Margaret remained calm. "He can't do anything! He's just a browbeater who intimidates others into doing his bidding."Her words made Colin snap. "What the hell do you know? You're just an ignorant wench who can only sulk and throw tantrums! You, of all people, have no right to judge me."However, Margaret simply smiled and remained silent. She had already seen this bastard's true colors. If she upset him, he would divorce her and marry a younger woman at any time. If that happened, all of Margaret's efforts would be in vain. She would leave her legacy as the biggest laughingstock of the century. For women her age, it didn't matter if their man returned to their side. Their children and reputation were more important. Otherwise, they wouldn't have any purpose to live.As long as she was still Colin's wife, she would be respected everywhere she went. No matter how many secretaries Colin had, they still had to nod and greet her with respect.Therefore, Margaret could only smile at
Amy really couldn't come up with a better idea. However, things were different now. She was now carrying the great-grandchild of the Holt family. No matter what, Thomas wouldn't treat her harshly and would have to show deference to her."Let's give it a try, Dad."And just like that, they had made a decision.Colin brought Amy and Margaret to Thomas' ward. He had gotten word that Thomas was staying in the VIP ward on the top floor.Soon, they arrived at the top floor. Amy let out a nervous breath. She was still a little anxious. However, she felt a lot more confident since she had Colin and Margaret's support this time. There was also her baby as a trump card.Thomas had just finished his call with Jessamine. After hearing that her fever was gone, he relaxed. Suddenly, a knock came from the door. Joe went to open it, only to see the Quiltons standing there with slightly nervous expressions. He knew about Thaddeus entangling himself with Amy. Therefore, it was inappropriate
"Mr. Thomas! Mr. Thomas, please don't scare me!" Joe shouted.One of the caretakers ran to get the doctor while the other hurriedly brought a washbowl, fearing that Thomas would vomit blood again. Soon, chaos ensued in the ward.Joe was so frightened that his hands were trembling. Thomas couldn't take any more surprises in his condition.A few minutes later, Dallas hurried in with several doctors to check on Thomas. If something happened to Thomas under their care, their hospital would be in danger of closing down.Colin and his family stood in shock. They didn't expect things to turn out this way.Amy thought Thomas would just scold her since he didn't like her. Instead, he vomited blood without even saying anything. If Thaddeus knew about this…She was too afraid to even think about it.Colin was a prudent man. He realized something was wrong and hurriedly led Amy and Margaret out of the ward. "Hurry, let's go!"Since he had angered Thomas, he feared that Thaddeus would bankr
Meanwhile, Amy brought Colin and Margaret to her home in Jardin Estate, which Thaddeus had bought for her. She realized the gravity of the situation, and now, she could only hope that Thomas was fine. Otherwise, Thaddeus wouldn't show her mercy, even if she had his child. She felt she was getting further away from her goal of becoming Thaddeus' wife."Dad, look at what you've done. What do we do now? If anything happens to Mr. Thomas, we won't be able to stay in Zenville any longer." Amy was about to cry in panic.Of course, Colin was frantic as well. He simply pretended to be calm around Amy and Margaret. "Calm down," he said. "I've checked with the people at the hospital, and they said Mr. Thomas is fine. He's just unconscious and will be fine when he wakes up.""Dad, do you seriously think we'll be in the clear if Mr. Thomas is fine?" Amy scoffed. "Who do you take Thaddeus for?"Upon hearing her words, Colin couldn't maintain his composure any longer. "Stay put, Amy. I'll go
When Thomas insisted on something, no one could change his mind.Joe brought a paper and a pen. "Mr. Thomas, everything is ready."Thomas leaned on the pillow. Looking around the ward, he said slowly, "I'll give 15% of my shares to both Corey and Noah. Both of you have the same amount. I trust that's fair?"Corey stepped forward and held Thomas' hand. "Dad, we're family. We don't care about that."Thomas continued, "Heather has been with our family for many years and has kept everything in order. She's a good person. I'll hand over all the properties under my name to you and Sasha."Heather wiped her tears and said, "Dad, you're still strong and healthy. You should take care of those properties yourself."Everyone was about to cry except for Sasha, who was overjoyed. Thomas had properties all over the country. With the money she earned from selling either one of those properties, she could live comfortably for half a year. She used to complain that Thomas favored Jessamine more
Right now, everyone in the room wasn't calm in the slightest. Corey was fuming, but he dared not voice his dissatisfaction. Although Jessamine was a well-behaved daughter-in-law, he neither liked nor disliked her. At the end of the day, she was still an outsider. Moreover, he heard that Thaddeus and Jessamine were getting a divorce. However, Thomas still gave almost half of his possessions to her.Corey didn't find Thomas' decision to give his assets to any of his family members unfair. However, he felt uncomfortable that Thomas would give his assets to an outsider who had only been part of the Holt family for three years.At this time, Heather and Sasha were even more uncomfortable.Heather had been married to Corey for decades, had children, respected Thomas, and even took care of her husband. She had kept the family in order, but all she got in return was some of Thomas' properties. Those properties were just a drop in a bucket compared to what Jessamine would get. She wa
Jordan drove back to Jardin Estate and parked outside Thaddeus' home.Thaddeus looked outside and said coldly, "Drive to House No. 17."Jordan didn't know why Thaddeus asked him to drive there, but he could only follow his orders.Thaddeus looked unhappy, so Jordan dared not ask any questions. It was better to remain silent in situations like these.Thaddeus got out of the car and rang the doorbell. After a few moments, Amy opened the door, wearing her loungewear and an anti-radiation vest."Ted…" Amy knew she was in the wrong, so she feigned looking miserable, her eyes turning red. She greeted Thaddeus miserably as if she had endured a lot of humiliation.Thaddeus gave her a sharp look, scaring her so much that she lowered her head. He walked past her and looked around the home. It was exactly the same as the one he and Jessamine lived in. He knew Amy had asked him for money to buy a home, and he promised to give her some. However, he didn't know that this insane woman had act
On the other end of the line, Margaret said maliciously, "Don't worry, Amy. I'll handle this. Since that bitch doesn't want to leave, we only have one way to go about it. "We'll make her disappear from Thaddeus' life forever. When she's out of the picture, Thaddeus will be single again."Amy wiped away her tears. "Mom, will she really disappear?""Definitely. She'll definitely disappear off the face of the earth, just like her bitch of a mother."Amy composed herself, finding a glimmer of hope. "Then, we'll look forward to her departure."…Jessamine sneezed in her sleep. Although her fever was gone, she still felt weak and lethargic. Due to her cold and fatigue from the past few days, she simply wanted to lie in bed.She told Melissa about her situation. As her gynecologist, Messlia advised her to rest in bed, avoid overworking and staying up late, and drink more water to stimulate her body's metabolism. She needed at least a week to recover from a self-resolving disease lik
