"Who would be shameless enough to steal Melanie's drafts? If I find out who did it, I'll make sure they regret it!" Jade fumed.The loss of Melanie’s design sketches felt worse than losing a limb. Jade was overwhelmed with heartache and hadn't dared to inform Melanie, fearing how she would take the news.Noticing Jade’s distress, Julian felt an unspoken heaviness in his chest. He feigned a light-hearted demeanor, patting his chest as he reassured Jade, "Don't worry. I'll find a way to get Melanie's drafts back."Jade cast a weary glance at him. "And how exactly do you plan to do that?"Her words deflated Julian's confidence, leaving him unable to offer a viable solution.As Jade walked on, Julian trailed behind, shamelessly asking, "Jade, where are you heading?""To the hospital," she replied curtly.They had been back at Clotheap University long enough for Melanie to start suspecting something. Rather than let her imagination run wild, Jade decided it was better to come clean.

Tiffany placed the freshly cut apple into Melanie's hand, her eyes crinkling in a reassuring smile. "What's the rush? When has Jade ever let you down? Just focus on taking care of yourself and rest your head.""Oh," Melanie replied, nodding absently as she took small bites of the fruit. A persistent throbbing in her temples and a wave of dizziness left her visibly uncomfortable.Just then, Jade walked in, juggling several bags filled with nutritional supplements."Melanie, I’m back," she announced cheerfully.Melanie's face lit up as she set down the fruit. "Jade, you're finally here! Did you bring my drafts?"Jade's smile faltered as she approached Melanie with a hesitant expression. "Melanie, I’m so sorry. I couldn’t find your drafts. They might be lost.""Lost?" Melanie's face turned a shade paler, though she forced a smile. "How could they be lost? I clearly saw you place them on the table.""I’m really sorry. I even checked the university's surveillance, but, unfortunately,

"Enough of your nonsense! Who do you think you are to negotiate with me?" The stout woman brusquely brushed aside Hera’s hand, her voice seething with anger. "Get your boss here immediately, or be ready to face a lawsuit.""My boss will be here soon, but can you please let the doctor treat Becky’s wounds first? If we delay any longer, her face might be permanently scarred."Hera was sweating profusely. Becky had already been taken to Centus Hospital, but this woman was refusing treatment, insisting she wouldn’t stop causing a scene until Tiffany showed up in person.A doctor, frustrated by the commotion at the entrance, stepped out and said sternly, "This is a hospital, not a place for arguments. If you have issues, resolve them peacefully, but don’t disturb my patients. This girl’s wounds are deep. If not treated immediately, the consequences will be on you."His words were directed at the woman, who remained unfazed, letting out a cold snort. "If there are consequences, the dance

"Miss Jade, about the compensation..." Rita regretted asking for too little and was about to discuss a higher amount with Jade when Jade’s phone rang. She motioned for Rita to sit down, then took the call outside.The door closed with a thud, leaving Rita alone in the spacious and bright office. Her heart skipped a beat. Could Jade be planning to run? But looking around at the high-end decor, she dismissed the idea as impossible.She had downed a pot of coffee, yet Jade hadn't returned.Rita started to feel restless. What kind of phone call lasted half an hour?Rising to her feet, she stepped outside to check if Jade was still there. To her surprise, two tall, burly security guards were standing by the door. Politely, they guided her back inside."Apologies, Miss Severin asked you to wait here."Although puzzled, Rita reasoned that Jade might have some important business to attend to and didn't mind too much.Someone came in with another pot of coffee, the same high quality as b

If Jade didn't give in, Rita would make a huge fuss. 'These rich folks are terrified of lawsuits, but someone with nothing to lose doesn’t have to fear those who do.'With this in mind, Rita stiffened her resolve and began to wail as she made her way out.Jade and Julian stood in place, watching her performance.Rita, puzzled by Jade’s lack of reaction, was caught off guard when she heard voices outside the door."Officers, the person you’re looking for is inside. Please come in," a voice said as the door opened.Two police officers, escorted by a security guard, entered the room.Upon seeing the police, Rita instinctively tried to run, but her legs were too weak from fear to move."Are you Margarita Despp?" one of the officers asked sternly.Rita nodded dumbly. Before the police could question her further, she blurted out, "I didn’t mean to hurt anyone. I just wanted to scare my daughter. Who knew the mirror was so flimsy? It fell at the slightest touch."As she finished spea
