"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

The servant, however, wasn't as composed as Jade. He hid behind her with a gasp and stammered, "Ms. Severin, please don't move. Panther is very fierce and it will bite anyone it pleases. As long as we don't bother it, it won't attack us."Jade was scared of ferocious dogs too, but since she had experienced death once, there was not much left for her to fear."Why would there be a dog on the grounds?" Jade asked in a hushed tone."This dog is..."Before the servant could finish, a nonchalant voice reached Jade's ears. "Who are you?"Turning toward the voice, Jade saw a man in a blue striped suit eyeing her up and down. The man frowned, but his smile and gaze were both mocking."Sir..." The servant looked at him pleadingly for help. "Panther is out again. Could you please take it away? It's really frightening."While the man looked at Jade, she was also sizing him up. She recalled that he was Caelan's elder cousin, the oldest member of their generation—Byron Fitzgerald.Kennedy h

Jade followed Caelan into the castle but noticed that he didn't head to the living room. Instead, he went to the yard.Sitting by the pond, Kennedy was dressed casually, wearing a fisherman's hat and looking deeply engrossed in fishing. When he saw Jade and Caelan approaching, he gestured to them from across the pond, signaling for them to come slowly so they would not startle the fish.The sunlight was intense, giving Kennedy a slightly flushed complexion, but he seemed to be in good spirits.Jade could tell based on the way he looked that his injury wasn't serious. After all, he was sitting and not putting any strain on the wound, so she wasn't too worried."Oh, got a bite, got a bite!" Jade was lost in thought when Kennedy suddenly exclaimed, rapidly spinning the fishing rod.Beneath the calm surface of the pond, a large blue carp churned, breaking through the water. The fish was sizable, caught but reluctant to give in, so it kept struggling to escape.Kennedy shouted when he

Jade was sitting next to Caelan, feeling stiff all over. She had been about to find an opportunity to slip away when she heard Kennedy. She could only nod and say, "A bit.""Do you know how to cook fish?" Kennedy asked.Jade's culinary skills were limited, but fish was her specialty, so she replied, "Yes.""Then can you show us what you can do?" Kennedy was full of anticipation as he said with a smile, "Have dinner here. You can leave after you eat."Jade had conflicting emotions for Caelan. She both wanted to know him and feared getting closer to him. Upon hearing what Kennedy said, she suddenly remembered that Caelan loved eating fish. She would be happy to cook for him.Feeling gratitude, Jade agreed. "Sure. If it doesn't turn out well, please bear with me."Kennedy waved his hand. "Don't be nervous, we're a family. Just go ahead."Jade heaved a sigh of relief and entered the kitchen as though she was marching into a battlefield, only to find that all the ingredients had alre

The oil in the pan began to smoke, and Jade exclaimed as she hastily added the cut ingredients to the wok. The ingredients hit the hot surface with a sizzle, releasing a fragrant aroma.As Jade wielded the spatula, she noticed Caelan standing there, looking as utterly bewildered as an adorable dog. Her heart softened for a moment."Pass me the soy sauce?" she asked.Caelan scanned the kitchen before picking up a seasoning bottle and handing it over. Jade nearly burst into laughter when she saw it—Caelan had handed her the vinegar instead of the soy sauce."It's over there." Jade suppressed her laughter as she showed him.Caelan, who remained expressionless, felt a bit nervous. This was the first time he had entered a kitchen, and it was unexpectedly troublesome.Jade noticed his unease and found it amusing. However, as she chuckled inwardly, her heart ached.In her previous life, Caelan had been an excellent cook. He had not only been able to cook regular dishes but also dessert
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 30
The idea of letting Caelan take her home made Jade nervous to the point of suffocation."That won't do," Kennedy objected. "You already came all this way to change my bandages. Having him drive you home is nothing."Caelan showed no emotion, but his furrowed brows did not escape Jade's eyes. Deep down, he was reluctant."I have a meeting in 40 minutes," Caelan said matter-of-factly.Jade immediately understood. It would take 30 minutes to take her home, so Caelan would give her only ten minutes to eat. Quite demanding of him…"I'm done eating too," Jade replied hurriedly.As they were about to leave, Kennedy felt a bit disappointed. He had wanted to chat more with the two of them. However, for his grandson's happiness, he decided to make a small sacrifice. Waving his hand, he said, "Alright, you two go ahead."After bidding farewell to Kennedy, Jade and Caelan left the Fitzgeralds’ home.Outside, a black Maybach was parked, looking like a mysterious and dangerous beast lurking
