The Supreme Heiress Chapter 686
"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

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

If someone had extended a helping hand to Becky when she was younger, would her destiny have been different?Becky stared at Jade in shock. Realizing what had happened, she got out of bed and knelt on the ground, bowing repeatedly. "Miss Jade, I will never forget your immense kindness. As long as I am alive, I will repay you."Seeing Becky perform such a grand gesture, Jade hurriedly pulled her up. "What are you doing? Get up, please."Jade helped Becky to her feet and seated her back on the bed."I don’t seek repayment," Jade said gently. "Just live well and make the most of your life—that’s the best thanks you can give me."With tears brimming in her eyes, Becky nodded emphatically. "Thank you, Miss Jade. I promise I will live well."Leaving the hospital room, Jade felt a weight lift off her shoulders.After settling Becky’s issue, it was time to update Tiffany."Hello, Tiffany." Jade’s call was answered almost immediately, and Tiffany’s anxious voice came through. "How did i

Ernesto glanced around to ensure no one else was present before nodding solemnly at Jade.He then pulled his phone from his bag, locating a photo that he showed to Jade.Jade took the phone with a puzzled expression, scrutinizing the image of a chaotic scene where students crowded her dorm room to watch the commotion.At first glance, the photo seemed inconsequential, but upon closer inspection, Jade noticed something significant.Although the photo was hastily taken and incomplete, Ernesto had inadvertently captured Jade's desk from an angle that revealed the absence of the drafts.Looking at the students in the room, most appeared curious about the interior, except for one who was exiting with her head down, seemingly holding something.Since only the back of the person was visible, Jade couldn't confirm if she was the thief who had stolen Melanie's drafts. She only noted that the young woman had long hair and no other distinguishing features."Can this serve as a clue?" Ernes
