Leah glanced at Neve, who was crying, and sighed repeatedly. If it hadn't been for Gemma's involvement, Neve would have been a good child."Will you really study hard?" Leah asked, sounding skeptical.Neve straightened up and nodded firmly. "Grandma, I really know I was wrong. In the future, I will definitely get along with Jade. You will see if I behave well."Leah looked at Jade, feeling troubled, and asked tentatively, "Jade, what do you think?""If Neve is willing to change, you might as well give her a chance, Grandma." Jade could only agree.In fact, from the moment Leah had asked Jade, Leah had already forgiven Neve. After all, Neve was the flesh and blood of the Severins. It was impossible to break all ties with her. If Jade opposed her again, it would definitely displease Leah.Sure enough, a smile appeared on Leah's face. "I'm getting old, so I don't have many years left. My biggest wish is for the family to be harmonious and loving. It would make me very happy."Jacob
Leah ultimately cared deeply for her eldest grandson. The marketing department was a good assignment that could also provide valuable experience for a newcomer like Jacob. Most importantly, outsiders would give Jacob some face out of respect for Leah, so he wouldn't be in too difficult a situation.However, Jacob didn't appreciate Leah's intentions. He looked at Jade with dissatisfaction and said sarcastically, "Jade, Grandma can make her own decisions. Isn't it a bit too much for you to interfere like this?"Jacob had thought that once he returned to the country, the company would immediately fall into his hands. Then, he would have plenty of funds to help Gemma. Even if she couldn't be released, he could at least make her life in prison a bit easier.Unfortunately, what Jade had said disrupted all his plans. As he looked at Jade now, he was secretly surprised. Jade had grown not only physically, but also mentally. Could she be thinking of competing with them over the family inheri
The nun told her that there had been a big fire at the orphanage in the past that had burned all the children's records, and Madam Gooding had gone missing on that day too.Jade looked at the dilapidated welfare home, feeling a mix of emotions. She felt that she should do something for the children there.Upon returning home, she wrote a check and had Mark deliver it to the welfare home.A few days later, the verdict for Gemma came, differing slightly from Jade's expectations. It was a death sentence, but with a one-year suspension.Jade was somewhat discontented upon hearing the news. It was supposed to be a done deal, so how had it turned into a suspended death sentence?"Master, can you help me find out why Gemma's sentence was changed to a suspended death sentence?" Given the crimes Gemma had committed, the death penalty should have been inevitable. The sudden change to a suspended death sentence must have been due to some powerful interference.Without hesitation, Owen quick
"Thank you, Grandpa." Jade expressed her gratitude sincerely.Kennedy smacked his lips, looking smug. "If you want to thank me, you'll have to show some sincerity."Oh, Kennedy was craving her cooking again. Jade naturally understood and smiled. "Got it. I'll make whatever you want today, Grandpa.""Haha, clever girl. My granddaughter-in-law knows me so well!" Kennedy exclaimed happily. "Make your best fish dish.""Sure thing, Grandpa." Jade agreed readily.The ingredients were ready, so Jade took them out of the fridge and started cooking.Kennedy watched her bustling around in the kitchen, feeling even more delighted as he watched. A clever and smart girl like Jade was a great match for Caelan. It was a pity that the silly boy didn't appreciate her."Give Caelan a call and tell him to come back to eat," Kennedy instructed Albert.Albert complied and promptly called Caelan. As expected, Caelan cut the call off.Kennedy was about to call him back when he saw Jade in the kitche
Giselle gritted her teeth when she saw what Jade was holding, her smile immediately turning into a scowl. "Are you following me?""Following you?" Jade chuckled sarcastically. "Do you suffer from paranoia?""Then why did you suddenly come to deliver food to Caelan? Don't tell me that Mr. Kennedy specifically ordered it." Giselle didn't believe Jade's words. There was no such thing as a coincidence. She had come to deliver food to Caelan, and Jade had happened to do the same. It was obvious that Jade was blocking her way.Jade, who found Giselle's rage amusing, snapped her fingers at her. "You're absolutely right. Grandpa did ask me to bring the lunchbox. You wouldn't be here to deliver food to my fiancé too, would you?"Her status as a fiancée gave Jade confidence. Giselle, on the other hand, had no standing or status to come and deliver food to Caelan.Seeing that Giselle was flustered, Jade pretended to be surprised. "Ms. Withrow, could you possibly want to become a home-wrecker
Byron could have done Giselle a favor just now and accepted her lunchbox. Instead, not only had he not taken it, but he had also indirectly insulted Giselle. Naturally, Giselle's anger would be directed at Jade.Byron's intentions were truly unfathomable.The elevator doors opened, and Jade stepped out. Caelan's office was on the top floor of the entire building, and this entire floor belonged exclusively to him. Without his permission, no one could come up."Ms. Severin, Mr. Fitzgerald is waiting for you inside," Samuel said, leading Jade to Caelan's office and stopping at his door.The dark doors felt imposing. Before Jade even got close, her heart began pounding. She could stay composed in front of anyone except Caelan. She took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down before knocking on the door."Come in." A curt reply came from inside.Jade pushed the door open and entered slowly. Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she saw Caelan's o
Earlier, Jade had been too busy cooking at Kennedy's place to find the time to eat."You haven't eaten?" Caelan asked.Jade nodded in embarrassment.Caelan got up from his desk and took the lunchbox to the coffee table, saying, "Let's eat together."Jade was pleasantly surprised but refused automatically. "No, thanks, I..."Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Caelan's cold gaze shooting over, so she quickly closed her mouth and sat down on the sofa.The lunchbox was large enough to feed three people. Jade didn't dare trouble Caelan, so she opened the lunchbox, took out the dishes, and served them in front of him.Baked fish, broccoli, mushroom and chicken, and a salad—all dishes that Caelan liked. He looked at the food with the same expression and began eating. Jade knew the dishes suited his taste, or he wouldn't have bothered eating.Caelan was always taciturn, and Jade was nervous, as she did not know what to say to him. The meal was eaten in silence, and thankfull
Upon hearing the news, Jade couldn't help but widen her eyes. Kennedy sure was ruthless. The Frasers’ attempt to rescue Gemma had ended up backfiring, and now it would be even harder for them to turn things around in the future. The Frasers were completely finished this time.In the meeting room, Jade and Gemma faced each other across the table. Compared to last time, Gemma looked even more haggard and destitute. Due to her disfigurement, she had been bullied in prison, and there were bruises all over her face and body.Still, upon seeing Jade, Gemma became as manic as if she had been injected with adrenaline. "You b*stard, you must have expected that I would be sentenced to death, huh? Let me tell you something. It's not that easy to get rid of me."She still didn't realize that her escape route had been cut off by Jade, so she was fantasizing about getting out and seeking revenge on Jade.Jade sat calmly in her chair with a mocking smirk. "Oh, really? Well then, congratulations.
