Jade gave Melanie a faint, confident smile. She never engaged in anything she wasn't sure of. This time, she would see how thoroughly she could humiliate Theodore.Melanie was still worried. Experts had stated that the underground situation was complicated. How could an outsider like Jade be so certain she could rescue her father unharmed?Everyone followed behind Jade, curiosity evident on their faces. They were eager to see how she would manage the rescue. Could a young woman really have such remarkable abilities?Upon arriving at the scene, all the personnel were already in place, awaiting the order to commence the rescue.A bespectacled worker approached Jade. "Miss Severin, based on our observations, although the underground conditions are complex, the structure is quite stable. The collapse occurred in a dead corner, forming a narrow space inside..."The technical jargon made Melanie's head spin. She interrupted anxiously, "Excuse me, but I just want to know if my father is

The overwhelming emotions suffocating Shane left him gasping for air. He picked up a cigarette, lit it, and took a slow drag.Theodore watched him, eyes wide with surprise. Shane rarely smoked, and only when something deeply troubled him did he take a puff.'What is bothering him today? Is it the bet I have with Jade?' But Theodore dismissed this thought quickly. 'Shane is usually carefree and won’t dwell on such things.'If it isn’t about the company, then what could it be?' His gaze fell on Melanie, and his heart skipped a beat. 'Could it be because of that young woman?'He had assumed Shane was just playing around, but seeing him now, Theodore’s expression grew serious.…The rescue continued into the night, and finally, there was good news."They have found them."Those four simple words thundered through the crowd like a bolt of lightning.Melanie’s sinking heart leaped with hope. She rushed towards the scene without hesitation, with Jade hurrying behind her.The site wa

Jade watched Melanie accompany John to the hospital and then turned back to find Theodore. In the office, Theodore wore a defeated expression. He had hoped to slip away quietly amidst the crowd, but Jade had already set people to watch him, blocking both the front and back exits. Unable to escape, he had no choice but to return to the office."Mr. Bancroft, you seem to have something urgent?" Jade sat leisurely across from him, her smile broad and eyes twinkling, while Theodore's brows furrowed tightly.As it turned out, Jade was more capable than he had anticipated. He had thought she was just bluffing, but she had actually managed to achieve her goal. Now he had no choice but to keep his promise and agree to one of Jade's requests.Theodore didn’t beat around the bush. "What exactly do you want me to do? Just say it. As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll do it."If her request was reasonable, he would comply, but anything beyond his capability was out of his control.Theodor

Despite getting an undeserved benefit, Theodore felt his chest tighten with frustration, almost causing him to cough up blood. Jade was clearly using the Fitzgerald family to pressure him."If you have any demands, just state them." Theodore sighed in resignation, his voice weak and defeated. He had already decided that as long as Jade's demands were not too outrageous, he would grit his teeth and part with more money to settle the matter."Actually, what I have in mind is..." Jade paused, her gaze filled with meaning as she looked at Theodore and smiled warmly. "I want to help you fulfill a dream."Theodore was intrigued and unable to contain his curiosity. "Fulfill a dream for me? What do you mean by that?"He was skeptical of Jade’s sudden shift from a wager to fulfilling dreams. Only a fool would believe her at face value. His anxiety grew, unsure of what scheme Jade was plotting, and sweat began to bead on his forehead and trickle down his cheeks."Yes, fulfill a dream for yo

Patricia was contemplating ways to extinguish Shane's infatuation, but Jade's proposal aligned perfectly with her intentions. Becoming the Bancrofts' goddaughter would ensure that Shane gave up his hopes."Mom?" Shane looked at Patricia in astonishment. "Don’t you dislike Melanie? Why would you want to take her in as your goddaughter?"Patricia shot him a look and replied, "Do I have a choice in the matter? Your father lost a bet. It's not just Miss Severin's request. Even if it were more outrageous, we would have to agree. The Bancroft family is a prominent one. We uphold our promises. If we go back on our word, we'll be the laughing stock."Shane was rendered speechless. Patricia's words sounded noble, but only he knew what his parents were truly like. When it came to money, pride was easily discarded. Naturally, he dared not say this out loud and could only grumble inwardly.Realizing he couldn't persuade his mother, Shane turned to Theodore, hoping for his support. "Dad, do y

The doctor had barely left when Rebecca dared to appear. While watching Melanie curled up on the chair, Rebecca's eyes shifted. A fake smile spread across her face as she sat beside her.In a voice dripping with false kindness, she said, "Melanie, dear, I know you're a filial daughter, but you must consider the situation. Your father needs a lot of money now and will need even more in the future. You should try to understand our situation and help out a bit, don't you think?"Hearing Rebecca's voice made Melanie's stomach churn. This stepmother of hers was selfish, greedy, and malicious. If it hadn't been for Rebecca's mistreatment, John's health wouldn't have deteriorated like this.Clenching her fists inside her sleeves, Melanie struggled to contain her anger. She replied coldly, "I haven't asked for a single penny from the family all these years. On the contrary, I send money home every month. Meanwhile, you do nothing but play cards or loaf around. When you're out of money, you

Rebecca was resolute about not leaving. She sprawled on the ground, rolling, wailing, and hurling accusations at Melanie with the harshest words she could muster. "I've raised you for so many years. Even if I haven't done much, I've still toiled! How could you treat me like this, you ungrateful girl? Let everyone judge this! Oh, it's truly hard being a stepmother!"Melanie watched her coldly, unimpressed by Rebecca's ability to distort the truth."Say whatever you like. Fairness resides in people's hearts."Just then, several police officers pushed through the crowd."Who called us?" one of them asked.Rebecca was stunned by their arrival. She had assumed Melanie was merely bluffing and hadn't expected her to actually call the police. Trembling, she scrambled to her feet, her limbs weak with fear. If Melanie accused her of attempted murder, she would have no way out."I did." Melanie stepped forward, addressing the officers, "I want to report her for attempted murder."Rebecca h

"Big gift?" Melanie asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"She was already worried sick about her father’s medical expenses and had no time to play guessing games with Jade.Patricia, smiling kindly, stepped forward. "Melanie, there have been misunderstandings between us in the past. It was all my fault. I owe you an apology."Melanie looked at Patricia in shock, thinking she must have lost her mind. This was the same woman who had previously looked like she wanted to tear her apart. How had she changed her tune so quickly?"Yes, yes, I was also in the wrong. I didn’t teach my son properly," Theodore added and glanced at Shane, who was scowling nearby. "Ungrateful boy, apologize to your sister right now.""Sister?!" Melanie felt like she was dreaming. It was strange enough that Patricia was acting out of character, but even Theodore was behaving as though he had been hit on the head."Wait, wait." Melanie hastily waved her hands to interrupt them, forcing an awkward smile as she
