Jessamine trembled in fear. She had been with the Holt family for three years but had never seen Thomas so angry. The last time was when Thaddeus and Amy angered him to the point where he had to be hospitalized.Jessamine quickly sat next to Thomas and calmed him down. "Calm down, Grandpa. Let's take things easy. Don't let your anger affect your health."Thomas was so angry that his lips were trembling. "Jessie, I'll make things right for you. Tell me everything this bastard did to you. There's no way he's calling the shots in our family."Thaddeus remained silent with a sullen expression on his face.Jessamine didn't know why Thomas was upset. "Grandpa, he didn't do anything."Thomas scoffed. "I can't believe you're still speaking up for him. He has already kept that sly woman in your marital home. How can you put up with it? "Then, Thomas scolded Thaddeus, "You bastard, do you even have a righteous bone in your body? You have a wife, but you used her marital home as a secret g
"After we get back to Zenville, we're going to sell that place and get rid of everything Amy used. We don't want to keep the place she lived in. I'll look for a new home for Jessie and buy it under her name. No one else would let some scheming bitch stay there!"Thomas' words were directed at Thaddeus. Thaddeus said nothing, but Noah said, "Leave it to me, Dad. A friend of mine has a lot of properties available this year. I'll ask him to save the best one."Thomas looked at Noah in approval. And just like that, they had made a decision.…Meanwhile, Amy had no idea she would be evicted from the apartment soon. Right now, she had to face the netizens' ire and harassment.Thaddeus had told her to prepare more daily necessities and stay home for the time being. At first, she didn't take it seriously. But after a day, she knew things weren't as simple as she thought.She didn't dare to turn on her phone. Every day, she received tons of hate messages and even death threats from unkn
Thomas had given Thaddeus a big scolding. In front of everyone, he ordered Joe to sell Thaddeus' unit in Islington Apartments and get rid of anything Amy touched.Meanwhile, Noah had already asked his friend for the floor plans of his properties.Thomas began to relax when he looked at the floor plans Noah gave him.Thaddeus' head was still bleeding. It was a miracle that Thomas didn't let him endure an even worse punishment.When Jessamine noticed Thomas' anger had subsided slightly, she pulled Thaddeus to their room and brought him the first aid kit.Thaddeus couldn't help but hiss when Jessamine dabbed his wound with a ball of cotton wool. Only then did he feel the pain from his wound.He questioned, "It's not like you don't know Grandpa. Why did you hand him a glass of water? If you had given him a knife, you would've been a widow by now."Jessamine simply ignored him and continued to clean his wound. Then, she disinfected it and applied medicine to it. "The weather is hot
"Grandpa…" Thaddeus sighed, a frustrated expression on his face. Thomas was informing him of his decision, not giving him any room for discussion. He didn't want to hear what Thaddeus had to say, so he just hung up on him.He was still furious. He had remembered Thaddeus' transgressions and would pay close attention to him.Silence filled the car once more. As Jordan drove, he overtook the one in front of him. Thaddeus rubbed the bridge of his nose and complained, "What on earth are you doing? Why are you speeding up and slowing down all of a sudden? Is your driver's license just for show?"Jordan quickly straightened himself and said, "Mr. Holt, that car was driving too slowly.""Just keep the car steady."A layer of sweat formed on Jordan's forehead. He felt aggrieved at Thaddeus' words. He had been really careful when driving.Jessamine leaned against the car window, complaining in her thoughts. Jordan was driving well enough. What else did Thaddeus want from him?"Let
"Is that not the case?" Jessamine questioned. She still remembered the time when Thaddeus had been so rough with her in bed that she couldn't get out of bed the next day. Since he was working overtime that day, he asked someone to deliver the latest Hermes bag to her. The card even wrote, "Good work. Here's your reimbursement."Thaddeus was clearly rewarding her for sleeping with him. An ordinary couple would never keep track of things like this. There was no need to give rewards or reimbursements.Thaddeus found Jessamine a little unreasonable to think he shouldn't buy her anything. He had spent money on those gifts, but she was still complaining. She was so ungrateful."Throw them away if you don't want them!"His bold words shocked Jessamine. The bags in their closet were already worth eight figures in total, and that didn't include the bags in the storage room. Yet, he wanted her to throw them away.Jessamine felt a feeling of hatred toward the rich. She only earned 200 thou
Thaddeus could hear the bitterness in her tone. "When new workers join the company, they must start as assistants. Those are the rules."I can't break them just because you're my wife. If you're not happy with your position as a design assistant, I'll promote you."Jessamine found his words contradicting. "You said everyone has to start as an assistant, but what about Amy?"Everyone in the industry knew that Holt Jewelry had a powerhouse in their design department. Amy had become the chief designer when she joined the company, becoming a subject of envy among the people of the design industry. Why hadn't Holt Jewelry enforced their rules on Amy?Thaddeus lost his patience. "Jessie, you can't compare yourself with Amy. She had accomplished so much when she was abroad."He continued, "I didn't hire her to be the chief designer out of obligation to care for her. Although she's now involved in a plagiarism scandal, she truly deserves this position."Jessamine felt bitter. He could
Jessamine relaxed after hearing the answer she wanted.They went straight to the underground parking lot of Holt Jewelry's office building. Ever since they showed up together, the employees had made many speculations and comments about their relationship, most of which were blessings for the couple.Thaddeus didn't admit or refute the rumors, tacitly confirming their theories. Hence, there was no need to hide their relationship anymore. After getting out of the car, Thaddeus took their suitcases from Jordan. Then, he went upstairs with Jessamine, but not before asking Jordan to put their other things in Jardin Estate. They couldn't risk letting the seafood in the car go bad.Thaddeus and Jessamine went straight to the top floor. When the elevator doors opened, they saw Ariel waiting outside the door with the newly drafted contract in her hand. "Mr. and Mrs. Holt, shall we sign the contract now?" she asked. When Thaddeus heard Ariel's greeting toward Jessamine, he glared at her
Jessamine returned to her workstation in the design department. Selene looked at her, overjoyed. "Jessie, I thought you wouldn't be back. Some people said you resigned."Jessamine felt that her emotions were a mess. She sat down and sighed. "I did resign, but Mr. Holt didn't approve it."Selene was surprised. "You have to follow company regulations, too?" She thought Jessamine could do anything she wanted in the company.Jessamine rolled her eyes. "What on earth is going on in your mind? Get back to work!"Selene felt nosy. She was very curious about Jessamine and Thaddeus' relationship. "Jessie, have you seen the discussions about your relationship with Mr. Holt on the company forums? Some people are saying you're getting married soon. Is that true?"Jessamine shook her head and said, "Although anything might be possible in life, our wedding isn't happening."Right now, she and Thaddeus weren't about to get married. They were about to get divorced. Soon, she would probably b
