The Supreme Heiress Chapter 60
At this point, she covered her mouth in surprise and pretended to be afraid. "Could someone have spiked the drinks?"The fact that the older sister had brought food laced with drugs at the younger sister's engagement ceremony was just too sensational.Gemma panicked now that her counterattack had failed. "Jade, don't speak without a conscience. Your engagement is a big deal for the Severins. Neve was really happy. How could she have harmed you? She knew you were getting engaged and she even asked me to give you a diamond bracelet. How can you turn against your sister when she treated you like this?"Gemma had a knack for distorting right and wrong. She captured perfectly the pained expression of a victim, and her performance even made the reporters present hesitate.Her acting skills would probably give a movie star a run for their money."Mom, why are you so agitated? I just said that someone spiked the drinks, but I didn't say it was Neve, did I?" Jade lowered her eyes, feeling

The reporters were sharp-tongued, and every question hit a sore spot in Gemma. It was something she didn't want to face but had to.Gemma panicked, helplessly watching as everyone pointed fingers at her, vehemently denying it all. "It's pure nonsense. Regardless of whether Jade is my biological daughter or not, I raised her. A marriage alliance with the Fitzgeralds would only benefit the Severins. What reason could I have to do such a thing? If you keep spreading rumors, I'll sue you."After a brief moment of panic, Gemma got her bearings. Even though Neve had been caught red-handed, Gemma would still try to spin the situation in her favor."Even if Neve added something to the drinks, who can find proof that it was an aphrodisiac?"It had to be said that Gemma was eloquent, and the reporters were all left stupefied by her words."Proof? Are you talking about this?" Caelan, who had been coldly watching Gemma's theatrics, finally spoke up.He opened his palm, revealing a bottle. "I

"Mr. Fitzgerald, can we have a word?" Melvin looked at Caelan pleadingly, as Caelan was the most authoritative figure there. As long as he spoke up, the situation would be resolved.However, Caelan ignored Melvin and turned to Jade.Jade was calm, but there was an icy coldness in her eyes, as if she was harboring a tremendous amount of energy that was ready to explode at any moment.Melvin also noticed Jade's expression and immediately reacted. "Jade, today is your engagement day, so we can't afford any mishaps. If this gets exposed by the media, it won't be good for you."Although he seemed to be saying this for Jade's sake, Melvin was thinking of his own interests. If Neve's situation was exposed, it would be difficult for her to marry into a wealthy family.Everyone subconsciously looked at Jade, as if she could resolve the situation with a word and turn a crisis into nothing.Jade smirked. "Dad, you know today is my engagement day, but Mom and Neve gave me such a big 'gift' o

Caelan didn't look good. Melvin's statement hadn't diffused the situation. On the contrary, it had made it even more tense. He had not wanted to witness this scandal today."Escort the guests out," Caelan said coldly.Samuel gestured to the journalists to leave, then led them to the hotel lobby. The journalists were anxious, unable to guess what Caelan was thinking. Should they publish this sensational scandal or not?"What did Mr. Fitzgerald mean, Mr. Ritson?" someone dared to ask.Samuel clasped his hands with a polite smile on his face. "This is a Severin affair. What does it have to do with Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald?"The implication was that since Melvin had already asked for a divorce from Gemma, they had distanced themselves. No matter how the reporters wrote about the story, it wouldn't affect the Fitzgeralds or Jade. As for Gemma and Neve, they were no longer the Fitzgeralds’ concern."Oh, now that you put it that way, I understand completely, Mr. Ritson." The journalists

In her past life, the Fitzgerald Group's stocks had plummeted due to the scandal. Even though the blame had been pinned on Gemma and the Severins this time, the Fitzgerald Group would still be affected to some extent.Jade felt powerless to change the situation. She got out of Caelan's car and watched helplessly as it disappeared into the distance.Inside the car, Caelan had a frosty expression on his face. Samuel saw his cold face in the rearview mirror and felt sympathy for Jade."Sir, I don't think Ms. Jade did anything wrong," Samuel finally said after holding back for so long.Caelan looked at him icily. "Are you accusing me of being heartless and cruel?"Samuel thought that Caelan was indeed heartless but he didn't dare be direct with him. He could only say, "I'm just saying that Ms. Jade's way of forcing Melvin to divorce Gemma was obviously in the best interests of the Fitzgerald Group, and you know it."Of course Caelan knew this, but he hated being disregarded, especial

"What do you mean?" Melvin felt a bit panicked upon seeing Gemma's confident demeanor.He had lived with her for over 20 years, so they both knew each other's secrets quite well. Gemma's tone just now had clearly been threatening."I mean exactly what I said." Gemma smirked sinisterly. "Don't think I don't know about all the dirty things you've done. Over the years, you've evaded paying taxes, used company funds for high-interest loans, and bribed officials. I've kept a record of everything.""You wretched woman, how dare you scheme against me?!" Melvin lost control and moved to hit Gemma, but she unexpectedly retaliated with a slap."I said what needed to be said. If I don't get what I want, Melvin, you won't have it easy either. Once I hand over that evidence to the authorities, you'll be in deep trouble." Gemma shoved past Melvin and strode out after making this threat.As she left, she saw Jade and stopped. "I never thought I'd fall into the hands of a lowly creature like you.

Jade lowered her gaze before stating firmly, "I'll tell you, but you have to make up for the missing taxes.""What?" Melvin's eyes widened in shock as he pointed at Jade and cursed. "After raising you for so long, is this how you repay me?"Leah glared at Melvin, then turned to Jade. "Jade, is what you're saying true?"Leah was more afraid of Melvin going to jail than anything else."Grandma, it's true," Jade said confidently.In her previous life, Melvin hadn't divorced Gemma because of this evidence. Despite that, the consequences had been disastrous. She had used that evidence to threaten Melvin, gaining control of the Severins, and even poisoned Leah, leaving her bedridden. Jade had only found out later that the evidence had been hidden in Gemma's jewelry box compartment. Leah nodded sadly, squeezing Jade's hand. "Good girl, Grandma didn't raise you in vain."Melvin felt puzzled, as he did not understand why Leah had agreed to Jade's terms. "Mom, you should think this throu

"Great, here's what’s happened. Mr. Melvin has been in a car accident and is currently undergoing emergency treatment. We need a family member to come to the hospital to sign for the surgery," the person on the other end said assertively.Melvin had been in a car accident? Jade's eyes widened. He had been perfectly fine when he had left just now. How had things taken a turn for the worse so suddenly?"How is he? Is his condition critical?" Jade asked.The other person seemed to have no time to talk further and sounded rather anxious. "Yes, the patient is already unconscious and needs immediate surgery. Please come as soon as possible."Upon saying that, they hung up.Jade held her phone, feeling a bit overwhelmed for a moment. Two seconds later, she got out of bed, grabbed her coat, and hurried outside.As she descended the stairs, she kept dialing Melvin's phone, but it was still switched off.Upon getting downstairs, she saw Brianna and stopped her in her tracks. "Brianna, I n

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
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 773
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
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 771
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 Supreme Heiress Chapter 769
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
