Raelyn glared at Jade and Melanie, wanting to rush up and tear Melanie's mouth apart. Unfortunately, her legs wouldn't obey, so she seemed lowly as she kept kneeling."Jade, help me back." Tiffany didn't want to argue with Raelyn anymore. Her foot was still bleeding, and she felt weak.Jade nodded and stepped forward to support her arm, helping her move along with Melanie.Seeing the three about to leave the stage, Raelyn panicked. "Don't go, help me."Jade stopped, turned back, and looked at her coldly. "I'll help you as long as you apologize to Tiffany.""What?" Raelyn widened her eyes, asking reluctantly, "Why should I apologize to her? I won't bow down to her.""Oh, really?" Jade raised her voice. "It seems like you still haven't realized your place. Well then, you can continue kneeling here. Think about how embarrassing it will be when the guests come over."Raelyn bit her lip, her eyes darting around.Jade was right. If anyone saw her like that, she would be the laughings
"Tiffany." Just then, a stern female voice interrupted her.Jade glanced up to find Tiffany's mother standing before them, her expression seething with anger. Without hesitation, Merida strode over and slapped Tiffany sharply.With a crisp smack, Tiffany's face snapped to the side, and she slowly spat out the rest of her sentence. "I didn't have a choice."Jade wanted to intervene, but it was too late. All she could do was look at Merida in shock and anger and question, "She's your daughter! What are you doing? Haven't you seen her foot still bleeding?!"Merida glanced disdainfully at Jade and sneered. "Ah, Ms. Jade Severin. What a rare guest."Jade could naturally detect the sarcasm in her words, but now wasn't the time to argue with her. Tiffany was the priority.Ever since Merida's slap, Tiffany had fallen silent, not uttering another word. She remained as quiet as a lifeless tree.Melanie was also furious. She sarcastically remarked, "Life in the upper class really broadens
Tiffany felt ashamed and begged Merida to stop, but the latter didn't listen to her at all. Instead, she directly scolded Jade, "You better stop associating with Tiffany in the future. You two can never be friends. Your goal is the Fitzgerald Group, and our Tiffany's goal is also to become Mrs. Fitzgerald."What are you up to hypocritically approaching Tiffany? Dare you say you have no ulterior motives toward Caelan?"As Melanie watched from the sidelines, her anger flared up. If it weren't for Tiffany, she would have cursed aloud earlier. "Who do you think you are? You're just obsessed with money!"Let me tell you, Jade's abilities are not inferior to Caelan's. Despite her young age, she has achieved considerable success in the medical field. Her pharmaceutical company's products have already hit the market. Within the next three years, she will definitely catch up with Caelan and be on equal footing with him. Do you think one can win Caelan's heart with looks alone? If so, you're
Jade couldn't help but laugh at how indignant Melanie was. "You're saying that now, but I doubt you really mean it.""Nonsense, that's exactly what I mean. Whether rich or poor, we all live one life—the only difference lies in one's attitude." Melanie surprisingly showed some insight.It made Jade look at her in a new light. "Well, look at you, all grown up. So, are you willing to break up with Shane?"Melanie was taken aback, realizing that Jade was setting her up. "You trickster, always trying to trap me. I'm not talking to you anymore."She briskly walked ahead. Jade followed her and attempted to grab her hand with a playful giggle, only to be gently pushed away.Suddenly, Melanie halted, and Jade glanced at her, puzzled. Melanie nodded toward the black car ahead and whispered, "Isn't that Caelan's car?"Jade inspected it and nodded. "What's he doing here?"The car door swung open, and Samuel approached them, smiling. "Mr. Fitzgerald has been expecting you. Please, come in."
Melanie pushed away his hand with disgust. "Then what is it? Don't tell me they're just your friends, and you were just having a drink together with nothing else going on. Shane, I might be a fool in love, but I can still tell the difference between trash and love. I've really misjudged you.""T-They..." Shane suddenly became tongue-tied, unsure of how to explain.Meanwhile, the women around him stood up, looking annoyed with Shane."Shane, what's the meaning of this? Weren't you supposed to be having drinks with us, exes? Are you trying to humiliate us by bringing your girlfriend here now? You scumbag."The women grabbed their bags and left.One of them kindly warned Melanie when she passed by, "Girl, you've got to open your eyes wide. Don't let this scumbag fool you. I just heard that his new girlfriend is a naive fool, and he's just toying with her for fun. He even said he had her head over heels for him in just a few days."The woman looked at pale-looking Melanie and couldn'
When Jade finally managed to grab the bottle, there was only a little left.Melanie was swaying, laughing bitterly. "Kill myself? Hahaha, what else do I need this life for?""Melanie, sober up. Is it worth it to do this for a scumbag like him?" Jade hugged Melanie tightly, afraid she might do something foolish again.Melanie stared at Jade, pointing to her chest, and cried, "It hurts so much here! So fucking much!"After saying that, she collapsed limply."Melanie, Melanie!" Jade held her firmly, looking anxiously at Caelan. "Quick, take her to the hospital."Caelan went forward to help Melanie and took her to the hospital.…After arriving at the hospital, the doctor's examination revealed that Melanie had passed out due to alcohol poisoning and needed to be hospitalized for observation.Melanie was taken to the ward, where a nurse started an IV drip for her.Jade sat beside her, feeling extremely distressed, as she watched her look so weak."Melanie, I'm sorry." She held M
While Caelan gazed at Jade in confusion, she suddenly leaned forward and pecked his lips before quickly pulling away.The tingling sensation on his lips felt like an electric shock, leaving his mind blank. Caelan stood frozen, resembling a statue, while Jade shyly retreated to the hospital.Only after she vanished from sight did Caelan slowly return to his senses. He smiled, and his eyes sparkled as if his entire world had been illuminated.…While hurrying back to the ward, Jade's cheeks flushed as red as tomatoes. She leaned against the door and covered her face, her heart beating rapidly."What have I done, what have I done? How could I be so bold?" Jade wished she could turn back time. She didn't know what had gotten into her brain just now to make such a bold move toward Caelan.Was he angry? Happy? Would he think she was frivolous?'Oh god…'Jade sighed deeply, lamenting her actions."Miss, what's wrong?" A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Jade. A caretaker loo
Bella was furious and swiftly acted to cancel Neve, She erased all traces of Neve's roles and sent a stern warning to the entertainment industry: anyone who dared to support Neve would receive no favors from her.Almost immediately, Neve faced rejection, with everyone clamoring for her downfall. She went from the heights of success to the depths of despair.Left with no source of income, Neve had no choice but to seek shelter in a small, dilapidated rental house."You bitch, why don't you just die? I hope you get assaulted by groups! I curse you to have a foul death! Die, die, die..." Neve went mad and vented her frustration on a puppet, seemingly taking it for Jade herself.She tore the puppet to shreds but still didn't feel satisfied. She wanted to take her anger out on something else, but there was nothing left to smash in the room."You bitch, I'm going to kill you today." A murderous glint flashed in Neve's eyes as she ran out like a mad woman, but she was immediately pinned
