her ear is different too."Leah closed her eyes, filled with regret. How could she have missed such small details? She had been deceived by Jacob's lowly tactics for so long."Jade, it's all my fault…" Leah choked with tears. If she hadn't fallen for Jacob's trick, she wouldn't have let Jade suffer so much.Jade hugged Leah's arm, her eyes red. "I kno

    Chenelle's words made Jade clench her fists in anger. For someone so heartless, she really wanted to wake her up with a good beating.Taking a step forward, Jade grabbed Chenelle by the collar.Chenelle screamed, thinking Jade was about to hit her, and retreated in fear. "What are you doing? Do you want to hit me again?!"'So, she can also feel fear.'Jade sneered coldly, rolling up her sleeves to show the scars on her arm. "While you complain about the world's injustices, open your eyes wide and see that not everyone is as fortunate as you."I was also adopted, but compared to you, our lives are worlds apart. While you resent not getting enough attention, others are struggling to find their next meal. When you let jealousy drive you to harm others, some people are just praying to survive."Chenelle, you truly don't appreciate the blessings you have."Jade's fair arm was covered in scars of various sizes—burns, cuts, and a long stitched wound that looked like a centipede. Althou

    Chenelle forcefully shook off Jade's hand, her eyes filled with venom as she spat, "You bitch! Stop pretending to be so righteous. I despise people like you the most. Do you think the Fitzgeralds adopted me out of kindness? No, it's because they felt guilty."Her face twisted with intense hatred, her gaze sweeping across everyone in the hall with a sharp, accusatory edge.When her eyes landed on Kennedy, her resentment peaked. "Ever since I stepped into the Fitzgerald household, you've treated me with hostility, never once showing me a kind face."My efforts to make you happy were like a dog desperately seeking attention. When you were in a good mood, you were somewhat kind to me, but when you weren't, you completely ignored me. "Do you think bringing me into the Fitzgeralds would make me grateful? No, it won't. I hate you. I hate every single one of you! You took away my only family and snuffed out the last bit of warmth I had."If it weren't for my father trying to protect Cael

    After changing her clothes, Jade applied light makeup while standing in front of the mirror. As she gazed at her rosy reflection, fragments of the previous night's events flickered in her mind. Her cheeks flushed, and she covered her face with her hands, fanning herself nervously. 'What to do, what to do? How should I face Caelan later?'After much hesitation, Jade decided to face him. After all, they had already crossed all boundaries. Avoiding him now would be unnecessarily dramatic. Moreover, they would be living together in the future. It wasn't practical to keep avoiding him.With this thought, Jade felt significantly more at ease. As she approached the door, she heard Caelan's voice from the living room. "Hold her there. I'm coming right over." Puzzled, Jade opened the door and looked at Caelan.He ended his call and said, "We've found the person who drugged you. I'm heading over now.""Who is it?" Jade asked angrily.Caelan gave her a deep, serious look before replying,

    'And then…' Thinking about it further, Jade couldn’t bear to continue. 'Could it be that I spent the night with Orion?!'"Morning..." The familiar deep voice sent a shiver through Jade, followed by a surge of joy enveloping her entire being. That voice, she would recognize it even in death.It was Caelan. This was Caelan's voice!Jade remained motionless, her body stiff. The swing from immense sorrow to immense joy was too overwhelming—she needed a moment to process it all."Why aren't you saying anything?" Caelan noticed Jade's odd behavior and propped himself up to look at her face, only to find her silently shedding tears.His heart clenched, and his first instinct was to apologize. "I'm sorry, last night I had no choice. Your situation was too dangerous—"Before he could finish, Jade threw herself into his arms.Caelan was at a loss, his body rigid, afraid to move a muscle.Tears dripped onto his chest, scorching his skin and softening his heart."Are you still in pain?" h

    Jade felt as if her head was about to explode, her body burning, with her organs seemingly on the verge of combustion."Jade, Jade, wake up." Caelan gently patted Jade's cheek. The moment he touched her skin, he was startled by how scalding hot she felt.Jade's eyes fluttered open in a daze, her vision blurred, unable to discern the face looming close to hers. She grasped the cool hand on her face, pressing it tightly against her skin."So cool… So cool…" Jade murmured unconsciously, her body instinctively leaning closer. She wrapped her arms around the man's neck, rubbing against him desperately. "Help me… I feel so uncomfortable, so hot."Seeing her in such a state, Caelan felt an indescribable pain in his heart. His fists clenched tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands as he commanded Samuel, "Find out who did this."Samuel nodded. "The doctor is on his way, but we need to lower Miss Severin's temperature immediately."Caelan's eyes darkened momentarily. He bent down,

    Orion's face had turned a shade of red that was far from normal, yet he struggled to stay conscious, shaking his head with a bitter smile."I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be outsmarted."Jade's heart tightened in response. She had reserved a VIP suite in the hotel, with only two rooms on the entire floor. To ensure privacy, she had explicitly instructed that no one was to come upstairs. Now, Orion had been drugged, and she…A sudden spell of dizziness caused Jade's legs to give way. She clung to the door frame to avoid collapsing. To her horror, she realized she had been drugged too. 'Damn it! How could I have let my guard down?!'"I'll call for help. Don't move."Overwhelmed by the heat coursing through her body, Jade was on the brink of losing her sanity. In a bid to stay conscious, she dug her nails into her palm. The pain brought a moment of clarity, but it was fleeting. The heat surged back, stronger and more relentless than before. Fear crept up from Jade's feet

    Jade arrived at the hotel and easily found the floor, unlocking Room 2020. As soon as she stepped inside, she was taken aback—red roses filled the entire room, and candles burned softly in the corners, creating a romantic and cozy atmosphere.This was the result of Melanie and Tiffany’s hard work all afternoon.As Jade walked on the soft carpet, Jade's heart danced with excitement. Today, she would give herself to Caelan—she was finally going to be his woman. She had been waiting for this day for so long.Her phone buzzed with a text message. Jade opened it and saw it was from Tiffany.Tiffany: [There's a gift for you on the bed. You're welcome.]'A gift? What kind of prank is this girl up to now?'Following Tiffany’s instructions, Jade found the gift on the bed. She opened it and gasped. A few black straps connected to bits of sheer fabric!'Lingerie?' Jade’s face turned crimson, and she quickly shoved the outfit back into the box. If she wore this to see Caelan, she’d rather

    Caelan: [Alright, go ahead and get busy.]Jade felt a slight chill in her heart as she read the message from Caelan. Shouldn't he have asked where she was going? Why did he just reply with that?There was something off about Caelan's mood, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.Seeing Jade lost in thought, Melanie waved her hand in front of her friend's eyes. "Hey, snap out of it. Did Caelan say when he's coming?"Jade, feeling a bit down, replied, "I haven't figured out how to tell him yet.""What's there to figure out? My goodness." Melanie grabbed Jade's phone and quickly typed a message to Caelan.Jade: [I'll be waiting for you at 5:00 p.m. in Room 2020 of Serendipitus. We need to talk.]With a flourish, she sent the message and tossed the phone back to Jade.Jade's eyes widened in shock. "Melanie, can we really do this?""Why not? Trust me, right now Caelan is probably as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof, wondering if you're going to break up with him."Tiffany c

    The car sped toward Jade's villa, coming to a stop.Caelan immediately took out his phone and called Jade. Just like before, there was no answer. While staring at the tightly shut door, Caelan's heart clenched. 'Could it be true, as Chenelle said, that Jade has fallen for Orion?'..."Hey, can't you two stop this?" Jade sighed in exasperation.She had been perfectly content at home when Tiffany and Melanie had barged in and dragged her out.To make matters worse, they had taken her phone. Their excuse was to make Caelan worry and see if he would dare to disappear again. Most importantly, they wanted to surprise him."Just relax and stay here. Tiffany and I will handle everything else," Melanie said, pressing Jade into a chair and thrusting a makeup brush into her hand. "You just focus on looking beautiful and don't worry about a thing, okay?"Jade couldn't help but laugh. "Can you two stop being so overbearing? I'm the main character here. Can't you show me some respect?"The
