The Supreme Heiress Chapter 734
Faced with no alternative, Theodore had no choice but to comply, feeling as if he were being pushed into a corner."What’s the matter, Mr. Bancroft?" Owen asked politely. "If it’s a financial issue, please don’t hesitate to speak up. The Fitzgerald Group won’t stand by and do nothing. Before I came, Miss Severin and Mr. Fitzgerald explicitly told me that if the Bancroft family needs help, the Fitzgerald Group will be there without question."Owen's grand declaration made it seem like the Bancroft family was on the brink of bankruptcy and seeking assistance from the Fitzgerald Group.Theodore’s face darkened, his throat constricting with emotion, yet he couldn't utter a single word. Although the Bancrofts weren't as powerful as the Fitzgeralds, they had been established in Centus for a long time and had considerable financial strength. To imply that the Bancrofts were facing financial difficulties was a stain on his reputation.Melanie stared at Owen in astonishment. Normally reserv

Under the Fitzgerald Group's pressure, Theodore finally relented after much deliberation."I want to speak with Mr. Fitzgerald in person."His request was promptly denied by Owen. "I’m sorry, but Mr. Fitzgerald is very busy and doesn’t have time to meet with you."The Fitzgeralds had cut off all of Theodore’s escape routes, leaving him only two choices: comply with the Fitzgerald Group or face bankruptcy.Taking a deep breath, Theodore asked Owen, "What exactly do you want from me?"His willingness to bow down showed he recognized the severity of the Fitzgeralds' influence. Owen replied with a serious expression, "Begin the rescue operation and save the trapped workers.""Is it really worth making such a big fuss over those few workers?" Theodore squinted, his gaze sharp and ruthless.This conflict with the Fitzgeralds was now inevitable—he was determined to retaliate given the chance."Of course, it’s worth it." A crisp voice suddenly interrupted, startling Theodore. He turn

Jade's meaning was crystal clear: if Shane bullied Melanie again, she would make him pay.This time, targeting the Bancroft family was precisely because of this.Jade's gaze was icy, sharp as a blade, sending chills down his spine."I didn't bully her! On the contrary, she bullied me! Look at these injuries!" Shane revealed the wounds on his body to Jade, trying to prove he wasn’t lying.Theodore's face turned livid with anger, cursing himself inwardly for raising such a useless son.Melanie scoffed, retorting, "I don't provoke unless provoked. Shane, if you hadn't messed with me, would I have hit you?"Jade pulled Melanie back. "Now's not the time for this. The most important thing is to save lives."Melanie nodded, positioning herself behind Jade.Jade turned to Theodore and asked, "Mr. Bancroft, can we proceed with the rescue now?"Theodore’s expression was stony, his teeth gritting. "The Bancroft family never said we wouldn't rescue anyone. It's just that the underground s

Jade gave Melanie a faint, confident smile. She never engaged in anything she wasn't sure of. This time, she would see how thoroughly she could humiliate Theodore.Melanie was still worried. Experts had stated that the underground situation was complicated. How could an outsider like Jade be so certain she could rescue her father unharmed?Everyone followed behind Jade, curiosity evident on their faces. They were eager to see how she would manage the rescue. Could a young woman really have such remarkable abilities?Upon arriving at the scene, all the personnel were already in place, awaiting the order to commence the rescue.A bespectacled worker approached Jade. "Miss Severin, based on our observations, although the underground conditions are complex, the structure is quite stable. The collapse occurred in a dead corner, forming a narrow space inside..."The technical jargon made Melanie's head spin. She interrupted anxiously, "Excuse me, but I just want to know if my father is

The overwhelming emotions suffocating Shane left him gasping for air. He picked up a cigarette, lit it, and took a slow drag.Theodore watched him, eyes wide with surprise. Shane rarely smoked, and only when something deeply troubled him did he take a puff.'What is bothering him today? Is it the bet I have with Jade?' But Theodore dismissed this thought quickly. 'Shane is usually carefree and won’t dwell on such things.'If it isn’t about the company, then what could it be?' His gaze fell on Melanie, and his heart skipped a beat. 'Could it be because of that young woman?'He had assumed Shane was just playing around, but seeing him now, Theodore’s expression grew serious.…The rescue continued into the night, and finally, there was good news."They have found them."Those four simple words thundered through the crowd like a bolt of lightning.Melanie’s sinking heart leaped with hope. She rushed towards the scene without hesitation, with Jade hurrying behind her.The site wa

Jade watched Melanie accompany John to the hospital and then turned back to find Theodore. In the office, Theodore wore a defeated expression. He had hoped to slip away quietly amidst the crowd, but Jade had already set people to watch him, blocking both the front and back exits. Unable to escape, he had no choice but to return to the office."Mr. Bancroft, you seem to have something urgent?" Jade sat leisurely across from him, her smile broad and eyes twinkling, while Theodore's brows furrowed tightly.As it turned out, Jade was more capable than he had anticipated. He had thought she was just bluffing, but she had actually managed to achieve her goal. Now he had no choice but to keep his promise and agree to one of Jade's requests.Theodore didn’t beat around the bush. "What exactly do you want me to do? Just say it. As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll do it."If her request was reasonable, he would comply, but anything beyond his capability was out of his control.Theodor

Despite getting an undeserved benefit, Theodore felt his chest tighten with frustration, almost causing him to cough up blood. Jade was clearly using the Fitzgerald family to pressure him."If you have any demands, just state them." Theodore sighed in resignation, his voice weak and defeated. He had already decided that as long as Jade's demands were not too outrageous, he would grit his teeth and part with more money to settle the matter."Actually, what I have in mind is..." Jade paused, her gaze filled with meaning as she looked at Theodore and smiled warmly. "I want to help you fulfill a dream."Theodore was intrigued and unable to contain his curiosity. "Fulfill a dream for me? What do you mean by that?"He was skeptical of Jade’s sudden shift from a wager to fulfilling dreams. Only a fool would believe her at face value. His anxiety grew, unsure of what scheme Jade was plotting, and sweat began to bead on his forehead and trickle down his cheeks."Yes, fulfill a dream for yo

Patricia was contemplating ways to extinguish Shane's infatuation, but Jade's proposal aligned perfectly with her intentions. Becoming the Bancrofts' goddaughter would ensure that Shane gave up his hopes."Mom?" Shane looked at Patricia in astonishment. "Don’t you dislike Melanie? Why would you want to take her in as your goddaughter?"Patricia shot him a look and replied, "Do I have a choice in the matter? Your father lost a bet. It's not just Miss Severin's request. Even if it were more outrageous, we would have to agree. The Bancroft family is a prominent one. We uphold our promises. If we go back on our word, we'll be the laughing stock."Shane was rendered speechless. Patricia's words sounded noble, but only he knew what his parents were truly like. When it came to money, pride was easily discarded. Naturally, he dared not say this out loud and could only grumble inwardly.Realizing he couldn't persuade his mother, Shane turned to Theodore, hoping for his support. "Dad, do y

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

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
