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
"You have to help me out here, Sasha. Jessamine has framed me. Holt Jewelry was supposed to release the jewelry I designed, but now she has taken my place," Amy whined.Sasha was furious upon hearing this. "Are you serious? Why didn't you tell me sooner? I would've ripped her to shreds. How dare she bully my best friend! She's truly bold."Amy sobbed miserably on the phone.Sasha tried to comfort her but to no avail. "All right. Meet me outside. We'll talk about this face-to-face. Don't worry, I'll help you get revenge."They scheduled their meetup at a classy cafe. Sasha arrived first and ordered two cups of iced Americano.After a while, Amy arrived at the cafe. She was wearing a headscarf and sunglasses, concealing her entire face. She looked like a celebrity who had run away from the set to take a break.Sasha was about to laugh when she saw her funny getup. "What are you doing, Amy? Are you trying to be a celebrity?"Amy cautiously looked around the cafe. There was no one a
Amy breathed heavily, her eyes red. She felt a little suffocated when she remembered Thaddeus' attitude toward her.She had flirted with him, faked her illness, and attempted to jump off a building. She even cut her wrists. However, she had only gotten his temporary companionship in return. She knew very well that Thaddeus was straying away from her grasp and was getting closer to that bitch Jessamine. But she didn't want to admit it.Sasha walked her back to their seats.Amy felt resentful. She needed to find a way to drive Jessamine away from Thaddeus for good. "Sasha, can you contact the media company you contacted last time?"Sasha wasn't aware of what her friend was up to. "Well, Ted's people have already kicked my journalist friend out of Zenville. The company he worked for was also disbanded."Sasha didn't want to bring up her failures. Her plans had failed, and even her friend had to bear the consequences of her actions. Back then, she had reassured him that it'd be fine
Jessamine had no interest in diamonds. Instead, she really only liked jewelry.However, she couldn't refuse a gift. Thaddeus made it clear that he was giving her something, and so she couldn't be ungrateful. Jessamine walked over and opened the intricately packaged box. That bracelet looked even better than when it was as a sketch.Those diamonds weren't just for show. When Jessamine picked it up, they glittered brightly. They would shine even brighter under the sun."It looks pretty good," she praised sincerely. Although this wasn't her first time keeping a piece of jewelry she had designed herself, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.Thaddeus was the one who supervised the factory's creation of this bracelet and brought it to her. Jessamine thought his actions were significant. She would probably cherish this bracelet so much that she would be reluctant to take it out and wear it.Thaddeus put down his pen and asked, "Do you need help?""Huh?" Jessamine was confused.
The CEO's office had never been so lively. Thaddeus had actually let the stylist into his office and turned it into Jessamine's fitting room.Jessamine felt a warmth in her chest when she saw the dress in his office lounge. That bastard was usually rude, but even he could do nice things for people.The two stylists were amazed by the elegant dress and couldn't help but admire it."Ordinary designers can't make this design with this material. It must have cost a lot of money," one of them remarked.The other stylist smiled. "Money isn't a problem for someone like Mr. Holt. He has so much money that he can never spend it all."The first stylist nodded. "You're right. But not many men would hire someone to make a dress for his wife and hide it from her as a surprise.""Enough. He's already married. We should mind our business," the other chided.After a brief conversation, the two stylists got back to business and said, "Mrs. Holt, you should put it on now."Jessamine nodded. She
"Here's the dress, Mr. Noah," the assistant said as he passed the box to Noah.Noah took the box and handed it to the stylists following Jessamine. "Go and change, Jessie. Don't worry. You can see me if you need help," Noah assured."Thank you." Jessamine didn't dare waste more time and hurried back to the CEO's office to change.She didn't publicize the matter of her dress being ruined. It would cause an unpleasant scandal and damage Holt Jewelry's image.Noah had given her a black dress embellished with pearls. It looked as good as the dress Thaddeus had prepared for her. After Jessamine put it on, she felt a tinge of regret. She preferred the white one.Noah seemed to like black. He had also given her a black dress last time.Jessamine left the lounge after she was done changing, prompting sighs of relief from the stylists.The stylists stood outside the door in shock. "Mrs. Holt, this black dress looks good, too. I think it suits you better than the white one.""Nonsense!
