Semua Bab The Supreme Heiress: Bab 421 - Bab 430

Sophie looked pale as she grabbed Jade's hand emotionally. "Where is Kayden? I want to see him."Seeing her distressed state, Jade hesitated to tell her about Kayden's plight."Please let me see him?" Sophie pleaded pitifully.Jade softened and agreed. "I can arrange for you to see him, but his situation is quite complicated right now. You should prepare yourself mentally.""He must have suffered a lot."Kayden had been locked up in a mental hospital for six months, so just the thought of it was horrifying. No one could endure living in such a place, not even for a month."Alright, I'll take you to see him now." Jade turned to Sophie and advised her. "Whatever you see, stay strong."Her words made Sophie even more anxious, but she nodded tentatively. "Okay, I promise."As they walked out, the maid who had been waiting for Sophie outside walked over. "Madam, are you feeling unwell? You look very pale."Sophie shook her head, feigning nonchalance. "No, I just didn't sleep well.

Sophie held a hand over her chest, looking panic-stricken as she stared at Jade. "Are you saying that Kerrigan won't let Kayden go? Is that it?""Didn't you see it for yourself already?" Jade hinted.Kayden had been tortured to a deplorable state. Wasn't that the most compelling evidence?"Ms. Severin, rest assured. I understand what you mean. You can trust me. I won't let him succeed." Sophie, who was a clever person, quickly grasped Jade's intentions.Jade hadn’t gone to such lengths to find her in vain. What Jade wanted was for Sophie to buy her time by holding off the Zeals for Kayden’s sake."Alright, thank you." Jade smiled with a newfound appreciation for Sophie in her eyes.No wonder Kayden liked Sophie. Who wouldn't love such an intelligent and devoted woman?After Sophie left, Stella expressed her concern. "Are you really confident about letting her deal with Kerrigan alone? He's a ruthless man."There was a hint of reproach in her tone that Jade caught. With a faint

Lloyd looked to Kerrigan for help, and Kerrigan signaled to him not to worry. "Listen to Sophie. Besides, it's been a long time since we've gone on a trip. Let's take this opportunity to have some fun."Since he put it that way, Lloyd had no reason to argue further. He forced a smile and accepted Sophie's proposal.When Jade learned that Sophie had managed to get Kerrigan and Lloyd out of Centus with this trick, she smiled. She hadn't misjudged Sophie after all. Now, she would make sure Kayden was focused on recuperating without worrying.The next day, Jade went to the grocery store early in the morning. She had promised to cook for Caelan as a thank-you gesture, so she couldn't go back on her word. Knowing that Caelan was very picky, she carefully checked the packaging when selecting vegetables to ensure they were fresh. She also picked out some meat and fruit, then decided to get a bottle of fine red wine from the winery.After buying everything, Jade went home and started prepar

Once Kennedy had displayed enough authority, Jade stepped forward and offered Warren a way out. "Grandpa, have you had a bit too much to drink? Mr. McAuley is in his 40s now. Why are you still scolding him like a child?"Kennedy pretended to be confused. "What? In his 40s?""Yeah, almost 50 soon," Warren said aggrievedly, looking at Jade in gratitude for intervening. Without her help today, he would have been in for Kennedy's nagging.Kennedy grunted with a slightly intoxicated air. "Even if he's 60, I'll still discipline him. This brat thinks he can act tough before me just because he's grown up."He reclined on the sofa, half asleep with his eyes closed. He appeared drunk but actually used intoxication as an excuse to speak his mind freely.Jade pulled Warren and Merida aside and asked, "What brings you both here to see me?"Having already given up the idea of picking a fight with Jade, Warren spoke politely. "Tiffany hasn't been home for a while, so we came to check on her."

With the McAuleys' issues resolved, Jade's mood was great. The feeling of being surrounded by love was wonderful—she was immersed in it, unable to extricate herself.As anticipated, no one troubled her in the ensuing days. Although she had expected the Zeals to return in a few days, Sophie unexpectedly fell ill, delaying their comeback by nearly half a month. Jade knew that Sophie was doing this intentionally, to buy time for her.Kayden's health showed steady improvement daily, a remarkable feat despite his incomplete recovery to normal standards. Yet, his unwavering determination to survive remained his greatest asset.Initially, he was able to consume only half a bowl of solid food but pushed himself to finish a full portion. Moreover, he devised his own exercise routine, displaying a resolve surpassing that of the average person.…"Kayden." Jade appeared in the hospital room with her hands behind her back.At the sound of her voice, Kayden swiftly turned his gaze toward her.
