Jordan stood by Lloyd's side, feeling equally distressed as he watched Lloyd's dejected expression. Suddenly, he remembered something important. "Mr. Zeal, what will happen to Mrs. Zeal now that we're leaving?"

Lloyd snapped his head up. If Jordan hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten about Nina's existence altogether. It seemed like he hadn't seen her since the party had begun. Thinking of Nina filled him with irritation.

"We're too preoccupied to worry about her. She'll suffer if she follows us. If she stays, Paul will take care of her."

Right from the beginning, Lloyd hadn't included Nina in his life plans. While preparing to escape, he had even ignored her existence.

The wind on the rooftop was chilly, making Lloyd shiver. Suddenly, Jordan pointed southwest and exclaimed, "Mr. Zeal, look! What's that?"

Lloyd followed his gaze and saw a building southwest with billowing smoke, flames shooting into the sky.

"Isn't that the Zeal Group tower?" Jordan, who was shocked, exam

    The news of the fire at the Zeal Group spread like wildfire, and Lloyd's seemingly righteous demeanor on television attracted a wave of supporters. Everyone was fooled by him, except for Jade.Kayden, who had risked his life to obtain the keys, brought back a USB drive. Jade thought Lloyd would be doomed this time, but she hadn't expected the laboratory to suddenly catch fire, destroying all the evidence."Ms. Severin, do we stand a chance anymore?" Kayden, who had thick bandages wrapped around his arms and legs and countless minor injuries, looked at Jade anxiously, seeking an answer from her.Holding the USB drive, Jade trembled slightly as she looked at Kayden. "There's nothing on this USB drive.""What? How is that possible?" Kayden looked surprised. "If it's an empty drive, why was it kept in the safe?"This was also a puzzle that Jade couldn't solve. Logically, Lloyd shouldn't have known about her plan. In that case, why had he kept an empty drive in the safe?"Focus on hea

    Jordan nodded. "I know what to do."Lloyd waved his hand to dismiss Jordan, then slouched back on the sofa, exhausted. His nerves had been on edge for days and he hadn’t gotten any proper rest. Just as he closed his eyes, he heard Nina's voice. "Honey."Lloyd's instinctive reaction was disgust. He hadn't seen Nina in days and he couldn't care less about her well-being. He just hoped she'd stay far away from his life."Are you tired? Let me massage your shoulders." Nina tried to please Lloyd despite clearly noticing his reaction.As soon as her hands touched Lloyd's shoulder, he opened his eyes with a cold expression. "No need. Get some rest."Nina withdrew her hands, feeling disappointed, and forced a smile. "Honey, it's been days. Aren't you going to ask where I've been?""Besides shopping, where else would you go?"Nina's disappointment grew. "Don't you worry about me at all?"Lloyd opened his eyes with growing impatience and looked at Nina. "Worry? What should I be worried a

    Lloyd looked at Nina in horror, feeling a chill creeping up from the soles of his feet. She seemed like a completely different person, someone he couldn't recognize anymore. The old Nina wouldn't even have dared to kill a bug, let alone commit murder. How could she have changed so drastically overnight? "Are you really Nina?"Nina smiled nonchalantly. "What, are you scared?""I..." Lloyd wanted to argue, but his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, rendering him speechless. Saying he wasn't scared would be a lie. Anyone who had undergone such a drastic change in temperament would be frightening."Everything I've done I've done for you," Nina said, her gaze suddenly filled with sadness as she looked at Lloyd. Since she had married him, he had never looked at her with affection.Nina used to think she wasn't good or gentle enough, but she had later realized that no matter how good or gentle she was, Lloyd would never love her because his heart belonged to Jade. Unable to be

    There were many living subjects in the lab, and what Lloyd cared about most was their whereabouts. If they were to come out alive, they would pose the greatest danger to the Zeal Group.Nina, who was immersed in Lloyd's false affection, said with a smile, "Don't worry, they're all dead. Only dead people keep their mouths shut."Lloyd was shaken. Nina's ruthlessness had surpassed his expectations. "Well done. You truly are worthy of being my woman."Nina blushed shyly. "Of course I'm your woman. I've always been by your side. Honey, I've also prepared a big surprise for you.""Oh, what is it?" Lloyd raised an eyebrow in surprise. Nina always brought him unexpected surprises, and he wondered what it was this time."You'll find out in due time," Nina said mysteriously, tiptoeing to whisper in Lloyd's ear. "It's a gift that will make Jade tear her hair out. If she messes up, she might even end up behind bars.""It’s that good? I look forward to it," Lloyd said, pulling Nina into a ti

    Jade quickly changed her shoes to give the impression that she was in a hurry, as she was afraid Caelan might come after her. "It's Tiffany. She asked me out for coffee."Worried that he wouldn't believe her, she showed him her phone."Then you go ahead. We'll get back to it when you're back," Caelan said in a suggestive tone, his eyes flashing with a dangerous glint as he looked at Jade.Jade regretted flirting with him for no reason now. Once this man started flirting, he couldn't stop. "I'm off, bye!" As soon as Jade put on her shoes, she ran downstairs, opened the car door, started the engine, and drove off swiftly.Watching her panicked state, Caelan smirked. He touched his cheek with a hint of nostalgia, feeling the warmth Jade had left behind.Jade drove straight to where she was meeting Tiffany, who was already waiting there."Tiffany, what's up?" Jade greeted her cheerfully.As she stirred her coffee, Tiffany looked gloomy, setting off alarm bells in Jade's mind. "Wha

    "Ask? How?" Tiffany asked, looking puzzled.Jade flicked Tiffany's forehead. "Silly, I’ll ask Hunter if he likes you or not, of course.""Forget it. What if he rejects me? How will I face him then?""Tiffany, have you ever thought that if he leaves, you might never see him again in your life?" Jade said seriously to Tiffany.Tiffany's heart ached. "Is he really leaving?""The procedure will be done soon. Seize the chance while you still can." Jade encouraged her.Tiffany took a deep breath and finally mustered all her courage. "Okay, I'll go ask him."She got up to leave but was stopped by Jade, who looked her up and down. "Are you going like this?"Because Tiffany was so preoccupied with her crush on Hunter, she hadn't dressed up. She had just gone out in casual attire."Right, I should change into a dress." Just as Tiffany realized this, Jade shook her head. "You not only need to change into a dress, but you also need to bring him a gift. If it works out, it'll become a to

    Tiffany took out a small mirror and carefully examined her makeup, finally relaxing when she felt that there were no flaws.Jade sipped her coffee, watching Tiffany's nervous expression with a grin. This was what a woman in love was like—unable to tolerate even the slightest imperfection, always striving to maintain a perfect appearance in front of their beloved.Ten minutes later, Hunter arrived.Upon seeing him, Tiffany began to feel nervous. Jade gestured for her to calm down, and she nodded in response, forcing a smile even though her body became even more rigid."Hunter, over here." Jade waved to Hunter, who spotted her and walked over.Tiffany was too nervous to turn around. It was not until Hunter sat down that she smiled at him. Hunter smiled back at her, his soft gaze making her heart flutter.Jade, who observed Tiffany's helpless demeanor, cleared her throat and addressed Hunter. "Hunter, I apologize for not visiting you lately. I've been very busy. Is Emmy doing well?"

    Jade's expression changed before Hunter could finish his sentence.Hunter, who was puzzled, turned back to see Tiffany's pale face. She forced a smile and congratulated him. "Congratulations, Hunter. Uh, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."She took her bag and ran off with a hand over her mouth.Jade and Hunter were left dumbfounded."Tiffany, Tiffany!" Jade hadn't expected Tiffany to appear at such a critical moment, let alone overhear her conversation with Hunter. Jade quickly got up, grabbing her bag and telling Hunter, "I'll go after her. You take care.""I'll come along." Hunter seemed even more anxious than Jade, so he rushed out after speaking.By the time Jade caught up, Hunter and Tiffany had already left her far behind."Tiffany, wait up." Hunter, who was panting, finally caught up to Tiffany at a corner. He blocked her path, his tall figure towering over her as he asked, "Why are you running?"Tiffany's eyes were red, and she avoided answering, fo

    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
