The Supreme Heiress Chapter 729
Shane glared at the security guards, dismissing them with a wave of his hand.Obeying the command, the security guards retreated to the side.Melanie quickly headed outside. With no news for so long, she couldn't wait any longer.She ran all the way to the accident site, and the scene before her nearly caused her to break down. She had assumed that Shane had already arranged for a rescue operation, but after most of the day had passed, there was no sign of any rescue efforts on the construction site.The machines that should have been working were all idle, and there were no rescuers present."What is going on?" Melanie screamed, turning back to leer at Shane with a fierce expression. "Shane, how dare you lie to me?"She lunged forward, attempting to hit Shane, but the security guards blocked her.Shane was equally stunned. He had clearly ordered a rescue—how could the scene be like this?Melanie's curses and sobs made him irritable. He tossed away his cigarette and kicked the

As they conversed, a shrill voice suddenly pierced the air. "Melanie! How dare you cause a scene here? Are you trying to embarrass us even more? Come home with me this instant!"Melanie turned around, her expression shifting from surprise to a deep, visible irritation. Her brows furrowed as she faced her spiteful stepmother, the last person she expected to see here."What are you doing here?" Melanie asked, her tone cold and indifferent.With one hand on her hip and the other jabbing an accusatory finger at Melanie’s face, Rebecca snapped, "What else can you do besides cause trouble? Do you even realize where you are? How dare you create such a scene here?"After her tirade, Rebecca’s face abruptly morphed into an obsequious smile as she turned to Shane. "My apologies, Mr. Bancroft. I’ll take her away immediately. I promise she won’t trouble you any further."Rebecca reached out to grab Melanie’s wrist, but Melanie dodged, glaring at her. "What do you mean by this, Ms. Gibbon?"A

Melanie walked ahead, completely unaware that Rebecca was about to strike her from behind.As the stick neared her head, a large hand appeared out of nowhere, intercepting Rebecca's blow."Hey, who are you?!" Rebecca demanded.The stick was firmly held by the stranger, and despite her efforts, she couldn’t budge it. Panicking over the promised money, she yanked hard, only for him to let go deliberately, causing her to fall backward into the mud.With a loud cry, Rebecca landed in a puddle, her body covered in black mud, looking utterly ridiculous."You bastard! Who do you think you are? You think you can get away with this? I'll sue you for every penny you've got!" she shrieked.Her curses fell on deaf ears as the man ignored her, treating her like she didn’t exist.Rebecca, like a clown, was completely disregarded."Owen?" Melanie was surprised to see Owen suddenly appear. His presence brought her an incomparable sense of relief and strength.With Owen here, Jade must be near
The Supreme Heiress Chapter 732
Suddenly, it all made sense. No wonder Owen was so audacious, daring to stride onto the Bancroft family's turf and boss everyone around—he was connected to the Fitzgerald Group.'It appears that Melanie, that spiteful girl, has some real skill. She has managed to latch onto such a prestigious family. That means she is on the fast track to fortune and fame. Just a mere request from her, and even the smallest favor from the Fitzgeralds will sustain us for a lifetime!'"Melanie, Melanie." Rebecca beckoned from behind a pillar, completely forgetting her earlier intent to harm Melanie.Melanie turned a cold gaze toward her, showing no sign of compliance. "Why are you still here?""How can you talk to me like that? I'm your father’s wife. Where else should I be?" Rebecca replied with a sycophantic grin, her demeanor fawning and ingratiating.Melanie looked away in disgust, unwilling to engage further. "I can handle everything regarding my father. You can leave now."She wanted Rebecca

Under the astonished gaze of Shane, Owen made a decisive gesture and issued a command, "Initiate the rescue operation immediately."The bodyguards swiftly executed his order.It took Shane a moment to regain his composure. Was Owen’s subordinates actually taking over the Bancroft family’s territory?"Owen, how dare you?!" Shane blocked Owen’s path.This was no longer just about the rescue—it was about his dignity and reputation. If he allowed Owen to give orders on his turf, how could he hold his head high in the future?The moment Shane made his move, his own bodyguards acted, surrounding Owen with menacing looks, ready to strike at Shane’s command.Owen scoffed disdainfully. "What’s this? Have you lost interest in saving lives?""Don’t twist my words," Shane retorted helplessly. "Our company has already dispatched people for the rescue. Who do you think you are to interfere?""Well said, my son!" A resonant voice echoed.Shane looked up to see Theodore entering. His arrival

Faced with no alternative, Theodore had no choice but to comply, feeling as if he were being pushed into a corner."What’s the matter, Mr. Bancroft?" Owen asked politely. "If it’s a financial issue, please don’t hesitate to speak up. The Fitzgerald Group won’t stand by and do nothing. Before I came, Miss Severin and Mr. Fitzgerald explicitly told me that if the Bancroft family needs help, the Fitzgerald Group will be there without question."Owen's grand declaration made it seem like the Bancroft family was on the brink of bankruptcy and seeking assistance from the Fitzgerald Group.Theodore’s face darkened, his throat constricting with emotion, yet he couldn't utter a single word. Although the Bancrofts weren't as powerful as the Fitzgeralds, they had been established in Centus for a long time and had considerable financial strength. To imply that the Bancrofts were facing financial difficulties was a stain on his reputation.Melanie stared at Owen in astonishment. Normally reserv

Under the Fitzgerald Group's pressure, Theodore finally relented after much deliberation."I want to speak with Mr. Fitzgerald in person."His request was promptly denied by Owen. "I’m sorry, but Mr. Fitzgerald is very busy and doesn’t have time to meet with you."The Fitzgeralds had cut off all of Theodore’s escape routes, leaving him only two choices: comply with the Fitzgerald Group or face bankruptcy.Taking a deep breath, Theodore asked Owen, "What exactly do you want from me?"His willingness to bow down showed he recognized the severity of the Fitzgeralds' influence. Owen replied with a serious expression, "Begin the rescue operation and save the trapped workers.""Is it really worth making such a big fuss over those few workers?" Theodore squinted, his gaze sharp and ruthless.This conflict with the Fitzgeralds was now inevitable—he was determined to retaliate given the chance."Of course, it’s worth it." A crisp voice suddenly interrupted, startling Theodore. He turn

Jade's meaning was crystal clear: if Shane bullied Melanie again, she would make him pay.This time, targeting the Bancroft family was precisely because of this.Jade's gaze was icy, sharp as a blade, sending chills down his spine."I didn't bully her! On the contrary, she bullied me! Look at these injuries!" Shane revealed the wounds on his body to Jade, trying to prove he wasn’t lying.Theodore's face turned livid with anger, cursing himself inwardly for raising such a useless son.Melanie scoffed, retorting, "I don't provoke unless provoked. Shane, if you hadn't messed with me, would I have hit you?"Jade pulled Melanie back. "Now's not the time for this. The most important thing is to save lives."Melanie nodded, positioning herself behind Jade.Jade turned to Theodore and asked, "Mr. Bancroft, can we proceed with the rescue now?"Theodore’s expression was stony, his teeth gritting. "The Bancroft family never said we wouldn't rescue anyone. It's just that the underground s
