Semua Bab The Supreme Heiress: Bab 541 - Bab 550

Zoey fell to the side, while Anna strode forward. Zoey didn't care about her own injuries, limping along to catch up.Once the two were far enough away, Jade emerged from the corner. As she watched Zoey leave, she fell into deep thought. She hadn't guessed wrong—there was really something wrong with Zoey and Anna. What was Anna's purpose in getting close to Leah, though?To figure out Anna's intentions, Jade needed to find clues from Zoey."Master, help me look someone up." Jade sent Zoey's photo to Owen.Ten minutes later, Owen came back with information. "Zoey, 45 years old, high school education..."All the information was as ordinary as could be, without any flaws. But the more flawless it seemed, the more suspicious it became.Since Owen couldn't find out anything about her, Jade had to turn to Caelan for help. She called him several times in a row, but he didn't answer. This was highly unusual as Caelan always had his phone with him, even during meetings. Could something ha

Jade felt increasingly agitated as she struggled to push thoughts of Caelan from her mind. His face, with its tenderness, smiles, and indifference, seemed to haunt her every attempt at distraction.Despite her efforts to suppress these memories, they only seemed to grow stronger, pushing her closer to the edge of a breakdown.In a desperate bid to ease her troubled mind, Jade rose from her seat and reached for a bottle of red wine. She poured herself a glass, hastily consumed its fiery contents, and felt its warmth spread through her body, gradually soothing her restless nerves."Wine truly is a wonderful thing," Jade mused, swaying the glass in her hand as she gazed at its contents through blurry eyes, a faint chuckle escaping her lips.With each successive gulp, Jade felt the intoxicating effects of the alcohol taking hold. She sank into the soft cushions of the sofa, her heavy eyelids drooping as she stared blankly at the ceiling above.Memories of her past life flooded her min

"So you tied me up here just to complain about how miserable your married life is?" Jade retorted defiantly. "Well, you've got the wrong person. I have zero interest in your marriage. What I'm curious about is why you've abducted me here."Nina rolled her eyes at Jade and snorted. "I didn't abduct you here. It was Lloyd."Jade looked surprised. "He escaped?""Of course. Did you think I'd leave him locked up in that godforsaken place for the rest of his life?" Nina's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. "But I didn't expect that the first thing he did after escaping was to go to you. I thought he was going to kill you. I never imagined he'd bring you onto the ship."Jade, how did you manage to bewitch him? Even at a time like this, he insists on taking you with him."Lloyd's escape was a dire development for Jade. To make matters worse, he had taken her with him. With the vast sea surrounding them, there seemed to be no possible escape for her."Do you know how much I want to

Jade truly admired Lloyd's intellect. The precision of his plans unveiled the complexity of his schemes, indicating years of plotting. It was evident in the confidence with which he conducted his experiments—he had already mapped his exit strategy.Nina was overjoyed by Jade's surprise. Witnessing Jade's vulnerability brought her immense satisfaction. Jade's pride and self-esteem were now shattered beneath her feet."So, have you made up your mind?" Lloyd asked.Jade thought for a moment before looking up at him. "And if I say no?""You don't have the option to say no." Nina's smile faded, her expression turning fierce. "I won't let someone without value live in this world, especially since you know our secret. Apart from cooperating with us, you have no other choice."With that, she clapped her hands.Soon, someone was brought in and thrown in front of Jade.The person had messy hair and was crawling on the floor, barely recognizable as a woman. What was terrifying was that her

Jade glared at Lloyd. "You're so ruthless for money. Aren't you afraid of retribution?""I don't believe in retribution. Even if it existed, it wouldn't be my turn yet. Let's start the countdown." Lloyd waved his hand, and his bodyguard dragged Neve onto the deck.Besides Neve, there were several other men and women, all pinned to the ship's railing, waiting for Lloyd's command to be thrown into the sea.Neve was scared, but she also longed for release. Even facing death, she stared at the sea in a daze and chuckled.Jade didn't care about Neve but couldn't ignore the innocent people. Time passed, and her heart clenched. If she saved them, more people would be harmed. If she didn't, her conscience would be troubled.Lloyd had presented her with an impossible dilemma."Time's up," Lloyd said calmly and motioned to his bodyguard, who was about to throw Neve into the sea.Jade suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Wait!"Lloyd signaled for the bodyguard to stop and turned to Jade. "Ch
