Semua Bab The Supreme Heiress: Bab 671 - Bab 680

After sitting for over ten minutes, a sudden sharp sound came from the neighboring room, followed by a woman's scream. The voice belonged to Elena, but her scream was abruptly muffled.Jade's heart skipped a beat. She rose and headed toward the adjoining room, only to be blocked by Leo, who looked troubled. "Miss Severin, please don't get involved. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to Mr. Fitzgerald."His expression disgusted Jade, and she felt a wave of nausea. In such moments, she became eerily calm. "So, my life matters but Elena's doesn't? If you're so scared, then just sit here..."Jade paused before slowly spitting out the words, "And continue being a coward.""I..." Leo was stunned by her words. Before he could react, Jade had already kicked open the door to the next room.Though slender, she stood in the doorway with an overbearing presence.The room was filled with smoke and chaos. Seven or eight burly bodyguards stared menacingly at Jade as she

"I'm sorry, Jade. It's my fault. He caught me as soon as I brought in the pepper spray!" Elena sobbed, her fear evident.Ian's vicious reputation was well-known. No star he set his sights on had ever escaped his grasp.Rumors abounded about him destroying a third-tier actress, leaving her with a hysterectomy and a shattered dream of motherhood. His influence was so formidable that no one dared to pursue justice, forcing the poor actress to flee overseas, never to return.Jade offered Elena a gentle smile and replied, "I told you that you would be safe. And you will be."Elena's eyes widened in astonishment. "What do you mean?"Given their dire situation, how could Jade still be joking?No matter how skilled Owen was, he couldn't take on 20 men alone."What bold words."A lazy drawl echoed. Upon hearing it, a smile spread across Jade's face. 'Perfect timing.'At the end of the corridor, a team of black-suited bodyguards appeared, each with muscular, trained builds. Their mere p

Leo had just been slapped, and instead of putting on his usual airs, he held his cheek in guilt. "I had no idea something like this would happen. You were just supposed to accompany him for drinks. How did it escalate into this mess?" His tone implied that Elena was at fault.Jade couldn’t stay silent any longer. Her voice was firm as she shot back, "Do you even count as a person? You knew full well that Ford had been lusting after Elena for a while, yet you sent a young woman to accompany him."Did you truly not know she’d be in danger? Or did you know and still went ahead? Reaching your level of vileness is truly disgusting."Elena's verbal tirade was something Leo might have accepted, but Jade was a different matter. Her opinion represented Caelan’s stance. If she held a grudge against Leo, it would jeopardize the investment.Realizing this, Leo quickly adopted a fawning expression. "Oh, Miss Severin, you misunderstand me. How could I be that kind of person? If I’d known Ian w

"No need for you to step in. It’ll only create more chaos. Leave it to me," Jade reassured her calmly.Elena's frustration was palpable over the phone. "I can't believe someone would be so malicious as to post such nonsense online! If I find out who did it, they’re going to pay.""Whoever is behind it clearly isn't afraid of being caught. Otherwise, they wouldn't have bothered to slander me," Jade replied with a hint of indifference, her hands busily searching for study materials.Elena, worried, asked, "Are we just going to let them get away with this?"Concerned about Jade being hounded by this issue, Elena feared it would cause her more trouble.Biting the end of her pen in thought, Jade studied an anatomy chart and responded nonchalantly. "How could they? They can't really harm me. If I let myself get worked up over every little thing like this, I'd be exhausted all the time. The best approach is to ignore it. They'll stop once they see it doesn't bother me.""I hope you're r

Jade realized the gravity of the situation—if the drafts leaked, Melanie’s sleepless days and nights would be in vain. With this on her mind, she hurried out and found the dean, Jeremiah."Mr. Lowe, I need to ask you something," Jade said, her usually calm demeanor replaced by frantic urgency. Even in the face of disaster, Jade typically remained composed, but today, her eyes were wild with panic, her voice trembling."Jade, take your time and tell me what's wrong," Jeremiah said, his heart pounding with anticipation of some catastrophic revelation.Jade took a deep breath, her expression turning grave. "I need to know if anyone has entered my dorm room and taken anything from it. It’s crucial to me."Jeremiah sighed in relief. From his perspective, what could a student possibly have that was so important? He answered lightly, "No one has been in there except the police for the investigation."In truth, he was hiding some details. The scene had been chaotic, and before the police
