Kaitlyn grew more excited as she thought about it. She poured gasoline without paying attention to the nearby wires, which were also splashed. After pouring it, she quickly brandished a lighter, but she didn't anticipate that her leg would give out, causing her hand to hit the wall.The lighter was instantly knocked to the floor, and a spark met the oil, causing flames to erupt instantly.Kaitlyn screamed and quickly backed away. The security guards who rushed over saw the scene and immediately restrained her before using fire extinguishers to put out the fire.Kaitlyn's arms were held back, and she shouted in a panic, "Let go of me! I'm pregnant. Let me go!"The security guards didn't listen to her and said, "You committed arson, which is against the law. You can explain this to the police.""Let me go, let me go!" Kaitlyn screamed, seeking help from Melvin, "Melvin, save me, please save me! I didn't mean to do this, I really didn't!"Melvin was too busy to care about Kaitlyn no
Regardless of Neve's state inside, Gemma was truly done for this time. Despite her legitimate status, could Melvin be around a woman who was disfigured? Today's events would definitely make headlines the next day, and Melvin would be preoccupied.The weight in Jade's heart seemed to have been released, and she felt inexplicably light. This was the nicest day she had experienced since her rebirth."Jade." A cold voice came from behind, and Jade turned to see Caelan standing there with a stern face. It was understandable that he, as the CEO, would be informed of such a big incident. Jade smiled and greeted him. "Mr. Fitzgerald."Caelan stood in front of her, his gaze cold and his tone icy. "Jade, I don't care what your motives are, but don't test me. This hospital is a place meant to save lives, not a place for you to seek revenge. If you dare play tricks under my nose again, don't blame me for being ruthless."Jade was struck by a realization. Caelan thought that today's events were
Jade approached step by step, wearing a smile as she stood by Gemma's bed. "Mom, why would you think that? I'm your daughter. How could I ever find you ugly?""Ugly?" Reminded by Jade's words, Gemma instinctively reached for her face, anxiously looking around. "A mirror! Get me a mirror! I need a mirror right now!"Jade took out a mirror and handed it to her. "I advise you not to look, or I'm afraid you won't be able to eat."Gemma snatched the mirror and when she saw the monster in it, she screamed and dropped the mirror to the floor, covering her face. "No, this isn't me! It can't be me!""Of course it's you, Mom. Severe burns have disfigured you, but don't worry. I'll definitely cure you," Jade sneered.'Gemma, did you ever dream you would end up looking like this? Every year, you spend a fortune on your face just to preserve your youth. Your face is your life, and now that it's ruined, you've lost half of your life.'"It's not me, it's not me, it's not me!" Gemma buried her h
Yes, it was Gemma. It was her stupidity that had messed things up. Melvin was now close to killing her."Is Neve Severin's family here?" The lights of the operating sign went out and the doctor walked out, looking around.Melvin snapped out of it, remembering that Neve was still in the operating room. He went up to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how did it go? Was the surgery successful?"The doctor nodded. "The surgery went smoothly. We'll have to wait and see how the recovery goes. If she does not reject the transplant, everything should be fine."After giving some instructions, the tired doctor left.The surgery had actually been successful? Jade was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that, after such a big incident, Neve would still survive. Truly, some people were destined to cause trouble.…Leah called in the morning, asking Melvin to head back. Since something so big had happened, she couldn't come to the hospital. If she were caught by the reporters, the Severin Gr
"That's enough." Leah, who was furious, slapped Melvin. "Even now, you still haven't realized your mistake. You have truly disappointed me. If you don't agree, then you shall deal with this mess on your own."Leah was panting from anger, and Jade hurriedly tried to calm her down. "Grandma, please don't get angry. Think of yourself."She genuinely felt sorry for Leah and couldn't bear to see her getting so upset.Leah, who was livid, ignored Melvin."Mom, I agree, I promise." Melvin lowered his head in despair. He knew Leah was genuinely angry this time. If she didn't help him, he would be done for."Mom, what do you plan to do?" Melvin was extremely afraid. Once the scandal erupted, the Severin Group's stocks would plummet instantly. At that point, not even the gods would be able to save him, and the Severins might go bankrupt.If they wanted to save the Severin Group, they could only reveal something even bigger that was beneficial to the Severin Group. What could be bigger than
At noon, the Fitzgeralds sent someone to pick up Jade. What surprised Jade was that the person who came turned out to be Caelan. He sat in the car with an air of nobility, his expression stern and his presence unwelcoming.Jade suddenly lost the courage to speak to him. She cautiously got in the car and sat stiffly on one side.Samuel, who saw Jade get seated, started the car and drove off.The atmosphere in the car felt dense, making even breathing difficult.Jade's heart was racing, and she sat rigidly in her seat like a stone. She didn't speak because she was too nervous. Caelan didn't speak because he thought the whole situation was absurd. Both of them were silent, each lost in their own thoughts, and the tension didn't ease even after they got out of the car.Kennedy, however, was delighted to see Jade. "Jade, you'll have to live with this brat for a while. If he dares to bully you, just tell me and I'll straighten him out."Caelan frowned. "Live with me?"He clearly hadn'
"Get lost, you..." The pain coursing through Gemma made her gasp repeatedly. Even in such a miserable state, she refused to bow down in front of Jade."When I recover, I'll make sure you pay for this," she vowed.Jade's smile faded from her face, getting replaced by a sneer. "You won't have that chance.""What do you mean?" Gemma asked warily.Jade found a chair by the hospital bed and sat down, speaking slowly. "Dad won't want a woman with ruined looks. Don't delude yourself into thinking you will still be Mrs. Severin. He will definitely divorce you.""You're talking nonsense," Gemma retorted, her chest heaving with anger. Despite her agitation, she seemed confident. "Melvin won't divorce me. He doesn't have the guts."Seeing her so convinced, Jade couldn't help but feel sorry for Melvin. The woman he had been sharing a bed with for so many years had turned out to be a venomous snake.In her previous life, Gemma had collected evidence of Melvin's tax evasion to control him.J
Jade felt that Gemma had to know something, but even if she asked her now, she wouldn't tell her. That was okay, she would wait—until Gemma herself spoke up and begged her.When Jade returned to the villa, Caelan hadn't come back yet. She thought for a moment, brewed a cup of lemon tea. and placed it on the table. It was Caelan's favorite. She also left a note under the cup—[I won't disrupt your life].After doing all this, she returned to her room. She took a shower and went to bed, preparing for the press conference the next day.When Caelan returned home, he visibly paused when he saw the women's slippers at the door. He had lived alone for many years, so having someone else around felt a bit strange. He saw the lemon tea on the table and pulled out the note beneath it. He glanced at it before crumpling it up and throwing it in the trash. Then, he picked up the lemon tea and took a sip.…When Jade and Caelan appeared together at the press conference the next day, she was still
