"Don't be afraid, Jessie. I'll be right by your side. I won't go anywhere," Thaddeus murmured. Suddenly, Jordan hurried over from the company with some documents that urgently needed to be signed. "Mr. Holt, we can't delay these contracts anymore. We'll have problems in the company's operations if we do this again. Please look through them."However, Thaddeus ignored him. He had been sleeping in the cemetery for so long that he already had stubble on his chin.Jordan didn't have any other choice with those shareholders forcing his hand. They were clamoring to hold a meeting to elect a new CEO to take over Thaddeus' job.Therefore, Jordan was determined to bring Thaddeus back. "Mr. Holt, the shareholders are demanding that you step down from your post."Thaddeus slumped in front of the grave, hugging the headstone. He said indifferently, "That's fine. I'll have more time to be with her."Jordan looked at his boss in pity. He had worked with Thaddeus for years, but he had never se

"What did she want you to investigate?" Thaddeus asked. As a private detective, Zade knew that confidentiality was the most basic thing he had to enforce. However, Jessamine, the woman who had employed him, died unexpectedly. The reasons for her death were unclear, and all of this had happened because of Thaddeus.Therefore, Zade felt sorry for her. Since he had been helping her investigate the situation over the years, he could understand the suffering she had been through. After more than five years, he had already regarded her as a friend.He was also furious with Thaddeus. He wanted to tell him about the things Jessamine had been through and make him reflect on his foolish actions in the past."Jessie suspected that Amy and Margaret were the ones who murdered her mother, so she had been looking for proof."Thaddeus narrowed his eyes. He only knew that Jessamine's mother had passed early and that Colin married Amy's mother after that. However, he wasn't aware that there had be

Zade was furious. Even as a bystander, he sympathized with Jessamine's situation. Amy and Margaret had done vile things. Anyone who heard of their actions would feel the urge to take them down a peg or two. "Mr. Holt, Jessie's situation was definitely not an accident. I went to investigate some things. That driver was driving the wrong way on the road and was moving towards her at an extremely fast speed. "No matter how nimble a person was, no one could've dodged that. Besides, I found out that the driver had been in contact with Amy's mother before the accident. He had 500 thousand dollars credited to his bank account that day."Zade made it very clear that the driver wasn't an ordinary person at all. Instead, he was a killer whom someone had hired with the purpose of killing Jessamine.Thaddeus already knew about this. After all, Jordan's subordinates had also gotten this information.However, he had been to the mental hospital where Margaret stayed and had seen her medical re

At this point, Amy realized that Thaddeus must have discovered something. With his methods and connections, it wasn't surprising that he found some information. She dared not touch her phone, but it kept ringing repeatedly, the sounds reverberating through her soul.She carefully raised her eyes to meet Thaddeus' murderous gaze. Then, she quickly looked away, not daring to see him at all."Ted, my mother must've called me by mistake. You know that she's in shock and is getting treatment to recover from her mental issues. I'd better turn off the phone."Amy bent down to take the phone and turn it off. However, when she was about to grab her phone, a large hand snatched it away from her. Thaddeus then pressed the answer button and put the call on speaker.The air in the living room was eerily quiet. Then, Margaret's voice came from the phone. "Amy, are you asleep yet?"Upon getting zero responses, Margaret continued, "Goodness, I can't believe you've never inherited a single bit

Amy cried, tears covering her face.However, Thaddeus still maintained his cold yet calm expression. He seemed to have carefully considered this decision and wasn't being impulsive in the slightest. "Have you not considered that this would happen when you did such vicious things to your own sister?" he asked. Amy remained stubborn. "I've never thought about harming Jessie! She's my sister! We share the same blood. How could I bring myself to harm her? I was just speaking out of anger. I didn't expect my mom to take my words seriously!"She now pinned the blame on Margaret and made herself seem like the innocent one. She cried so miserably that Thaddeus would've believed she was innocent if he hadn't discovered the truth.Thaddeus feared women crying the most. In the past, he would relent as soon as Amy cried. But now, he only found her actions mocking. He felt as if she had mocked his intelligence.Amy was too good at faking things. She had assumed a pure and beautiful facade,

Thaddeus shoved the pill into Amy's mouth without even giving her some water. Amy tried to spit it out, but the pill had already gone into her stomach. She slumped on the ground in utter despair.After making sure that she swallowed the medicine, Thaddeus stayed there for another half an hour, probably because he was afraid that she would try to throw up the pill.Half an hour later, he returned to the car and told Jordan, "Go to the mental hospital."After getting his orders, Jordan immediately drove to the hospital where Margaret was staying. He was overjoyed to see Thaddeus finally pull himself together and teach that bitch Amy a lesson. It was unfortunate that Jessamine couldn't be alive to see it.It was night, and dark clouds had covered the city. It had probably been a while since it rained, so it was now raining heavily.Soon, they arrived at the mental hospital.Thaddeus opened the door and got out of the car, holding a huge black umbrella. He looked at the hospital un

Margaret tried to argue, "Who are you people? How can you arrest someone for no reason?"The police officer scoffed, "We don't show mercy to murderers like you. It's only a matter of time before we arrest you. Accept the law's punishment!"Margaret struggled, "Let go of me! I never harmed anyone! I'm a lawful resident! You can't just arrest anyone you see! I'm going to report you people for police brutality!"As she cried, she was dragged and pushed into the squad car.The leading police officer approached Thaddeus. "Mr. Holt, we'll let you know about the progress of the case. Thank you for the report. If you have more information, please send it to us. We'll seek justice for the victim.""Thank you." Thaddeus was terrifyingly cold on this stormy night. He looked at Margaret, who was still struggling in the police car, and trembled with anger. He was going to make her suffer.After the police left, Thaddeus returned to the car. "Tell the people in prison to show her the greates

Thaddeus heard the screams and strode closer to the bathroom. Clara was staring in horror at the giant teddy bear on the bed. Thaddeus asked her to look after Amy, but she went missing under her care once more.Thaddeus frowned when he saw the empty bed.Clara knew that she was in trouble and was about to cry. Ever since Amy disappeared all night that day, Thaddeus had repeatedly ordered Clara to make sure Amy never left her home. She couldn't go outside, and no one was allowed inside their home.Clara was in tears as she said seriously, "Mr. Holt, Ms. Quilton was still here in the middle of the night. She said she had a stomach ache and wanted me to get her some water. How could she have gone missing in that amount of time? "Mr. Holt, I really didn't let her leave. I've been so cautious even since you gave me that reminder. I slept very lightly, but I never heard the door open at all."Things were still fine when Clara never mentioned what happened last time, but now that sh

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
