Jade's heart sank. How could Jacob not have taken precautions when he had made up his mind to have her? She closed her eyes, no longer struggling, as if she was resigned to her fate.Seeing this, Jacob was delighted, and his movements became slightly gentler. "My dear sister, it's good that you've come to terms with it."Suddenly, Jade raised her leg and kicked his groin. Caught off guard, Jacob howled in pain, sounding like a pig being slaughtered.Jade quickly rolled off the bed and stood on the floor, watching Jacob writhe in agony on the bed, her gaze filled with menace.The trauma he had caused her in her previous life had never disappeared. Unprecedented rage and humiliation surged through Jade.She clenched her fists tightly, her gaze falling on the flower vase on the coffee table, her resolve growing stronger."Jacob, you're nothing but scum." Jade raised the vase high, aiming it at Jacob's groin.She wanted to ensure he would never be a man again.Jacob seemed to rea
Neve’s heart had been lurching all night. This was the most crucial night for their success or failure. If they succeeded, that bitch Jade would live in torment forever.All her fame as Miss Clotheap, the legend she was in the medical field, and her reputation as the century's most capable woman would become a joke. Neve wanted everyone to know that Jade had been assaulted by her own brother.Just the thought of Jade being drowned in gossip made Neve so delighted that she was unable to sleep.She got up and poured herself a glass of red wine. The burning liquid slid down her throat, making her feel a bit lightheaded."Jade, you must be enjoying yourself now, huh?" Neve laughed recklessly, unable to stop. Anything that made Jade suffer made Neve ecstatic.Just then, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Jacob calling, she quickly answered, "Hey, what's up?""It's not looking good. Hurry on over. Jade is dead," said Jacob's anxious voice through the phone.Neve's heart sank as she as
Neve screamed in fright, covering her eyes and refusing to look inside the room, afraid to see Jade's body."Keep screaming and I'll choke you to death." Owen deliberately threatened her in a rough voice. Neve trembled in fear, shutting her mouth tightly but still keeping her eyes closed."Who are you people?" Neve asked in a trembling voice.Jade walked up to Neve and asked, "Who do you think I am?""You... You're not dead?" Neve slowly opened her eyes, uncertain when she saw Jade in front of her.Her gaze fell on Jacob, who was lying on the floor unconscious, and she turned pale from fear. "What did you do to him?" "What you're seeing," Jade said vaguely, intentionally adding pressure to break down her defenses.Neve, who was terrified, shuddered as she tried to feel for Jacob's breath but dared not to."Jade, why did you deceive me into coming here?" Neve asked tearfully."How was Grandma poisoned?" Jade raised her voice, the ruthlessness in her gaze terrifying Neve."I
Although Lloyd had the antidote and the upper hand, there was someone with plenty of vulnerabilities, making it convenient for Jade to take action.Seeing that Jade had a plan, Owen calmed down. "Jade, what do you need? Just say the word."He was willing to do anything to help her, even if it meant risking his life. After all, Jade was the granddaughter-in-law Kennedy approved of, and Owen himself was her mentor. He couldn't let her down.Jade smiled as she told Owen, "There's something I actually need you to take care of, Master.""Go on," Owen replied, patting his chest. "Even if it costs me my life, I'll get it done for you.""There’s no need to risk your life," Jade said. She glanced at Neve, whose ears were still alert even though she was cowering on the floor, and swallowed her words.She signaled for Owen to step out of the room and whispered to him.Owen's face flushed red, and he seemed a bit uneasy. "This... This truly isn't something a young girl like you should handl
Jordan was about to say yes but saw that Jade had already pushed past him and started walking toward Lloyd's office, so he hurried to stop her. "Ms. Severin, please don't put me in a difficult position."Jade gave him a warning look, her gaze stern. She didn't look like someone asking for help. Instead, she seemed more like someone seeking revenge.Jordan was frightened to stillness by her cold gaze. By the time he snapped out of it, she had already barged into Lloyd's office as if she owned the place.Jade kicked the door open with a bang.Her sudden appearance startled Lloyd, but he calmed down when he saw her. He was even a bit pleased. Jade had not disappointed him. Even in adversity, she maintained her indomitable spirit.Jordan followed Jade and bowed apologetically to Lloyd, looking uneasy. "I'm sorry, Mr. Zeal. I couldn't stop Ms. Severin."The contrast between the two of them was stark. Compared to Jordan's meekness, Lloyd found Jade's prickliness more appealing."You c
Lloyd gritted his teeth in anger, feeling utterly helpless against Jade. She was the first woman he'd encountered who wouldn't bend to his will, no matter how hard he pushed or how much he coaxed her."What are you talking about? I don't understand," Lloyd said, irritably running his hand through his hair. He couldn't believe he hadn't noticed before how sharp Jade's tongue could be.Jade remained unperturbed, glancing at her watch to remind Lloyd. "There’s no rush on my end, Mr. Zeal. Take your time to think it over. Whenever you remember what I need, just give it to me. While I'm not in a hurry, though, someone else might be."Understanding her veiled threat, Lloyd grew nervous. "What do you mean by that?""You'll find out soon enough," Jade said cryptically.As soon as she finished speaking, Lloyd's phone rang. He glanced at it and his face went pale.The video he had received on his phone showed his father, Kerrigan, having "fun" with not one but two women.Lloyd hastily tur
Jade turned and walked away, her back straight and proud, like a victorious general.Lloyd's face turned ashen with rage, but he couldn't do anything to stop her. Jade was right—he was the one in the weaker position."Jade, Jade..." Lloyd suddenly swept everything off his table in a fit of rage. Veins bulged on his forehead as he violently vented his anger.Hearing the commotion, Jordan rushed in, stunned to see the mess in the room and Lloyd's fury.Lloyd had been raised as an upper society member, taught to speak calmly and logically even in moments of anger. But now, he was so enraged that he had resorted to violence.How terrifying was Jade to push Lloyd to this extent…"Mr. Zeal, I'll go grab her," Jordan said, trying to appease Lloyd. However, Lloyd answered with a barrage of curses. "Get out. Get out!"Dejected, Jordan left, unaware of the turmoil in Lloyd's heart. Jade's move had completely destroyed his pride."Jade, I will never let you off the hook," Lloyd muttered,
Leah nodded. Since she was still feeling a bit weak from waking up, she needed to rest.Seeing that she looked tired, Jade said considerately, "Grandma, you go ahead and sleep for a while. I'll be right outside the door."Leah smiled and closed her eyes in response.Once Jade saw Leah fall asleep, she quietly left the room. There were bodyguards Owen had brought outside the door, ensuring Leah's safety, so Jade was not worried. With that settled, she turned her attention to dealing with Jacob.This time, she was determined to send Jacob to prison. She had been vigilant enough to record all of Jacob's actions that day, so he wouldn't be able to escape.Then, Owen called her."Jade, there's something I need to tell you." Owen's tone was serious, making Jade nervous."What's wrong? Go ahead.""Jacob escaped," Owen said helplessly. "My men were careless, and with Neve covering for him, he was already gone by the time we noticed.""He escaped?" Jade's voice rose involuntarily, and
