Tiffany pinched Melanie hard. "What do you mean 'hasn't moved on yet'? She never even had the chance to move on, and now you're rubbing salt in her wounds."Hearing Tiffany's words, Melanie looked down, feeling upset. Her heart ached for Jade more than anyone else, but matters of the heart were beyond her help.Their commotion had drawn a crowd, and a sales assistant approached with the clothes, asking cautiously, "Would you still like to purchase these items?"Jade snapped out of her daze, feeling a mix of bitterness and sorrow. Forcing a smile, she replied, "Yes, please wrap them all up."The assistant sighed with relief, quickly packing the clothes Jade had picked and those Melanie had tried on into elegant shopping bags.As they left the mall, Jade maintained a faint smile, but Tiffany and Melanie were both visibly downcast. They were not foolish—they could tell Jade was putting on a brave front. However, since Jade didn’t bring it up, they refrained from mentioning anything t

Elena felt a bit uneasy at the remark. "What do you mean by 'see you again'? Have we met before? Are we that familiar?"The warning in her eyes was obvious.Jade knew she was afraid she might bring up Elena's drunk driving incident from that day.Jade shook her head. "Miss Bennett, I'm sure you know the purpose of our visit today. We are really grateful for your help. Without you, we wouldn't have gotten this far."Jade showered Elena with praise, making her somewhat overwhelmed.Elena's attitude visibly softened, but she still looked at her warily. "Alright, alright, just get to the point."Jade smiled faintly. "Do you know when we can meet Director Tolo?"The longer they waited, the more likely something could go wrong.A flash of discomfort crossed Elena's face. After a brief pause, she said, "I came to tell you about that. You might not be able to see him today.""What?" Julian stood up abruptly, pointing at Elena. "Are you playing with us? We've been waiting for half an h

The security guard started calling for backup while speaking into his walkie-talkie. Jade and Melanie had no choice but to step forward.Jade addressed the security guard, "We're not bad people. You don't need to be so nervous."The guard stared at Jade with suspicion, but just then, a clear voice echoed. "What are you doing? How dare you chase away my friends?"Jade looked up and saw the stylish Elena approaching. It was no surprise that she was a celebrity—Elena's aura and presence were impressive.She rolled her eyes and glared at the guard.The guard, knowing the celebrity's influence, didn't dare to provoke her further. He quickly apologized to Jade and Melanie, "I'm sorry. I must have made a mistake. Please, ladies, don't be upset."Jade didn't make things difficult for the guard and nodded, signaling for him to leave."Thank you, Miss Bennett." Jade understood that without Elena's intervention, they would be in trouble now.Elena raised an eyebrow in acknowledgment o

Julian and Jade were walking back together when Julian received a phone call. Without any explanation, he left Jade behind and rushed off.Jade was relieved to have some free time and drove home by herself.…At 5:00 p.m., dark clouds covered the sky, signaling an imminent heavy rain.Just as Jade pulled up to her house, large raindrops began to fall.Expecting to get drenched, she was surprised when an umbrella appeared over her head, as soon as she stepped out of the car.Startled, she looked up to see Caelan standing in front of her.His brows were furrowed deeply, and his eyes held an intense, unreadable emotion as he looked at Jade. It was as if a thousand words were condensed into that gaze.Jade hadn’t expected him to be waiting for her at the door and was momentarily at a loss for what to do. She sat frozen in the car, unsure whether to get out or stay put.After a long silence, Caelan finally spoke. "Are you planning to sit there and get soaked?"The rain was getting

Jade sat on the sofa, listening to Caelan's words. When he reached a certain point, she couldn't help but interrupt, "Wait a minute.""Hmm, do you have a question?" Caelan asked.Jade bit her lip and asked, "How did you know I went there?"She distinctly remembered not running into Caelan. To avoid him, she had even pulled Melanie to hide.So how did Caelan know?Caelan raised an eyebrow casually and said, "I saw your car, as well as you and Melanie coming out of the studio. Director Tolo called me afterward, saying he would consider Chenelle's work. If she doesn't come up with a satisfactory design, he won't use it."'So that's how it is!'Jade let out a sigh of relief and glanced outside at the rain, which had lessened.It was getting late, and it wasn't appropriate for Caelan to stay any longer. She decided to hint for him to leave. "The rain has lightened, maybe you should—"Before she could finish, the room suddenly plunged into darkness, followed by a thunderous boom.J
