Benji's face turned crimson. He wanted to admit defeat and complained to Thaddeus, "What kind of insane employees did you hire? How the fuck did they come up with this idea?"Thaddeus stood among the crowd, a head taller than everyone around him. He calmly watched and enjoyed Benji's misfortune.Shane took the microphone and said, "It's not quite appropriate for us to kiss in front of so many people. Can you lower the requirements and let us hold hands instead?"The host raised an eyebrow and said, "That depends on our crowd. What do you guys think?"Everyone replied in unison, "Absolutely not!"Benji would rather die. What the hell was Shane thinking? He wasn't going to hold hands with him.Everything turned chaotic for a moment.After enjoying his friend's misfortune, Thaddeus finally said, "Do everything in moderation, everyone. Don't push Mr. Moore over the edge."When he said that, everyone changed their minds. "Go ahead and hold hands."Benji glowered at Thaddeus. He tho

Some people had already gotten their cameras and were ready to take pictures of Thaddeus and Jessamine's affectionate display. Everyone was curious to see what their boss was like when he was in love. His usually stoic demeanor left plenty of room for their imaginations.Jessamine glanced at Thaddeus before quickly turning her head away. The game's rules were a bit too embarrassing.She wanted to ask who came up with the three-minute kiss. Was this a reward or punishment? It was so embarrassing to do that in front of so many people.She was so nervous that sweat formed on her palms. She kept trying to calm herself down. Thaddeus wasn't someone who would play along with the crowd's wishes. As long as he objected, no one wouldn't dare to refute him.Jessamine nervously pinned her hopes on Thaddeus.Upon seeing Thaddeus and Jessamine remain motionless, the host said again, "Mr. and Mrs. Holt, can you two stand a little closer? If you're too far away, you can only blow kisses at each

The nosy crowd began heckling at them. At some point, someone even yelled, "Kiss each other!"Soon, everyone went ballistic. They shouted at the top of their lungs, "Kiss! Kiss!"The weak-hearted Jessamine blushed at the crowd's words. She didn't dare to meet Thaddeus' eyes, fearing that he would really kiss her. They could kiss behind closed doors, but they couldn't do it in public like it was a form of entertainment for the crowd.Time stopped for a few moments, and Jessamine wanted to run away.Thaddeus stared at her briefly, wanting to laugh at her embarrassment. She had been an aggressive brat behind closed doors, but she was nothing more than a coward in front of others. He gently lifted her chin. Jessamine looked up at him like a frightened deer. "Don't–"But before she could finish talking, Thaddeus placed his lips against hers. He moved gently against her lips until he stopped.Everyone raised their phones to take a picture. However, their kiss had ended before some co

The two women brought the gift to the stage and placed it in Thaddeus' hands.Thaddeus didn't expect that there would actually be prizes. Since he was the boss, there was no point in fighting with his employees for a prize. He had spent money buying his employees gifts, only for him to win them himself.Facing everyone's expectant gazes, he couldn't bear to keep the prize to himself. "Why don't I share this prize with all of us?"Meanwhile, Jordan tensed from his place backstage. He quickly walked to the front, trying to stop Thaddeus. Unfortunately, he was too late. Thaddeus had already torn open the wrapping paper. When Thaddeus saw what was inside, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. Jessamine also saw what he was holding and quickly squeezed out of the crowd. Since the game was over, she didn't need to stay on the stage and suffer with him.Thaddeus watched her flee. Then, he looked at the box in his hands and couldn't help but hang his head. If he had known th

Fireworks exploded on the distant sea with a bang, forming vibrant petals of color in the night sky. Then, the remnants of the fireworks drifted downward, tracing arcs of light in the air like a meteor shower.The grand display stunned Jessamine. The fireworks ignited in front of her eyes just like a surprise. The presence of her babies had also surprised her in this way, giving her a ray of hope in her sad and depressing life. She also had become more expectant of the marriage she had given up.In the distance, new fireworks kept rising into the sky and exploding one after another. Everyone on the boat heard their deafening sounds.Jessamine thought that even using her eyes wasn't enough to witness and experience this magnificent display.As Thaddeus watched her being entranced by the fireworks, he felt his lust for her disappearing and watched the fireworks with her. Women normally liked flashy things like this. Even Jessamine, who never had any material desires, was no excepti

Amy was about to cry.Sasha patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle this. My grandfather didn't approve of your relationship, but things are different now. You're pregnant with Ted's kid. "Us Holts won't let our children live in the streets. My grandfather is conservative. Even though he looks stern on the outside, he is extremely kind and will take care of things for you."Amy wiped away her tears."Does Ted know about this big news?" Sasha asked. Amy shook her head and replied, "You're the first person to know."Sasah felt honored. "I am the baby's aunt, after all. All right, you have to tell Ted about this big news. Believe me. He'll be so excited."Amy was excited. She imagined Thaddeus' joy at finding out about her pregnancy and felt her unhappiness fade away.Jessamine dared not tell Thaddeus about her pregnancy. Since Sasha didn't know about it either, the Holt family would be kept in the dark about Jessamine's pregnancy. It was clear that Jessamine hadn

Amy looked tired after vomiting so much. However, she couldn't help but feel happy. She finally had a trump card.…Thaddeus brought Jessamine to greet the guests. He was surprised to see a mysterious big shot at his company's celebration dinner.Xander Patton was a well-known real estate tycoon in Hajera. In honesty, he was more famous for his ruthless business methods. When he had taken control of Emerald Grove Real Estate, the company was still a medium-sized company. In just five years, the company had taken the real estate industry in Hajera under his management. No company in Hajera could even match his company in construction and land grabbing. Furthermore, Emerald Grove Real Estate's properties could be seen everywhere in the country, which showed that it had formed a monopoly.Some wealthy people had discussed that Xander and Thaddeus were both big shots that couldn't be provoked.No one knew why a big shot like Xander was in Zenville and on Holt Jewelry's cruise. He

After Xander finished speaking, he looked at Jessamine again.It made Thaddeus very uncomfortable. He shielded her behind him, blocking her from Xander's line of sight. "Mr. Patton, you should take care of your own issues first," he reminded. "Women can go to extreme lengths when they're pushed. Make sure not to push your wife over the edge."Jessamine felt awkward as she stood behind Thaddeus silently. She didn't understand why they were being so hostile, treating each other like scumbags. What had happened for things to go wrong?At this time, Jordan came over with the room card. "Mr. Patton, here's the card for the suite on the second floor. You can call the front desk if you need anything. We promise to give you the best service as soon as possible."Thaddeus took the card before Xander could. He asked sternly, "Mr. Xander is my honored guest. Why didn't you give him the room on the top floor?"Jordan was confused. There were only two suites on the top floor. Thaddeus had

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
