Countless people mentioned Jessamine and Thaddeus in their anonymous comments."Jessamine, Mr. Holt, this is an official announcement, right? When is the wedding?" one commenter asked.Another one complimented them, "Jessamine and Mr. Holt, you two make a good couple. I'd like to give my respects!""Goodness, they make an amazing couple. I want to ask you something, Jessamine. You won't show our chat history to Mr. Holt, right?" someone asked worriedly.In just a short time, news about Jessamine's identity as Thaddeus' partner spread everywhere.Jessamine locked her phone and lay down on the bed. Looking at the empty bed beside her, she had a feeling Thaddeus wouldn't be home that night.…After a sleepless night, Thaddeus didn't return home as expected. Jessamine got out of bed and washed up as usual before going downstairs for breakfast.The morning news was playing on the TV in the living room, replaying a suicide incident yesterday evening. She instinctively spared the TV a
"Colin, do you even hear what you're saying right now?" Jessamine questioned."Jessie, I beg of you. Show Amy some mercy. I know it's unreasonable, but you and Amy are sisters. Amy can't live without Thaddeus. Please let her off," Colin begged.Jessamine snorted. "Colin, you should be talking to Amy instead of giving me some emotional plea bargaining. She got into trouble herself. No one forced her to die. "Even if you convince me to divorce Thaddeus, that depends on whether he approves it. Will Thaddeus want to marry her even if he divorces me?"Colin was silent for a few moments. Then, he said, "If you divorce Thaddeus first, that'll at least give Amy some hope to live."His words disgusted Jessamine so much that she wanted to puke out her food. "Colin Quilton, never call me again. Amy won't die. She can live without anyone by her side. She's just taking advantage of everyone's sympathy for her."After saying that, Jessamine hung up and blocked Colin's number. She searched her
After making this decision, Jessamine relaxed. She didn't feel tired even after walking around all day.Before returning home in the evening, she ordered some food and red wine from Benji's restaurant. She even bought a scented candle when she passed a shop on the street. Her biggest regret was not being able to drink. She could only watch Thaddeus drink.When Jessamine got home, she decorated the bedroom and living room to create a good atmosphere.Lana didn't know what she was up to, but when she saw Jessamine decorating the house grandly, she also started tidying up the place. She guessed Jessamine and Thaddeus' relationship was going to the next level. She wanted to sneak back to Holt Manor and tell Thomas the good news."Mrs. Holt, what's the occasion?" Lana asked.Jessamine was startled for a moment. "Lana, what do you think of having two children in this home?"Lana smiled heartily. "Oh, this home would become livelier. Since you've married Mr. Holt for three years, it's t
Jessamine didn't know if this ring gave her confidence, but she felt that Amy couldn't keep Thaddeus by her side no matter what she did. Jessamine believed that his heart was with her. She wasn't interested in his dispute with Amy.In the past, she felt discouraged because she thought she didn't have a place in his heart. But now that he loved her, she would never let him go.Lana sighed in relief at Jessamine's words.The scented candles were lit, and their flames flickered gently from the table. "Lana, sit down and have some food," Jessamine offered. After living together for so long, she never regarded Lana as a servant. However, Lana knew her place and never crossed her boundaries because of Thaddeus' and Jessamine's kindness toward her."Mrs. Holt, I'm not used to eating food like this. Why don't I chat with you instead?" Lana vaguely felt that Jessamine was different from before. Although she had many things on her mind, she had also let go of other things."Let's do t
Jessamine followed Jordan to the entrance of Amy's ward. Then, she stopped and quietly looked inside.Amy was lying on the bed, asleep with a pale face. Her foot was in a cast, and her hands were covered in gauze. Meanwhile, Thaddeus was leaning back on his chair, snoring softly.Jessamine had been married to him for three years, but this was the first time she had heard him snore. At this moment, she thought he had to be extremely tired to fall asleep in his chair."Mrs. Holt, don't blame Mr. Holt for this. Amy tried to kill herself three times last night and cut her wrists. It was all because Mr. Holt said he'd leave after bringing her to the hospital. He misses you," Jordan said.Jessamine felt a pang in her chest. She felt pity for Thaddeus for having the misfortune of knowing Amy. Amy bugged him so much to the point where she threatened to kill herself, which was emotional blackmail."He must be exhausted," Jessamine guessed.Jordan nodded. "Mr. Holt probably didn't sleep a
Jessamine heard the sound of running water from the bathroom and looked at Amy's face. She had a similar face to her own. Other than her eyes and mole, her face was exactly the same.Suddenly, Amy moved her hands slightly and slowly opened her eyes. "Ted. Ted, don't leave me. If you leave, I'll kill myself."That vicious threat was the first thing she said when she woke up. When Amy saw Jessamine sitting on the chair, she sat up and pulled off the gauze on her wrist. She rummaged around on the bed, looking for something.Jessamine looked at her coldly. "What are you looking for? A knife?"Amy's eyes were bloodshot, and her lips were trembling. "Where did you make him go? He promised me yesterday that he would never leave me. He'll never leave me. If he does, I'll die."Jessamine glanced at the wound on her wrist and sneered, "Do you really want to die, or are you just putting on a show? Has anyone told you that the chances of dying from cutting your wrists are very small? Your wou
"Jessie, you must fulfill your promise on the phone. You said you'll divorce Mr. Holt. I beg of you. Show Amy some mercy." Colin knelt on the ground, wiping away his tears.It took Jessamine a long time to react and step back. Colin's actions shocked her so much that she almost didn't recognize him. Her life would be over if she fell for his trick."Stop it, Mr. Quilton. My mother and grandmother are the ones you should be apologizing to. You should go to the cemeteries and beg them for forgiveness in front of their graves," Jessamine said with disdain.Colin raised his head, looking at Jessamine with hatred. "I'm your father, yet you don't call me father anymore?"Jessamine sneered, "When Grandma took me away from the Quilton family that day, you said you didn't have a mother like her and a daughter like me. You said we'd be strangers from then on. Did you forget what you said? "Besides, I didn't promise you anything on the phone. You're the one who's trying to ruin my relations
As Jessamine watched the passing scenery, her mood worsened. She was still lost in thought even after arriving at Jardin Estate.Jordan stopped the car. After a long while, he said, "We're here, Mrs. Holt."Jessamine regained her composure and was about to get out of the car."Mrs. Holt." Jordan hesitated to speak. After a long while, he said, "I don't think you can reason with someone as insane as Amy like you would with a normal person. It's unnecessary to do so."He implied that she and Thaddeus had indulged Amy too much, causing her to take advantage of everyone's tolerance toward her. Once something didn't go her way, she would use such extreme methods to force others."I won't indulge in her schemes anymore," Jessamine declared, getting out of the car with her bag.…The next day, she clocked in at work as usual. The atmosphere in the design department became more normal without Amy around. Everyone discussed work easily without having to worry about upsetting anyone.How
