Caelan swiftly deleted the photos and pulled Jade into his embrace, then raised the phone to snap a picture of them together. The shutter clicked several times, capturing a few flawless shots.Jade took the phone, astonished at the results. The composition of the subjects and the background was perfect in both color and angle. "Caelan, your photography skills are amazing," she said, her admiration genuine and unfeigned. Her delight was evident, making Caelan feel pleased. "I won first place in the National Photography Golden Image Award."Jade gazed at him with awe. "Wow, you’re really that good?"Suddenly, she felt a sharp tap on her head and yelped, rubbing the spot. With a frown, she looked up at Caelan. "Why did you hit me?""You’re overacting," he said bluntly, seeing through her little ploy.Jade chuckled. "Did I get caught?"He merely shrugged and guided her back to her seat.Jade picked up her fork and knife, resuming her meal while Caelan watched her with a tender e

Jade's friends knew she couldn't handle her liquor, yet Bella ordered her the strongest cocktail. The intentions were clear.Caelan frowned, disapproving of the gesture, but he didn't make a scene. Instead, he leaned toward Jade and softly reassured her, "Don’t force yourself. I’ve got you covered."Caelan's words immediately put Jade at ease. As long as he was around, she didn’t need to worry about her drinking capacity. Even if she ended up drunk, Caelan would ensure she was taken care of. She flashed a gentle smile at him, her dark eyes sparkling with happiness.The cocktail arrived, and the server placed it in front of Jade."Give it a try," Bella urged, taking a swig of beer and exclaiming, "Drinking at a bar is the best! The atmosphere alone is invigorating!"Jade, determined not to give Bella the satisfaction of seeing her falter, took a cautious sip and immediately wrinkled her nose. "No, this is too much for me. Better give it to Caelan."She slid the drink over to him,

Jade couldn’t tell if Bella was just pretending to be drunk or genuinely intoxicated. Every word she uttered dripped with a sorrow that cut deep. Who would have thought that beneath her glamorous exterior lay a myriad of bitterness and humiliation?Jade’s brow furrowed. She didn’t want to be enemies with Bella, but Bella had humiliated her repeatedly, forcing her to retaliate. Seeing Bella in this state stirred conflicting emotions within her."Enough. Stop drinking." Jade intercepted Bella's hand as she reached for another bottle, her voice stern. Jade wasn’t a saint, but she wasn’t heartless either. If Bella continued drinking like that, she was bound to get into trouble."Leave me alone," Bella snapped, her strength unexpectedly fierce as she pushed Jade away. "You just want to see me make a fool of myself. Well, here you go! Tomorrow..."Bella pointed a shaking finger at Jade, laughing bitterly. "Tomorrow, every media outlet will have pictures of me drunk and disgraced. That’s

Bella was in such excruciating pain that she could no longer speak. The situation was critical, and there was no time to lose."Prepare for surgery immediately," Jade said gravely to the doctor. "Please help me get the patient to the operating room."The doctor, looking conflicted, glanced at Caelan, who gave a subtle nod. Resigned, the doctor gritted his teeth and began arranging the surgery.Still uneasy, he called upon a few experienced assistants to join Jade in the operating room. Jade understood that the doctor didn't trust her abilities, but saving Bella’s life was the priority, and there was no time for debates.She was determined to prove her competence through her actions rather than waste time on pointless arguments.The doctor, though still worried, watched Jade closely, ready to take over her work if necessary.However, once inside the operating room, the doctor quickly realized his concerns were unfounded. Jade's skilled techniques were impressive—not only did she

Jade smiled gently as she greeted Elena and Leo one by one. "Sorry to keep you waiting.""No, no, we haven't been here long," Elena replied, her eyes scanning the area behind Jade, searching in vain for Caelan. A hint of disappointment crept into her voice as she added, "Did Mr. Fitzgerald not come with you?"Their primary purpose was to meet Caelan, so not seeing him dampened their spirits a bit. Jade's eyes sparkled with a bright light as she offered a soft smile and said, "Something came up at the company. He’ll join us a bit later.""Oh, I thought so. Mr. Fitzgerald would never miss an appointment," Elena said with a palpable sigh of relief.If Jade had not given her this reassurance, how could she maintain her standing before Leo?As they settled into their seats, Elena handed the menu to Jade. "Order whatever you like."Jade, aware of the courtesy, decided to reciprocate by ordering a few dishes that Caelan particularly enjoyed.Noticing the selection was rather light, E
