The Supreme Heiress

"Jade, how does it feel to be lying in bed like the living dead?"Jade Severin, who had just gotten out of surgery, struggled to open her eyes. When she did, she saw the radiant Neve Severin standing by her bed."Sis—Neve..." Jade tried to speak, but her voice came out hoarse and unintelligible.A car accident had wrecked her life, leaving her once-smooth skin wrinkled and her hands ruined by burns, while her sweet voice had been lost amid this tragedy. Jade, who had been a top-notch medical expert, had become a worthless shell of her former self."You miserable creature, do you know how disgusting you look right now? It brings me immense joy. Perhaps you still don't know that your current state was my doing." Neve gloated by Jade's ear. "Let me enlighten you. Lloyd has already slept with me. He said he feels nauseous just looking at you."The revelation that Lloyd was involved with Neve hit Jade like a ton of bricks.No, he wouldn't do this! He loved her so much that he had told her h

The edge of the fragment was sharp, so when Jade pressed it softly, a line of blood appeared on the bald man's neck. The two other men were taken aback by Jade's ruthless demeanor. "You crazy woman, who do you think you're trying to scare? I don't believe you'll actually do it.""Really?" Jade smirked, pressing down with the shard a little more. Blood immediately streamed from the bald man's neck. "If he dies, both of you will be accomplices. I'll tell everyone the three of us did it together.""You're insane!" Both men shouted simultaneously, looking at Jade as if she were mad."You forced me to do this!" Jade shouted back, unafraid. "Since it's come to this, we might as well die together."The bald man woke up then, fear draining the color from his face when he saw that Jade wouldn't mind dying. "No, no, please don't. Don't mess around. We were just following Ms. Neve's orders. Get back at her."Discovering this was indeed Neve's doing, Jade sneered inwardly. She glanced at the bald

Jade's eyes met Caelan's, which were icy and contained a hint of a warning. It seemed like if she didn't handle this well, she would get into trouble.She stepped away from Caelan's embrace and looked at everyone calmly. "Mr. Fitzgerald is a bit intoxicated, so I helped him up here to rest. Is there a problem?""But what about your dress?" Neve still wouldn't let it go, as if Jade's embarrassment was vital for her own survival.Jade tugged at the hem of her dress, smiling confidently. "I accidentally got that dress dirty."Everyone looked relieved, understanding everything now."Mr. Fitzgerald never indulges in carnal pleasure. Besides, he is well-dressed. How could he have anything to do with Ms. Jade? This might have been set up by someone," someone whispered."Who knows? There is plenty of intrigue in wealthy families. Let's just enjoy the show," someone else sneered.These remarks reached Melvin's ears, making him scowl. He glared at Gemma, who lowered her head guiltily."A

Jade's words made Neve turn pale instantly. She nervously looked at Jade, unable to comprehend how this formerly timid and meek woman had suddenly transformed into a different person. If this matter were thoroughly investigated, it would undoubtedly be traced back to her.Melvin also knew that the banquet had been organized by Gemma. If it hadn't been for her deliberate arrangement, how could those three men have appeared unnoticed? He glanced at Neve, who looked uneasy, then at the ice-cold Caelan.After a lot of contemplation, he turned around and delivered a resounding slap on Neve's face before angrily saying, "You're too willful! Apologize to your sister right now.""Dad?" Neve screamed, covering her stinging face in disbelief. For the sake of that wretched b*tch, her dad had actually hit her. Not only that, but he was demanding an apology."What are you still standing there for? Go and apologize at once," Melvin demanded, sounding enraged.Neve dared not defy him, so she reluctan

As Gemma left, Jade sighed visibly in relief. Everyone was gone, and no one cared about her. The hotel was a considerable distance from the Severin residence. Without any money on her, she had to tread back on her high heels slowly. Staring at the seemingly endless road ahead, she couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Walking all the way back would likely ruin her feet.A glaring set of headlights approached from behind, making Jade instinctively move to the roadside. A limited-edition Bugatti came to a stop in front of her, and the window rolled down, revealing a handsome face."Get in." The man's voice was cold.Jade looked at Caelan in surprise, her gaze almost infatuated. She replied softly, "Thank you."Opening the car door, she cautiously took a seat. Her heart raced, and from the corner of her eye, she could only see Caelan's hand—a clean, slender one with a natural masculine power to it. She found it oddly comforting.As the car moved, Jade's hand accidentally brushe
