The Supreme Heiress Chapter 234
"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
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 237
Selene found herself in an awkward situation, dryly smiling while harboring resentment toward Jade.Jade hadn't even officially joined the family, yet she was already acting like the mistress of the house. If Jade were to marry into the family, Selene would have to tiptoe around her.Selene nudged Bella with her elbow, prompting Bella to apologize to Caelan, "Caelan, I know I messed up. I apologize."She raised her glass toward Caelan as if to make a toast, but he stopped her. "If you want to toast for apology, you should toast to Jade. You were indeed in the wrong."Caelan's coldness was well-known—he didn't even show mercy to his own cousin.Bella was taken aback. She had already lowered her pride to apologize to Caelan, yet he didn't appreciate it and even demanded her to apologize to Jade. Wasn't he deliberately humiliating her?And if she didn't apologize to Jade, Caelan would definitely withdraw his investment. The thought of the largest shareholder pulling out at the start

"Although the engagement was to help the Severins out of a tough spot, I don't think I'm climbing up by marrying Caelan. His standing might be higher than mine at the moment, but who's to say I won't surpass him later on?" Jade's tone was casual, but her smile was confident. She effortlessly silenced Selene."What a bold statement. You really are quite arrogant," Selene retorted. She hadn't expected the meek-looking Jade to have such a strong attitude."Do you know the Fitzgeralds' status in Centus? Do you know how extensive the Fitzgerald business empire is? Forget that you're still a student, even someone like me wouldn't dare make such grand claims now. Are you suffering from delusions?" Selene was seething with anger.If it weren't for Kennedy, she would have probably kicked Jade out long ago.Caelan sat beside Jade. There was a hint of warmth on his otherwise cold face. Although Jade's words were impolite, he didn't find them disagreeable. On the contrary, he found Jade to be
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 239
As Kennedy and Selene argued, Caelan, who had remained silent until then, finally spoke up. "Let's get married."His words hung in the air, instantly quieting the room.Kennedy looked delighted, while Selene appeared shocked. She had come to ruin their engagement but unexpectedly triggered Caelan's desire to get married."Caelan, do you even know what you're saying?" Caelan's serious expression astonished Selene. She had been under the impression he was just fooling around, but he was serious.Caelan held Jade's hand tightly and raised an eyebrow. "Once we're married, all the problems will be resolved, won't they?"Surrounded by numerous suitors, all seeking to advance their social standing through his wealth and status, Jade stood out. Unlike the others, she aimed for success without relying on him for anything.Before meeting Jade, marriage was not something Caelan had given much thought to. He believed he could accept any woman. But after meeting Jade, he felt she met all his

As long as the engagement remained, Caelan would never be able to see his own heart clearly.Caelan remained quite calm, never taking a stance.Since he neither agreed nor disagreed, Jade took it as his agreement. "Consider it, and let me know when you've made up your mind."With that said, she nodded at Kennedy and left his mansion.Selene didn't expect this outcome. Although it was what she wanted, she couldn't feel happy about it. "What a mess. She actually suggested calling off the engagement. Did she even consider her own worth?"In her eyes, Jade was like dirt on the ground, barely worthy of the Fitzgeralds. Yet, Jade proposed to call off the engagement, which felt like an insult.Kennedy frowned, feeling a headache. "Enough!"A perfectly good meal was ruined, and seeing Caelan's unfazed demeanor only made Kennedy more irritated. "What are you still standing there for? Go after her."Caelan nodded and left in long strides.Jade stood outside, her petite frame seeming lik

Leah was well aware of Jade's temperament. Once she made up her mind about something, she wouldn't change it. This stubbornness of hers was what exasperated Leah."Oh, you…" Leah sighed deeply, looking at Jade with a mix of heartache and helplessness. "Do you really have no feelings for Caelan at all?"Jade's smile was also helpless. "Grandma, I want someone who truly loves me. Even though Caelan is outstanding, his heart isn't with me."Leah finally understood. Jade had her pride—she didn't want a man who didn't love her wholeheartedly."Since you've made up your mind, I won't say more. The engagement was somewhat abrupt in the first place. How can a marriage bound by interests be happy?"Leah's words brought tears to Jade's eyes, and she threw herself into Leah's arms. "I knew you'd understand me, Grandma."Leah affectionately patted her head and said with a smile, "Go ahead. Do whatever makes you happy."Jade nodded and left Leah's embrace. "I'll come to see you again in a fe

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
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 771
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
