Semua Bab The Supreme Heiress: Bab 351 - Bab 360

The members of the board of trustees in the conference room understood the implication of Larry's words. They chuckled quietly to themselves, while Vincent and Jeremiah frowned upon hearing them. After all, Jade represented Clotheap University, and Larry seemed to indirectly insult the university as well.Vincent glanced at Jade discreetly and found her calm and composed, showing no signs of anger or confrontation in reaction to Larry. Instead, she calmly addressed Larry in a polite yet distant tone. "Mr. Woolley, please think carefully before speaking. My personal reputation is insignificant, but you shouldn't tarnish the school's reputation as well. Remember, Quincy is also a student of Clotheap University. If my reputation is damaged, she won't benefit either.""You..." Larry caught the meaning behind Jade's words. He hadn't expected her to be so sharp-tongued. Taking a deep breath, he retorted angrily, "You are you, and Quincy is Quincy. Your affairs won't affect my daughter. Hmp

As soon as that voice was heard, the door was kicked open. Cooper stepped in with measured steps, casting a cold glance around the conference room and sneering. "A bunch of adults are bullying a young girl. Have you no shame?""Hey, how dare you speak like that?" A member of the board of trustees slammed their hand on the table, scolding Cooper.Cooper kicked over a row of chairs, propped a long leg up on one of the chairs, and smirked at the shouting member with his chin raised slightly. "I speak politely to reasonable people, and I use my fists on everyone else. Which treatment do you want?"Standing at 1.85 meters, Cooper towered over everyone in the room and intimidated them. With his sturdy physique and broad shoulders, he was more than one head taller than the greasy, middle-aged men. Thanks to his cocky demeanor, no one dared to contradict him.Initially, Vincent intended to reprimand Cooper for his unreasonable entrance, but he couldn't help but feel strangely pleased after

Caelan was wearing a sharp suit. His gaze was icy, his expression rigid, and the chill radiating from him sent shivers down everyone's spine.As the heir of the Fitzgerald Group, he stood at the pinnacle of the Centus elite. He held everyone's fate in his hands. The board of trustees was shocked by his arrival and terrified by his words.Apologize?Did Caelan really expect them, all prominent figures in their respective circles—bank presidents, government officials, etc.—to apologize to Jade, a mere fledgling, who had barely made her mark?This was humiliating.The atmosphere in the room froze, and no one dared to speak up, even though they all felt disdain deep down. If they had to apologize to Jade, they might as well drop dead."Mr. Fitzgerald, isn't this a bit unreasonable? I'm a bureau head, yet you expect me to apologize to a young girl like Jade? What about my reputation?" Khloe was the first to speak up, shooting a glance at Larry as she spoke.Larry understood her mea

Jade felt pliant in Caelan's arms, her unique scent greeting him and momentarily stunning him.Jade felt Caelan tense up and smiled, her arms tightening around him. "Thank you for standing up for me. Thank you...""For liking me" was what she would have said if she had finished her sentence.Caelan slowly lifted his arms, letting them hover above Jade's shoulders, his fingers curling and then straightening before he gently held on to her shoulders. Her embrace felt warm, and he liked it."How childish," he said, even though he actually liked it a lot.Jade didn't mind, knowing that Caelan was wary of physical closeness due to childhood trauma. The fact that he didn't push her away on the spot was already a win."Mr. Fitzgerald." Samuel suddenly pushed the door open, saw the scene, and quickly backtracked.Caelan, however, nonchalantly let go of Jade and called out, "What's the matter?"Samuel's heart was pounding. He realized he had walked in at the worst possible moment. He sh

The guy spoke with a frivolous tone, and his expression was even more contemptuous. "Women like her will do anything for money. She's a server at the club, but as long as the customer pays, she'll drink, sing, and even let you touch her without saying a word."Low laughter echoed around, mostly guys’ laughter. It seemed that Lilith's reputation wasn't a secret among them anymore.Jade didn't want to listen to the guy's vulgarity anymore, so she grabbed Melanie and left."I never expected Lilith's reputation to be this bad. What kind of decent person would work at a place like that?" Melanie lamented.Jade was indifferent. She hadn't interacted with Lilith much. The only time had been in the cafeteria, and Lilith had given off the impression that she was bossy and hard to get along with.As for what those guys had said, Jade couldn't agree, nor could she approve of it. She wouldn't know what kind of person Lilith was until she saw her with her own eyes.Jade walked briskly ahead,
