《The Supreme Heiress》全部章節：第 161 章 - 第 170 章

The guys were wearing formal suits, while the girls were wearing formal gowns.Anyone who could enroll at Clotheap University was a top-tier student with strong abilities, so even the students from less affluent backgrounds spared no expense to dress up for the opening ceremony, fearing being outdone by their peers.Jade had dressed up too, but there was no hint of joy on her face, only seriousness.School was supposed to be a place for education, but it had turned into a venue where business conglomerates could select elite students. The students were like goods up for sale, waiting for discerning buyers to fetch a good price."Oh my god, everyone attending the opening ceremony this time is a business celebrity." Melanie looked excitedly at the business bigwigs wandering around the campus, her eyes shining and her hands clasped against her chest in anticipation. "I wonder if anyone will notice me."She called Jade several times without getting a response. Turning around, she saw

Jade recognized the person on the stage. It was none other than Neve, who was dressed for the occasion. Although Neve was wearing a mask, Jade still recognized her at a glance.Neve got off the moon and gracefully walked over to a piano to play. Soon, everyone was immersed in her beautiful piano music.Melanie nudged Jade, looking anxious. "Hey, you didn't prepare anything? This could affect your future position at school. Anyone can see that today's ceremony is all about preparing to fight for the title of Miss Clotheap."Jade, however, had no intention of vying for the title. She found this vain title meaningless and would rather spend her time and effort in the lab."Nope," she said nonchalantly.Melanie widened her eyes in disbelief. "Are you kidding me? Do you know what being Miss Clotheap represents? It's not just about your status at Clotheap University. It will also help your future development. The benefits your fame will bring you will extend beyond the title. Do you und

The host's question echoed the sentiment of many people present, who were also deeply interested in the answer.Caelan smiled as he glanced at Jade and said, "Because she likes it."The host had been waiting for Caelan to give a lengthy response, and she was so surprised by the brief answer that it took her a while to react."Mr. Fitzgerald cares deeply for Ms. Severin," the host said, unsure how to express her feelings. Apart from feeling envy and jealousy, all she could do was lament her own misfortune. Why couldn't she meet a rich, handsome, devoted man like this?Jade was so shocked by Caelan's words that her jaw almost dropped open. She looked at him in astonishment, as if he were a monster.Her expression gave too much away, so Caelan pinched her fingertips in secret and whispered in a voice only they could hear, "It’s just a business gimmick. Why are you so surprised?"Jade was speechless. She had read too much into it.Caelan was killing two birds with one stone, gaining

In Melanie's opinion, someone was deliberately spreading rumors to sabotage Jade's chances of winning the Miss Clotheap title. How could it be serious enough to force Jade to drop out of school?"Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Try not to go to school in the next few days to avoid being implicated because of me," Jade said as she grabbed her jacket, putting on a hat and a mask. This was a critical time, and she had to be cautious, lest those brainwashed people did something extreme to her."Where are you going?" Melanie asked anxiously."I'm going to see someone," Jade replied.In Jade's previous life, she had not only experienced online attacks, but she had also become a target of bullying by everyone at school, all thanks to Neve's deliberate schemes. She had lived through four years of university life in constant fear, facing threats and humiliation every day—including being drenched with cold water, having her food tampered with, and being locked in the

In spite of this, Jade remained unfazed and let out a chuckle."Lloyd, what makes you think I would shake hands and make peace with you? We've never been friends in the past, and we certainly will not become friends in the future."He had smeared her name behind her back, then turned around and acted as if nothing had happened, chatting with her as if they were old pals. Such a person either had incredibly thick skin or no shame at all.Lloyd hadn't expected Jade to reject his request and even go as far as to mock him. His hurt pride made his expression turn fierce."Jade, are you sure you want to go against me? Don't think that just because you have the Fitzgerald Group backing you up, I can't touch you. The Zeals are not to be trifled with. You better think about this carefully."Seeking reconciliation and then resorting to threats when his attempt failed? Was Jade supposed to be afraid of him? It was laughable."Bring it on. If I even frown, I'll leave Clotheap University imme
