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

The car involved in the accident was none other than the car Jessamine had sold two days ago. She was glad she sold the car. Otherwise, she and her babies would've been involved in that accident. At the same time, she hated that she sold her car and brought misfortune to someone else.This accident was identical to Elizabeth's car accident back then. The police even gave the same excuse—the brakes had malfunctioned.Jessamine didn't believe that such a coincidence existed. She composed herself and recalled the events that had happened recently. Then, she remembered Margaret's and Colin's ferocious glares when she encountered them in the hospital parking lot.It was clear that they had something to do with this. At the very least, they were the prime suspects. Once again, Jessamine was shocked. Colin was truly a cruel husband, son, and father. It was very likely that he had colluded with his mistress, Margaret, to kill Elizabeth. He abandoned his mother and daughter. And now,

Amy was already at the end of her rope. She was tense. She didn't have much time left. She couldn't just sit around and do nothing. She was suffering, so there was no way she would let that bitch Jessamine live in comfort.Clara Hunter, the caretaker Thaddeus had sent over, was making dessert in the kitchen.Amy composed herself and left the bathroom. She walked to the kitchen, approaching Clara with a fake smile. "Are you busy, Clara?"Clara stopped working and turned with a smile. "I'm baking some biscuits. I noticed that you ate well this morning. "Mr. Holt has told me that you need more nutritious food while you're pregnant. So, I'll try to make as many types of food as possible. Just let me know what you like."Amy smiled and asked, "Clara, I want some fish fillets. Can you make me some?"Clara smiled. "You don't have to be so courteous, Ms. Quilton. You can just let me know what you want. Fish is good for the baby. I'll call Justin and ask him to buy some."After saying

"Jessie, those crazy bitches desecrated your mother's grave," Zade said. Then, he comforted her, "Don't worry, the people at the cemetery are already fixing things."Jessamine's phone fell to the ground with a clack. She didn't hear what Zade said next. In an instant, she lost her rationality.Hatred began to fill her entire being. She wanted to wreck Margaret and Amy and drag them to Elizabeth's grave to make them atone for their sins.Jessamine wouldn't do anything illegal. She couldn't find any proof of Margaret and Amy's involvement in Elizabeth's car accident, but they had caused trouble at her grave in broad daylight. She couldn't bear it. Only those familiar with her would know what to do to hurt her the most.Amy and Margaret knew that Jessamine cared about Elizabeth. Even though she was dead, they could still ruin her mother's grave to make her suffer.Right now, Jessamine couldn't care less about the dangers of leaving her home. Her heart ached when she thought of how

People couldn't be pushed around like this.Zade didn't know how to comfort her, so he decided to stay by her side, fearing that something would happen to her again.Jessamine's voice was hoarse from crying. She croaked, "Zade, do you have any criminal contacts?"Zade glanced at the two napping security guards warily. "Let's talk about this when we get home, Jessie."Jessamine's clothes were still wet, so Zade had covered her with a coat. She slowly sat up, holding the bedrest, and said, "Get a few people for me. I'll pay you however much you want."Zade became stern. "Jessie, we can't do anything illegal."Jessamine's eyes were red, and her fingers were injured from digging in the soil. Zade didn't even know if it was paint or blood. He felt the pain just looking at it."Jessie, I should bring you to the hospital."Most people wouldn't be able to handle this much shock, let alone a pregnant woman like her.After some persuasion and comfort, Zade finally managed to bring her t

"You haven't recovered from your cold yet?" Thaddeus asked tentatively, walking over to her. But when he saw her bandaged hands, he became gloomy. "What happened to your hands?"Jessamine didn't want to talk to him. His first love was the reason for everything she had suffered. If he hadn't been flaky and given Amy this much leeway, Amy wouldn't have committed such vile actions every time.Shane stepped forward and shielded Jessamine behind him. He stared Thaddeus down and said, "You've got a lot of nerve to ask that. You should ask your dear mistress about her oh-so-valiant deeds."Thaddeus frowned. He had put Amy on house arrest. Shane was making baseless accusations."I wasn't asking you. Get out here, Jessamine!" Thaddeus yelled at Jessamine, showing an air of superiority.Jessamine was silent and walked out from behind Shane. "Thaddeus, let's finalize our divorce. You must have a way to get past the grace period. I can't take this anymore. I beg of you!" she said weakly, begg

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
