Everyone knew that the working world wasn't fair, but there was a moral standard everyone adhered to.News of Amy's plagiarism spread throughout the company's departments in less than a day. There were whispers everywhere. The situation was escalating beyond everyone's expectations.In the afternoon, Jessamine went to the bathroom with Selene and saw Yvonne walking out."Jessamine, are you the one behind this?" Yvonne asked bluntly. It was as if she wanted justice for Amy.Jessamine smiled indifferently. "Behind what? I didn't encourage her to plagiarize."It was bad enough to find excuses instead of repenting when one did something wrong. Even if Amy was a bitch, there were still fools who praised her. They were undoubtedly using her relationship with Thaddeus as a way to get ahead.Yvonne was upset. "How dare you say that? You're just an assistant who's not even qualified to participate in the project. "You have no right to call her a plagiarist. You must have framed her. Jus

Yvonne's words were mocking.Selene was a newbie who had just entered the workplace. She wouldn't dare to talk back when a senior worker mocked her. She looked at Jessamine, who was in the same position as her, and held back her grievance, her lips trembling. Jessamine smiled, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. "Yvonne, please watch your behavior at work. You've wasted public property and caused financial losses to the company. If the heads of department find out about this, they won't let you off."Yvonne sneered, "Are you kidding me? What have I wasted?""You're the one who keeps the departments' activity funds, right? I remember company regulations say that someone will allocate 500 dollars of team-building funds to the departments monthly. But I've never seen the department organize a team-building event since I joined the company. "Where did the money that's supposed to be for the people in the design department go? Did you keep it for yourself?""W-What the hell are y

"Huh?" Yvonne stared at Jessamine. Jessamine patted her head. "I'm not afraid of them, but I'm afraid they'll make things difficult for you. So, don't get close to me. Got it?"None of the employees in Holt Jewelry dared to interact with Jessamine for fear of being targeted by Amy. However, Selene stayed by her side despite being afraid she wouldn't get a permanent job there.Selene hummed in assent and pouted. "I think it's better to be friends with you. I hate scheming bitches in the workplace.""You can't avoid people like that in the workplace. You'll have to deal with it."The two chatted for a while longer before returning to their lifeless workstations.Jessamine peered at Amy out of the corner of her eye. She was leaning back in her leather seat, and her eyes were slightly swollen as if she had cried.Even when it was time to get off work, the design department still didn't get an explanation from Amy.Jessamine got off work as usual and went to the yoga studio. After

Laura dared not speak loudly for fear of being heard. "Madam Jessamine, the Langstons seem to be here to propose marriage to Ms. Sasha. I don't know the details either. I just overheard some of their conversation while working."Jessamine understood. "Where's Sasha? Why don't I see her?"Technically, Sasha couldn't be absent regarding arranged marriages since she was one of the main parties.Laura sighed. "It's truly a pity. Ms. Sasha went to the house in the suburbs with Mr. Corey and Ms. Heather. She won't be back until tomorrow.""Oh, that is a pity," Jessamine replied absentmindedly. She took some grapes and oranges from the refrigerator. As she washed the grapes, she kept muttering to herself. Jacob and Jerome wouldn't think she was the daughter of the Holt family, right? After all, she called Thomas "Grandpa" when she came in, and Thomas didn't introduce who she was. It was scary just thinking about it.She didn't even notice that the water in the fruit bowl had overflowed

Thomas raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Did that brat Ted bully you again?"Jessamine chuckled. Thomas was already worried about Thaddeus bullying her. "No, Grandpa.""That makes sense. You seem to be in a good mood recently. You even gained some weight. Just let me know if that brat dares to bully you. I'll teach him a lesson," Thomas assured.Jessamine was happy that she had a good supporter. Thomas always favored her instead of Thaddeus, his grandson. However, he could tell that she had gained weight. It meant that her weight gain had become obvious."Jessie, how are things in the design department?" he asked.Jessamine hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to tell Thomas about her quarrels. "I'm doing great, Grandpa."Thomas hummed. "When you're done working in this department, you should consider working at others. You should work through all the company's core departments before helping Ted. "The boss' wife can't stay in the design department forever. In a few years, I

"It's okay, Jessie. Have some fruit with me," Noah said."Noah, I heard that you haven't been at work recently. Are you feeling all right?" Jessamine asked.Noah took out a piece of tissue to wipe his hands. "I'm fine. I might have some pollen allergy that made my asthma act up. I'll be fine after resting for a few days."Since Noah returned home, all the flowers in the villa had been shoveled away, leaving only green plants. After all, it was spring. The streets were filled with flowers, and the amount of pollen in the air had exceeded what he could handle.Jessamine felt sorry for Noah. Even a handsome man like him had such a condition."Can I ask you for a favor, Jessie?" Noah asked.Jessamine regained her senses and replied, "What do you need my help with, Noah?"To Jessamine, Noah was as powerful as Thaddeus. They were people who had everything in the palm of their hands. The difference between them was that Thaddeus was like a proud peacock. He did everything and suppres

"Who on earth takes a shower with their shirt on?" Thaddeus retorted.Jessamine looked at Noah sitting next to her. She wanted to run away. She went upstairs with her phone, fearing that Thaddeus would say something embarrassing."I'm at Holt Manor." She specifically mentioned where she was, implying that he couldn't talk nonsense.On the screen, Thaddeus wiped his hair with a towel. "You don't have to be nervous. I just wanted to know which shampoo you use at home and ask Jordan to buy a set. This hotel's shampoo smells too unpleasant."As they talked, Jessamine returned to her room upstairs. She sighed in relief after closing the door."The shampoo I use is a brand from Marita. I'll send you a bottle. If you buy it, it may not arrive that quickly. It'll take half a month to go through customs," she told him."All right. Mail one over then," Thaddeus said.While the two were talking, Jessamine's screen turned dark, and she could only see herself in the corner of the screen."T

Noah immediately lost his appetite when he got urged to get married. He put down his spoon and said, "Dad, I have someone I like."Thomas was shocked to hear that. "That's good. I thought you were gay. Which family is this woman from? I'll help you propose an engagement."Noah hesitated to answer. Even after a while, he still hadn't answered Thomas' question.Jessamine drank her milk. Since she couldn't join a conversation between her elders, she ate her breakfast silently. As she placed her cup on the table, it made a sharp sound. She looked up, only to see Thomas and Noah looking at her."Grandpa, Noah, I'll let you guys talk. I'm done eating, so I'm going to work," Jessamine informed.She quickly swallowed the last bite of her sandwich and ran away. After sitting in the car, she wondered what she felt guilty about. Wasn't it great for Noah to have someone he liked? In that case, the jealousy-prone Thaddeus wouldn't constantly make trouble with his uncle. After a few minutes
