Neve felt the pressure and asked Noah for two minutes to adjust her mindset. Noah agreed.

Jade left the set with a relaxed stride. She noticed Samuel whispering a few words to Noah, who seemed troubled as he glanced at Bella. Bella was clearly upset, but under Caelan's pressure, she had to yield. She looked at Neve with a pained expression but remained silent.

After Caelan finished giving instructions, he got up and left. Jade looked in the direction he had left, feeling puzzled. What game were Caelan and Bella playing?

When Neve returned to the set, she had adjusted her state of mind, and her presence and expression were on point. However, before she could say her lines, Noah took her aside.

"Your part has been modified slightly." Noah's voice was not loud, and Jade only heard that much. She couldn't make out the rest of their conversation. She only saw Neve getting emotional and arguing fiercely with Noah.

Perhaps tired of her pestering, Noah snapped. "If you can accept it, act.

    After several takes, Jade finally realized what was going on.Noah was clearly intentionally making things difficult for Neve. It seemed like Caelan was putting pressure on him.Bella couldn't stand it anymore and angrily said, "That's enough."Just as she was about to speak again, Samuel reminded her from the back, "Ms. Riley, Mr. Fitzgerald said just now that if the scene doesn't meet his requirements, it won't pass.""His requirements?" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Bella's eyes. "He's set on opposing me, isn't he?""Mr. Fitzgerald said this is not personal. The Fitzgerald Group is the largest investor of this production, so the quality standards must be impeccable. Ms. Riley, if you don't want Neve to be replaced, it'd be best to pretend you didn't see anything." Samuel used a mix of persuasion and threats, leaving Bella angry and resentful but unable to do anything about it.After all, it had already been implied by Samuel's words that Caelan knew Bella was intentionally

    Neve's brimming grievances erupted at Bella's words.She started crying uncontrollably, gasping for breath while pitifully telling Bella, "Bella, you saw it too. I'm no match for Jade at all. With the Fitzgeralds backing her, no matter how much I fight, I can't beat her."The earlier incident had become a thorn in Bella's heart as well.She had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, yet no one had ever openly challenged her like this before.In order to protect Jade, Caelan had actually embarrassed her in front of everyone. This was something that had never happened before.Bella blamed Jade for everything."Don't worry, I won't let this matter go just like that." Bella's gaze flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. She had to teach Jade a lesson.Neve wiped her eyes and cautiously asked, "Bella, what are you going to do?"Bella hadn't thought about the specifics yet, but there would be opportunities in the future. For now, she needed to reassure Neve. "Don't worry

    "Thank you," Jade told Caelan as she ate.Caelan's expression stiffened, and a hint of disdain appeared on his face. "You're the future Mrs. Fitzgerald. If any negative news about you spreads, it will also affect the Fitzgerald Group."Although his words were unpleasant to hear, Jade knew that this was his unique way of caring for people.After finishing the cake, she patted her stomach contentedly. "I'm full.""Mm, I still have some things to attend to, so I'll go back," Caelan said nonchalantly before he stood up. He walked ahead and asked disapprovingly when he saw that Jade wasn't following, "Aren't you going to see me off?""Huh?" Jade snapped back to reality. Caelan always came and went like the wind, so why was he making such a request this time?Since he had mentioned it, she'd do it. After all, he had done her a huge favor.She hurried over to follow Caelan, feeling inexplicably joyful as she looked at his broad shoulders. It felt so good to be protected."Come back to

    "Wow, he's such a smooth talker! If I had a boyfriend like that, I'd be over the moon!" Melanie exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands, unable to contain her excitement.Jade couldn't help but blush. She shut off the phone screen shyly. "Oh, come on, why are you more excited than me?"Ignoring Jade's embarrassment, Melanie activated fantasy mode. "Spill! Have you made him lemon water before? Why else would he keep thinking about it? Seriously, when did you two secretly get together? I have some punishments in mind if you don’t tell me!"Melanie wriggled her fingers as she closed in on Jade with an evil smirk, looking like she wouldn't let Jade go without an answer.Jade could only tell her honestly, "Really, it’s nothing. We stay close by, so I sometimes make snacks and take them over to him with a glass of lemon water."Jade sounded nonchalant, but Melanie looked astonished. "Gosh, you are two single people who have spent so long together, yet you haven't even held hands? I

    Cooper struggled to break free before turning to Jade for help. "Aren't you going to be a good bro? Since when do you just stand by and watch?""You sneaked out, so you should know what consequences to expect." Jade waved him off, nonchalantly adding, "I'll rescue you after I'm done seeing Tiffany."The bodyguards shoved Cooper into the car.Meanwhile, Melanie was shocked by the Hendersons' imposing presence. "Seriously? Even Cooper has his days?""He is the Hendersons' sole heir. How could they not prioritize him?"Jade bought some fruits, along with a bouquet, and headed straight to the hospital with Melanie.-After they inquired about Tiffany's room, they were stopped by the bodyguards at the door. "Sorry, visitors are not allowed at the moment."Jade introduced herself, thinking that they didn't know who she was, "I'm Jade Severin from Clothheap University, Tiffany's classmate. Please inform her."To her surprise, the bodyguard glanced at her indifferently and remained un

    The fact that Tiffany defended her deeply moved Jade.Tiffany wouldn't listen to Merida, so they reached a stalemate until Merida finally relented. "Fine, you can chat for only half an hour. After that, she must leave.""Thanks, Mom," Tiffany obediently replied.Merida left the ward with a snort.Once the door closed, Tiffany reclined on the bed and motioned for Jade and Melanie to take a seat.The ward exuded luxury, boasting ample space and bright lighting, complete with its own kitchen and bathroom.Melanie marveled at the opulence. "Wealthy folks sure have a different way of living."Tiffany smiled, then shifted her gaze to Jade. "Are all our classmates alright?""They've all returned safely," Jade replied with a smile.Seeing apples in the fruit basket, she picked one up, peeled it, cut it into slices, and offered it to Tiffany.Tiffany accepted it after a moment of hesitation.As she and Jade exchanged smiles, it seemed like something was gradually melting between them

    That was why Tiffany smiled happily when she received Jade's approval and heard her say they were friends.-Outside the hospital, Jade looked grim.Melanie looked at her, concerned, and asked, "Jade, what's wrong?""I need you to help me with something, Melanie," Jade whispered to Melanie, who widened her eyes instantly."Are you sure you want to do this?"Jade nodded. "I can't let Tiffany get hurt for nothing. And the accident earlier, too—I suspect it was all Laura's doing."Melanie hadn't imagined Laura would do something so insane. To uncover the truth, she decided to assist Jade. She sent a text message to Laura, mimicking Cooper's tone.Melanie: [Let's chat.]Soon, Laura replied.Laura: [Who are you?]Melanie: [Cooper.]The concise reply sounded domineering, and Laura didn't doubt it at all as she quickly responded.Laura: [Cooper, you've finally stopped ignoring me.]Melanie: [Cut the crap. Zentral Park. If I don't see you by three, forget about seeing me again.]

    Laura stepped back, her gaze avoidant as she looked at Jade. "Are you crazy? Get out of my way, I'm leaving."She took two steps forward, but Melanie pushed her back. "Laura Jourdain, you think you can just run away after committing a crime? It's not that easy."Laura almost fell to the ground from the push and became flustered. "What are you doing? Are you planning to hit me?""Do you know that what you did broke Tiffany's leg and almost endangered the whole class? That's over 30 lives, Laura! Doesn't your conscience ache? Could you sleep peacefully if something really happened?" Jade pressed, advancing step by step, while Laura retreated until her back hit a rock."I-I didn't! I really didn't!" At this point, Laura was still trying to argue.Seeing Laura's reluctance to admit her fault, Jade signaled to Melanie.Melanie took out her phone and dialed a number. An elderly person's voice came from the other end. "Hello, who is this?""Hello, I'm from the car rental company. Laura

    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
