Amy's words and unhinged smile showed her true feelings. Her reaction made Jessamine happy. After all, she didn't have to do anything now.Amy was so angry she was about to explode. Besides, she was the one who first provoked Jessamine with the ultrasound picture. Now, seeing Jessamine with a pregnant belly, even the sourest lemon couldn't match her bitterness. "It seems like you're very interested in our marital life. I'm sorry, I'm not used to sharing the privacy of my relationship with anyone." Amy wasn't in the mood to practice yoga anymore. Jessamine's pregnancy had shocked her. After all the effort she had put in, it seemed like she had gained nothing. She was so close to getting the title of Mrs. Holt. Now, it was getting secured by another woman. How could she accept it?"Being pregnant is nothing. The only thing that matters is if you're able to carry it to term." Her words were both a threat and a curse.After what she had done in the past, a chill ran down Jessamine
"Give me your number so I can contact you if anything happens," Jessamine said. Jaxon took out his phone and dialed her number. Soon, her phone rang."Ms. Patton, this is my number. I'll be at your service 24/7."Jessamine looked at the caller ID on the screen. The nickname she had given to the person who had secretly helped her some time ago was "Mysterious Jaxon".It turned out she was right. The person behind Jaxon was definitely Noah."Being on call 24 hours wouldn't be necessary. I usually won't need you at night.""We're on standby at all times. It's our duty. If you need anything, just call this number. I can guarantee an immediate response.""Alright." Jessamine was impressed by the dedication this man had. She had never expected that the most reassuring words she had ever heard in her life would come from a stranger.If Thaddeus were to utter those words, she would be moved to tears. Jessamine chuckled bitterly, thinking about her wishful thoughts. "I'll be heading
Thaddeus pursed his lips as if he never had any expectations of her in the first place. "Don't be nervous. If your design doesn't make it, you can just continue resting at home like before."As if Jessamine would be nervous. He made it sound like she was eager to stay in his company. "I'll be going on a business trip to Hajera tomorrow. I'll be back in about a week." He was telling her his schedule again. Jessamine let out a little noise. She was uncomfortable with how he was acting. She recalled the time Thaddeus went on a business trip to Marita. He was gone for a week and disappeared from the world without even a goodbye.She had called him countless times and almost called the police. Finally, Jordan found out that Thaddeus was in Masnor. Because of that, Jessamine decided to never ask him about his business trips again.Now that he took the initiative to explain clearly, it made her feel more confused. She had even thought she was dreaming.Thaddeus snapped his fingers i
Jessamine sat across from Melissa, carefully listening to her advice. "Melissa, do I need anything for prenatal care?"Melissa raised an eyebrow and put down the pen in her hand. "The best prenatal care is the father's company and love."She sighed helplessly. "Regarding the divorce lawsuit you mentioned before, I've asked Joseph, and he's free this Friday. You can meet him for a discussion. If your schedule allows it, I can help you arrange it."Joseph Gardner was Melissa's boyfriend. He was a well-known lawyer who specialized in divorce cases in Zenville. If it weren't for Melissa's relationship with him, Jessamine would've never gotten an appointment.She hesitated and said, "Melissa, I want to think about it again."Melissa smiled and replied, "I won't persuade you. Think carefully about what you want. Marriage is like a cup of water—only you know if it's warm or cold. "No matter what decision you make, I'll support you. If you need anything, call me anytime. I'll help you m
When Jessamine arrived at the repair shop, Zade had been waiting there for half an hour. As soon as she drove over, she saw him waving at her. "Jessie, wouldn't it be better to have a few more people with us?"He felt that it might be risky to go without more people. After all, they were walking into the lion's den. It would be dangerous with just the two of them. The repair shop was full of men, and dealing with them might not be easy."I brought two people with me." Jessamine called Jaxon and asked them to join.Zade's confidence was boosted when he saw the two young men behind her. "Let's go!"The four of them headed toward the repair shop. Jessamine observed the repair shop as they went near. It wasn't small and had a large yard.Several run-down cars were parked in the yard, and several mechanics were working on them. Clanking noises echoed throughout the yard. Soon, someone noticed the group of four. A young man, around 20 years old, came over to greet them. "Do you ne
Jessamine sniffled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll double your reward when you solve the case."Zade smiled brightly. "If that's what you say, then I'll have to solve the case for you no matter what. By the way, the Eastlake Villa you told me to keep an eye on was sold by Amy not too long ago."Suddenly, she stood up straight and couldn't help but feel her whole body tense up. That villa was her mother's inheritance. She hadn't thought of a way to get it back, but Amy had managed to sell it first.The villa held all her childhood memories. "Who did she sell it to?" she asked.Zade tapped his forehead, trying to recall. "The buyer is called Maya Moore.""Have you checked who she is?""Maya Moore, 14 years old. She's the daughter of the CEO of Moore Corporation."Jessamine's mind quickly raced. The daughter of Moore Corporation, wasn't that Benji's sister? She was only 14 years old, so she mustn't have bought this house herself.She felt that she had to find an oppo
Jordan flushed with embarrassment, then quickly reacted. He snatched up the phone and rejected the call."Um… Mr. Holt, what should we do next?"The contract had been signed, so Jordan was hoping they could go home now. After all, his wife had been calling him eight times a day. Thaddeus looked at his assistant disdainfully. "Is it necessary to have such a cheesy contact name?"Jordan felt utterly embarrassed. The fact that he was a doting husband had been exposed to his boss without any warning. To make matters worse, Thaddeus wasn't a romantic person."Mr. Holt, it's not easy to find a wife. Women are rare these days. If you happen to marry the one you love and you don't cherish them, wouldn't that just make you a fool?"As he was talking, the phone in his hand rang again.Thaddeus rubbed his temples and asked, "Why aren't you answering? Your wife must be quite strict!"Jordan quickly turned to answer the phone. Since Thaddeus had permitted him, if he rejected the call again
In Zenville, Jessamine's right eye kept twitching. According to an old saying, when someone's left eye twitched, it signified financial gain. However, if the right eye twitched, it signified impending doom.She couldn't imagine what doom would befall her. At almost 6:00 pm, she saw the results of the competition in the design department. Her work was ranked last.Jessamine was speechless for a while as she stared at her phone. She looked through everyone's designs and couldn't say they were good. There was no way her design would rank last. She received Selene's messages right after. "Jessie, today's evaluation was so unfair! Yvonne put names to everyone's work. The necklace you designed had the highest score initially, but after seeing the name, it was ranked last. They did it on purpose!"Selene was complaining about the competition."So what came first?""The ring designed by Ms. Quilton.""What happens to the piece that wins first place?"Jessamine had just joined Holt J
