Jordan looked at the elegant Jessamine and thought Thaddeus was a fool.On the other hand, Jessamine was happy. She took the divorce agreement, turned to the last page, and signed her name without hesitation.Jordan felt his heart drop. "Mrs. Holt, why don't you consider it? Mr. Holt is—"Jordan knew Thaddeus was a prideful man. He internally cursed his boss for being this way.Jessamine was very calm. "It's fine." After signing the papers, she returned them to Jordan. "Thank you, Mr. Rhodes."Jordan wanted them to reconcile. Jessamine appreciated his efforts to try to make things better. However, his efforts would just be for naught. There wasn't any hope for this marriage, so she might as well end it while she could. She shouldn't be stuck in limbo. She should be living her own life with her babies.Then, Jordan handed over the divorce agreement to Thaddeus, who was drinking with some friends in the VIP room.The sharp-eyed Benji noticed the title of the divorce agreement. H
Benji was still trying to seek justice for Jessamine. "I can't believe a scumbag like you ruined Jessie's life. If you really divorce her, we'll never talk again."I really can't stand Amy, that bitch. Since we have different views about this, we might as well pretend we don't know each other," Benji said sternly. He wasn't joking in the slightest. He really hated scumbags like Thaddeus.Corvus played peacemaker. "Come on, let's stop arguing about such pointless things. We finally have the chance to get together. When we arrive at shore in the afternoon, we have to get back to work. We're so busy that we can barely meet several times a month."With that, he picked up the glass and downed his drink. But after he did, he noticed that Thaddeus and Benji looked solemn and didn't touch their glasses.He changed the subject and said, "Ted, I found some clues about Lolly. A few days ago, I found an email Lolly had sent overseas. Guess where's the IP address?"Thaddeus perked up at the
"I feel terrible, Ted," Amy whined.Thaddeus knew a little about the pain of childbirth. When Heather had Sasha, he was seven years old and understood a lot of things. He knew that Heather's morning sickness had been severe. At one point, she vomited so much and became so dehydrated that she had to be taken to the hospital.Most people only had morning sickness for a few months, but Heather had vomited for the entire duration of her pregnancy until she gave birth to Sasha. As a result, the whole family pampered Sasha, the daughter Heather had spent blood, sweat, and tears giving birth to. Their coddling ended up making her arrogant and conceited.Thaddeus returned to his senses and put the lunch box on the table. "Come and eat something, Amy. If you keep vomiting without nourishing yourself, you'll fall apart."Amy frowned and said miserably, "I really can't eat anything! I'll throw up after eating it. It's better if I don't eat. I won't feel that bad."Thaddeus felt helpless.
After the phone call, Amy was happy. She started eating the food in the lunch box with a fork.Thaddeus felt a little melancholic. He could hear the anger in Jessamine's tone on the phone and regretted calling her. He felt guilty toward Jessamine. He never wanted to upset her over some sour cream muffins. As he watched Amy eating happily, he remained silent and didn't want to talk.Amy was in a good mood after having a meal. She put away her fork and wrapped her arms around Thaddeus' arm. "Ted, are you worried about me or our son?"Amy took Thaddeus' hand and placed it on her abdomen.For some reason, Thaddeus wanted to get away from her. He felt awkward at her calling her baby their son. "Amy." He jerked his hand away with a cold expression.Amy whined, "Come on, feel our baby! Aren't you curious about what he looks like?""Amy, I don't like children."He wanted to tell her he had never planned to have a baby. However, he feared Amy would make a fuss, so he held back and ta
Amy looked around to make sure no one was there. Then, she secretly took out a packet of powder from her bag. This was the abortion medicine she had requested from a private doctor. She could only feel at ease when she got rid of Jessamine's babies.Jessamine's babies were like a landmine waiting to explode. When she figured things out and told Thaddeus about her pregnancy, things would worsen for Amy.Amy wasn't confident that Thaddeus would choose her between her and Jessamine at the discovery that they were both pregnant. Since she couldn't take a risk, she could only resort to such actions.Sasha noticed Amy putting a bag of white powder into her drink. The white powder quickly dissolved into the liquid. She was shocked by her actions. "Amy, are you crazy?" she asked. "You're pregnant. You can't just take any medicine you want. If you feel unwell, we'll see a doctor when we reach the shore. Don't take any medicine yourself."A ferocious glint appeared in Amy's eyes. "Sasha,
Jessamine glanced at the water Amy handed her in disdain. Did she take her for a fool?"Since you treat me as a sister, why don't we switch drinks? After all, I don't mind, and your drink looks better."Her words stunned Amy, but she quickly recovered. "Jessie, these glasses have the same drink. It's lemonade. It's not that I don't want to switch drinks. I've been feeling under the weather, and I just don't want to let you catch my illness."Jessamine kept her eyes on Amy, staring at her intently. "Since you have a cold, I don't want to touch the glass you used. You should drink both. Since you're ill, you have to drink some hot water. You'll recover faster that way."Amy realized Jessamine had changed. She wasn't as gullible as before. She was clearly more cautious around her and wasn't easily fooled.At this time, Thaddeus had finished smoking and went downstairs, only to see the three women talking. For some reason, he wanted to avoid them. Right now, he didn't want to deal w
Erik took the glass of lemonade and held it to his nose. When he smelt what it was, his expression shifted. "Where did you get this, Ms. Quilton? There's abortion medicine in this drink. You mustn't drink this."Amy was shocked and sobbed, "Ted, I'm so scared! Why did Jessie give me this drink? My baby is only a few weeks old and is no bigger than a tiny egg! Why is she being so cruel to me?"Thaddeus was shocked. He thought they were just having a catfight. He didn't expect something so cruel to happen. He looked at Jessamine in suspicion as if he was questioning her.His doubtful gaze broke Jessamine's heart. "Thaddeus, she gave me that drink, but I didn't drink it. That's why she's framing me now. You can check the surveillance tapes if you don't believe me."Thaddeus just wanted to know the truth, but he didn't want everyone to know about this scandal. He didn't want to cause a commotion by getting people to investigate the surveillance tapes."Jessamine, you said Amy gave you
Jessamine hadn't done anything wrong, so she had nothing to fear. She said calmly, "I already said what I wanted to say. I've never laid a hand on any of these glasses. If you don't believe me, you can get a professional to investigate. You won't find my fingerprints on them."With that, Jessamine grabbed her bag and left the troublesome situation. "Why did you let her leave, Ted? She's the murderer who tried to kill our baby!" Amy yelled. "Enough!" Thaddeus shouted. Then, he walked away, leaving behind a crying Amy and stunned Sasha.In the afternoon, the ship docked. Thaddeus urged Jordan to drive at top speed, and soon, they arrived at the parking lot of Holt Jewelry's office building. "Bring Jessamine's design draft," he ordered Jordan. This issue had been on his mind all morning. He couldn't wait to get to the bottom of it.He hoped Lolly was her, but at the same time, he also hoped she wasn't her. He was conflicted.Jordan didn't know why Thaddeus wanted the draft, but
