Chapter 4

I understand Jaxon well. He also wanted to settle scores with Jade. Over the past few years, he had spent several million dollars on her, more or less. Now that he's had a car accident, Jade hasn't even shown her face. That's not really acceptable. Jaxon is no saint.

I secretly let a mocking smile play on my lips.

After getting out of the hospital recently, I started planning my revenge. I paid someone to find a male model online... I took out a million dollars to carefully package him as a super-rich heir.

I had him flirt with Jade, instructing him to get her no matter the cost. The model confidently promised to complete the mission.

Under the fierce attack of gifts and money, Jade couldn't resist the temptation and took the bait quickly.

After all, she must be pretty tight on cash lately. I heard my dad took her and her mother to rent an apartment, and it's in one of those old neighborhoods without even an elevator.

The difference between heaven and earth - I imagine she must be having a hard time with it.

I arranged for that guy to meet Jade tomorrow at a cafe I know very well, and then I gave the address to Jaxon.

Jaxon set out, and I secretly followed him in my car.

Having not been out for a long time, Jaxon seemed a bit irritable. The pity and sympathy in people's eyes made him want to lash out and break things.

Upon arriving at the cafe, he sat in his wheelchair, and the driver pushed him inside.

As soon as Jaxon entered, he saw Jade and that male model kissing passionately. He called out loudly, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Jade! What are you doing? Who is he?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Jade quickly pushed away from the male model. Seeing Jaxon, she hurriedly stood up from the model's lap, flustered.

"Jaxon my honey? Why are you here?"

Jaxon glared, pointing at the male model, his emotions causing his chest to heave violently.

"Why am I here? I've been in a car accident for so long, where have you been? Why haven't you said a single word of concern? Tell me who he is!"

"He's..."

"Jade, is this the ex you mentioned who was in a car accident and almost died? Well, looks like he's not dead after all. Oh, seems he's just crippled now."

The male model stood up, his arm around Jade's waist, looking down at Jaxon with disdain.

Jaxon's anger, already close to erupting, was successfully ignited.

"What did you say? Do you have a death wish? Do you really think I can't end you just because I'm disabled?"

"Isn't it true? Aren't you crippled? Then why don't you stand up and show me! You talk as if I'm afraid of you! Jade, seems like your taste in men isn't so great. To think you'd go for a guy like this."

Jaxon forcefully grabbed a cup from the table and hurled it at the male model. The cup smashed against the wall next to them, sending shards flying, cutting the model's face.

"Jaxon, what the hell are you doing? Are you insane?"

Jade yelled at Jaxon before quickly turning back to anxiously press a tissue against the model's injured face, her eyes brimming with concerned tears.

"Kael, are you okay? This is all my fault, I'm so sorry..."

Jaxon watched as Jade cried, her face a picture of distress. He gritted his teeth, his expression darkening.

"Jade, I'm giving you one last chance. Come here now, and I'll let this slide..."

Jade didn't even turn her head, her delicate hand still gently pressing the tissue to the model's face.

I looked at the situation - it had reached the exciting part, and it was my turn to make an entrance.

I slowly walked in from outside the door to behind Jaxon, and asked him hesitantly,

"Jaxon... do you know her? Is she that friend of yours?"

"Prudence! What are you doing here?"

Seeing me appear, a hint of panic flashed in Jaxon's eyes.

"I was just curious to see what kind of person stole my father away... You still haven't answered me, how do you know her?"

I glanced back and forth between the two of them, as if suddenly realizing,

"The illegitimate daughter is Jade? She's my half-sister?"

I stared at him wide-eyed, with a look of disbelief, unable to hide the despair in my eyes.

Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes as I forced,

"Jaxon, have you betrayed me too?"
