Chapter 681

200,000 dollars might not seem like much to an adult, but for a student, it’s a substantial amount. It was enough to cover university expenses, and with frugality, one could even graduate without worrying about money.Jade's offer had truly sparked everyone's motivation. Who wouldn't want that 200,000 dollars? Especially when a single clue was worth 10,000 dollars. Jeremiah was standing outside, trembling with anger and pointing at the door repeatedly. "Jade, what do you think you’re doing? If everyone acted like you, what rules would we have left?"Jade glanced at him coolly and replied, "As long as it helps Melanie retrieve her drafts, I’d offer more than 200,000 dollars. As for the rules, if I’ve indeed violated them, then let the punishment fall on me alone."With those words, she walked away with an air of confidence.While watching her retreating figure, Jeremiah's eyes widened in fury. "W-What kind of attitude is that? I'm the dean; can’t I even say a few words to her?"T

"Who would be shameless enough to steal Melanie's drafts? If I find out who did it, I'll make sure they regret it!" Jade fumed.The loss of Melanie’s design sketches felt worse than losing a limb. Jade was overwhelmed with heartache and hadn't dared to inform Melanie, fearing how she would take the news.Noticing Jade’s distress, Julian felt an unspoken heaviness in his chest. He feigned a light-hearted demeanor, patting his chest as he reassured Jade, "Don't worry. I'll find a way to get Melanie's drafts back."Jade cast a weary glance at him. "And how exactly do you plan to do that?"Her words deflated Julian's confidence, leaving him unable to offer a viable solution.As Jade walked on, Julian trailed behind, shamelessly asking, "Jade, where are you heading?""To the hospital," she replied curtly.They had been back at Clotheap University long enough for Melanie to start suspecting something. Rather than let her imagination run wild, Jade decided it was better to come clean.

Julian had never been the kind to show sympathy, even if the other party was a stunning beauty. "A simple 'sorry' doesn't cut it. Do you realize how dangerous that was? You nearly caused an accident!" He banged on the car door relentlessly. "Stop talking and get out here to apologize."Jade was equally furious. This wasn't a proper apology. If she were truly sorry, she would have gotten out of the car already. What kind of apology was it to hide inside?Under the mounting pressure from both Jade and Julian, the driver finally pushed the car door open and slowly stepped out. As soon as she emerged, Jade and Julian were left dumbfounded. The woman wore a loose dress that concealed her figure, but once she got out, her rounded belly became obvious. She was pregnant.Recalling how aggressively they had both pressured her, Jade felt a burning shame. She had been harassing a pregnant woman for an apology. "I'm sorry, I..." The woman, protective of her belly, looked at them cauti

Tiffany placed the freshly cut apple into Melanie's hand, her eyes crinkling in a reassuring smile. "What's the rush? When has Jade ever let you down? Just focus on taking care of yourself and rest your head.""Oh," Melanie replied, nodding absently as she took small bites of the fruit. A persistent throbbing in her temples and a wave of dizziness left her visibly uncomfortable.Just then, Jade walked in, juggling several bags filled with nutritional supplements."Melanie, I’m back," she announced cheerfully.Melanie's face lit up as she set down the fruit. "Jade, you're finally here! Did you bring my drafts?"Jade's smile faltered as she approached Melanie with a hesitant expression. "Melanie, I’m so sorry. I couldn’t find your drafts. They might be lost.""Lost?" Melanie's face turned a shade paler, though she forced a smile. "How could they be lost? I clearly saw you place them on the table.""I’m really sorry. I even checked the university's surveillance, but, unfortunately,

Jade noticed the sudden change in Tiffany’s expression and felt a pang of anxiety."What's wrong? Tell me slowly," she urged."I just received a message from my assistant, Hera," Tiffany replied, her voice trembling. "One of the indoor mirrors fell and hit some of the students. A few have minor injuries, but one girl’s face was cut by the shards.""Her face?" Jade’s heart sank. Every woman cherished her appearance, and with a mirror that large falling suddenly, the situation must have been terrifying. A cut on the face could be serious trouble.Tiffany, still a young student with little experience handling crises, was visibly shaken. This was more than she could handle."Yes, and I heard it's quite severe. What should I do, Jade?" Tiffany's voice wavered with panic.Jade took a deep breath, regaining her composure. "We’ll head over there right now and see what’s happening. Panicking won't help anyone."Tiffany nodded quickly, grabbing her bag and phone, ready to leave.Jade sto

"Enough of your nonsense! Who do you think you are to negotiate with me?" The stout woman brusquely brushed aside Hera’s hand, her voice seething with anger. "Get your boss here immediately, or be ready to face a lawsuit.""My boss will be here soon, but can you please let the doctor treat Becky’s wounds first? If we delay any longer, her face might be permanently scarred."Hera was sweating profusely. Becky had already been taken to Centus Hospital, but this woman was refusing treatment, insisting she wouldn’t stop causing a scene until Tiffany showed up in person.A doctor, frustrated by the commotion at the entrance, stepped out and said sternly, "This is a hospital, not a place for arguments. If you have issues, resolve them peacefully, but don’t disturb my patients. This girl’s wounds are deep. If not treated immediately, the consequences will be on you."His words were directed at the woman, who remained unfazed, letting out a cold snort. "If there are consequences, the dance

The middle-aged woman's harsh words grated on even the mild-tempered ears of Hera. But knowing she couldn’t afford to provoke this woman, she leaned closer to Jade and whispered, "Miss Severin, be cautious. This woman is notoriously difficult."Jade nodded slightly. She had deliberately delayed her appearance to gauge what kind of person the victim’s family was. There are ways to reason with reasonable people and different ways to deal with those who are not.The woman before her clearly fell into the latter category, so there was no need for Jade to be courteous. She produced a business card and handed it to the woman. "Here’s my card. Please review it. As for the compensation, just name your price, and we will comply."The woman's eyes lit up at the mention of money as if she had seen a mountain of gold. She thought for a moment, then held up five fingers. "I want this amount—500,000 dollars."After saying that, she sneaked a glance at Jade, feeling a bit nervous and unsure if th

"Miss Jade, about the compensation..." Rita regretted asking for too little and was about to discuss a higher amount with Jade when Jade’s phone rang. She motioned for Rita to sit down, then took the call outside.The door closed with a thud, leaving Rita alone in the spacious and bright office. Her heart skipped a beat. Could Jade be planning to run? But looking around at the high-end decor, she dismissed the idea as impossible.She had downed a pot of coffee, yet Jade hadn't returned.Rita started to feel restless. What kind of phone call lasted half an hour?Rising to her feet, she stepped outside to check if Jade was still there. To her surprise, two tall, burly security guards were standing by the door. Politely, they guided her back inside."Apologies, Miss Severin asked you to wait here."Although puzzled, Rita reasoned that Jade might have some important business to attend to and didn't mind too much.Someone came in with another pot of coffee, the same high quality as b

When Jade returned to the office, Rita greeted her with the relief of someone seeing a savior. She let out a long sigh and said, "Oh, Miss Jade, you’re finally back. If you didn’t come, I was going to wet myself…"She abruptly shut her mouth, glancing awkwardly at Jade, who had a light smile on her face. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Rita stammered, "S-So, can I get the 500,000 now?"Rita’s eyes gleamed with greed as she stared at Jade, almost ready to snatch the money from her hands.Jade took a seat on the sofa opposite her.Julian stood beside Jade, handing over a document with a feigned seriousness. "Miss Severin, according to the doctor, although Becky’s facial injuries are severe, the likelihood of scarring is minimal with proper treatment. I’ve totaled all the expenses, and it comes to around 100,000 dollars."Julian’s words left Rita stunned. She screamed, "What? Only 100,000 dollars? Didn’t you promise me 500,000 dollars?!""Ms. Despp, you can’t say it like that," Julian sa

If Jade didn't give in, Rita would make a huge fuss. 'These rich folks are terrified of lawsuits, but someone with nothing to lose doesn’t have to fear those who do.'With this in mind, Rita stiffened her resolve and began to wail as she made her way out.Jade and Julian stood in place, watching her performance.Rita, puzzled by Jade’s lack of reaction, was caught off guard when she heard voices outside the door."Officers, the person you’re looking for is inside. Please come in," a voice said as the door opened.Two police officers, escorted by a security guard, entered the room.Upon seeing the police, Rita instinctively tried to run, but her legs were too weak from fear to move."Are you Margarita Despp?" one of the officers asked sternly.Rita nodded dumbly. Before the police could question her further, she blurted out, "I didn’t mean to hurt anyone. I just wanted to scare my daughter. Who knew the mirror was so flimsy? It fell at the slightest touch."As she finished spea
