"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

That night, Jessamine returned to Eastlake Villa. She had hired two cleaners here. They took care of the house and planted flowers in the yard to make the place look more lively.She didn't want this villa to be abandoned after Elizabeth's death. Someone needed to be there.The roses in the yard were in full bloom. They were large, forming a lovely-looking myriad with their different colors. The house was so clean that even the windows were spotless.When the two staff saw Jessamine arrive, they hurriedly made her some food.Jesamine didn't have much of an appetite, so she simply ate something and returned to the villa. She held the photo she had found here last time, studying the boy in the younger Elizabeth's arms. She wondered if Malcolm was the one who was secretly investigating the truth about the accident.Who on earth was Malcolm? Elizabeth was around 18 or 19 back then, so this boy couldn't have been her son. What did she have to do to find out who Malcolm was? Jessamine

"Ted, what do you mean by that?" Amy asked."Don't overthink this. It's just how it is. Since the netizens have found this address, it's not safe for you to live there anymore. You should move out. It's best for everyone," Thaddeus said bluntly.Amy didn't listen to most of his words. She had only heard his last sentence."Ted, is Jessie forcing you to sell the apartment? Since she doesn't want me there, I'll move away. I can't upset her," Amy said with her usual false kindness.However, for some reason, Thaddeus felt unpleasant after hearing her words. "You have it all wrong. It's all my idea. Look for a house and move out on the weekend."Amy sobbed. "Why are you being such a heartless landlord now? You can't just sell it and only give me two days to move. Do you know how hard it is to find a home nowadays? Women have a lot of belongings, you know."She was heartbroken. She couldn't believe Thaddeus listened to Jessamine's orders and tried to drive her out of this home. The one

The next day, Thaddeus heard noises as soon as he arrived at his office. The 19th floor of Holt Jewelry's building was always quiet. Who dared to cause trouble in his office? He could tell the voice in his office belonged to Sasha."Why are you making a ruckus so early in the morning?" he questioned.Sasha quieted down when she heard Thaddeus' voice. "Ted, I like this dress. Tell Jessie to buy a new one. I want to take this one with me."The workers who brought the dress looked at Thaddeus as if he was their savior. It seemed that Sasha had caused a lot of trouble for them before he arrived. Sasha had never learned to control her temper. She would say the nastiest things to people who didn't obey her.Thaddeus' eyes landed on the dress. It was white with a simple and elegant design. It suited Jessamine's vibe. Since the dress didn't expose too much skin, the dress met his requirements as well.Jordan found a good designer for this dress. Thaddeus looked at him in approval.Af

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
