Bait Jade West 소설 & 이야기

"Really?" "As true as it can be." "Then it's a deal. You can't go back on your word now." "I won't," I promised. I continued packing after we hung up. All of a sudden, something came to mind. I opened the innermost drawer of my wardrobe to reveal a small box. Inside it was a necklace—the first gift Caleb had ever given me. I took it out and looked at it for a few seconds before placing it back where it belonged. What was in the past should remain in the past.

She made her way to a payphone—a relic in the modern city—and dialed a number that had been burned into her memory from her mother’s notes. "Baba?" she asked when the line connected. "It’s Jade. The daughter of the Phoenix. I’m coming to the clinic. Clear the back room. I have the fire, but the wolves are behind me." Back at the villa, the silence was broken by the sound of a glass shattering against the floor. Caspian stood in the security room, his face a mask of pure, unadulterated fury. On the screen, the GPS tracker for Jade's car was a flat, dead line.

After that, Zacheus said in a somewhat pleading tone, “Carmen, can you get involved in this matter on my account and give the person in charge of the Wade family in Aurous Hill a call to ask about this?” Carmen hesitated for a moment before saying with some uncertainty, "Okay… Then, I’ll ask about it and find out what the situation is.” “Okay!” Zacheus heaved a sigh of relief and he hurriedly said, “By the way, Carmen, don’t you like jade? I asked someone to help me buy an imperial green jade bracelet from a Burmese. It has already been sent to Eastcliff. Why don’t you come to see it when you have some time so that you can try it on?”

Just to make sure that she was properly compensated. By now, the rain had already stopped. Gerald first drove to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. Once he was done signing the documents, he headed for the jewelry shop in Mayberry Commercial Street. “Boss! I’d like to buy a jade bracelet!” It had taken him a while, but he finally found a jade bracelet similar to Giya’s. “Good sir, that jade bracelet is made from excellent hetian jade. It is very expensive, are you sure you want this?” asked the salesgirl, a professional smile on her face.

"Isabella, I heard you learned how to fight in prison. Why don't you give Elena a show? If you can make it lie down obediently, you get a hundred grand tonight." "A hundred grand…" I murmured. I stared at the restless beast. Its eyes were bloodshot, a low growl vibrating deep in its throat. This wasn't entertainment; it was a gladiator match. But I couldn't walk away from that money. I took off my jacket, revealing arms mapped with scars and fresh bandages from the ballistic test earlier that afternoon. "Deal." I had barely taken two steps when the Rottweiler went berserk. It broke free of the leashes and lunged at me with a thunderous roar.

“How about you all go wash your hands, and I’ll take you to the kitchen for cookies?” Jade giggled, her light brown hair matching and her green eyes sparkling like her mom’s. She was undeniably striking, beautiful in a way that made everyone around her melt. Jade was six, Jay a year older, and Liam, the oldest at nine, was an orphaned wolf Gahn had found scrawny and trembling at the edge of the estate one day. Dahlia wandered through the dark forest, the quiet easing her nerves. She was working up the courage to tell Gahn she wanted another child.

Jay, “...” “Daddy needs to take care of Mommy,” said Jay. Baby Robbie and Jens looked at one another… Jay looked at the two engraved precious jade emblems and said something else to lure them, “They’re still good pieces of stones. So one day, if you guys are having a hard time and have no other options, you can sell them and it’ll be enough for you to live on for quite some time.” Jenson, “...” Baby Robbie, “...” “Can’t you say something nicer, Daddy?”

“Jade, come and eat some fruits. You have a bright future now that you’re the President of Great West Real Estate.” “Aunt Samantha, don’t mention it. I’m just a worker. The owner is someone else,” replied Jade humbly. Samantha proudly replied, “It’s the same isn’t it, just like Lily here? She’s holding a managerial level in the Lyndon family’s business, which also means she’s making money for the family.” Jade smiled and was about to reply when Darryl walked into the hall. After reading for a whole evening, his eyes felt dizzy. He was really happy to find out that the Bicolor Flower was indeed a treasure. It was the key ingredient for many elixir types.

“Bai Hu. The Lord of Fuxi, protector of the West.” “The white tiger.” Jin nodded. “If we are to summon one of the holy beasts, Bai Hu is our best bet. Have you made up your mind?” Jade had almost forgotten about the decision she had to make. Now that she has seen Bai Hu, the legend didn’t sound as far-fetched as she thought. Besides, she needed to get home. No matter what it takes. With her jaws set and eyes fiery with determination, she nodded. “Yes. Let’s go find Bai Hu’s stars.”

Jade on the other side just lifted his thumb finger up in agreement as he opened the driver's seat door and drove off to the directed location that Bella had shared with him. Initially Jade had asked Bella for assistance, he wanted her to recommend him the best bar that has beautiful ladies, he had told her that he wanted to proof himself that he was not gay, and Bella had really done a good job in finding him one, the only thing that he had to do was find a good woman for himself for the night.
