Jessamine only relaxed after she entered the elevator. She felt she had made too big of a demand—5% of Holt Jewelry's shares was a lot. She made this request back then because she was angry and thought Thaddeus wouldn't agree to her terms.Even if he were willing to give it, he would still state some terms on his own. She didn't expect him to readily give her 5% of his shares to her as compensation for their divorce.This made Jessamine understand how important Amy was to Thaddeus. He was willing to give up a quarter of his net worth for Amy's sake. He didn't even try to bargain with something else.Jessamine pulled her hand away from his grip. She looked at him through the elevator's reflection and asked, "Do you want to rethink this?"Thaddeus looked forward and met her gaze in the reflection. "You can just take the shares. Since this document is ruined, I'll get Jordan to bring another one. We'll sign it again."Then, they stopped talking. After exiting the elevator, they walke
Jessamine now considered Thaddeus to be her ex-husband. "When did Mrs. Holt leave?" he asked.Lana placed the broth on the table. Then, she put some bowls and tableware and arranged them neatly. At this moment, she realized Thaddeus and Jessamine had encountered another problem in their relationship.Since Thaddeus didn't know Jessamine was traveling, they probably had another fight.Lana recalled her conversation with Jessamine and replied, "She left with her suitcase the morning after you both returned from the cruise. She said she was going on a trip and would return in a few days. I thought you knew about that."Thaddeus' expression turned dark. At this moment, he didn't have the mood to eat dinner anymore. He was too pissed for that. They had many chances to discuss this in the hospital, but Jessamine hadn't mentioned anything. She probably felt that he didn't need to know about this. She was already free from the marriage, and the two of them merely needed to complete the f
"Grandpa, don't say that. It's just a dream. You didn't actually see her." Jessamine hurriedly wiped her tears away.Thomas smiled kindly at her comment. "You never know. People are sometimes able to see the deceased when they're in a weak state. I really saw Willow, and she said she wanted to end her friendship with me," he said sadly. He began to tell Jessamine his story. "I had been classmates with Ted's grandmother and your grandmother, and we even passed the college entrance exam together. "Back then, the three of us were the only ones who had passed, and I scored higher than the both of them. We then applied to go to Zenville University of Finance together. We've been friends for decades!"Thomas was in tears as he continued, "I'm truly incompetent. I can't even discipline my children and grandchildren, so I still lost to her in the end. It's fine. That's how amazing of a person she was."Jessamine burst into tears. "Grandpa, don't say that!"She touched Thomas' forehead.
Joe and the two caregivers stood aside, unable to intervene. Jessamine handled everything herself. She wanted to repay Thomas' kindness to her before she left.Thomas was the only relative she could trust.By the time Thaddeus arrived, Jessamine had already fed Thomas. They were sitting next to each other while she told him jokes. She never had a sense of humor, and her jokes weren't funny to Thaddeus at all. At the very least, they sounded dull to him. However, Thomas kept laughing at them.The atmosphere in the ward turned cold when Thaddeus showed up, and both of them fell silent.Thaddeus felt helpless. These two were really isolating him. They even left him out of a joke."How are you feeling today, Grandpa?" he asked, walking to Thomas' bed.Thomas was already very disappointed in his grandson."I felt better when you weren't around."Thaddeus was pissed, but since Thomas was willing to talk to him, things probably weren't that serious. He didn't know what had come over Tho
Amy glanced at the door from her position and saw Thaddeus glaring at them coldly. She felt awkward as she glanced at Colin. "Dad, stop talking about this…"Colin was still overjoyed that Amy was pregnant with the Holt family's heir. He didn't notice Thaddeus' arrival at all. "Why should I? Everyone gives their family possessions to their sons, but I don't have a son. If I had one, I would—"As soon as he said that, everyone's expressions shifted.Colin then realized he had slipped out and said what he thought.He cleared his throat and continued, "Amy, just be Thaddeus' wife with peace of mind. Don't forget to help out my business and convince Thaddeus to help. I don't have much identity or power, so it's hard to maintain my business. "My company only managed to reach this point because I always go drinking to maintain my clientele. My liver is about to fail from the amount of alcohol I've been drinking."Amy's face darkened. She knew Colin loved her the most and always agreed
Now, it seemed that Thaddeus didn't come here in vain. There was no point in just talking to her on the phone. He had caught her red-handed eating some snacks.Thaddeus said sternly, "You're not allowed to eat these unhealthy snacks from now on. You need to maintain a mild diet. I'll have someone prepare your meals and send them over."Upon hearing his words, Colin thought Thaddeus had come to his senses. After hearing that Amy had his heir, he was finally willing to show concern for Amy and her baby. He even wanted someone to deliver all three of her meals. It was as if he feared Colin wouldn't feed Amy and her baby. That wasn't true at all. He loved his grandchild more than anyone else."That's very sweet of you, Mr. Holt. Amy is lucky to have you," Colin said gently.Amy wiped her mouth after vomiting. She could finally talk now. "Ted, I feel so uncomfortable. I can't even eat anything when I'm hungry. Don't worry, I won't eat these snacks anymore. "As you can see, I've vomi
After Thaddeus left, the Quiltons had an impromptu family meeting.Amy panicked as she watched Colin walk in circles. "Dad, hurry up and come up with an idea! I'm getting dizzy just watching you pace around!"However, Colin kept on walking, his mind on overdrive. Once Thaddeus became serious, things would become tricky. They wouldn't be able to hide anything from his perceptive gaze.Margaret comforted her, "Calm down, Amy. Our main goal now is to get your marriage certificate with him and use your marriage as a guarantee. "Even if Thaddeus discovers something in the future, he won't take things too far for the sake of his son. As long as the baby is born, your relationship with Thaddeus is set in stone."Margaret's words snapped Colin out of his trance, and he snapped his fingers. "You're right. We just need to force him to register your marriage, and we'll be set!"Amy groaned and said, "What are you guys talking about? He hasn't even divorced yet, so how can I marry him withi
Margaret mistakenly thought Jessamine was at the hospital to confront Amy. Why else would Jessamine turn up at the inpatient ward? Margaret thought Jessamine must have gotten hold of Amy's location to harass her when she and Colin weren't around!Of course, Margaret wouldn't have it. She warned Jessamine, "Try showing up again, and I'll tell Thaddeus you're here to hurt his son."Based on Margaret's panicked behavior, Jessamine concluded that Amy must have gotten hospitalized because she had fallen ill. She snorted and snapped, "Margaret Miller, you and Amy are serial homewreckers. What's there to be scared about?"Margaret was triggered by the term "homewrecker". She snarled, "Bitch! Who are you calling a homewrecker?"Jessamine took a step backward to keep a safe distance between them. She said, "You and your daughter are both homewreckers. Do you really need me to say that out loud?"Margaret stomped angrily and growled, "Your dad and I fell in love! He lied to me, saying tha
