"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

Jessamine paused. She didn't have the time to drink coffee with someone like Yvonne. Yvonne was a blight in the workplace. People like her were the reason the design department was tense.Besides, she was pregnant now. She couldn't drink coffee at all. "Sorry, I don't like coffee."Her words almost made Yvonne get on her knees to beg for mercy. Based on Yvonne's understanding, Jessamine was unwilling to make peace with her. She thought she was about to lose her job. She wouldn't be able to pay her family's mortgage next month. She was even more uneasy at the revelation.Jessamine hated chameleons who switched loyalties like Yvonne. She looked pathetic, betraying Amy to gain favor from her.She found the situation ironic. A few days ago, Yvonne arrogantly warned her to give in to Amy and said Thaddeus would deal with her when he returned. But now, she changed her tune. She was even better than a chameleon."I advise you to focus on your work, not vile schemes." After Jessamine sa

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
