Thaddeus was drinking with Corvus and Benji. Smoke filled the private room in the clubhouse.Benji stood up and turned on the ventilator, complaining to Thaddeus, who was smoking on the sofa silently. "Quit smoking. You're suffocating us."It had been a while since the three friends got together, and Corvus and Benji were forced to breathe secondhand smoke courtesy of Thaddeus."All right. Tell us what happened. Did you get dumped by Jessie?"Benji knew that there was nothing that piece of shit Thaddeus couldn't solve at work. He had to be acting gloomy because of his relationship. Since he looked so lonely, he must have gotten dumped.Corvus took a sip of his beer. "Don't worry, Thaddeus. We're just looking for someone. Unless she doesn't go online, there'll be information about her activities. If I find anything about her online, I'll let you know as soon as possible."Corvus was different from Thaddeus and Benji. He had made his fortune through his startup. He brought his busi

When Jessamine woke up the next day, she was surprised to see a suit jacket next to her legs. She looked around, but Thaddeus was nowhere to be found.Suddenly, Zade called, and she quickly answered the phone. "Jessie, something big has happened."Jessamine hurriedly asked, "What happened?""Yesterday, someone has dealt with the man who threatened Amy. He was brought to the police station with three broken ribs. He was charged with rape, voluntary manslaughter, and robbery. He'll probably get a death sentence. "Also, the decision about the case of your car accident yesterday has been overruled. Two police officers are being investigated for harboring criminals. It seems like someone is standing up for you."Jessamine knew who was behind it, but Zade didn't mention anything about Amy. Therefore, Thaddeus dealt with everyone who harmed her but left the mastermind off the hook.Jessamine knew that he had seen the video and did this to alleviate the slightest hint of guilt he felt.

When Amy opened the door and saw Thaddeus standing outside, her expression shifted. "Ted… it's you?"Thaddeus strode inside her home. "Who else would it be?"Amy remained silent. Thaddeus could tell she was nervous.She tugged her pajamas to cover the red mark on her chest that the madman made last night. She was afraid that Thaddeus would misunderstand. However, he had already noticed those slight movements of hers. "You'll never see that man again."Amy felt numb at his words. "What man?"She didn't know what Thaddeus knew. She had always been careful and only called that man over late at night or early in the morning. Did Thaddeus find out?Thaddeus didn't answer her question. Instead, he stood up and walked to the door. He recorded his fingerprints on the scanner and changed the passcode to the original."Don't change your passcode anymore!" he ordered.Amy was too scared to speak. "Ted, I–"Thaddeus looked at her sullenly. "From now on, call me Mr. Holt or Thaddeus."A

Thaddeus always had no choice but to bring Jessamine with him. After work was done, she insisted on eating pasta together. When they walked past a stall on the street, she spent tons of money on a bracelet. After they went home, she put the bracelet she had bought from the street into the same cabinet as the luxury jewelry he had given her. It disgusted him.Thaddeus returned to his senses and hummed in assent. Then, he ordered, "Spread the news. The bigger the commotion, the better. We'll compare our guest list with the guest list of the jewelry exhibition in Westro a few days ago. Our biggest suspect will be the one who attended both events."Jordan went to carry out Thaddeus' orders.…Meanwhile, Jessamine came across the news about Holt Jewelry's charity auction. It would be held in three days, and all their earnings would go toward building schools in the mountains. The auction would be at Zenville Auction Center.She opened Twitter on her phone and saw the statement Holt J

Jessamine wasn't bragging in the slightest. She really had those things in her cabinet. That was one of the perks of being with Thaddeus during these three years. She would get the first model of Holt Jewelry's products.Amy's expression turned pale, then red. She wanted to mock Jessamine, but she didn't expect her to win against her. But soon, she composed herself and maintained her expression."That's not necessarily the case." She raised her right hand, her three-carat diamond ring shining under the light."Ted gave me this ring. I designed it myself, and he monitored the craftsman as they made it. It's one of a kind, the only ring in the entire world. Ted put this ring on my finger when they finished crafting it, and it's still warm. Do you want to look at it?"Jessamine felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw the ring on Amy's finger. He had promised he would solve the problem with Amy, but she didn't expect him to solve it like this. He even bought a ring for Amy.Even s

Just as Jessamine and Shane were struggling, two more distinguished customers arrived in the store."What a coincidence! We meet again," Amy greeted them with a smile as if their unpleasant encounter downstairs hadn't happened.Sasha became excited when she noticed the dress on the mannequin in front of Jessamine. "Amy, this gown really suits you. Do you want to try it on?"The sales assistant said hesitantly, "This lady saw this dress first."Jessamine didn't really want to buy this gown. More importantly, Amy probably wasn't tall enough to pull off wearing it, either. So, she said, "Let her try it."The sales assistant sighed in relief and apologized profusely to Jessamine before taking off the dress and giving it to Amy. Those who could afford to shop in a store like this were usually wealthy ladies. A sales assistant like her couldn't afford to upset them.Jessamine wanted to see how this dress would look on Amy.Amy went to the fitting room and walked out a while later, hol

Jessamine chuckled and said, "Of course."She calmly took out the black card from her bag. It was the first time she had taken it out after taking it a few days ago. With a beep, the transaction was complete.Amy glared at the card in Jessamine's hand, looking as if she wanted to destroy both her and the card.She had seen Thaddeus use that card to buy something not long ago. But after a few days, Jessamine had it. They already signed the divorce agreement, so why would he still give that card to that bitch?Ever since Thaddeus spent the night drunk at Islington Apartments, he promised to give her an explanation for things. But until now, he still hadn't done anything. He even spoke harshly to her on Jessamine's behalf just because she had done something minor. They didn't need this much time to get a divorce.Amy became angrier the more she thought about it. Was it possible that he had feelings for this bitch? She remembered Yvonne telling her that Jessamine might be pregnant

"M-Mr. Holt, are you talking about our store's signature dress?"Noah nodded. "Yeah, bring that out."Jessamine and Noah exchanged a few words. In just a few minutes, Leah returned. She carefully held a box with both hands like a fragile treasure."Why don't you try this?" Noah motioned for Leah to hand the dress to Jessamine.It would be rude to refuse his hospitality, so Jessamine went into the fitting room again. When she came out and stood in front of the mirror, she was shocked by what she saw.She usually wore light-colored clothing. It was her first time wearing something in this style.The black dress formed a perfect contrast on her beautiful skin. It just so happened that she was too lazy to wash her hair and put it up in a bun, so she didn't know if this hairstyle went well with this gown.Noah raised an eyebrow, his eyes never leaving her. "What do you think? Does it suit you?"Jessamine cleared her throat and answered truthfully, "Absolutely."The material of this

Thaddeus was dumbfounded. Why hadn't he considered using blood types to eliminate the possibility first?"My dad has type O blood."Jessamine's stroked his Adam's apple softly and deliberately. "My mom has type B blood, and I have type AB blood. Do you think it's possible that we could be long-lost siblings?"Thaddeus thought for some time and couldn't help but burst out in hearty laughter. It was impossible for someone with type B blood and someone with type O blood to have a child with AB type blood. What was he worrying about?At that moment, he couldn't believe how foolish he'd been. Biology was his best subject in school, yet he didn't think about this until Jessamine reminded him. His biology teacher would be furious if they knew."Why didn't you say so earlier, Jessie?" He regretted not talking to her about it sooner and ended up suffering in prolonged silence by himself.After Jessamine got bored touching his Adam's apple, she started playing with his rough chin. "I just

Jessamine lay still for a long time, aware that Thaddeus was also awake, battling insomnia just like her.This visit to Zenville to solve one mystery ended up bringing her an even bigger one.The gathering took place years ago in the restaurant owned by Benji's family. She had even asked Benji about it. The surveillance footage from over 20 years ago wouldn't be around now, and even the staff had changed several times. The restaurant's manager from back then had left the job many years ago.It wasn't easy to uncover the truth from back then unless they found the people who were directly involved. The closer they got to the truth, the more pressure she felt.By investigating this matter now, she was essentially peeling back the layers that had been hiding a much deeper issue. As she confronted the dark side of human nature, the ultimate victim ended up being her beloved mother.If Jessamine didn't look into this matter, she felt like she would be letting Elizabeth down. She wanted

Thaddeus frowned immensely at his request. "Don't be ridiculous!""I'm serious. You could help me rent one too. You know, the kind that charges by the day. I'll fool my dad first. We'll deal with everything else once he gets better," Benji said.Thaddeus cursed inwardly, "Dude, don't drag me into this, especially with my wife watching. It sounds like you're implying I have ways to get or rent women."Thaddeus glanced back at Jessamine and said, "I don't know about this. You should ask someone else. If you're at your wits end, go ask one of the assistants in your company to help you out."Benji seemed to come to a realization. He said, "It's getting late. You all should go back and rest. There are doctors here. I'll stay and keep watch."Jessamine asked, "Can you handle this on your own, Mr. Moore?""Sure, thank you… all of you," Benji replied.After saying a few more words of comfort, Jessamine and Thaddeus went downstairs to the car. Thaddeus' phone started ringing again."Mr.

Maya also knelt by the bed and started crying."Dad, don't speak for now. Please be okay."Benji zoned out. Seeing Carmen and Maya crying, his mind was in a mess. He realized that he couldn't continue to live aimlessly—his family needed him now."A girlfriend, a girlfriend..." he mumbled, not even sure of what he was saying.The doctor hurried to the room upon hearing the call, checked on Jonathan again, and then sent the family away."The patient needs rest and should avoid additional emotional stress. You all can wait outside for now. There's no need for everyone to be here, one would be enough. The room can be stuffy if there's too many people here, too."They then left the room. Benji was holding the X-ray images of Jonathan's brain, but he couldn't make any sense of it. He felt completely lost.Shane quietly slipped away from the crowd after watching from afar. He went to an empty hallway and called his father. "Dad, are you free to analyze some X-ray images? It's for a fri

Benji had always lived a smooth and pleasant life. It hit him hard after hearing what the doctor said, leaving him in a state of shock and bewilderment."Mom, hasn't Dad always been in good health? How did he suddenly..."Carmen's eyes were red and swollen from crying."He mentioned feeling dizzy a few times recently and said he'd go for a check-up but actually never did. Plus, he's been swamped with work lately and hasn't got any time. Today, he suddenly fainted at the office. His assistant called an ambulance right away and brought him to the hospital. By the time I got the call, he was already being examined inside."Benji's face turned pale. With Jonathan down, the burden of supporting his family fell on him. He had been free from responsibility for the past 20 years, and now, suddenly having to shoulder this heavy load, he felt completely lost.His father had been asking him to get familiar with the company's operations a long time ago. However, he was too lazy to bother abou

Benji never had any grand ambitions. From the day he was born, people always told him that he didn't need to worry about anything since most problems in this world could be solved with money, and his family had plenty of it. He just wanted to drift through life."I don't need to surpass him. As long as I can cover my daily expenses and not have to ask him for money, that's enough," Benji replied.As they were talking, Shane had prepared a table full of dishes. He set out four sets of plates and cutleries before calling everyone over to eat. "It's time to eat."The four of them hadn't seen each other in a long time, so they had to have a drink.Jessamine looked at the beautifully prepared dishes on the table and couldn't help but offer a compliment. "Shane, your cooking skills have gotten so good."Shane opened a bottle of red wine and poured some for everyone. "What can I do? There's a glutton at home."Benji was not happy with Shane's comment. What did he mean by saying there wa

"It's great that you came by today, Jessie. I'll pay you back the money. Friends who are willing to lend money these days are rare, so I want to thank you again," Benji said.He hadn't repaid the money he borrowed last time yet. Coincidentally, he received some money today, so he decided to settle the debt in person. With that, he picked up his phone to make the transfer.Jessamine's phone chimed, indicating that a payment had been received. The amount was a bit more than what she had lent out."Mr. Moore, I'm not here to ask you to settle your debt. You can keep it for now. I won't need the money for the time being," Jessamine said."If one borrows and returns promptly, borrowing again won't be difficult. You're much easier to talk to than Thaddeus. Despite knowing him for so many years, borrowing money from him is such a hassle. You saw it last time yourself. That scoundrel's attitude was terrible!" Benji complained.At this point in the conversation, Thaddeus happened to arrive

Thaddeus tightened his grip on Jessamine's slender waist. "What am I going to do with you, Jessie?"He thought to himself that if things really were just that coincidental, he would rather play the fool and pretend to know nothing at all. He just couldn't leave her.Jessamine asked softly, "How about you ask your dad?"Thaddeus paused for a moment and took out his phone to call Corey. He couldn't calm his mind at all.After a few seconds of hearing the dial tone, the call was answered."Dad," Thaddeus said.On the other end of the phone, Corey was about to go to sleep. He had been adjusting his routine lately, aiming to go to bed early and wake up early."What’s up?" Corey asked."Do you remember the gathering over 20 years ago with Mr. Hardy, Jacob Langston, Leon Lincoln, Paxton Loomis, and a few others?"After that, Thaddeus added, "That night, a beautiful woman came over. She drank some alcohol and was drugged."There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the ph

On the other side, Jessamine and Thaddeus got into the car.Jessamine and Beatrice were quite familiar with each other. However, it was Jessamine's first time meeting Sabastian. Surprisingly, she had a pretty good impression of him."Do the Hardy and Holt families have business dealings with each other?"Thaddeus drove as he answered her question, "We don't have much interaction. We would occasionally invest in small projects and conduct some charity work in Zenville together."Mr. Hardy is an upright and trustworthy person. He has a good relationship with Grandpa. Hayden would often come to my house with him when I was young."Jessamine paused for a moment and asked, "Does he have a wife?""Hayden's mother passed away from an amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth. Since then, Mr. Hardy has remained single and never remarried."Jessamine was deeply moved. In this era, who would remain loyal for a lifetime to their deceased wives? Most men like Sabastian, who had both power a
