Jessamine was startled for a moment. Then, she took the tissue from Amy to wipe her face dry.Amy continued mocking, "Are you trying to give him a surprise? I advise you to abandon that idea. The news will only frighten him. He doesn't want your children."While she talked, Jessamine's phone rang. She took out her phone and answered the call. "What's taking so long in the bathroom?" Thaddeus asked."I'm heading out now," she answered. Jessamine then put her phone away and looked at Amy coldly. "An outsider like you doesn't have the right to give an input about our marital affairs."Amy snapped and grabbed Jessamine's arm. "You should get rid of your baby and stop interfering in our relationship. He doesn't love you at all. He loves me. You've seen it for yourself. He'd always stay by my side as long as I'm in need."Jessamine shoved her arm away and returned to the sink. She got some hand sanitizer and scrubbed the area Amy had just touched. "Amy, is committing suicide all you c
Jerome tried explaining, "Today's the first day we met. I don't know you well enough, and I'm sure you don't know me either."Sasha interrupted him, "That's okay. We have plenty of time to get to know each other. We have a long future ahead of us."Jerome continued, "But the wedding date our family has agreed on is around the corner. If we hastily get married, I don't think you can handle it."He thought someone like Sasha wouldn't be someone who would settle for less, so she wouldn't agree to marry him so readily. Unexpectedly, Sasha blurted out, "I can handle it."Jerome felt his heart stop at her words. He smiled helplessly. "You can tell me if you don't agree to this marriage. I won't blame you."The implications of his words were clear. However, Sasha didn't catch his drift and asked suspiciously, "Why wouldn't I agree?"What a joke. She couldn't believe Jerome was worried that she would disagree with the marriage. She was so happy that she couldn't wait to get married immed
However, the pain in Jessamine's hand didn't hold a candle to the pang in her stomach. After settling down, she realized they had been hit by a swerving car. She couldn't help but tremble. Since her mother had died in a car accident, car accidents traumatized her.When she arrived at the scene back then, Elizabeth was in the driver's seat, bleeding from her head. Her clothes and car had her blood everywhere.Then, the ambulance came and took her away. After rescuing her, Elizabeth was in a coma for three days. When she woke up, she only gave some last words before passing away.In contrast to Jessamine, Amy seemed to be more injured. She screamed in pain and couldn't move her neck. She lay weakly in her seat and cried, "Ted, I-I'm in so much pain. My heart…"The accident gave Amy quite the shock, and her face was ashen. She sounded as if she'd lose her breath in the next second.Amy glanced around to see if Thaddeus was looking at her. Then, she looked behind to see if Jessamine
Thaddeus froze at Jessamine's words. Then, Amy spoke again, "Ted, save me. Save me…"Thaddeus didn't hesitate anymore. He wrapped Amy in his suit jacket and carried her out of the car.Jessamine's body was already cold. She watched him running through the rain with Amy in his arms. Thaddeus must be anxious. He was so anxious that he didn't even pick up his phone when it fell into the water.Amy's joking predictions in the bathroom had become a reality so soon. He really left her on the road without hesitation. He didn't even give her any words of comfort.Jessamine's body was limp, and she didn't even have the strength to cry. She got herself together and turned on her phone. She found Melissa's contact and dialed her number. This place wasn't far from Melissa's hospital.Melissa arrived at the scene very quickly. Upon seeing her savior, Jessamine finally closed her eyes and passed out in relief.When she woke up, she saw white walls, and the faint smell of disinfectant filled
Jerome stopped the car, and Sasha got out with an umbrella. That phone was indeed Thaddeus'. Seeing how he dropped his phone, it was clear how pressing the situation was."No, I have to find Ted. Please come with me in case I need help with anything. Ted will be worried if he doesn't have his phone with him," Sasha said anxiously.Jerome didn't like Amy, but he couldn't shamelessly leave a young lady like Sasha out in the rain. Therefore, he turned the steering wheel and parked his car on the side of the road."Ms. Holt, you must know where your brother is before you can find him. Right now, we can't even contact him. His phone is soaked in water," Jerome reasoned."Don't panic. I'll call Amy again," Sasha said.What was she talking about? Jerome wasn't even panicking.Sasha called Amy repeatedly, but she didn't answer the phone. "Why don't we look for him at a nearby hospital? My brother dropped his phone and left his car behind. I didn't even see an ambulance, so they must have
Jerome immediately stopped moving. "What are you talking about?"Sasha raised her chin and said proudly, "Amy is Ted's first love. Ted and Jessamine will divorce sooner or later. That worthless woman doesn't deserve to be my sister-in-law. Only someone as refined as Amy can be my sister-in-law."Jerome finally understood the situation. He was already suspicious of Amy when she approached Thaddeus so flirtingly. However, he didn't expect the Holts to be so cruel. How could they treat Jessamine like that?Amy was trying to break apart their marriage even though she knew it was wrong. Even Thaddeus' sister had accepted her and treated her as a friend. Jerome's mind went blank at the revelation. His views were too different from the Holt family's, so he had to call off his marriage with Sasha.The Holt family was messed up. Sasha was even arrogant in her words, showing no signs of discipline. She also seemed to be delusional. Jerome felt a pang in his chest at the thought of someon
Sasha was a simple-minded woman. She wasn't as calculating and cunning as Amy. "It's good that you're fine. Ted will be overjoyed to hear about this. We have to celebrate."Amy sweated at her words. "Ms. Holt, you'd better watch your mouth. I've faked so many heart attacks in front of Ted after I returned home. If you tell him I've treated my illness abroad, he'll kill the both of us."Sasha quickly said, "You're right, Amy. This is a secret. We can't tell him."Then, she praised, "Amy, you're too smart. Why can't I come up with such good ideas? Will you help me out when I pursue my man?""Don't worry. I can handle anyone. I'll make sure you wrap him around your little finger," Amy assured.…After paying the fees, Thaddeus went upstairs. He happened to hear Amy's last statement and felt disgusted. Sasha noticed him first. "Ted, are you done paying?"Thaddeus stuffed the card back into Sasha's bag, then took out her phone. After unlocking her phone, he dialed a number. "Ted, wha
That night, Melissa brought Jessamine back to Jardin Estate. After resting for a few hours, Jessamine was fine and could've left by herself. However, Melissa was still worried about her and insisted on taking her home.Jessamine thought she would have to deal with Thaddeus when she got home. She was still thinking about how to explain herself. However, Thaddeus didn't come home that night.On Monday, she got a call from Jordan when she arrived at work."Mrs–Jessamine, please go to the CEO's office. It's official business," he informed her.Jessamine put down her bag and went upstairs without having time to turn on her computer.Thaddeus sat in his leather chair with a pen in his hand. He seemed to be in a bad mood."Is there something I can do for you, Mr. Holt?" Jessamine asked.Jordan closed the door and left the office.Thaddeus handed over several A4 papers. He had prominent dark circles under his eyes. He seemed to have stayed up all night. "Jessie, have a look at these."
