The Supreme Heiress Chapter 488
The bodyguard's words shook Lloyd out of his composure. He knew all too well the power of that talk show host. If the host caught him in his vulnerable state, he wouldn't let him off easy."Mr. Lloyd, we can't hesitate any longer," the bodyguard urged as he saw Lloyd struggling with his decision. "If we don't leave now, it might be too late."Lloyd gritted his teeth and shut his eyes tightly."Let's go," he muttered through clenched teeth.Several bodyguards swiftly escorted him toward the backyard, where Lloyd exchanged clothes with one of them in a secluded spot. Donning Lloyd's attire, the bodyguard slipped on sunglasses and headed to the front yard.Meanwhile, the other bodyguards widened the hole in the corner of the wall, making it large enough for one person to pass through.They beckoned Lloyd, saying, "Mr. Lloyd, come quickly. There's no one here."Lloyd scanned his surroundings, ensuring there was no one nearby. With caution, he instructed the bodyguard, "You go first

Lloyd, accompanied by his bodyguards, fled in shame, trailed by journalists forming a long queue behind his car.After the dispersal of the crowd, the Zeal mansion's tranquility finally returned."Ms. Severin, thank you," Kayden sincerely expressed his gratitude to Jade. Had it not been for Jade's plan, how easily could Lloyd have fallen into their trap?With this commotion, the tide had turned in their favor. Many discussed how Lloyd, with his youthful arrogance, was unfit to lead the Zeal Group.Meanwhile, Kayden, typically understated, swiftly became the object of public adoration. Surrounded by journalists at the Zeal mansion, he had remained composed, earning a following of fans.Jade pushed Sophie toward him with a smile. "No problem. I merely did what was necessary."Jade was deeply moved by the love between Kayden and Sophie and took immediate action upon learning of Lloyd's plan to kidnap Sophie to threaten Kayden. Not only did she thwart his scheme but also orchestrated

A few days later, Kerrigan's case went to trial. Lloyd hired the most famous lawyer for him, instructing the attorney beforehand that they could only win and not lose.The lawyer was under immense pressure—everyone knew this case was difficult to win—but Lloyd offered him a hefty sum. Despite the challenges, he was determined to proceed."Understood, Mr. Lloyd."Satisfied, Lloyd nodded. He had prepared extensively for this trial. Losing was not an option. Since Lloyd's previous incident had caused the Zeal Group's stocks to plummet, he didn't attend the trial in person. However, he could see everything that happened in the courtroom clearly.The judge arrived, as did others, followed by the plaintiff and defendant. Kayden and Kerrigan met again, both looking particularly resentful.After over a month in custody, Kerrigan had aged significantly, barely recognizable with his once-dark hair now white, adding a decade to his appearance. In contrast, Kayden seemed rejuvenated after h

Jade swaggered in, took a seat in front of Lloyd, and looked at him with a cold smirk. "I'm here to tell you that you won't win this lawsuit."Lloyd gritted his teeth, glaring at her. She was just a woman he didn't take seriously, yet he had repeatedly fallen into her traps. It wasn't that he wasn't cautious enough, it was just that Jade was incredibly cunning. It seemed like she was born to thwart him, knowing all his weaknesses and exploiting them every time they clashed."What do you mean?" Learning from past experiences, Lloyd didn't dare to confront Jade rashly again and adopted a somewhat appeasing attitude."Jade, I remember I haven't offended you. Even if I did in the past, it was unintentional. After all, everyone loves beautiful things. You wouldn't hold a grudge against me for that, would you?" Lloyd really didn't understand why Jade bore such resentment toward him. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have provoked her or even entertained the idea of recruiting her under

Despite Lloyd shouting several times, nobody came in.Jade ignored Lloyd's frustration and continued. "I've already investigated that Wade received a 70,000,000-dollar deposit three years ago. Although the money was wired from a foreign bank, what piques my curiosity is the intricate connection between this account and the Zeals."She slowly walked up to Lloyd, her dark eyes staring intently at him. "Tell me, what do you think will happen if I present this evidence to the judge?"Lloyd was astonished. He thought he had been careful enough, so why was Jade still able to uncover his tracks? Was she some kind of devil?Lloyd's mind began to crumble bit by bit. In his desperate bid to gain control of the Zeal Group's inheritance, Kerrigan had bribed Wade with a large sum of money to help him fabricate evidence. Now, Jade had dug it all up. Wade was like a time bomb. Once he spilled everything, Lloyd would be finished.Lloyd suppressed his fear and tried to maintain his composure. "Don

Just as Kayden was about to give up, a surprising scene unfolded. The defendant's lawyer made a startling move—he stood up and told the judge, "Your Honor, I request a recess."The judge was puzzled. The defendant's side was in a favorable position, and pressing forward would almost guarantee their victory. However, he respected their choice."Very well, recess," he declared, agreeing to the defendant's request.Outside the courtroom, Kayden looked at the opposing side in confusion. "What's the meaning of this?""Mr. Kayden, we're dropping the case," the defendant's lawyer said before leaving, astonishing Kayden.Kayden's phone rang, so he answered only to find Lloyd on the line."Uncle Kayden, as you wished, you will receive 50% of the Zeal Group's shares," Lloyd said before hanging up abruptly.Kayden held the phone, baffled, and turned to his lawyer. "What's happening?"Neither he nor the lawyer understood.With a mind swirling with questions, Kayden hastened to the Zeal Gr

Kayden's eyes filled with tears as he covered his face and cried, "Father, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"His plight evoked sympathy, but now wasn't the time for tears. There was still a heap of things he needed to do."Kayden, I need your help with something," Jade said, her expression serious.Kayden looked up at her and nodded. "Whatever it is, just tell me. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best.""You must help me find the key to Lloyd's laboratory. It's crucial for me," Jade requested.From the beginning, her goal had been the laboratory. She had made her intentions clear to Kayden from the start.As such, he wasn't surprised when she made this request. There had to be something significant for her to desire access to the lab."Now that I can freely enter and exit the Zeal Group, I'll find a way to get the key," Kayden assured Jade. She had helped him so much, and he owed her this much in return."Thank you," Jade replied with a relieved smile. It seemed her dec

Sophie's worries rendered Stella speechless. She stared at Sophie for a full minute before speaking. "You're supposed to be an educated young lady from a wealthy family. What era are we living in that you still think like this? Why bother with those internet trolls? You and Kayden have finally come this far. Don't overthink it."Stella's words provided some comfort to Sophie, but she still couldn't completely let go of her worries."Okay, I understand." Sophie didn't want Stella to worry about her, so she forced a smile.Noting Sophie's response, Stella realized she hadn't convinced her. Although she was concerned, she refrained from pressuring Sophie too much. She understood she had her own obstacles to overcome.After leaving Sophie, Stella met Jade at a nearby coffee shop."How's it going?" They settled in, discussing the situation over coffee.Stella sighed before delicately sipping her coffee. "This is something others can't solve. We'll need to wait until she comes to her s
