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.

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'

"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

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

Since returning home, she had smashed all the mirrors in the house.Melvin finally reached his breaking point after initially avoiding her. He couldn't take it anymore. "Let's get a divorce."Gemma looked at him resentfully. "Melvin, do you have no conscience? You begged me to marry you. Now that I'm disfigured, you want to abandon me? Are you even human?""You know you're disfigured, huh?" Melvin sneered. "I'm the Severin heir. If others find out how ugly you've become, where will I hide my face? Regardless of whether you want a divorce or not, you have to agree."He slapped the prepared divorce agreement on the table. "If you sign the divorce agreement without a fuss, I will still give you some money. If you don't listen and cause trouble, I have ways of d

The servant looked troubled. "Mrs. Gemma said that if you don't see her, she'll kneel outside the door indefinitely."The Severins were currently in the spotlight.

Jade would never believe that Gemma would truly repent, but she couldn't say that to Leah. She could only say vaguely, "Grandma, why don't we observe her for a couple of days before coming to a conclusion?"With the enemy in the dark and herself in the light, Jade was in a passive position. If Gemma stayed under Leah's nose, every move she made would be scrutinized."Okay, let her stay here for a couple of days," Leah said, not believing that Gemma could undergo such a drastic change in character either.Gemma busied herself in the kitchen, but unfortunately, she didn't know how to do anything and made a mess of things. Afraid of annoying Leah, she went to clean the house.Her humble attitude made the household servants shake their heads. Jade suddenly understood that Gemma was taking a step back to move forward.
