Chapter 599 I'll Be Waiting
Jade clocked out from Jeneration Group once she was done with her work. There was barely anyone out and about
in the streets anymore. She sighed and was prepared to hail a taxi when a white luxury car stopped before her. Her
expression fell the moment she recognized it.
The car doors opened, revealing a man and a woman Jade knew very well.
"What are you doing back in Bardoff City, Jade Weston?" The woman asked, hooking her arm around the man.
Jade sneered. She was Maria Biscotti, her best friend, once upon a time. The man she was holding was none other

to divorce Hayden without taking even a cent for alimony, and even made her leave the city.
Jade ignored them and walked off, but the two swiftly caught up with her. Hayden even grabbed her wrist, dragging
her back. "You said you'd never come back to Bardoff, Jade. What are you doing here now? Having second
thoughts?"
Jade bristled, tossing his hand off and glaring at him. "What I do is none of your business."
"I let you off easy those years ago because you promised never to return to the city. So what else would you be
doing here except searching for your death?" Hayden snorted.
Jade sneered. "Let me off easy? Should I be grateful to you?"
If it weren't for Jade's years of loyalty and hard work, Hayden wouldn't have established such a successful company
and been so influential today. He ended up having affairs outside their marriage and even found himself a mistress
in the form of Jade's once-best friend, Maria.
The two then messed with her until Jade was forced to leave, heartbroken. It was then that she came to Orchid
Village to rest, meeting Jenny and her grandfather there. Their companionship and care helped her slow recovery.
That was the reason she decided to return to Bardoff City with Jenny. She wanted to repay the kindness Jenny had
shown her.
As for Hayden and Maria, Jade guessed she might see them again. Still, she wasn't afraid of them anymore. She
had only been hurt those years ago because of her absolute trust in them. Now, that was not the case.

longer that young, naive girl Jade had called friend. Now she was clad in silks and leather, showing off her wealth
and power.
All that should've belonged to Jade.
Jade chuckled. These two were still as shameless as ever. "I'll be waiting for what you come up with, then," she said
and shrugged. She'd decided to stay and strengthen Jeneration Group. It would send a message to these two
people that she did have what it takes—just not the patience needed to deal with them.
Meanwhile, Hayden wasn't so ready for Jade to leave. He had done his research on her before coming to see her.
Hence, he knew she was working at a fashion design company like his. It worried him, as he knew Jade's capability.
In truth, he was scared the company she worked for might overtake his.
