The Supreme Heiress Chapter 489
Lloyd, accompanied by his bodyguards, fled in shame, trailed by journalists forming a long queue behind his car.After the dispersal of the crowd, the Zeal mansion's tranquility finally returned."Ms. Severin, thank you," Kayden sincerely expressed his gratitude to Jade. Had it not been for Jade's plan, how easily could Lloyd have fallen into their trap?With this commotion, the tide had turned in their favor. Many discussed how Lloyd, with his youthful arrogance, was unfit to lead the Zeal Group.Meanwhile, Kayden, typically understated, swiftly became the object of public adoration. Surrounded by journalists at the Zeal mansion, he had remained composed, earning a following of fans.Jade pushed Sophie toward him with a smile. "No problem. I merely did what was necessary."Jade was deeply moved by the love between Kayden and Sophie and took immediate action upon learning of Lloyd's plan to kidnap Sophie to threaten Kayden. Not only did she thwart his scheme but also orchestrated

A few days later, Kerrigan's case went to trial. Lloyd hired the most famous lawyer for him, instructing the attorney beforehand that they could only win and not lose.The lawyer was under immense pressure—everyone knew this case was difficult to win—but Lloyd offered him a hefty sum. Despite the challenges, he was determined to proceed."Understood, Mr. Lloyd."Satisfied, Lloyd nodded. He had prepared extensively for this trial. Losing was not an option. Since Lloyd's previous incident had caused the Zeal Group's stocks to plummet, he didn't attend the trial in person. However, he could see everything that happened in the courtroom clearly.The judge arrived, as did others, followed by the plaintiff and defendant. Kayden and Kerrigan met again, both looking particularly resentful.After over a month in custody, Kerrigan had aged significantly, barely recognizable with his once-dark hair now white, adding a decade to his appearance. In contrast, Kayden seemed rejuvenated after h

Jade swaggered in, took a seat in front of Lloyd, and looked at him with a cold smirk. "I'm here to tell you that you won't win this lawsuit."Lloyd gritted his teeth, glaring at her. She was just a woman he didn't take seriously, yet he had repeatedly fallen into her traps. It wasn't that he wasn't cautious enough, it was just that Jade was incredibly cunning. It seemed like she was born to thwart him, knowing all his weaknesses and exploiting them every time they clashed."What do you mean?" Learning from past experiences, Lloyd didn't dare to confront Jade rashly again and adopted a somewhat appeasing attitude."Jade, I remember I haven't offended you. Even if I did in the past, it was unintentional. After all, everyone loves beautiful things. You wouldn't hold a grudge against me for that, would you?" Lloyd really didn't understand why Jade bore such resentment toward him. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have provoked her or even entertained the idea of recruiting her under

Despite Lloyd shouting several times, nobody came in.Jade ignored Lloyd's frustration and continued. "I've already investigated that Wade received a 70,000,000-dollar deposit three years ago. Although the money was wired from a foreign bank, what piques my curiosity is the intricate connection between this account and the Zeals."She slowly walked up to Lloyd, her dark eyes staring intently at him. "Tell me, what do you think will happen if I present this evidence to the judge?"Lloyd was astonished. He thought he had been careful enough, so why was Jade still able to uncover his tracks? Was she some kind of devil?Lloyd's mind began to crumble bit by bit. In his desperate bid to gain control of the Zeal Group's inheritance, Kerrigan had bribed Wade with a large sum of money to help him fabricate evidence. Now, Jade had dug it all up. Wade was like a time bomb. Once he spilled everything, Lloyd would be finished.Lloyd suppressed his fear and tried to maintain his composure. "Don

Just as Kayden was about to give up, a surprising scene unfolded. The defendant's lawyer made a startling move—he stood up and told the judge, "Your Honor, I request a recess."The judge was puzzled. The defendant's side was in a favorable position, and pressing forward would almost guarantee their victory. However, he respected their choice."Very well, recess," he declared, agreeing to the defendant's request.Outside the courtroom, Kayden looked at the opposing side in confusion. "What's the meaning of this?""Mr. Kayden, we're dropping the case," the defendant's lawyer said before leaving, astonishing Kayden.Kayden's phone rang, so he answered only to find Lloyd on the line."Uncle Kayden, as you wished, you will receive 50% of the Zeal Group's shares," Lloyd said before hanging up abruptly.Kayden held the phone, baffled, and turned to his lawyer. "What's happening?"Neither he nor the lawyer understood.With a mind swirling with questions, Kayden hastened to the Zeal Gr

Kayden's eyes filled with tears as he covered his face and cried, "Father, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"His plight evoked sympathy, but now wasn't the time for tears. There was still a heap of things he needed to do."Kayden, I need your help with something," Jade said, her expression serious.Kayden looked up at her and nodded. "Whatever it is, just tell me. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best.""You must help me find the key to Lloyd's laboratory. It's crucial for me," Jade requested.From the beginning, her goal had been the laboratory. She had made her intentions clear to Kayden from the start.As such, he wasn't surprised when she made this request. There had to be something significant for her to desire access to the lab."Now that I can freely enter and exit the Zeal Group, I'll find a way to get the key," Kayden assured Jade. She had helped him so much, and he owed her this much in return."Thank you," Jade replied with a relieved smile. It seemed her dec

Sophie's worries rendered Stella speechless. She stared at Sophie for a full minute before speaking. "You're supposed to be an educated young lady from a wealthy family. What era are we living in that you still think like this? Why bother with those internet trolls? You and Kayden have finally come this far. Don't overthink it."Stella's words provided some comfort to Sophie, but she still couldn't completely let go of her worries."Okay, I understand." Sophie didn't want Stella to worry about her, so she forced a smile.Noting Sophie's response, Stella realized she hadn't convinced her. Although she was concerned, she refrained from pressuring Sophie too much. She understood she had her own obstacles to overcome.After leaving Sophie, Stella met Jade at a nearby coffee shop."How's it going?" They settled in, discussing the situation over coffee.Stella sighed before delicately sipping her coffee. "This is something others can't solve. We'll need to wait until she comes to her s

That was why Cooper sounded sarcastic when Jade called.Jade knew he was a bit moody, so she said with a smile, "Cut it out. I have something to ask you.""Go ahead, what's up?" Cooper knew that Jade rarely asked for help, so when she did, it must be something she couldn't handle herself.Jade knew Cooper's forte and figured he could help.Cooper almost guessed her intention as soon as she spoke. He chuckled. "Who do you want me to investigate?""Smart of you to figure out my plan so quickly." Jade knew he'd fall for it, so she preemptively praised him. "I want you to help me look into Sophie's situation and find out who's behind the smear campaign against her."Recently, Sophie had been targeted in various scandals, and it seemed someone was deliberately attacking her.Jade knew who was behind it but lacked evidence. She feared Sophie wouldn't be able to handle it if it went on.Cooper was aware of Sophie's situation, so he understood when Jade mentioned it. Sophie was good fr

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. Althou

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
