The Supreme Heiress Chapter 386
Jade put away her joking face and said seriously, "Lloyd is cunning and deceitful. If we publicly cornered him and didn't give him a way out today, he would surely cling to us like a rabid dog."There's a saying: 'It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain'. We've given him a lesson, so I believe he won't come looking for trouble in the short term.""Oh..." Realization struck Hunter as he considered Jade's words and found them reasonable. "Okay, I'll listen to you."Jade and Hunter exchanged a smile, but her smile froze when her gaze fell on someone in the distance. She had been so engrossed in chatting with Hunter that she had forgotten about Caelan.He was currently standing ahead and looking at her with a displeased expression.Jade ran over, grabbing his hand. "Caelan, we won this battle beautifully, didn't we?"Caelan didn't pull his hand back, instead gripping Jade's hand. "It was impressive. You got Lloyd into a real mess this time.""That's his own doing!" Jade huf

Hunter's words amused Jade. Since he put it that way, refusing would seem too affected, so she decided to accept it.However, she wasn't one to take advantage of others for nothing. She thought for a moment before saying, "How about I deposit the money into the Severin Group and give you dividends at the end of the year? What do you think?""The Severin Group?" Hunter pondered for a moment, his eyes lighting up. "Is it the Severin Group that makes jewelry? Are you the current CEO?"Jade smiled bashfully. "I can't really say it's mine. I'm only temporarily in charge. My focus isn't on running the business."The Severins' affairs were known among insiders, and Hunter was no exception. He instantly understood what Jade meant and nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll go along with your plan. But I can't take your dividends for nothing. How about I design some jewelry for you as compensation?""You can design too?" Jade widened her eyes, realizing there were many mysteries about Hunter. Wit

The car window rolled down, revealing Lloyd's sinister face. He smirked at Jade and Hunter. "Sorry about that, hope I didn't scare you with the speed."Jade looked at his annoying face and retorted without backing down, "Us being scared is a small matter, but you not being able to control your things is a big deal. Losing money is a small loss, but losing pride is significant, isn't that right, Mr. Zeal?"She was mocking Lloyd's wager. He was arrogant just because he thought he played basketball well, but Hunter bested him.Lloyd instantly scowled. He was too green to be playing verbal games with Jade."I hope you'll always be able to stay so sharp-tongued," Lloyd spat and glared at Jade hatefully before stepping on the gas pedal and zooming off.Hunter watched Lloyd's car disappear and shook his head. "It seems like we won't be able to resolve our grievances with him.""If we can't resolve it, then we'll just have to knock him down until he can't bother us anymore," Jade said li

The crowd turned around to see Lloyd walking toward them. He was well-known throughout the university, so the security guards naturally recognized his car.Seeing Lloyd, they all hesitated. "Mr. Zeal, do you need anything?"Lloyd pointed at Asher with a smile. "Hand him over to me.""Mr. Zeal, this guy is very dangerous. You should be careful," the security guard kindly reminded.Lloyd took Asher and smiled without a care. "It's okay. He won't hurt me."He took Asher back to his car, put him inside, and then quickly left the campus.…Half an hour later, Lloyd returned to his company.Jordan, his assistant, opened the car door, greeting respectfully, "Mr. Zeal, you're back."Lloyd nodded and pointed inside the car. "Take good care of him. He's my guest."Jordan took a look inside, Upon seeing Asher slumped in the back seat, reeking of alcohol, he frowned in disapproval. "It's a drunkard?""A drunkard?" Lloyd smiled nonchalantly. "He's not just any ordinary drunkard, but a ge

It seemed one of them dwelled in paradise while the other survived underground. Asher had always yearned to prove himself, but opportunities eluded him. How could he possibly let this golden chance slip away today, lying right before his eyes?"Really? Are you sure you want to collaborate with me?" Asher's eager eyes couldn't escape Lloyd. He was like a fish out of water, and Lloyd was the water that could save him.Lloyd nodded and handed a card to Asher, saying, "There are 7,000,000 dollars in here. You can use them as you please. Not only that, but I can also give you 1% of the Zeal Group's shares, and there will be dividends at the end of the year. Is that sincere enough?"Asher was too shocked to speak. If he had doubts about Lloyd earlier, he now fully trusted him."Mr. Zeal, you really surprised me. Since you're so sincere, I won't let you down either."Lloyd shook hands with Asher and smiled. "Here's to a great partnership."...The celebration party for the game was sch

The fact that Francis recognized Jade but tactfully avoided mentioning her background showed respect toward her.Jade was touched by this gesture. She felt good about Francis and greeted them with a smile, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Alridge.""Ah, nice to meet you." Vanessa looked kind with a warm smile as well, appearing well-mannered. Noises came from inside the room again.Feeling embarrassed, Vanessa smiled apologetically at Jade. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Excuse us."Jade shook her head. "I should be the one apologizing. I broke my promise and stood Emmy up, so her temper is understandable.""Alright, let's chat later. Let's go see Emmy now." Hunter asked Francis and Vanessa to go downstairs with a smile, "You two should rest. Leave Emmy to me, okay?"Francis and Vanessa felt somewhat reassured. "Emmy has always been close to you since she was young. She should be able to listen to you. Try to advise her.""Got it. Go on, now. The longer you stay here, the more unstable

Being praised by a child like that contented Jade very much. She encouraged Emmy, "Thank you, Emmy. As long as you work hard, you can achieve it too."Emmy lowered her head, looking somewhat discouraged. Her gaze fell on her legs, her expression down. "I want to, too, but my body won't allow it."Jade was taken aback, only then realizing that there were no school bags or study-related items in Emmy's room. She asked in surprise, "You don't go to school?"Emmy shook her head, then nodded slightly. "My health isn't good. Although I don't go to school, my mom hired tutors for me. I have piano, painting, and singing lessons, but I don't like any of them. I just want to study medicine."A 12-year-old child who only wanted to study medicine puzzled Jade. "Tell me, why do you want to study medicine?"Emmy smiled shyly, looked around to ensure no one was listening, and gestured for Jade to come closer. "Because I want to make myself better."Due to Emmy sitting in a wheelchair for a long

Emmy extended her finger. "Then let's pinky promise."Jade was momentarily stunned before extending her finger and hooking pinkies with Emmy. They even sealed it with their thumbs, and only then did Emmy feel at ease enough to go to sleep.After Hunter and Jade exited Emmy's room, he brought her to the living room, and they sat on the couch."Jade, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, Emmy wouldn't be smiling so happily," Hunter said, his words implying a deeper meaning.Jade patiently listened, sensing that Hunter had more to say to her."How did Emmy injure her leg? Do you mind telling me?" Jade asked softly.Upon observing Hunter's surprise, it confirmed her suspicion that there was more to Emmy's leg injury.Fearful of Hunter misunderstanding, she hastily clarified, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to help Emmy. I believe she deserves to experience the joys of childhood, to be out in the sun like any other child, instead of being confined to her room every day."
