The Supreme Heiress Chapter 724
Melanie's table manners were far from refined, but to Shane, they seemed endearing. When he realized his thoughts, he was genuinely startled. Studying Melanie closely, she was far from a stunning beauty. At best, she was a modestly pretty girl with a temper to match a mule. The fact that he found her agreeable made him wonder if he had lost his mind.Shane continued eating, occasionally hissing as the spicy food stung his tongue. His face and body were covered in bruises, giving him a somewhat disheveled appearance.Melanie ignored Shane, thinking of him as a lunatic. She focused on eating quickly, though she had no real appetite. She forced herself to eat to keep from collapsing.After finishing a bowl of soup, she put down her spoon.Shane frowned at her as if looking at a strange creature. "How can you eat so much?"Melanie's appetite almost matched his own, which baffled him. The women around him usually feared gaining weight from even a sip of juice and were extremely picky

Two figures stepped into the room, one after the other.The man leading the way had a commanding presence and a stern gaze that demanded respect. Beside him stood a woman in her 50s, though she appeared much younger due to her well-maintained appearance. Her skin was smooth, and her makeup was impeccably applied, giving her the look of someone in her early 40s.They were none other than Shane's parents, Theodore Bancroft and Patricia Emida.Shane turned stiffly to face them, forcing a smile."Father, Mother, what brings you here?" he asked, signaling with his hand for Melanie to quietly slip away.Melanie ignored his gesture, rolling her eyes as if she hadn’t seen it."With something this serious happening, how could I not come?" Theodore scoffed, walking over to sit on the sofa.Immediately, someone brought him a cup of coffee, which he sipped lightly before setting it down.Upon seeing Shane’s face, Patricia gasped in shock."Shane, what happened to your face and those injur

'How could an ordinary girl be worthy of Shane? No, I absolutely disagreed!'"Move aside." Patricia pushed Shane away and stood in front of Melanie, expecting her to be terrified and plead for mercy.Unexpectedly, Melanie met her gaze steadily, exuding an air of righteous defiance. "Mrs. Bancroft, instead of arguing with me, you should be thinking of ways to save them. Wasting time is wasting a life."Melanie had nearly called her an executioner. Patricia detected the underlying accusation in her words, driving her to the edge."What exactly is your relationship with my son?" Patricia demanded harshly."Him?" Melanie glanced disdainfully at Shane and replied unhurriedly, "An enemy."Patricia's eyes widened. "What?!"She turned to Shane and asked, "This girl—does she have anything to do with you?"To Shane’s surprise, he felt a strange satisfaction when Melanie called him her enemy. No one had ever dared speak to Patricia in such a way before. Melanie truly was fearless."Her?"
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 727
Patricia stormed out of the room, casting a withering glance at Melanie as she left. Her parting words were a chilling warning. "You'd better behave yourself and not cause any trouble, or I’ll make you regret ever being born."She had spent half her life dealing with people, encountering all walks of life. Someone as naive as Melanie barely registered on her radar.Melanie was well aware of Patricia’s capabilities—if she said she could do something, she meant it. With her father still waiting to be rescued, Melanie didn't want to escalate the tension and obediently kept silent.Patricia snorted coldly."Smart choice," she said, then swept out the door.Rescuing someone from the collapsed mine was not a task that could be accomplished overnight. The complex situation at the bottom of the mine required painstaking efforts to clear the debris bit by bit.Melanie was restless, unsure if her father could hold on much longer. After staying awake for a day and battling wits with Shane,

A moment ago, Melanie had confidently asserted that she wouldn't fall asleep, yet there she was, deeply slumbering.Shane reached out his hand, intending to wake Melanie, but froze mid-air.Melanie was not sleeping soundly. Her sleep was restless, her fists clenched tightly, her expression contorted in pain as if haunted by a nightmare."Dad, don’t leave me… Please…" Melanie whimpered softly, her pitiful state tugging at his heartstrings.Shane's outstretched hand hung in the air, immobile. For reasons he couldn’t comprehend, seeing her like this filled him with a strange sorrow.An absurd thought surfaced in his mind, a fleeting notion that he immediately quashed. 'I like Melanie? Impossible!'He chuckled at himself, incredulous. What kind of woman hadn’t he seen? And yet, he was considering someone like Melanie? Had he lost his mind?To prove himself wrong, he let his hovering hand drop heavily onto Melanie's shoulder. "Hey, wake up."Melanie, already a light sleeper, jolted

Shane glared at the security guards, dismissing them with a wave of his hand.Obeying the command, the security guards retreated to the side.Melanie quickly headed outside. With no news for so long, she couldn't wait any longer.She ran all the way to the accident site, and the scene before her nearly caused her to break down. She had assumed that Shane had already arranged for a rescue operation, but after most of the day had passed, there was no sign of any rescue efforts on the construction site.The machines that should have been working were all idle, and there were no rescuers present."What is going on?" Melanie screamed, turning back to leer at Shane with a fierce expression. "Shane, how dare you lie to me?"She lunged forward, attempting to hit Shane, but the security guards blocked her.Shane was equally stunned. He had clearly ordered a rescue—how could the scene be like this?Melanie's curses and sobs made him irritable. He tossed away his cigarette and kicked the

As they conversed, a shrill voice suddenly pierced the air. "Melanie! How dare you cause a scene here? Are you trying to embarrass us even more? Come home with me this instant!"Melanie turned around, her expression shifting from surprise to a deep, visible irritation. Her brows furrowed as she faced her spiteful stepmother, the last person she expected to see here."What are you doing here?" Melanie asked, her tone cold and indifferent.With one hand on her hip and the other jabbing an accusatory finger at Melanie’s face, Rebecca snapped, "What else can you do besides cause trouble? Do you even realize where you are? How dare you create such a scene here?"After her tirade, Rebecca’s face abruptly morphed into an obsequious smile as she turned to Shane. "My apologies, Mr. Bancroft. I’ll take her away immediately. I promise she won’t trouble you any further."Rebecca reached out to grab Melanie’s wrist, but Melanie dodged, glaring at her. "What do you mean by this, Ms. Gibbon?"A

Melanie walked ahead, completely unaware that Rebecca was about to strike her from behind.As the stick neared her head, a large hand appeared out of nowhere, intercepting Rebecca's blow."Hey, who are you?!" Rebecca demanded.The stick was firmly held by the stranger, and despite her efforts, she couldn’t budge it. Panicking over the promised money, she yanked hard, only for him to let go deliberately, causing her to fall backward into the mud.With a loud cry, Rebecca landed in a puddle, her body covered in black mud, looking utterly ridiculous."You bastard! Who do you think you are? You think you can get away with this? I'll sue you for every penny you've got!" she shrieked.Her curses fell on deaf ears as the man ignored her, treating her like she didn’t exist.Rebecca, like a clown, was completely disregarded."Owen?" Melanie was surprised to see Owen suddenly appear. His presence brought her an incomparable sense of relief and strength.With Owen here, Jade must be near

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
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
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 770
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
