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.

    Gemma was completely done for. She could no longer threaten Jade's life.Jade stood under the sunlight, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling the beauty of being alive for the first time in her life. She stretched out her arms, as if trying to embrace the vast expanse of the world.Across the street, Jacob looked at Jade icily, his hands on the steering wheel tightening. It was because of her that Gemma would spend her whole life in prison and Severin Group still wasn't in his hands. He really didn't understand why Jade was so ruthless. She hated Gemma so much that she wanted her to suffer a fate worse than death."Jacob, what are you waiting for? Run her over," Neve said from the passenger seat, her gaze on Jade as fierce as a tiger's. If murder wasn't illegal, she’d have hundreds of ways to kill Jade.Jacob glanced coldly at Neve and said disdainfully, "Now, I finally understand why you and Mom lost to her.""What do you mean?" Neve yelled angrily."You keep acting w

    He readily agreed. "Okay, you can pick any place you like. I'll take care of it for you.""Thank you, Grandpa." Jade didn't dare disobey Kennedy, afraid he might come up with something she couldn't accept. "I don't have any other requests. I only want the place to be close to the hospital and Clotheap University.""Okay, I'll update you soon," Kennedy said.Ten minutes later, Kennedy called again. "It’s all set. You can move in now."Jade really admired Kennedy's efficiency. She had just put down her phone, yet he had already taken care of everything. It was good to be rich.The house Kennedy had found for Jade was only a ten-minute drive from the hospital and 15 minutes from Clotheap University, which was perfect. But when Jade moved in, she realized that Kennedy hadn't just found her a house—he had clearly bought her a villa. A spacious villa with a swimming pool."Ms. Severin, this is from Madam Leah and Mr. Kennedy," Samuel explained to Jade as he helped her move in. "Your na

    After Jade set down the snacks, she hurriedly left, not even daring to look back.The next day, Jade woke up early and, after getting ready, she subconsciously looked at Caelan's door. The box of cookies she had left there was gone.She feared she might be overthinking it. She glanced at the nearby trash can but didn't see any trace of the cookies being thrown away. If they hadn't been thrown away, then he must have eaten them.Jade felt happy that he had acknowledged her.Ten minutes later, Jade stood in front of Centus Hospital. The majestic building towered into the sky, overshadowing the surrounding buildings. Being able to stand here was a huge honor.As she looked at the building complex in front of her, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.If she hadn't been so stupid in her previous life, Caelan wouldn't have almost lost his life because of her. She’d had a lot to do with Giselle's collusion with Neve and Lloyd's affair with Neve.This time, she would protect Caelan

    Jade found the nurses' station, and her arrival left several nurses dumbfounded. Who would have thought that Caelan's fiancée would come to such a place? The head nurse, Nancy Ingham, was so flustered that she even gave up her seat to Jade.Jade wanted to get along with everyone, but nobody dared to speak to her, let alone ask her to work. She knew they were wary of her status, so she didn't insist and just focused on her own tasks.Half an hour later, many patients flooded into the hospital entrance."Quick, quick, go out and save some people! There's been a multiple-car accident, and the injured have been brought to our hospital," Nancy said, ordering all the nurses to rush out. Jade stood up too, but Nancy anxiously told her, "Ms. Severin, just stay here. Leave it to us."Nancy rushed off after saying that."Help, please save my husband! Is anyone here?" a middle-aged woman who was covered in blood stood helplessly in the lobby, calling for help. Beside her lay a man covered in

    Giselle was decked out in designer labels, sporting big wavy hair and carrying a luxury handbag. It didn't look like she was there to work. She seemed more like she was about to strut down a runway. Her appearance immediately drew everyone's attention, as such beauties were rare in this hospital.Jade knew that Giselle wanted to embarrass her in front of everyone."Ms. Severin, do you realize that people's lives are at stake here? As an intern who doesn't know anything, how can you boast about performing surgery? If something goes wrong, will you take responsibility?""Of course I'll take responsibility. Only I could take responsibility," Jade replied confidently. "I have the qualifications and the ability to do the surgery."Giselle, who wasn't annoyed, chuckled. "Okay then. Since you're taking responsibility, sign this agreement. If anything goes wrong, you'll be solely responsible, and the hospital won't be held accountable."Giselle thought that Jade was done for. Did she thin

    The door swung open and a weary Jade emerged. Seeing this, Stella hurried over, asking, "Doctor, how did the surgery go?"Giselle appeared confident as she muttered under her breath with a smile, "How could it have gone? The outcome is obvious. Just prepare for the worst."Her voice wasn't loud but it carried enough for everyone to hear.Jade's icy gaze locked on her, startling Giselle, who instinctively moved her mocking gaze to something else in the distance, but her ears were tuned in to Jade's words.The nurses also looked anxious, their hands clasped over their chests as they gazed at Jade. Jade's gaze swept over everyone's faces before settling on Stella. She smiled and said, "The surgery was successful. The patient is out of danger."Giselle, who had been prepared to put Jade down, was shocked upon hearing her words, her mouth gaping open. Not only had Jade not failed, but she had also successfully saved the patient's life.My goodness, this was insane! An 18-year-old girl

    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.

    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

    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
