Caspian was obviously unhappy. He stood up from the chair and acted in a protective manner. “Mom, is there anything that Dad and I should not be listening to? Jade has just woken up and her emotions are still unstable.” 

Brooke rolled her eyes at her silly son. “I am her mother. How can I not know about her current condition? Besides, it is just a chat. What are you trying to imply? What do you think I am going to do to her?” 

Josh knew that this was the prelude to his wife’s anger. He pulled Caspian out of the ward. 

“Jade, what exactly do you want to do? Why did hurt yourself?” After Brooke returned home from the hospital, she had been tossing and turning on the bed and was unable to sleep. 

Previously, Jade’s extreme actions had indeed disappointed her. However, after living together for more than ten years, she could not bear to totally ignore Jade. 

Therefore, Brooke had made it clear early on that as long as Jade was still the same as before and did not do harm to Ash, she would treat Jade just like before. 

Jade’s eyes welled up with tears, and she started to sob. “Mom, I do not want anything. I just want you to still love me. I just want you not to hate me.” 

“Mom, I am really, really afraid that you guys will not want me anymore. I will be alone again. I really did not want to take what was Ash’s. I was simply too scared.” 

Jade tried her best to hold back her tears. Her voice was choked with sobs, and teardrops hung on her long eyelashes. Her lips were trembling slightly, making one’s heart ache. 

No matter how tough Brooke may be, she could not help but sofen her stance at that very moment. She walked up to Jade, bent from her waist, and put her arms around Jade’s shoulders.“know, I know. Do not cry anymore. You have just undergone surgery and it is not good to be too emotional. 

Jade, as long as you are the same old Jade, I will treat you the same, and you will always be a child of the Turner family.” Brooke rubbed Jade’s head gently and comforted her. 

Jade could no longer hold back her emotions. She laid on Brook’s shoulder and cried out loud, but there was a flash of smugness and ruthlessness in her eyes. 

Everything can only be mine. As for Ash, so what if she was Mor’s biological daughter? 

“Boss, why did the Snider Group suddenly give up on the bidding?” 

Ash took a nap before going to Shadow Ventures to share the good news of Calvert giving up bidding. 

She shook her head. “I have the faintest idea. Why did you call re so many times in the morning? What was the matter? I punish people severely for disturbing my sleep, do you know tha 

“I am sorry. I was wrong. Are you sure you were not awake at the time? But you answered my call William maintained a polite attitude and admitted his mistake when being pointed ou 

I answered your call? When? Didn’t I pick up your call only afted you called numerous times! Are you sure that I answered your call earlier? What did I say? Ash could not recall anything 

William shook his head. “You did not say anything. You picked up the call but did not say anything the entire time. You hung up after that. Maybe you accidentally hit the answer button”

‘If I had really accidentally swiped the screen and hit the answer button, what about hanging up after that? Did I accidentally hang up too? What on earth did I do in my sleep? Why are there so many things that did not make sense? I was not alone and there was no music playing. Is it true that Calvert did not hear anything? 

Ash bit her lower lip. It was very strange to her as there were too many things that did not make sense.
