All Chapters of The Supreme Heiress: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The reporters were sharp-tongued, and every question hit a sore spot in Gemma. It was something she didn't want to face but had to.Gemma panicked, helplessly watching as everyone pointed fingers at her, vehemently denying it all. "It's pure nonsense. Regardless of whether Jade is my biological daughter or not, I raised her. A marriage alliance with the Fitzgeralds would only benefit the Severins. What reason could I have to do such a thing? If you keep spreading rumors, I'll sue you."After a brief moment of panic, Gemma got her bearings. Even though Neve had been caught red-handed, Gemma would still try to spin the situation in her favor."Even if Neve added something to the drinks, who can find proof that it was an aphrodisiac?"It had to be said that Gemma was eloquent, and the reporters were all left stupefied by her words."Proof? Are you talking about this?" Caelan, who had been coldly watching Gemma's theatrics, finally spoke up.He opened his palm, revealing a bottle. "I

Caelan didn't look good. Melvin's statement hadn't diffused the situation. On the contrary, it had made it even more tense. He had not wanted to witness this scandal today."Escort the guests out," Caelan said coldly.Samuel gestured to the journalists to leave, then led them to the hotel lobby. The journalists were anxious, unable to guess what Caelan was thinking. Should they publish this sensational scandal or not?"What did Mr. Fitzgerald mean, Mr. Ritson?" someone dared to ask.Samuel clasped his hands with a polite smile on his face. "This is a Severin affair. What does it have to do with Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald?"The implication was that since Melvin had already asked for a divorce from Gemma, they had distanced themselves. No matter how the reporters wrote about the story, it wouldn't affect the Fitzgeralds or Jade. As for Gemma and Neve, they were no longer the Fitzgeralds’ concern."Oh, now that you put it that way, I understand completely, Mr. Ritson." The journalists

"What do you mean?" Melvin felt a bit panicked upon seeing Gemma's confident demeanor.He had lived with her for over 20 years, so they both knew each other's secrets quite well. Gemma's tone just now had clearly been threatening."I mean exactly what I said." Gemma smirked sinisterly. "Don't think I don't know about all the dirty things you've done. Over the years, you've evaded paying taxes, used company funds for high-interest loans, and bribed officials. I've kept a record of everything.""You wretched woman, how dare you scheme against me?!" Melvin lost control and moved to hit Gemma, but she unexpectedly retaliated with a slap."I said what needed to be said. If I don't get what I want, Melvin, you won't have it easy either. Once I hand over that evidence to the authorities, you'll be in deep trouble." Gemma shoved past Melvin and strode out after making this threat.As she left, she saw Jade and stopped. "I never thought I'd fall into the hands of a lowly creature like you.

"Great, here's what’s happened. Mr. Melvin has been in a car accident and is currently undergoing emergency treatment. We need a family member to come to the hospital to sign for the surgery," the person on the other end said assertively.Melvin had been in a car accident? Jade's eyes widened. He had been perfectly fine when he had left just now. How had things taken a turn for the worse so suddenly?"How is he? Is his condition critical?" Jade asked.The other person seemed to have no time to talk further and sounded rather anxious. "Yes, the patient is already unconscious and needs immediate surgery. Please come as soon as possible."Upon saying that, they hung up.Jade held her phone, feeling a bit overwhelmed for a moment. Two seconds later, she got out of bed, grabbed her coat, and hurried outside.As she descended the stairs, she kept dialing Melvin's phone, but it was still switched off.Upon getting downstairs, she saw Brianna and stopped her in her tracks. "Brianna, I n

Jade understood now. She slowly rubbed the steering wheel and continued to question Winston through the car window. "Gemma's scheme is really vicious. She led me away to make it easier to target Grandma. It's like killing two birds with one stone."Winston didn't notice Jade's different expression at all. He was immersed in his fantasy of becoming wealthy. "That's none of your concern, Ms. Jade. Let's get going."He raised the stone to smash the car window with it, but the car suddenly lurched backward. Winston missed, and the stone fell to the ground. He stared at Jade in shock. "How is this possible? How can you drive?"Jade hadn't learned to drive in this life, so Winston had assumed she wouldn't be able to escape. How could he have known that Jade had died once before?While he was still in shock, Jade stepped on the gas and rushed toward him. With a bang, Winston was sent flying before crashing heavily to the ground, rendered unable to get up again.Jade opened the car door a
