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,

Jade noticed the sudden change in Tiffany’s expression and felt a pang of anxiety."What's wrong? Tell me slowly," she urged."I just received a message from my assistant, Hera," Tiffany replied, her voice trembling. "One of the indoor mirrors fell and hit some of the students. A few have minor injuries, but one girl’s face was cut by the shards.""Her face?" Jade’s heart sank. Every woman cherished her appearance, and with a mirror that large falling suddenly, the situation must have been terrifying. A cut on the face could be serious trouble.Tiffany, still a young student with little experience handling crises, was visibly shaken. This was more than she could handle."Yes, and I heard it's quite severe. What should I do, Jade?" Tiffany's voice wavered with panic.Jade took a deep breath, regaining her composure. "We’ll head over there right now and see what’s happening. Panicking won't help anyone."Tiffany nodded quickly, grabbing her bag and phone, ready to leave.Jade sto

"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

The middle-aged woman's harsh words grated on even the mild-tempered ears of Hera. But knowing she couldn’t afford to provoke this woman, she leaned closer to Jade and whispered, "Miss Severin, be cautious. This woman is notoriously difficult."Jade nodded slightly. She had deliberately delayed her appearance to gauge what kind of person the victim’s family was. There are ways to reason with reasonable people and different ways to deal with those who are not.The woman before her clearly fell into the latter category, so there was no need for Jade to be courteous. She produced a business card and handed it to the woman. "Here’s my card. Please review it. As for the compensation, just name your price, and we will comply."The woman's eyes lit up at the mention of money as if she had seen a mountain of gold. She thought for a moment, then held up five fingers. "I want this amount—500,000 dollars."After saying that, she sneaked a glance at Jade, feeling a bit nervous and unsure if th

"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

When Jade returned to the office, Rita greeted her with the relief of someone seeing a savior. She let out a long sigh and said, "Oh, Miss Jade, you’re finally back. If you didn’t come, I was going to wet myself…"She abruptly shut her mouth, glancing awkwardly at Jade, who had a light smile on her face. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Rita stammered, "S-So, can I get the 500,000 now?"Rita’s eyes gleamed with greed as she stared at Jade, almost ready to snatch the money from her hands.Jade took a seat on the sofa opposite her.Julian stood beside Jade, handing over a document with a feigned seriousness. "Miss Severin, according to the doctor, although Becky’s facial injuries are severe, the likelihood of scarring is minimal with proper treatment. I’ve totaled all the expenses, and it comes to around 100,000 dollars."Julian’s words left Rita stunned. She screamed, "What? Only 100,000 dollars? Didn’t you promise me 500,000 dollars?!""Ms. Despp, you can’t say it like that," Julian sa

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
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 691
Jade carefully placed the items on the bedside table next to Becky, pulled up a chair, and sat down. With a gentle smile, she asked, "Do you feel any better now?"Becky’s injuries weren’t limited to her face—they were all over her body.While the wounds on her face were more numerous and seemed alarming, they were completely treatable and would heal with time. Given her young age, her ability to heal was strong, and the likelihood of scarring was minimal.The doctors had already explained these possibilities to Becky, and she understood them well. Upon seeing Jade’s comforting smile, Becky’s guard lowered slightly, and she nodded softly. "Thank you."As Becky spoke, she kept glancing out the window, as if fearing something.Jade followed her gaze but saw no one outside. She quickly realized what was troubling Becky. "Are you afraid your stepmother might come in?"At the mention of Rita, fear washed over Becky’s face. She nodded, then quickly shook her head, denying it. "No, my
