Sighing, Jade resigned herself. "No one, just feeling a bit frustrated lately."

"Did Samuel tell you about the photos?" Caelan thought for a moment, then remembered the anonymous email.

Jade quickly went along and nodded. "It's been a string of bad luck lately, one thing after another. The other party won't stop until they bring me down."

"I've already had someone look into it. You don't need to worry, I'll handle it." Caelan was unusually gentle and considerate, and it instantly dissolved Jade's temper.

She reached a hand out to Caelan. "Where are the photos? Let me see."

Caelan brought up the photos on his phone and placed it in her hand, saying, "Just some lowly trickery, unworthy of attention."

Jade took his phone. Upon seeing the kissing photo with Lloyd, she felt her stomach churn and she huffed in anger. "How despicable of them to intentionally play with angles for deception!"

Afterward, she looked at Caelan somewhat gratefully. "Thank goodness you trust me. Otherwise, I

    Caelan appeared devoid of happiness, his brows knitted in a deep furrow."This is just the initial model, not fully developed yet. Currently, it can only track locations. When upgraded in the future, it will offer more functions," he explained briefly to Jade.Despite its preliminary state, Jade felt content. She expanded on Caelan's thoughts. "In the future, will it be able to make calls and video calls?"Jade's eyes sparkled as she gazed at Caelan. The admiration in her expression pleased him, eliciting a rare smile. "For now, there are only two units—one with you and one with me."He showed Jade his wrist, where he also had a wristband identical to hers, except slightly larger.Jade touched the wristband on her wrist, the sweetness in her smile reaching deep into her heart. Only two units—that meant they were a couple's edition.Such a unique gift was far superior to rings or necklaces."What's up?" Caelan asked softly as he saw her grinning foolishly.His deep voice echoed

    Samuel hailed a taxi on the roadside and waved to Jade. "Ms. Severin, thank you. I'm so happy today."As the taxi drove away, Jade shook her head, smiling in disbelief. Did they truly need to react like that just because Caelan smiled a bit more?Upon returning to her dormitory, Melanie's excited voice greeted her. "Wow, can you believe it? Kerry's stocks are plummeting so much!"Jade leaned in to get a closer look and confirmed Melanie's observation: Kerry Pharmaceutical's stocks were on a clear downward trend.With a confident smile, she remarked, "Their stocks are bound to plummet. Unless they figure out a solution soon, the decline will likely continue.""At this rate, bankruptcy isn't far off, right?" Melanie exclaimed.Jade smirked, her eyes glinting icily. Kerry Pharmaceutical's retribution had finally arrived.'Lloyd, I'm going to make you watch as Kerry crumbles in your hands, bit by bit. That feeling of helplessness and inevitable loss must be unbearable, right? Whatev

    Jade opened the door to find shattered glass and a splatter of rotten eggs everywhere, emitting a foul stench. The perpetrator had already fled the scene."Are you kidding me? Throwing rotten eggs at our dorm door? Why don't you come out and throw it in my face if you have the guts?" Melanie barked, her voice echoing around.Some dormitory residents popped their heads out, their expression gloating."Isn't this Miss Clotheap's dorm? Why is it being targeted with rotten eggs now? It must be because you're so popular. Otherwise, why isn't anyone targeting us? Hahaha..."Once someone started, others joined in."You know, I've always said there's no such thing as a perfect person in this world. Winning awards and marrying into the Fitzgeralds—turns out she has a whole other side behind her back. Such talent isn't something we ordinary folks can possess."The crowd's words were sharp and aimed directly at Jade.Before her image was shattered, everyone looked at her with admiration, t

    "This is absolutely outrageous! Since our university's founding, we've never encountered such brawling. You all have set a terrible precedent today. You've all received higher education, yet you've engaged in such disgraceful behavior. Have you forgotten everything you've learned?" The dean of student affairs, Jeremiah Lowe, slammed his desk in frustration, scolding the students involved in the fight.Jade and Melanie stood in the corner, exchanging glances that conveyed their shared sense of helplessness."We're really the scapegoats here," Melanie muttered. "We were just trying to break up the fight, and yet we're being scolded along with them."Jade quickly nudged Melanie, signaling her to stop talking."What are you muttering about over there?" Unfortunately, it was too late. Jeremiah had noticed Melanie and pointed at her, demanding an explanation. "If you have something to say, come up here and say it to my face."Melanie reluctantly stepped forward to defend herself and Jad

    The students speculated about what had happened, but Jeremiah waved his hand, dismissing them. Then, he hurriedly walked out.After a few steps, he turned back and told Jade, "Go back to your dorm first. Your case is pending.""Pending?" Melanie widened her eyes. "What does that mean? Just a moment ago, he was defending you, and now it's pending? Doesn't the school know you've been wronged?"Jade remained remarkably calm. From the beginning of this incident until now, it felt like there had been a hidden agenda against her. Even if she wanted to stay out of it, it was impossible now. Since the other party was determined to fight her, she would oblige.As the students filed out of the office, some couldn't resist mocking Jade."What a jinx, making us write self-criticisms.""Have some shame. You started the fight, so why should Jade be involved?" Melanie retorted loudly.As it seemed another argument was about to erupt, Jade quickly intervened. "What's the matter? Do you think 5,

    Melanie looked at Jade sympathetically and whispered, "Doesn't this put you in danger?"Everything Melanie said, Jade already knew."What's the school's stance now?" Jade asked the young man."The school is currently discussing matters with the board of trustees. As for the outcome, I'm unsure. But don't be too pessimistic. You're highly regarded by the school—they won't easily give up on you. And regarding any disciplinary action, don't take it too seriously. Even if it occurs, it's only because the school has no other choice."Seeing him speak this way, Jade guessed the school's decision had already been made. She thanked the young man, "Thank you.""You're welcome." The young man flashed a toothy smile, giving off a warm vibe."Oh, by the way, I don't know your name. It's rude to keep calling you 'hey'," Jade said."I'm Hunter Alridge, a sophomore student and the student union's president," Hunter introduced himself, smiling brightly at Jade.'Hunter Alridge…' Jade searched

    Jade stood out at Clotheap University as one of its most esteemed students, particularly excelling in academics and the field of medicine. Given her impressive credentials, it seemed improbable that the school administration would easily dismiss her.Vincent broke into a sweat, quickly denying, "Jade, you're overthinking it. Your situation has simply placed you in a delicate position. Granting you a break is for your own safety. The board of trustees holds strong opinions about you. If they were to take action, what would we do?"Vincent wore a forced smile, feeling trapped in the middle because he couldn't afford to offend either Jade or the board of trustees."Jade, I think taking a break would be a good idea." Jeremiah leaned in to speak to Jade, lowering his voice. "Dealing with the board of trustees isn't easy. If they continue to pressure the school, taking a break won't be the end of it by then. During this time, we can also investigate who's behind the rumors about you."Me

    Vincent felt uneasy about Jade's request to address the board of trustees, given the strained relationship between the parties. What if their discussion escalated into conflict?Jeremiah, however, viewed the situation differently. With the administration already navigating choppy waters, Jade's initiative could absolve the university of responsibility.In a hushed tone, Jeremiah suggested to Vincent, "Why not allow Jade to address the board? We're on campus, and her status carries weight. The trustees will likely weigh the repercussions before acting."Vincent's expression brightened at the idea. Indeed, Jade had the backing of the Severins. Even if the trustees opposed her, they'd have to tread carefully.With this in mind, Vincent reached a decision. "Alright, proceed to the conference room and address them. Remember, our goal is to defuse the situation. No conflicts whatsoever—the university must ensure your protection.""Thank you, Mr. Lawrence. Thank you, Mr. Lowe." Jade smil

    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.

    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

    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
