Chapter 761

When Jade arrived, Chenelle was already seated opposite Kennedy, meticulously peeling fruits with the demeanor of an obedient child."Grandpa, have some fruit," Chenelle said, offering a peeled orange to Kennedy with a flattering smile.Kennedy couldn't stand seeing her like this. He always felt her smile was fake, a deliberate act to achieve some ulterior motive. But since she was already there and had done nothing wrong, he couldn't exactly throw her out.Chenelle glanced at Kennedy, noticing his sour expression. She assumed he was troubled by Jade's situation and secretly smiled to herself, though outwardly she displayed a concerned look."Grandpa, I believe there's been a misunderstanding. Jade wouldn't do something like that. The paparazzi must have exaggerated. She was probably just having a meal with a regular friend."Kennedy's hand paused in mid-air as he was about to take the fruit. He glared at Chenelle and couldn't help but reprimand her, "Who told you that was Jade? T

Seeing her calm and unassuming demeanor, Jade felt a wave of nausea.With a serene smile, Jade replied, "Chenelle, you're overthinking it. There's nothing wrong with me, but thank you for your concern.""Really nothing at all?" Chenelle blinked mischievously, feigning innocence. "But I saw the news today. Many netizens claimed the woman dining with Orion was you. I was so shocked. How could Caelan's fiancée be out with another man? Hearing you say this now, I'm relieved.""They must have mistaken me for someone else. Chenelle, don't learn from those bad people who gossip, or you'll leave a bad impression on Grandpa."Playing the innocent act to stir things up? Two could play that game.Using her own tactics against her, Jade watched Chenelle's face turn pale.Feigning grievance, Chenelle pitifully said, "Jade, you've wronged me. I had no other intention but to care for you.""I didn't mean anything either, just speaking casually. Don't take it to heart," Jade remarked indifferen

Jade's calm and rational response astounded Chenelle. Anyone else would have lost their composure by now. They would have either exploded in anger or become a panicked mess.Chenelle had expected Jade to slap her in fury, but instead, she received a mild yet cutting sarcastic remark.Despite its calm appearance, the retort was highly damaging. It was clear to the astute Kennedy that this was all a scene orchestrated by Chenelle."Grandpa, I didn't do it! I really didn't! Please believe me," Chenelle turned to Kennedy for help, crying pitifully. "I rely on my hands for my livelihood. I cherish them more than my life. How could I intentionally burn myself to frame Jade, especially under your watch? I wouldn't dare, Grandpa."Kennedy had seen everything clearly. If Jade hadn't dodged quickly, the scalding coffee would have spilled all over her."Enough!" Kennedy roared, looking at Chenelle with disappointment. "I may be old, but my eyes are still sharp. I saw everything just now. Che

Kennedy listened attentively, nodding as he did so. He instructed a maid to bring some ice for Jade's hand.Jade didn’t refuse and obediently placed the ice on the back of her hand. Although it was only a small splash, the pain was intense."The Caldwell family has always been good to the Fitzgeralds. Years ago, I promised her father I would raise her, but now Chenelle..." Kennedy sighed deeply. "When she was little, Chenelle wasn't like this at all. She was a good, sensible child. Her transformation into who she is today is partly my fault."Jade's eyes widened in surprise. "Grandpa, what do you mean by that?"What could Kennedy have done to change a once obedient and sensible girl so drastically?Kennedy nodded, his expression full of regret."Chenelle was only eight when her father passed away and she came to live with us. Caelan often brought her snacks to cheer her up, and over time, they became close. They played together often, and Chenelle gradually recovered from the gri

From this, it’s evident that it was Chenelle who was lying and framing someone else. Her jealousy nearly resulted in a fatality. Jade felt a chill run through her body as she heard this. How could a teenager harbor such malice? "And then what happened?" Jade pressed on.Kennedy shook his head, letting out a bitter laugh. "Even under my intense questioning, Chenelle refused to tell the truth. She insisted that she had pushed her into the water by accident."In a fit of rage, I struck her hard and sent her to live far away from Caelan. I halved her food portions, clothing, and allowance, hoping it would make her change her ways."But I was too naive. Chenelle was incredibly stubborn. Not only did she not change, but she also started to resent me deeply. She hides her feelings well in front of me, but behind my back, she often curses me."Jade’s frown deepened. Chenelle's actions were indeed chilling. No wonder Kennedy disliked her so much."Grandpa, haven't you noticed? Chenelle

Chenelle hid in a secluded corner and watched as Jade drove past her, her malicious gaze almost searing through Jade."Jade, your happiness won't last long. Soon, you'll taste the bitterness of abandonment. The happier you are now, the more painful it will be in the future."Only after Jade's car had almost disappeared did Chenelle slowly emerge from her hiding spot. She looked at the tightly shut door of the Fitzgerald residence before her and sneered in disgust as she strode away.Inside the Fitzgerald residence, Kennedy watched the surveillance footage with a grave expression. He had seen the venomous look on Chenelle's face with perfect clarity."Ah..." A long sigh escaped his lips, making him seem weary. He had tried countless ways to dispel the hatred in Chenelle's heart, but nothing he did could change her hostility toward the Fitzgerald family.Was there really no way? Would he have to take action against the child he had raised?"Sir, please don't be too troubled. Miss C

Samuel's words did not ease Caelan's furrowed brows. Instead, they deepened further as he sighed, "But I see Jade smiling more happily with other guys than she does with me."Caelan began to torment himself, wondering if he was not good enough, not perfect enough. Otherwise, why would so many outstanding men constantly surround Jade?Standing to the side, Samuel was on the verge of tears. How was he supposed to respond to that? If he agreed, he would surely lose his job. If he disagreed, it would seem too insincere.After pondering for a while, Samuel decided to change the subject. "Don't worry, sir. Orion will no longer be able to act. I’ll handle this personally."For a man to pose a threat to Caelan, he must be formidable. As an assistant, he needed to alleviate his employer's worries. If he couldn't solve such problems, what was the point of being an assistant?Caelan, lost in thought, suddenly lifted his gaze, his eyes sharp as he looked at Samuel. "Who said I wanted to black

Since the moment Caelan announced his return to the country, he had tried calling Jade, but she never picked up.This was unprecedented. From that time on, Caelan's face turned dark, and it remained that way until he landed.After several days without any word from him, it was understandable for Jade to be upset and ignore his calls. However, Samuel felt indignant on Caelan’s behalf.Upon Caelan’s arrival in Helosian, the hosts had demanded he cut off all external communication, fearing leaks of business secrets. This rare opportunity was too valuable to miss, so Caelan had complied with their demands.Caelan had initially thought that coming back a day early would jeopardize the deal, but to his surprise, he managed to secure it single-handedly.As soon as they got in the car, Samuel noticed the redness in Caelan’s eyes and asked with concern, "Sir, do you want to take a nap?"After a grueling 10-hour flight, Caelan was utterly exhausted, yet he pushed himself to go see the most

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

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
