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
The Holt Jewelry's charity dinner was later that night.Jessamine was worried that Thaddeus had taken away her beloved collection. She wondered if that rude guy had been careful with her jewelry. He wouldn't just put all her jewelry in a big bag, right?She became more and more worried.Shane thought a dress wasn't enough for the dinner. Jessamine also needed to style her hair, so he brought her to a popular hair salon. After a few hours, Shane was satisfied with the stylists' work. Jessamine didn't feel any different. Her hair was in a bun before the styling, and it was still in a bun when they were done. However, it looked more natural, and a string of pearls was in her hair.Jessamine and Shane were having lunch when she got a call from an unfamiliar number."Excuse me. Is this Jessamine Patton?" a mysterious male asked. "Yes," Jessamine replied."Hello, Ms. Patton. We're calling from the bank. A 50 million dollar trust fund has matured, and you're the recipient.
