It was Giselle's passport."Master, you're amazing!" Jade exclaimed sincerely. "As expected of a veteran. Giselle probably will never expect she's been under your surveillance for a while now."Owen felt a bit embarrassed by Jade's praise, but his lack of facial expressions made him appear a bit odd."Let's hurry to the airport. We might just witness a good show," Owen suggested.Jade nodded, leaving the room with Owen and heading to the airport together.…Meanwhile, Giselle was still unaware that her passport was missing as she flirted with Damien in the airport lounge. "Honey, do you think we should extend our stay abroad?"Damien kissed her cheek and affectionately replied, "Of course, baby. Whatever you want, I'll do it for you.""You're the best, honey," Giselle said, feeling sorry for herself as she remembered being rejected by Caelan. She considered herself superior to Jade in every aspect, yet he hadn't spared her a glance.She snuggled up to Damien, but in her mind,
"Older woman?" Giselle's eyes widened with anger. She believed she had taken good care of herself, staying young and fashionable. Thus, being called an older woman was unacceptable.Damien seemed to grasp the art of insulting her as he continued. "You're six years older than me, yet you want me to call you 'sweet baby' all the time. Can you be any more disgusting?""Argh!" Giselle slapped him hard across the face, yelling, "Get lost! Get out of here now!"Damien spat at her and briskly walked away. "Gladly."The lounge was filled with onlookers as Giselle pointed at them and shouted like a mad woman, "What are you looking at? Get lost, all of you!"As the crowd dispersed, she slumped into a chair, contemplating her next move.Jade, who had been observing from the crowd, finally revealed herself. "What an exciting show."Upon seeing her, Giselle screamed as if she had seen a monster, "Jade, why are you here?!"Jade smiled. "Why can't I be here? Why are you so afraid to see me? D
"What? You want me never to come back? Jade, you're too vicious," Giselle yelled defiantly, her gaze filled with hatred toward Jade.If it weren't for Jade, she and Caelan would have been together long ago. How could she have fallen into such a predicament?Jade remained unmoved. "Think whatever you want. The path has been laid out for you. How you walk it is up to you." If she didn't drive Giselle away, the latter would inevitably act crazier out of her love for Caelan. For Caelan's sake, Giselle had to leave.Jade handed the passport back to Giselle and said calmly, "Think about it. Whether you want to risk losing the Withrow Group or go abroad."Clutching the passport, Giselle felt her hatred reach its peak, but she pretended to relent. "Fine, I'll go abroad."Workers were approaching with a cart from a distance, and Giselle's eyes glinted. With a strong push, she shoved Jade toward the pile of goods and ran toward the exit.Jade hadn't expected her sudden attack and couldn'
Giselle paid no attention to anything, crying and making a scene as if throwing a tantrum. She even ignored the fact that her body was bleeding, punching her own abdomen.It seemed she really didn't want this child.Jade saw through her intention and advised coldly, "Whether you live or die is none of my concern. If I hadn't seen you, I could have ignored it. But since I did, I can't just leave you alone because I'm a doctor."She gripped Giselle's wrist, locking eyes with her, and said firmly, "So, don't try to put on a dramatic show in front of me."Giselle was so shocked that she couldn't even utter a word. She looked at Jade's icy face and couldn't help but break down and cry, "You're such a heartless creature. You'll get what's coming to you!""If I face consequences, it's my business, not yours," Jade replied.The ambulance arrived, and paramedics carried Giselle away.Jade didn't want to get involved in this mess, but as she was about to leave, a medical staff member stop
Caelan sucked in a cold breath, shocked. He swiftly instructed Jade, "I'll contact the Withrows right away. Wait for me at the hospital."…Twenty minutes passed before he arrived at the hospital, accompanied by Giselle's parents.Even before they drew near, the sound of Giselle's mother's sobs echoed. "My daughter! How is she?"Jade looked up and saw Caelan striding over. Behind him were Emmett and a gorgeous middle-aged woman, Giselle's mother.The two rushed over and went straight to the doctor's office. Passing by Jade, Melody glanced at her with hostility."She's Giselle's mother, Melody Halsey," Caelan introduced to Jade.Jade nodded, vaguely remembering the woman.Jade noticed Caelan's unusual mood and couldn't help but ask with concern upon recalling last night's events, "Are you okay?"Caelan's dim eyes brightened at her words. He fixed his gaze on Jade's, uncertainly asking, "Are you concerned about me?"Jade's heart raced as she looked into Caelan's eyes. What woul
Emmett's voice dripped with anger. "What else do you want? Our daughter is already in this state. Do you want to cause a scene and embarrass her even more?"Melody tearfully said, "I want to sue her and make her pay for Giselle's emotional damage."The more they spoke, the more unreasonable they seemed.Jade felt her kindness was being taken for granted. If she had known Giselle's parents would react like this, she wouldn't have sent Giselle to the hospital.Jade remained calm and composed. "Are you finished? Can I speak now?"Though hurtful, Giselle's parents' words couldn't affect her."Go ahead and speak. What else do you have to say, you murderer?" Melody's gaze on Jade was venomous."I regret that Giselle can't be a mother, but I don't sympathize with her because it's her own fault. If she knew how to respect herself, she wouldn't have ended up like this," Jade said, angering Giselle's parents.Melody wished she could tear Jade's mouth apart. "How can there be such a malic
If Caelan truly meant nothing to her, then what significance did her days spent watching over him mean?"But you succeeded, didn't you?" Caelan's mind was eerily clear yet twisted beyond words. "You knew she was going to drug you. If you truly cared about me, how could you not consider that I was also in danger?"He flung Jade's hand away and spoke with disdain. "From the start, you've been using me for your own gain. You've never been genuine. Jade, you're adept at playing games.""Caelan, I hope you reconsider what you just said and offer me an apology." At this point, Jade was also incensed. "I'm not Giselle. I don't have numerous schemes to employ against you.""Is that so?" Caelan sneered, his gaze piercing. "Can you honestly say you've never enticed me?"Jade was stunned. She suddenly recalled the first time she encountered Caelan. She had been set up by Gemma and ended up in his room in a panic, where he had caught her in less than-appropriate attire."But that was a misun
Jade held her phone, feeling conflicted about Caelan's response. It seemed too indifferent.Was he happy or angry?She guessed for a while but couldn't figure out his thoughts, so she replied with another message.Jade: [Does 'Mm.' mean you're not angry anymore?]Caelan: [I can only say that I got it.]His reply was quick this time.Caelan: [Do you think I'm someone you can brush off with just a few words?]Jade's heart clenched. Gathering her courage, she asked.Jade: [So, what do you want me to do?]Caelan: [Depends on what you do.]That was Caelan's final message. He didn't reply again.Jade pondered for a while and concluded that with Caelan's stubborn personality, he wouldn't apologize first. The fact that he was willing to talk to her was already a relief.Although Caelan didn't respond to her messages anymore, she still replied.Jade: [My feelings for you are genuine, with no ulterior motives or external factors. So please don't misunderstand me anymore.]After sen
