"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

Jessamine smirked. "Let's go then."It was time for them to settle the score between them. The two of them arrived at the coffee shop. Jessamine took the lead and sat in a relatively spacious seat by the window. Amy sat down opposite her and ordered two iced coffees. Jessamine asked the waiter for a glass of lemon water instead and turned to Amy with a smile."Order for yourself. I'm pregnant, so I can't drink coffee."Amy trembled, feeling that Jessamine's smile was sarcastic. The word "pregnant" coming from her mouth felt like a sword stabbing her chest."Jessie, what would you like to drink? I'll order it for you again."The way Amy called her name made Jessamine's hair stand on end. "Thaddeus isn't here. You don't have to pretend. Just be yourself."Amy paused for a second before she smiled. At that second, the waiter brought over the lemon water, and she took the glass respectfully and placed it in front of Jessamine."Jessie, this is only the second time I've sincerely c

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
