"It's possible. Anything that triggers Emmy will stir her memories, so she resists Asher," Jade analyzed.Hunter smiled. "It's been so many years. Asher's probably used to it by now. He's hardly ever home now, just to avoid crossing paths with Emmy."Jade's heart raced at the revelation that Asher didn't live with the Alridges. She hoped he wasn't colluding with Lloyd. Otherwise, Lloyd would be even more difficult to deal with."Jade, don't you have plans with Caelan tonight?" Hunter reminded.Jade widened her eyes, and she quickly glanced at her wristwatch."I won't be attending the evening celebration. I have to leave right away," she exclaimed.With that, she hurriedly grabbed her bag and rushed out the door."Wait, I'll walk you out." Hunter grabbed his keys and hurried after her, only to see her collide with someone at the doorway.Jade exclaimed in pain as she held her forehead, then looked up to see Asher grimacing and holding his chin."Can you even walk?" Asher frowne
Hell was empty because this devil lurked in the world.Jade fixed her sharp gaze on Asher, a look so venomous it seemed capable of tearing him apart.In her past life, Asher had repeatedly harassed Jade while they worked in the same laboratory. She could sense trouble brewing and would remain on high alert. Despite voicing her concerns to Lloyd, he would brush them off, chiding her for being overly sensitive.At that time, Jade had been too meek and easily manipulated by Lloyd. Since he wouldn't stand up for her, she could only swallow her grievances. She had never doubted Lloyd's feelings for her.Asher's aggression only intensified, fueled by Lloyd's favoritism, and Jade had narrowly escaped becoming his victim multiple times. But a higher power eventually intervened, granting Jade a fresh start in this life to settle old scores."Hunter, I'll be leaving first then." Jade's eyes flashed murderously. She was smiling, but there was no warmth behind it. It was like a mask that hid
Caelan smiled, the warmth in his gaze brimming. "Let's go."He reached out his hand, and Jade paused before placing hers in it. As Caelan's hand tightened around hers, she felt a sense of security.They walked intimately into the hospital, heading to the VIP ward through the elevator.…Kennedy was watching TV out of boredom, and his eyes lit up when he saw Caelan and Jade enter together. "Oh, Jade, what brings you here?"It had been a while since he last saw Jade. He had been asking Caelan about her several times, but Caelan's vague answers had left him disgruntled. He had wanted to find Jade himself, but his frail body had landed him in the hospital.Now that Kennedy saw Jade, he felt like he was already halfway healed. He eagerly invited Jade to sit down, his eyes squinting into crescents as he asked with a grin, "Jade, tell Grandpa, what's going on between you two?"Jade glanced at Caelan in disapproval. Evidently, he hadn't informed Kennedy about their reconciliation.Seei
Byron stood outside the door and ultimately didn't enter.After a moment, he left the hospital, tossing the thermos into the trash bin on his way out. As he strode out of the hospital, he looked frighteningly angered.Samuel wanted to greet him but was ignored.Samuel was left puzzled. Byron wasn't usually like this. What happened to him today?Samuel knocked on the reception to ask a nurse, "Hey, what's going on with Mr. Byron?"The nurse had just seen Byron throw something into the trash can as he left the elevator, so she truthfully replied, "I don't know either. I just saw him throw something into the trash."Samuel approached the trash can and saw the thermos inside. He thought this should be reported to Caelan.Caelan received Samuel's call and glanced toward the door, but Byron was already gone. He guessed that Byron might have overheard their conversation. "What's wrong?" Kennedy asked when he noticed Caelan's strange expression.Afraid that Kennedy's heart couldn't h
"Okay." Jade pushed open the car door and got out, waving to Caelan, who nodded before leaving.When Jade returned to her dormitory, Melanie was already asleep. She quietly finished washing up before returning to her bedroom.She had a good night's sleep and woke up feeling refreshed.When Melanie got up and saw Jade's radiant face, she teased, "Truly a woman nurtured by love. Your complexion is glowing."Jade blushed and couldn't help but laugh. "Melanie, why are you teasing me like this?""I'm not wrong, am I?" Melanie made Jade look at herself in the mirror. "Look at yourself. Not only are you radiant, but there's also a sparkle in your eyes now."Jade looked at her reflection in the mirror, feeling stunned. Her reflection had bright eyes and clear skin, and she was completely different from before. There was a vibrancy about her that even she couldn't help but be infected.She couldn't help but reach out and touch her face, feeling amazed. All of this was because of Caelan.
ade gazed at Tiffany's helpless expression, feeling a slight pang in her heart. She sensed that this matter wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface.Just yesterday, she and Caelan had discussed marriage with Kennedy. Now, Byron was talking about marrying the McAuley heiress? How could this be mere coincidence?Besides, Byron's reputation as a playboy made Tiffany marrying him akin to walking into trouble."Don't worry, Tiffany. Let's think of a solution together. Maybe we can find a way out," Jade said, although she didn't have any good ideas.The situation was urgent, so she could only comfort Tiffany and ask her to relax.Tiffany nodded, but there was no trace of joy on her face. She knew that Jade's words were just to comfort her. What could an outsider like Jade do to help her?"Did they say when you'll meet?" Jade asked.Tiffany replied woefully, "Tonight.""So soon?" Jade took in a sharp breath. Things were progressing much faster than she had anticipated. Tiffany
Tiffany wore sunglasses that covered most of her face, her straight hair cascading down and nearly obscuring her features. Jade gently pushed aside Tiffany's long locks and noticed red spots on her fair skin, a clear sign that the drug had taken effect."Wait here. I'll be right back," Jade said, gently settling Tiffany down before turning and entering the club.Before coming, she had meticulously dressed and adorned herself with her most precious jewelry. As she stepped inside, her presence immediately drew the staff's attention, who eyed her as though she were a walking ATM."Miss, for how many guests?" Jade remained composed as she asked, "Do you have escorts?"The server was taken aback, caught off guard by her direct request. While each club had its own specialized service personnel, they typically conducted their business discreetly. Never before had someone made such a straightforward request as Jade.Upon hearing her words, the staff's demeanor toward her changed. They s
The escorts were momentarily stunned. Despite getting various special requests from customers, being asked to act was a first for them.Seeing their puzzled expressions, Jade explained. "It's simple. You just need to act like you've been dumped and are begging for a reconciliation. It shouldn't be difficult."Jade scanned each of their faces. "Got it?"Realizing they were just going to act, the men breathed a sigh of relief. While they might not be good at other things, they were adept at charming women.Jade nodded in satisfaction. "Once it's done, each of you will receive 7,000 dollars.""Got it." Motivated by money, the men enthusiastically agreed.Jade gathered them around and carefully explained each person's role and the sequence of their appearance, then returned to Tiffany's side."Why did it take you so long?" Tiffany glanced at her watch. It had been 40 minutes already. She nervously looked outside the hotel, but Byron's car hadn't arrived yet.Jade smirked slyly. "I
