The Supreme Heiress Chapter 18
A hint of joy crossed Jade's heart, but she soon furrowed her brows. In her previous life, Leah had broken her leg during this birthday banquet, right after the Fitzgeralds had arrived. Unfortunately, Jade had been too timid at the time and hadn't seen how the incident had occurred. This time, she had to protect her grandmother. Jade instinctively supported Leah by her arm, assisting her toward the exit.Although she felt pleased in her heart, Leah said stubbornly, "I'm not that old. Why are you assisting me?" Leah had always been strong-willed, so she refused to admit she was growing old even in her seventies.Knowing her grandmother's mindset, Jade smiled. "I just want to be closer to you."After the splendid confrontation that had occurred earlier, Leah's perception of Jade had changed. Seeing Jade's genuine concern for her, she felt joyous and allowed Jade to assist her.Just as they walked out, Neve came in and witnessed the scene. She was somewhat shocked, as she wondered h

Unfortunately, Leah had seen through her little tricks long ago. Neve was intercepted by Brianna, who greeted her with a pleasant smile. "Ms. Neve, your hand is injured. Let me bandage it up for you."Neve could only watch helplessly as Jade supported Leah and headed toward the entrance.Not far away, the Fitzgerald convoy was already approaching. The luxurious fleet stopped in front of the villa, and the door of the leading Hummer opened, revealing a pair of long legs.The moment the door opened, it seemed as if a spotlight shone down on Caelan. Regardless of the occasion, he always stood out, making it impossible for people to ignore him.Caelan then helped out an elderly man with graying hair. The old man was in traditional attire, and he was wearing a pair of handmade cloth shoes. Despite his age, he stood tall and walked with vigor, and even though his face was covered in wrinkles, his eyes were extremely sharp and gave off a sense of authority and wisdom.Jade was a bit shoc

The light was blocked, so the room was dim. Caelan stood frostily at the door, his gaze on Jade unusually icy, as if he was looking at his arch-enemy."Mr. Fitzgerald, what are you doing?" Trying to make Caelan speak first was like asking for the moon, so Jade had to take the initiative.Caelan's tall figure loomed over her like a mountain pressing down on her, suffocating her. The pervasive chill coming from him felt like it could freeze everything in its vicinity."I won't marry you," he stated curtly. It wasn't a negotiation tactic, but more of a command. Just like the man himself, authoritative and unyielding, not leaving any room for compromise.Suddenly, Jade realized what was going on. No wonder Caelan never looked happy to see her. This was the issue.Earlier, she had pondered how Leah's leg had gotten injured, but she had forgotten one crucial detail.In her previous lifetime, Neve had been the favorite, so Leah had intentionally tried to set Caelan up with her. At the t

Jade stepped forward, retrieving bandages and some antiseptic from the medical kit as she addressed Caelan. "Mr. Kennedy's injury is our priority. Let me bandage it up first."Caelan's gaze shifted to Jade. Meeting her clear eyes, he declined. "We have a professional medical team. Thanks, but no thanks, Ms. Jade."As it turned out, he didn't trust her medical skills. It wasn't just Caelan. Even Leah appeared surprised. She knew Jade very well and understood that medicine was not her expertise."Jade, don't be foolish," Leah said, signaling for her not to insist.Jade didn't want to make a scene, but the injury on Kennedy's ankle was severe. If she didn't intervene, his treatment might be delayed."If we wait for the Fitzgeralds’ professional medical team, Mr. Kennedy's wound might deteriorate. If it gets infected, will you take responsibility?" Jade asked Caelan calmly.This was the first time she had confronted him head-on since her rebirth, and it was far from the warm and tend

Leah looked at Jade with a hint of surprise.Everyone knew that the Fitzgerald Group's businesses spanned the globe, ranging from investments in real estate, finance, IT, and more. Being able to enter the Fitzgerald Group meant stepping onto the path of success. Besides, the renowned Centus Hospital was under the Fitzgerald Group's umbrella.Kennedy's offer was a rare opportunity for Jade.Jade was momentarily dazed, but Leah, who saw her somewhat bewildered expression, nudged her with her elbow, saying, "Silly girl, why did you freeze? Hurry up and thank Kennedy."Coming back to her senses, Jade said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Kennedy.""Don't disappoint me." Kennedy chuckled. He then glanced at Caelan and instructed him, "You're in charge of this."Caelan was visibly reluctant, but given Kennedy's command, there was no room to argue. He could only nod."Mom, are you okay?" Melvin had rushed over upon hearing the news. However, he felt somewhat awkward given the current situat

"Can't she stay here overnight?" Leah sounded even more displeased."Okay, okay, if you want her to stay, who am I to object? I'll take my leave then," Melvin said.Leah waved her hand, indicating for him to leave. Melvin had no choice but to leave with Neve.After he left, Jade followed Leah back to the room."What's the matter? Do you have something to say?" Earlier outside, Leah had sensed that Jade had wanted to speak but had held herself back. That was why she had called her into the room to have a private conversation.Jade nodded and handed the broken section of the railing to Leah. "Grandma, take a look. I found this next to the pond."The broken railing looked like a clean cut, which clearly indicated that someone had deliberately tampered with it. Their intention must have been to make Leah fall into the pond and make it look like an accident.Leah's heart lurched, but she remained calm on the surface, as if she had anticipated it. "It seems like the other party is get

"Okay, Grandma," Jade said obediently.Brianna helped Leah get up and led her back to the room.Jade thought about her past life, when Leah had handed over all household authority to Gemma after her injury. Jade wondered if the situation would change now that she had intervened. However, since Gemma already couldn't contain herself, Jade decided to act like a quiet hunter and wait for the prey to fall into her trap. She believed that the news of her being invited over by the Fitzgeralds would quickly reach someone's ears.As expected, the news of her internship at the Fitzgerald Group reached Neve’s ears. Neve went to Gemma with tears in her eyes. "Mom, you need to think of something. I can't let her climb over my head."To many people, Jade joining the Fitzgerald Group meant that she would be entering the Fitzgerald family.How could Neve not be anxious when an adopted daughter of the Severins might be entering the Fitzgerald family?Gemma felt both angry and surprised. The pe

Gemma's heart settled down instantly, and she looked at Melvin with glowing eyes. "What do you mean?"Melvin got up, put on a shirt, and replied, "I believe you've noticed her resistance in the past few days. What does that indicate? It means you’ve pushed her too hard. The energy that erupts when someone reaches their limit is unimaginable. Otherwise, you wouldn't have lost your position as general manager."Gemma was indignant. "So, even you believe her over me?"Knowing that Melvin was easily swayed by coaxing and not harsh words, Gemma shed a few crocodile tears. As expected, Melvin softened and said, "Still, she's not my biological daughter. If we don't use some special means, how will we get her to obediently follow our orders?"Based on what Melvin said, Gemma understood that he was merely using Jade, which made her feel relieved. However, she wouldn't let that wretch have it so easy. If she dared to resist, she would show her the consequences of rebellion.Jade spent the n
