The servant looked troubled. "Mrs. Gemma said that if you don't see her, she'll kneel outside the door indefinitely."The Severins were currently in the spotlight. If Gemma knelt outside, it would definitely attract the paparazzi."Grandma, why don't we let her in and hear what she has to say?" Jade suggested. Gemma was desperate, so when pushed to the edge, she could be capable of anything.Leah thought for a moment and said, "Let her in."The servant led Gemma in. She was wearing a headscarf, sunglasses, and a mask, so she was completely covered. She was no longer the glamorous woman she used to be.As soon as she entered, she knelt down and sobbed uncontrollably. "Mom, please save me.""What are you doing?" Leah was displeased with Gemma's actions. "If you have something to say, say it. Kneeling like this will make others think I've mistreated you."Gemma stood up and took off her sunglasses. When she raised her head, she saw Jade and a hint of astonishment flashed in her e

Jade would never believe that Gemma would truly repent, but she couldn't say that to Leah. She could only say vaguely, "Grandma, why don't we observe her for a couple of days before coming to a conclusion?"With the enemy in the dark and herself in the light, Jade was in a passive position. If Gemma stayed under Leah's nose, every move she made would be scrutinized."Okay, let her stay here for a couple of days," Leah said, not believing that Gemma could undergo such a drastic change in character either.Gemma busied herself in the kitchen, but unfortunately, she didn't know how to do anything and made a mess of things. Afraid of annoying Leah, she went to clean the house.Her humble attitude made the household servants shake their heads. Jade suddenly understood that Gemma was taking a step back to move forward. She was playing the emotional card."Jade, why don't you try on that dress for me?" Leah was now completely focused on Jade's engagement ceremony. Though it wasn't real,

This time, no matter what happened, Jade wouldn't let Gemma succeed. She was determined to let Gemma reap what she had sown....The news of Caelan's engagement had already spread throughout Centus.On the day of the engagement, the elites of upper society all came to congratulate them, making it a grand occasion.Jade sat in the lounge and looked down from the second floor, seeing that the guests were all either rich or influential. Prominent figures from the business world and politicians were both present, showing the Fitzgeralds’ status in the city.Kennedy was wearing a suit, looking spirited with Caelan by his side as they chatted with the guests.Jade saw Melvin among the guests. He seemed very confident today, unlike his usual submissive self, and he kept basking in the compliments of the crowd."Congratulations, Jade." The door of the lounge opened and Neve walked in wearing an elegant princess dress.She had a fake smile on, mixed with many complex emotions—jealousy,

Neve looked at Jade's icy gaze, her eyes widening as she was suddenly struck by a realization.Could she have ingested the drink that was laced with the aphrodisiac?"Surprised, Neve?" Jade squatted down, her gaze frosty. "As long as you trick her into drinking the stuff, I have a way of making you Mrs. Fitzgerald."Neve panicked, looking at Jade as if she were a monster. "How... How do you know what Mom told me?"These words were exactly what Gemma had told Neve, instructing her to trick Jade into ingesting the aphrodisiac, but now Neve herself had fallen victim to it.As the effects of the drug began to take hold, Neve felt a rush of heat throughout her body, and fine beads of sweat started forming on her forehead. Even her voice took on a seductive tone."Because I know everything you've done," Jade said deliberately.Gemma had tried to sabotage her engagement banquet by drugging her, planning to have Neve take her place as the center of attention that day, just like she had

"It concerns the reputation of the Fitzgerald Group. If you don't want to listen, I won't force the issue. I just want to remind you that once the scandal breaks, it will bring the Fitzgerald Group to ruin," Gemma said confidently."What exactly are you trying to tell me?" Caelan asked coldly."Jade is having an affair with another man, and the scandal will soon be exposed. The only one who can save the Fitzgerald Group now is Neve. As long as Jade's not the focus of the day, the Fitzgerald Group won't be affected," Gemma said appeasingly. She didn't dare provoke Caelan, as she couldn't afford the consequences of angering him.Now, she had to pin all the blame on Jade, preserve Neve's position, and let Neve take over. After all, Jade was already done for, and the Fitzgeralds knew how to make the right choice.Caelan smirked mockingly. "Are you trying to threaten me?""No, I'm not. I wouldn't dare. Everything I've done is for the sake of the Fitzgeralds. Of course, with my own inte

Jade, who should have been in the room, was nowhere to be found. Instead, her beloved daughter, Neve, was there."Get away, you scumbag!" Gemma went crazy and lunged at the two people on the bed, pulling the man away from Neve and wrapping her tightly in the blanket.Neve was still under the influence of the drug, and the sudden emptiness dissatisfied her. She struggled out of Gemma's embrace and pounced toward the man, mumbling, "Don't go, I want more."Gemma wished she could die right then and there. She couldn't understand why Neve had ended up there, even though the drug had been meant for Jade.What on earth was going on?"Get out, all of you!" Gemma roared at the people standing at the door, feeling like she wanted to die.It was only now that Caelan relaxed slightly. He had also thought that the person inside was Jade. Seeing that it was Neve, he instantly understood what was going on."Mrs. Severin, is this the scandal you were talking about? The one that would affect th

At this point, she covered her mouth in surprise and pretended to be afraid. "Could someone have spiked the drinks?"The fact that the older sister had brought food laced with drugs at the younger sister's engagement ceremony was just too sensational.Gemma panicked now that her counterattack had failed. "Jade, don't speak without a conscience. Your engagement is a big deal for the Severins. Neve was really happy. How could she have harmed you? She knew you were getting engaged and she even asked me to give you a diamond bracelet. How can you turn against your sister when she treated you like this?"Gemma had a knack for distorting right and wrong. She captured perfectly the pained expression of a victim, and her performance even made the reporters present hesitate.Her acting skills would probably give a movie star a run for their money."Mom, why are you so agitated? I just said that someone spiked the drinks, but I didn't say it was Neve, did I?" Jade lowered her eyes, feeling

The reporters were sharp-tongued, and every question hit a sore spot in Gemma. It was something she didn't want to face but had to.Gemma panicked, helplessly watching as everyone pointed fingers at her, vehemently denying it all. "It's pure nonsense. Regardless of whether Jade is my biological daughter or not, I raised her. A marriage alliance with the Fitzgeralds would only benefit the Severins. What reason could I have to do such a thing? If you keep spreading rumors, I'll sue you."After a brief moment of panic, Gemma got her bearings. Even though Neve had been caught red-handed, Gemma would still try to spin the situation in her favor."Even if Neve added something to the drinks, who can find proof that it was an aphrodisiac?"It had to be said that Gemma was eloquent, and the reporters were all left stupefied by her words."Proof? Are you talking about this?" Caelan, who had been coldly watching Gemma's theatrics, finally spoke up.He opened his palm, revealing a bottle. "I
