"You've put on some weight," commented Thaddeus. He had clearly noticed her belly fat and enlarged breasts.Panting loudly, Jessamine hadn't recovered from the shock. She did not have the energy to process his remark. All she wanted was to put on her clothes and leave.Unfortunately, she remained tied up like helpless prey.Suddenly, she received an incoming call. The two of them turned to look at her phone.Thaddeus answered the call when he saw it was from Thomas. He put the call on speaker mode. "Grandpa, Jessie is with me."Thomas was irked when he heard Thaddeus' voice. He hadn't forgiven his bratty grandson. With an irritated tone, he snapped, "Give her phone back to her. Why would you pick up her calls?"Thaddeus' eyelids twitched. "Just speak. She can hear you."In response to that, Jessamine said, "Grandpa." She tried to sound normal, but Thomas heard her emotional tone."Jessie, what happened? Are you crying? Tell me what happened. I'll teach that little brat a less

"I can't believe our family has a cursed bastard like you!" Thomas barked. Joe hurried over to calm him down, urging, "Mr. Thomas, the doctor has said not to be upset. You should let the youngsters handle their issues."Jessamine felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Thomas angry. He had just recovered slightly and couldn't afford to get rattled at this moment. She laughed, took Thaddeus' hand, and feigned a relaxed expression. "Grandpa, we were just fooling around. I wouldn't have noticed that he had pinched my hand if you hadn't pointed it out."As she spoke, she looked at Thaddeus pointedly. "You have to be gentle next time, got it?"Thaddeus was forced into agreeing with her, saying, "Yeah, I got it." Then, he affectionately brushed her hair behind her ears.The two put on the guise of a loving couple with their shoddy acting skills. However, they were unaware that Thomas had already heard the conversations about their divorce. "Fine. Just leave," Thomas said with resig

Thaddeus asked, "Officer, if everything is fine, are you going to compensate me for the time I lost? As you can see, I'm very busy."The police officer stuttered at his words. This was the first time he had encountered someone he had arrested who asked such a question. "We'll deal with it after you're proven innocent."Although the officer tried to sound tough, he didn't sound threatening in the slightest. Thaddeus turned around and said to the nosy executives, "The meeting is adjourned!" After that, he took the lead and walked to the elevator.He arrived at the police station in a police car and was interrogated for the first time in his life.The police obtained surveillance footage of the hospital parking lot. In the video, Thaddeus was pulling a beautiful woman and shoving her into the car. They couldn't see what had happened in the car since the windows were tinted. Ten minutes later, Thaddeus and Jessamine came out of the car and adjusted their clothes.The officer pause

When Jessamine was brought to the interrogation room, she saw Thaddeus sitting there proudly. He had always been at the top of the food chain, so he never feared anything.The police officer asked her to sit across from Thadedus. "You can tell us what happened in the car. If it's true, we'll seek justice for you!"Jessamine glanced at Thaddeus from the corner of her eye. In reality, nothing substantial happened in the car. If she insisted that Thaddeus had sexually assaulted her, the police wouldn't be able to conclude anything.After all, since they couldn't see anything on the surveillance tapes, she didn't have any proof. Moreover, given Thaddeus' methods, no one could do anything to him.Jessamine was worried that once the news reached Thomas, it would undoubtedly have a huge impact on him. After weighing her options for a while, she said, "I'm sorry, officers. We're getting a divorce. We fought in the afternoon, but nothing actually happened."The older police officer scoffed

Jessamine planned to take a cab. She didn't want to stay with Thaddeus for another second. It felt suffocating for someone who had been the closest person to her to become a stranger. "You don't need to go through that trouble to drive me, Mr. Rhodes. Just take Mr. Holt home, and I'll take a cab."She didn't even look at Thaddeus next to her. She had a stoic expression on her face and a distant gaze as she spoke. She even called him "Mr. Holt," perfectly emphasizing their alienation as a couple.Jordan didn't dare to get involved in their problems. He glanced at Thaddeus. He had a stoic expression, and an unknown emotion was apparent in his gaze. Jordan had been working with Thaddeus for years, but he had no idea what he was thinking at that moment. So, he didn't know if he should take Jessamine to the hospital or not. Jessamine insisted that he didn't need to do that while Thaddeus remained silent.Then, the ring of a phone broke the deadlock. Jessamine took her phone from her ba

Jessamine got out of the cab and pulled her suitcase. She didn't notice that the Bentley behind her changed lanes after she left the car.The hospital, which was bustling with people during the day, was now quiet. Today was a full moon, and it was high in the sky, accompanied by a few stars. It remained on its spot in the sky, immune to the passage of time.Jessamine once believed that people couldn't remain frustrated or disappointed forever. After losing her mother and grandmother and being abandoned by her father, she married the man she liked at her most lonely and helpless moment. She once thought that her future would be complete upon having a family. However, reality snapped her out of her delusions.Jessamine returned to her senses and went to Thomas' ward.Thomas had slept more during the day, so he wasn't sleepy at all and was more energetic now. He saw Jessamine with her suitcase, looking like she was about to stay in the hospital with him. He scolded, "Why didn't yo

Before Willow died, she had forced Jessamine to buy the cheapest piece of land in the cemetery so that she could pass on without regrets. Jessamine had been the only person she was concerned for when she passed on. So, she asked her to buy the cheapest piece of land to help her save some money.Her grave was in the corner of the cemetery, so Jessamine went there first and placed the two bouquets. There was dust on the gravestone, so she took out a tissue and wiped it clean.When she saw Willow's photo on the gravestone, she felt a tinge of sadness. She asked, "How are you, Grandma? I'll be leaving Zenville in about 20 days, so I may not be able to visit you so often. "You won't be upset, right? I've made this decision without telling anyone, and I hope you'll support my choice. I don't have the courage to keep living here in this city."Just then, there was a drizzle. Jessamine sat on the ground and cried for a long time, her pants getting wet from the rain. Soon, she composed her

Colin no longer looked like the loving father he had been the day before. Instead, he had a ferocious expression on his face. Margaret also looked as if she wanted to eat her alive."Jessamine, didn't you promise to handle the divorce with Thaddeus today? Where are you running off to?" Colin questioned her as he walked up to her. He found out that Thaddeus was at work in the morning and didn't plan to leave. Therefore, he realized that Jessamine had just made a shallow promise to him and didn't plan to divorce Thaddeus.Margaret scolded, "I think you just want to keep my future son-in-law to yourself, you bitch! You should be more sensible and have some dignity. There's no point in keeping a tight leash on him. "Mr. Holt and Amy are a perfect match. You were the one who broke them apart, you bitch! Otherwise, I would've gotten a grandchild sooner rather than now."Jessamine wiped her wet hair and said, "You're the one who should have dignity. After all, being a homewrecker runs

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
