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
Neve cracked a smile. Luck finally seemed to be smiling upon her. In her moment of desperation, she found an unlikely ally in Raelyn, an enemy of Jade. The enemy of her enemy would be her friend, so she was determined to cling to Raelyn as a lifeline."Raelyn, what do you want me to do?" Neve couldn't wait to hear Raelyn's plan to bring Jade to ruin.Raelyn smiled innocently, but her gaze held a hint of calculation. "Taking down Jade won't be easy. You're powerless at the moment. Going against Jade is like throwing an egg at a rock.""I know, but I'm at my wit's end." Neve sighed helplessly. "My entertainment career is ruined. I have nothing left. What can I do?""You're not without options." Raelyn smirked cunningly. "The Zeals are your way out. If you want to take down Jade, you'll have to become Mrs. Zeal.""Lloyd?!" Neve widened her eyes in terror as she pictured Lloyd's fierce face. She didn't want to live under his thumb, enduring a life worse than death."No! He's nothing
Jade nodded with a happy smile. "You scared me! I thought you wouldn't be able to accept it and worried about you all night."Melanie threw off the covers and got out of bed, forcing a smile. "What's there for me to feel down about? I'm not the type to dwell on things.""Yeah, yeah, our Melanie is the best," Jade exaggerated. "Melanie is the cutest little fairy.""That's right. I'm so good-looking," Melanie said smugly, amusing Jade, who burst into laughter.Suddenly, Melanie stopped laughing, and her expression turned serious.Jade couldn't understand why until Melanie jutted her chin toward the door and lowered her voice to say, "I'm going to slip away first."She then grabbed a towel and quickly slipped into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.Jade followed Melanie's gaze and saw Caelan standing at the door in a sharp suit. He knocked on the door, his voice deep. "You didn't close the door. Can I come in?"Jade blushed involuntarily upon seeing him, vividly recalling
Caelan's intense gaze locked onto Jade, trapping her in an invisible net that made it difficult for her to breathe."Do you love me?" he asked.Jade's heart skipped a beat, then started racing wildly. Was Caelan asking her this because of the kiss from yesterday?She looked at him tenderly, a voice in her heart screaming, 'Yes, I love you, very much.'When those words came to her lips, however, she couldn't say it. She was too nervous, unable to form the words.Caelan waited for Jade's response for a long time. The passion in his gaze cooled down, and he lost his patience. "If you don't love me, why did you do that yesterday?"Because of Jade's kiss, he had experienced his first sleepless night in over 20 years. He had spent the night restless, arriving early the next day to find Jade and seek an answer from her.Jade wanted to tell Caelan her true feelings but couldn't utter a word because of her nervousness."Jade, you disappoint me," Caelan said, turning to leave in frustrat
The road was bustling with traffic, and Jade waited for a cab for a long time, but none appeared. Just as she was about to leave, a flashy red sports car pulled up in front of her.Raelyn looked arrogantly at her through her sunglasses. "What a coincidence, we meet again."Jade wasn't expecting to run into Raelyn here. She raised her eyebrows and replied with a question, aiming to hit her where it hurt. "Ms. McAuley, here to check your knees at the hospital?"The incident where Raelyn knelt to apologize to Tiffany would haunt her forever. Jade intentionally brought it up to provoke Raelyn.As expected, she exploded in anger. Despite this, Raelyn suppressed her emotions and calmly stated, "I'm not here to argue with you today. Do you want to know something about Tiffany?""Tiffany? What happened to her?" Jade asked, her expression wary.The fact that Raelyn was concerned about Tiffany was unbelievable.With Jade's curiosity piqued, Raelyn leaned against the window and smiled at h
With the phone in hand, Neve's face lit up with a triumphant smile. She quickly accessed Jade's phone and sent a text message to Lloyd.Jade: [Lloyd, you there? I want to talk to you.]It would be hard for Lloyd to resist when the text came from Jade's number.As expected, Lloyd replied almost instantly.Lloyd: [Jade, you actually took the initiative to contact me. It's a pleasant surprise.]Neve sneered and silently called Lloyd an animal, then replied to him in Jade's tone.Jade: [Surprised? You don't want to talk? That's fine.]Naturally, Lloyd took the bait and quickly responded.Lloyd: [It'd be my honor that Ms. Severin wants to talk to me. Let me guess… Have you had a change of heart and want to cooperate with me?]Lloyd, sly as he was, was trying to guess Jade's intentions from every angle.Jade: [Always about business. You're really suited for the business world. But I don't want to talk about that today. I just want to indulge myself a little.]Neve stopped replying
