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

Jade's words plunged Laura into deep thought. When Neve told her it was Jade who had framed her, Laura had been irrational and believed her.Upon reflection now, it was full of loopholes. Jade's dorm was far from hers, so how could Jade sneakily slip the exam papers under her bed?"If it wasn't you, then who could it be?" Laura asked uncertainly.Melanie couldn't stand it anymore and said, "It's such a simple question. Do you even need to think? It's obviously the person closest to you.""No, it can't be!" Laura denied hastily. "Neve wouldn't frame me. She's always been so good to me, helping me with everything. When everyone else looked down on me, she was the only one who genuinely cared about me."Jade felt a pang of pity for Laura and analyzed it for her. "How exactly was she good to you? By making you fetch water and buy food for her? By occasionally buying you snacks to butter you up to win you over?"Think about it. Every time she pretended to be weak, it was to make you t

Aware of Neve's temper, Rania silently set off to purchase what she desired."Excuse me, is Neve around?" Just as Rania turned to leave, she collided with an androgynously dressed girl.After scrutinizing the newcomer for a moment, Rania cautiously asked, "May I ask who you are?""I'm Neve's good friend. I need to see her about something." Laura tried to appear calm and confident. She knew that the more nervous she seemed, the more suspicious Rania would become.As expected, Rania believed her. "Ms. Severin is taking a break. I'll take you to see her."Neve was sitting on a chair resting when Rania returned. Immediately, her expression darkened. "Where's the water I asked for?""Neve, long time no see."Laura's sudden appearance caught Neve off guard.Neve looked at Laura fixedly, forcing a strained smile. "What brings you here?"Neve's indifference hurt Laura deeply, but she held back for the sake of confirming her suspicions. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see me?""Why

You've got issues." Neve no longer had the patience to deal with Laura, so she instructed Rania, "What are you waiting for? Get her out of here."Rania was utterly stunned. She hadn't expected Neve to be someone like that.Regaining her senses, she told Laura, "Please leave. Ms. Severin needs to work."Laura nodded and calmly left the studio.Watching her departure, Neve seethed with anger. She was already struggling with the shoot, and she now felt threatened by Laura."She thinks she can waltz into the entertainment industry just because she wants to? Hah, absurd."Neve thought that Laura lacked both looks and background. To her, Laura's aspiration to enter the entertainment industry was simply unreachable.Despite that, she felt a trace of fear upon recalling Laura's gaze. It resembled someone else's too much.'Who could it be?'Neve pondered for a while, then suddenly widened her eyes.She realized Laura's gaze was too similar to Jade's—equally cold, devoid of any emotion

Jade and Melanie had stumbled upon a red maxi dress during their recent shopping spree. Melanie had insisted Jade buy it, claiming it was made for her. To placate Melanie, Jade purchased it, but then stashed it away in her closet, never to be worn again.Now that Melanie insisted Jade wear it, the latter refused adamantly, "No way, it's too flashy. I can't pull it off."Melanie narrowed her eyes as she snatched Jade's purse, threatening, "If you don't change, I won't give this back to you."Inside the bag were Jade's phone and keys, and Melanie intentionally used them as leverage against her.Downstairs, Caelan was still waiting. Jade didn't want to risk angering him by making him lose his patience from waiting."Alright, alright, I'll change," Jade conceded, reluctantly heading back to her room to put on the dress.When she emerged again, Melanie exclaimed, "Wow! I told you it would look great! You have fair skin and a good figure, and this dress really complements your vibe."

"That's her, alright. I never expected she'd look so stunning when she put in the effort.""She's shining brighter than any celebrity. Goodness, she's gorgeous!"Jade heard praises from the students, adding to her stress. If she had known, she wouldn't have listened to Melanie.Just then, Caelan suddenly stopped in his tracks.Confused, Jade looked at him, only to see him take off his suit jacket and drape it over her shoulders."Be careful not to catch a cold," he said.His jaw clenched, eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his gaze on Jade held a complexity that spoke volumes. It seemed as though a thousand words were at the tip of his tongue, ready to spill forth.Puzzled, Jade glanced at the sky. It was sunny, with no breeze stirring the air. As she began to remove her jacket, she caught a fleeting coldness in Caelan's gaze, and understanding dawned upon her suddenly.'Could he be... jealous?'Samuel was sweating profusely. He was really afraid Jade might return the jacket, but

"With Grandpa around, she won't dare cause trouble," Caelan explained, noticing Jade's doubts.Despite what he said, Jade still felt uneasy.In her previous life, Bella had caused Jade a lot of trouble. Whenever Caelan showed interest in Jade, Bella would block his advances in every way possible. Bella had devised numerous schemes to make Caelan lose interest in Jade.Jade worried this dinner might escalate into another power struggle. She sat in her seat, feeling somewhat weary and devoid of the previous excitement.Noticing Jade's lack of enthusiasm, Caelan felt a pang of concern. He took out his phone and sent a message to Bella.Caelan: [Grandpa isn't feeling well. Try not to upset him.]Bella: [What nonsense are you talking about? I'm coming to check on Grandpa. Why would I cause trouble?]Caelan: [That'd be the best.]…Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Kennedy's place.As Caelan got out of the car, Jade followed closely behind.Albert approached them res

Selene mocked Jade directly even in front of Kennedy. Her disdain for Jade was evident in both her words and demeanor.Seeing her becoming more unreasonable, Kennedy cleared his throat. "Selene, Jade is engaged to Caelan. She will be Mrs. Fitzgerald sooner or later. There's nothing wrong with her calling you Aunt Selene."Selene forced a smile, but her eyes didn't reflect the warmth. "Dad, I was just making a few remarks. Why are you lecturing me in front of a guest?"Kennedy gave her a stern look and snorted but didn't say anything more, saving her pride.In the past, Jade would have felt utterly embarrassed. A rebirth later, though, she had seen through many things.Even if Selene embarrassed or scolded her to her face, she wouldn't take it to heart because she knew that Caelan was the most important person to her."Let's all sit," Kennedy declared.Jade and Caelan sat together on the sofa.Jade smiled, unaffected by Selene's attitude. "Grandpa, it's been a while since we las
