At that hour, it was surprising to still see someone around.Jade looked toward the source of the sound, her eyes landing on a Range Rover parked not far away. A man stood by the door, waving at her."It's you." Jade raised an eyebrow in mild surprise, not expecting to encounter Orion there. Their previous brief meeting hadn't suggested they'd run into each other again so soon.What puzzled Jade was why he was there. Was it intentional, or merely a coincidence?Orion gestured toward her car with his chin, smiling as he asked, "It seems your car has some trouble. Do you need a ride?"The parking lot was deserted. Leaving from here would mean taking the elevator back to the main building, which was quite a hassle.Not wanting to waste time and curious about Orion's intentions, Jade smiled and said, "Thank you, I'd appreciate it."Orion opened the car door with a gentlemanly gesture. "At your service, miss."His humor and charm would likely endear him to many girls, but Jade was a
The Range Rover came to a slow halt by the roadside, its headlights casting a shimmering glow across the vehicle's surface. The car door swung open.Jade stepped out in her high heels and took her place by the curb. The evening breeze tousled her long hair, sending a soft strand fluttering in the air. It accentuated her graceful and charming appearance. Orion remained seated inside, momentarily mesmerized by her elegant figure. "Thank you," Jade said politely, standing by the roadside. "Goodbye. I’ll treat you to dinner sometime."Snapping back to reality, Orion quickly caught the implication. "When?"Jade paused, a little taken aback by his eagerness. Collecting herself, she replied, "Whenever you’re free.""Alright, I’ll hold you to that." With a charming smile, Orion started the car and drove away slowly. In the rearview mirror, he saw Jade standing there for a moment before turning to walk back the way they had come. Orion let out a quiet chuckle, muttering to himself
"Don't worry about it. I have my ways. Just make sure you come," Chenelle said, her tears giving way to a soft smile and a tender tone."Alright, I'm heading over now."…A few minutes later, the Range Rover pulled up to the back entrance of a villa.Orion sat in the car, a cigarette nestled between his fingers, exhaling smoke as he stared at the building. His eyes flickered with a hint of resentment.The Fitzgerald Group now stood at the pinnacle of success, but how much blood had paved their path to glory? They were now among the elite, while those trampled underfoot were left to their fate.He tossed the cigarette butt out the window, trying to calm his emotions."Orion!" A petite figure scampered over, hurriedly opened the car door, and slipped inside.The strong scent of perfume filled the vehicle, causing Orion to frown in discomfort. Although he masked it well, Chenelle, always observant, noticed."What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Chenelle's face darkened. Orion would
Chenelle stared at the tiny hedgehog keychain for a long time before she finally deciphered the letters on it.JS stoof for Jade Severin!'This keychain belongs to Jade. No wonder it looks familiar!'The realization that this was Jade's property made Chenelle's eyes flash with malice. She clenched her fist and raised her hand, ready to throw the keychain away.However, her hand froze mid-air, and she pulled it back.A sinister plan formed in her mind, a scheme that would bring Jade to ruin."My things are not to be touched. Anyone who dares will pay the price."Slowly retracting her hand, Chenelle carefully tucked the keychain into her pocket and quietly returned to her room....Jade arrived home and pulled out her keys to open the door. As the weight in her hand suddenly lightened, she realized the tiny hedgehog was missing. This was a gift from Caelan, one she cherished deeply and always kept close. How could it simply vanish?Panicked, Jade began pacing. This gift held gr
Actually, what she wanted to ask was what Caelan had been up to these days. If it was business, he would have called her.Kennedy hesitated for a moment before replying, "He's just been handling business affairs. He's probably very busy. That rascal didn't call me either. Don't worry, Jade. He's not the type to act recklessly."Kennedy's words brought some comfort to Jade. She put down the phone and encouraged herself, "Grandpa is right. Caelan isn't the kind of man to do something out of line. I should trust him."They had been together for so long. If they didn't have even the most basic trust, what future could she talk about with Caelan?Once she figured this out, Jade felt a weight lift off her shoulders."This is the first birthday I'm celebrating with Caelan. I have to prepare a special gift for him."Jade propped her chin on her hand, deep in thought. What kind of gift would make this birthday especially meaningful for Caelan?After thinking for a long time, she still co
Melanie and Tiffany were caught off guard, both getting sprayed right in the face.The three women froze for a moment.Melanie's eyes widened like walnuts as she stared at the wet spot spreading across her chest. She let out a sharp scream, "Jade, ah..."This was her brand-new outfit, just worn for the first time, and now it was ruined.Tiffany and Jade exchanged glances and burst into laughter. The fabric on Melanie's chest had become so transparent that her undergarment was clearly visible."Melanie, I didn't know you had such a figure," Tiffany teased.Melanie's initially angry face brightened up, a proud look replacing her scowl."Of course! I may not beat you two in other areas, but here..." She deliberately puffed out her chest and declared with pride, "You two definitely can't compete with me."Seeing the conversation veering off course, Jade quickly intervened, "Stop, stop, stop. We're not here to compare chests today. Didn't we agree to help me come up with a gift idea
It was the first time Hade had ever heard of giving a gift and including oneself in the package."I had the room key sent to your company via courier. It should arrive tomorrow, so make sure you pick it up," Tiffany said, heading toward the kitchen. "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving.""Same here, same here," Melanie echoed, following closely behind. She could never resist the mention of food.The two of them rummaged through Jade's kitchen, eventually finding some meat and vegetables, and began cooking.Jade let them have their way in the kitchen while she sat on the sofa. She rested her chin in her hand, contemplating the gift.In fact, this plan wasn't entirely unreasonable.She and Caelan were truly in love and should have been together long ago.Thinking of it this way, she began to look forward to Caelan's birthday.…The next day.Jade went to work as usual, but unlike the previous days, she was brimming with energy and excitement.A faint smile graced her lips a
Chenelle's face twisted with jealousy, her eyes filled with venom as she glared at Jade's office building. She wished she could burn Jade's company to the ground.Why did Jade have everything? Why did she get to be happy while Chenelle lived like a beggar?The resentment drove Chenelle mad—she couldn't stand to see Jade and Caelan living happily together. If she couldn't have it, she would ensure Jade couldn't have it easily either.Glancing at the hotel room key card in her hand, Chenelle memorized the room number and then called the hotel. "Hello, I'd like to book a room.""Which room would you like, miss?" The receptionist's voice was friendly and polite.Gritting her teeth, Chenelle replied, "I want Room 2021.""I'm sorry, miss, but Room 2021 is already booked. Perhaps you can choose another room?""I want Room 2021, and I'll pay ten times the price."There was a brief silence on the line before the receptionist responded. "Alright, miss. Room 2021 is now reserved for you.
