Jade was about to leave for the set.

She deliberately went to a side door, trying to avoid seeing the scene of Jade being enveloped in love. She did not expect to meet Calvert when she went out. It was obvious that she was quite excited.
Calvert’s expression was aloof. He glanced at Jade indifferently and hummed faintly.
“How have you and Ash been recently? What happened to her neck? Is it serious?” Jade asked gently.
Calvert kept a certain distance from her. To outsiders, the two of them were just talking normally. He said, “She’s your sister. Why don’t you ask her yourself?”
Jade was stunned and looked embarrassed. “I… I haven’t found a suitable opportunity yet. There are too many people who care about her. I need to go back to the set now.”
“You can just ask her. She should have the time to answer. There aren’t many people around her now. You can always have a chance to ask. Calvert did not have any other meaning. He was just stating the truth.
Jade bit her lower lip gently. “I… I’m too stupid. I’m always afraid of disturbing them. I’m afraid that if anything goes wrong, it will ruin something. I don’t know when I started feeling this way, but I seem to have become more and more stupid.”
Jade scratched her hair and smiled bitterly and awkwardly.
She sighed slightly, her gaze fixed on Calvert. “Calvert… You’re my brother–in–law now. I really want to apologize for what happened before. At that time, I failed to control my emotions well. My mentality wasn’t good and I made a mistake. I know that what I did was wrong. I don’t dare to ask for your forgiveness. I just hope that you can be fine together. That way, I’ll be satisfied.”
Calvert’s expression remained aloof and distant. He turned slightly and glanced at her. “You have your own life. You don’t have to keep tying others to you. Don’t mention the past again. It’s meaningless.”
After saying that, Calvert slowly walked to the other side and picked up the phone.
Jade stood rooted to the ground. Her eyes were watery as she sniffed and thought, ‘Calvert never treated me like this before. I almost became the Snider family’s young madam…‘
“Jade, when did you come back? Is your wrist better? Has it been hurting badly recently?” Caspian rushed back after receiving a call from Brooke.
He met Jade, who had walked to the gate. However, he was in the car and Jade was walking.
Jade’s eyes were slightly red. When she saw Caspian in the car, she forced a smile. “Caspian, what brings you back? Are you here to see Ash?”
“What’s going on? Are you crying? Where are you going? I’ll send you off first.” Caspian had indeed come back to see Ash. His feelings for Ash had always been awkward.
Jade pretended to be strong and waved her hand. “It’s fine. My assistant has already driven over. I’ll be back to the set later. Hurry up and go in. Ash’s injuries are quite serious. Really, just go in, Caspian. I’m not a child anymore. My assistant will be
here soon.”
Jade insisted that she was really fine.
Caspian hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. “Alright then. You have to be careful. Don’t use too much strength on your wrist. You still need to recuperate. Also, call me immediately if anything wrong happens.”
After saying something to instruct Jade about her wrist, Caspian drove through the gate. The expression on Jade’s face

immediately turned gloomy. Her docile look was instantly gone.

Jade’s assistant glanced back through the rearview mirror and asked, “Jade, we might have an itinerary to go to Gawkin. We’ll be staying for about a month. What do you think?”
Jade closed her eyes to rest. Her expression was indifferent when she said, “What about the scene here? Will you film it for me? Who arranged this itinerary?”
The assistant was silent for a moment. “This… was arranged by the company. This variety show in Gawkin has been popular in the country for a long time. The company spent a lot of effort to get it for you. Many big shots are participating.”
The assistant could only bite the bullet and say, “How about you work overtime for the next week to coordinate the scenes with the production team?” She was indeed helpless.
With the pressure from the company and the lack of cooperation from Jade, the assistant felt that she was greatly troubled.
Jade slowly opened her eyes and met the pair of eyes that were filled with fear and uneasiness in the rearview mirror. Her voice was as gentle as usual. “So, you mean that you can coordinate with the production team? If you can handle it well, then let’s do as you say.”
Jade snorted. Although the show she was filming was currently a short drama, the director was famous for being harsh.
In order to enter this production team, Jade had spent almost a million dollars. She couldn’t believe that she was required to end it in a hurry.
She did not know what the company was thinking.
The assistant quickly shook her head. “Jade, this… no matter how much you flatter me, I can’t do it. Why don’t you negotiate with the director?
“Actually, many fans want you to participate in the show in Gawkin. Coincidentally, some popular young actors will participate in it. When the time comes, you can even create a fauxmance with one of them, which will bring traffic. Then, you can work on it.”
There was a hint of mockery in Jade’s eyes. “Alright, I’ll listen to your arrangements from now on. You’ve got quite a nice plan. If I can’t work on it in the end, you’ll bear all the responsibility.”
The assistant wanted to say something, “Jade…”
“That’s enough. Don’t talk about anything else. I don’t know if you are tired, but I am.” Jade closed her charming eyes again. Her emotions were complicated.
She was thinking, ‘Currently, the company I’ve signed with is actually under the Turner family. Clearly, Brooke has not fulfilled her promise to me previously. Otherwise, why would I need to work so hard now? Gawkin is a poor city. Brooke actually has the heart to let me go there. Since I’m not her biological daughter, she just doesn’t feel sorry for me at all. How realistic.
Brooke sneezed and quickly distanced herself from Ash. “Honey, you’d better stay away from me. Don’t let my cold spread to you.”
“Mom, you just sneezed. Is it that exaggerated?” Ash was amused. She felt that her mother could be considered a drama queen to a certain extent.
Brooke looked very serious. “How is it exaggerated? Your neck is already injured. If you catch a cold, it will affect you, so you have to be careful.”
Initially, she did not want to ask too much, but after all, it involved her daughter’s marriage. After thinking about it, she felt that it was safer to ask, “What’s going on between you and Calvert? Why do I feel like the two of you have suddenly become distant? I heard from Mrs. Snider that the two of you were on a business trip together. What exactly happened? Did you quarrel?”

At the mention of this, Ash was quite annoyed, “Nothing much happened. He’s aloof, to begin with. We’re… fine in private. Don’t worry.”
