The Supreme Heiress Chapter 741
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

The doctor had barely left when Rebecca dared to appear. While watching Melanie curled up on the chair, Rebecca's eyes shifted. A fake smile spread across her face as she sat beside her.In a voice dripping with false kindness, she said, "Melanie, dear, I know you're a filial daughter, but you must consider the situation. Your father needs a lot of money now and will need even more in the future. You should try to understand our situation and help out a bit, don't you think?"Hearing Rebecca's voice made Melanie's stomach churn. This stepmother of hers was selfish, greedy, and malicious. If it hadn't been for Rebecca's mistreatment, John's health wouldn't have deteriorated like this.Clenching her fists inside her sleeves, Melanie struggled to contain her anger. She replied coldly, "I haven't asked for a single penny from the family all these years. On the contrary, I send money home every month. Meanwhile, you do nothing but play cards or loaf around. When you're out of money, you

Rebecca was resolute about not leaving. She sprawled on the ground, rolling, wailing, and hurling accusations at Melanie with the harshest words she could muster. "I've raised you for so many years. Even if I haven't done much, I've still toiled! How could you treat me like this, you ungrateful girl? Let everyone judge this! Oh, it's truly hard being a stepmother!"Melanie watched her coldly, unimpressed by Rebecca's ability to distort the truth."Say whatever you like. Fairness resides in people's hearts."Just then, several police officers pushed through the crowd."Who called us?" one of them asked.Rebecca was stunned by their arrival. She had assumed Melanie was merely bluffing and hadn't expected her to actually call the police. Trembling, she scrambled to her feet, her limbs weak with fear. If Melanie accused her of attempted murder, she would have no way out."I did." Melanie stepped forward, addressing the officers, "I want to report her for attempted murder."Rebecca h

"Big gift?" Melanie asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"She was already worried sick about her father’s medical expenses and had no time to play guessing games with Jade.Patricia, smiling kindly, stepped forward. "Melanie, there have been misunderstandings between us in the past. It was all my fault. I owe you an apology."Melanie looked at Patricia in shock, thinking she must have lost her mind. This was the same woman who had previously looked like she wanted to tear her apart. How had she changed her tune so quickly?"Yes, yes, I was also in the wrong. I didn’t teach my son properly," Theodore added and glanced at Shane, who was scowling nearby. "Ungrateful boy, apologize to your sister right now.""Sister?!" Melanie felt like she was dreaming. It was strange enough that Patricia was acting out of character, but even Theodore was behaving as though he had been hit on the head."Wait, wait." Melanie hastily waved her hands to interrupt them, forcing an awkward smile as she

Melanie raised an eyebrow and smiled, her usual cheekiness returning as she spoke to Jade. "Of course, I agree. Where else would I find such a good deal? Jade, you really did me a big favor."Not only did she manage to escape Shane's entanglements, but she also resolved her family's issues. It felt as if a great weight had been lifted off Melanie's shoulders—she had never felt so relaxed."Jade, you're practically my lucky star," Melanie said, planting a playful kiss on Jade's cheek and grinning widely at her.Jade pretended to be annoyed and pushed her away, laughing and scolding, "Go away! Where do you think you're kissing?"As the two of them chatted and laughed, Patricia finally felt at ease. From Melanie's demeanor, it was clear she had agreed. As long as she was willing to acknowledge her as her godmother, no amount of money spent would be too much."Mom, are you really going to accept Melanie as your goddaughter?" Shane still couldn't understand why his parents were doing t
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 746
Melanie beamed with delight. "Be a good boy!"She had never seen Shane so humiliated before—it was exhilarating. All the frustration she had harbored from his previous bullying finally found an outlet."Can I leave now?" Shane grumbled at Theodore.Theodore glanced at Melanie, and seeing no objection, he nodded and waved dismissively. "Go on. Get out of here."Shane snorted heavily and strode out of the hospital.Patricia gently clasped Melanie’s small hand, tenderly stroking her hair. "If you ever need anything, just come to me. From today, you are like my own daughter. I will take good care of you."The unexpected warmth left Melanie at a loss. Her mother had passed away when she was young, and after Rebecca came into her life, she had experienced even less maternal affection. The feeling Patricia gave her was like a ray of sunshine warming her entire being, making her never want to leave.'Is this what having a mother feels like?'Desperately yearning for love, Melanie insti
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 747
With the matter involving Melanie resolved, Jade finally felt at ease. Melanie had become the Bancrofts' goddaughter, forever severing any possible connection between her and Shane. Could this turn of events signify a rewritten chapter in life for her?"Melanie, I have some good news for you." Taking advantage of Melanie's cheerful mood, Jade handed her a folder, her gaze urging her to open it. Melanie, puzzled, accepted the folder. "What’s this? Why all the mystery?"Opening the folder, Melanie was stunned. Inside were her lost drafts, every single one intact and in perfect condition. Tears welled up in her eyes—these drafts represented her dreams, dreams she thought were shattered. Yet, there they were, miraculously restored."Jade, you..." Melanie’s voice broke off as she choked up, clutching Jade tightly, too overwhelmed to speak.Jade hugged her just as tightly, filled with a myriad of emotions. 'Melanie, I finally succeeded.'...A few days later, the film company sent

At that hour, it was surprising to still see someone around.Jade looked toward the source of the sound, her eyes landing on a Range Rover parked not far away. A man stood by the door, waving at her."It's you." Jade raised an eyebrow in mild surprise, not expecting to encounter Orion there. Their previous brief meeting hadn't suggested they'd run into each other again so soon.What puzzled Jade was why he was there. Was it intentional, or merely a coincidence?Orion gestured toward her car with his chin, smiling as he asked, "It seems your car has some trouble. Do you need a ride?"The parking lot was deserted. Leaving from here would mean taking the elevator back to the main building, which was quite a hassle.Not wanting to waste time and curious about Orion's intentions, Jade smiled and said, "Thank you, I'd appreciate it."Orion opened the car door with a gentlemanly gesture. "At your service, miss."His humor and charm would likely endear him to many girls, but Jade was a

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
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 775
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 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
