Holt Jewelry had just acquired a medium-sized company. Initially, Thaddeus didn't have to be present personally for the acquisition. Holt Jewelry had more than enough capable people to handle it.However, Thaddeus changed his mind and insisted on being there for the acquisition. In addition to that, he was also afraid of answering Jessamine's calls. Jordan figured that they must have quarreled."Mr. Holt, Mrs. Holt seems to be wanting you home as soon as possible."Jordan laid it out nicely like this, but he was also worrying about himself. After all, he had received too many phone calls from his own fiancée asking him when he'd finally be home.Thaddeus just scoffed and said, "Of course she wants me home."She wanted him home so that they could finalize their divorce.Jordan didn't realize that he was going in the wrong direction altogether. He then said, "If that's the case, should I go out and buy some Bigsville souvenirs for you to bring home to Mrs. Holt?"Thaddeus lit up a
Jessamine shook her head."We've already signed the divorce papers. There's no need to tell him anymore. It's not like he doesn't have other children to worry about."This was too much information for Melissa to take in at once. Melissa's jaw dropped."He has other children? Bastard kids?""Something like that, but he'll be able to bring that kid home to Holt Manor very soon."Jessamine supposed Thaddeus would marry Amy and bring her home in all her glory as soon as their divorce was finalized. After all, the baby bump in Amy's tummy should be visible very soon.And Thomas had been hoping for a grandchild of his own for such a long time. Jessamine couldn't help feeling bitter about it.When she returned to Holt Manor, she caught sight of Thaddeus' shiny Bentley in the garage.He was back.Jessamine parked and entered the manor. Thaddeus was standing at the floor-to-ceiling windows, making a phone call with his back to the door. His silhouette against the window made him look c
"Speaking, may I know what the matter is?"The property manager then said hesitatingly, "Um, the neighbor below your unit made a complaint that you were a little too loud last night, and it's affected their sleep. We're all adults here, so I'm sure you know what I mean, right?"I hope you and your husband will tone it down next time so you won't bother the neighbors again."Jessamine's heart turned cold. There was a lump stuck in her throat. For a brief moment, she wondered if she was a murderer in her past life that made her deserve this kind of treatment from Thaddeus now.So, Thaddeus spent the night at Islington Apartments last night.And he had hot, loud, earth-shattering sex with Amy.The apartments there should be very well soundproofed. Just how loud did they have to be for her to receive complaints from the downstairs neighbors like this?He was such an impatient man. He couldn't even wait for their divorce to be finalized to fuck Amy. It also didn't seem like he cared
Jordan held a baseball bat and gave a tap on the man's face, threatening, "Quit the damn nonsense and get to the point!"The man shivered a few times and began speaking, "It was a stylishly dressed lady. We only saw her side profile. She's slim, with waist-length curly hair, and she wore pearl earrings."She gave us 300 thousand in cash, asking us to wait on Auburn Street for a beautiful lady. She told us to rape that lady, and then she'd pay us another 100 thousand. That's all I know. Please spare me, sir."Another thug, cowering with his neck hunched, vigorously nodded, confirming the story.A cold chill swept over Thaddeus' heart. Thankfully, Jessamine was okay. The thought of her almost being raped by these three scumbags made him feel indescribably uneasy.The clues stopped here. If the other party had provided a transfer account, he could have followed up on it. Unfortunately, they were careful and opted for a cash transaction instead.Thaddeus mulled over it for a while, a
Thaddeus suddenly felt something soft, and he retrieved his hand at once.Amy pressed herself against him once more, hugging his waist."Teddy, don't leave today. I miss you so much. I cooked your favorite Borscht soup for two hours. Shall I serve you a bowl?" asked Amy.Amy lifted her head for a kiss, her waist-length curls swaying behind her.Thaddeus gently played with her earlobe, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan.After knowing Thaddeus for so many years, this was the first time he had been so close to her. She closed her eyes to feel the warmth from his touch on her earlobe. This made her legs feel weak, and she leaned into him."Teddy, Teddy …" she whispered.Thaddeus suddenly withdrew his hand, placing it in front of Amy."When did you buy this pair of earrings?" he asked.Amy looked at him with a blurry stare, wondering why the topic shifted to earrings after their flirtatious interaction. She complained, "You're so annoying. Why did you pull out my earrin
Thaddeus looked at the woman in his arms, desire flickering in his eyes. He gently slid his hand over Amy's cheek."Are you not urging me to divorce anymore?" he asked.Amy was momentarily confused before realizing that he mistook her for Jessamine.She couldn't believe that bitch!Amy thought Thaddeus was finally going to genuinely accept her, just like an adult man would to a woman he likes. She thought he wanted to possess her. Her heart swelled with joy, ready to give herself to him completely. But just as she was getting emotional, reality rained on her parade.She felt heartbroken momentarily but quickly calmed down.Thaddeus cradled her face and pecked her a few times. However, he noticed the woman in his arms showed no reaction. She just stared at him with a hurtful look.He instantly lost interest in continuing any further."It's been three years, and you're still like a block of wood," he commented disdainfully.Amy helped him back to the master bedroom. The room w
Sasha showed no intention of backing down, making it clear she said that to provoke Jessamine."Jessamine, Grandpa is here because of you. Just how much harm do you want to bring to us?" she asked.Jessamine glanced at her mother-in-law, Heather, who stood there impassively. It was as if she hadn't heard her daughter's disrespectful words. Her indulgent attitude only fueled Sasha's rude behavior.Though Heather was usually friendly with Jessamine, her impression of Heather took a significant hit at that moment.Sasha was lacking in manners and was far from the demeanor expected of an heiress in a prestigious family.Jessamine's gaze swept over the people present, and she smiled mockingly.Sasha felt offended. She was clearly scolding Jessamine, but what was with her attitude?She sneered and asked, "Why are you smiling?"Jessamine couldn't be bothered to deal with Sasha and pointed at the "Keep Quiet" sign on the wall."Keep it down. This is a hospital. Don't make a spectacle
Noah pressed the button for the second floor, and the elevator quickly descended.Upon reaching the second floor, Noah walked directly into an examination room, with Jessamine following behind.Inside the room was a young doctor who appeared similar in age to Noah.Noah led Jessamine to sit in front of the doctor's desk."Samuel, could you please take a look at her face? How do we reduce the swelling?" he asked hurriedly.Samuel Watson directed his gaze at Jessamine's face and teased, "Wow, Noah, where did you find such a beautiful young lady?"It took Noah a moment to regain his senses before he said, "Prescribe some topical medicine suitable for pregnant women."Samuel wrote a prescription as requested. When he heard Noah's request, he held his pen and lifted his eyes to look at Noah with a hint of playfulness."Man, things are moving quite fast for you," teased Samuel.Noah coldly responded, "Stop talking nonsense. She's my … nephew's wife."Samuel was taken aback momentar
