"Have someone courier my property transfer documents to Hajera. Then, you can bring them to Jaricles and hand them over to Mrs. Holt," Thaddeus instructed. Jordan was affected by Thaddeus' contagious good mood and lightened up as well. "Alright, Mr. Holt." He was about to contact his colleagues in Zenville when his phone vibrated in his pocket. He looked at his phone, and coincidentally, it was a call from his colleague in Zenville. He answered the call in front of Thaddeus."I have bad news, Jordan! Someone hacked our company's official website!"Once again, Fyrewall pulled off another big move against Holt Jewelry after hacking the company's check-in system last time. The voice on the phone was so loud that even Thaddeus heard it. He turned on his laptop and opened the Holt Jewelry on his browser. The cartoon pig showed up again, and it wasn't alone. The screen was full of cartoon pigs sticking out their tongues at him.Thaddeus frowned and was about to snap. The problem

Jessamine took a sleeping pill and finally had some good sleep. Over the course of one night, she accepted that she had to live her life even after crossing paths with Thaddeus once more.Lucas and Layla hadn't been to kindergarten for days, and her top priority was to enroll them in another one.After washing up, she approached Xander. She wanted to ask him about the kindergarten Layla had mentioned the day before and suggested they visit it together when they were free. However, when she arrived outside the study and was about to knock on the door, she heard a conversation between Xander and Charlie."Mr. Patton, we've dealt with the woman who harmed Ms. Patton," Charlie reported. "Thaddeus Holt is a cruel man. He tortured her and pushed her to the brink. We simply put her out of her misery.""That woman already had murders under her belt. She should've been executed a long time ago. Any news on Amy Quilton's whereabouts?" Xander asked."We haven't found her yet. We should've

Xander explained, "Margaret harmed your mother for two reasons. She wanted to take her place as Colin's wife and transplant her heart into Amy's body. "They were the ones behind this vicious plot. Margaret has died in prison, while Amy has escaped from Zenville. Our people have been looking for her for four years, but we still can't find her."Jessamine felt uncomfortable. "Since Amy already has a healthy heart, does that mean she was just faking it when her condition acted up?"Xander nodded. "That's most likely the case."At the thought of her mother's heart being in the person who had harmed her, Jessamine felt her hatred welling in her chest. She wanted to rip that bitch into shreds.Xander was worried that she couldn't handle the shock. "Jessie, since you already know the truth, there's something I want to discuss with you. "I plan to move Aunt Eliza's grave to Hajera. She had been through too much in Zenville, so we shouldn't leave her in that godforsaken city. What do yo

There were a lot of voices of discussion outside the door. "Is that guy really the CEO of Holt Jewelry? He looks even more handsome in person!""Goodness, I can't believe I met the top CEO in this industry. He's here to see Jacinda, though. What relationship do you think they have? He's not trying to buy out this studio, right?""I told you that Jacinda isn't a regular person. She actually knows the industry's big shot. Since she does, why doesn't she work at Holt Jewelry as a designer?""Do you even know what you're saying? We don't earn as much as Jacinda. Even after taking this many orders, we still don't earn as much as someone who works for another company.""You have a point, but Jacinda doesn't look like someone who's short of money."…Thaddeus ignored the whispers outside the door. He carefully looked around the office, which had been cleaned. The windows gleamed, with a wind chime hanging in front of it.The folder on the table had the name "Jacinda Patton" on it. It w

"Let's find somewhere private to talk!" Thaddeus said. Although Thaddeus and Jerome said they were about to talk, they sounded as if they were about to fight.Jerome was familiar with the area, so he brought Thaddeus to a park behind the office building. It was almost noon, and the sun was scorching. The park was empty, and even the equipment was hot. There were cafes and restaurants nearby, but Jerome believed that Thaddeus, the bastard, didn't deserve such pleasantries."Go ahead. Ask me anything you want." Jerome lazily sat on a stationary bike as if preparing to face off with Thaddeus.Thaddeus felt a tightness in his chest. Four years ago, he knew this bastard was interested in his wife, but he kept his feelings to himself. But now, he was declaring war.At this moment, he regretted not giving Jerome more beatings and crippling him when he was still overweight. "What the hell are you doing?" Thaddeus asked. Jerome placed his legs on the pedals and replied calmly, "As y

"We'll see. I won't let you win," Jerome spat. Then, he stood up and left without saying anything else. He knew he couldn't win Jessamine over with just his charms. Since she had her heart broken before, she wouldn't believe in love so easily. He believed he needed to give her some time and slowly give her a sense of security. As long as he was diligent, he was sure he could win her heart.Thaddeus stood under the bright sun for a long time, the impending danger rendering him helpless. As someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he had never felt this way.He had many admirers over the years. Countless women, including supermodels, celebrities, and wealthy heiresses, would try to charm him. However, other than Jessamine, no other woman had ever caught his interest.As Thaddeus watched Jerome leave, he suddenly realized he was a hopeless fool regarding relationships. He already felt extremely uncomfortable when Jerome declared they should fight for Jessamine fair and square

Thaddeus walked around the car, happy with its appearance. Then, he unlocked his phone and took a photo. He posted a tweet of it with the caption, "The car she loves."Jordan handed Thaddeus the keys, wondering when his boss' aesthetic sense had changed.Thaddeus looked at Jordan and said, "Get in the car."Jordan was confused for a moment. Did Thaddeus want to drive the car himself? Throughout his years as Thaddeus' assistant, he had always been the driver, so he had never been Thaddeus' passenger.Jordan feebly opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.Thaddeus was in a good mood and showed off his driving skills. He found the car a joy to use and was satisfied with every part of it, except that it could be too fast.Jordan held the armrest tightly, his heart almost leaping out of his throat. Sure enough, not everyone could handle Thaddeus' driving. He felt his stomach churning as he watched Thaddeus skillfully turn the steering wheel and overtake the other cars on the r

Milton simply remained silent with a smile on his face. He understood the situation very well. With Thaddeus' unruly personality, he wasn't surprised if he had offended someone powerful.He asked his butler to bring a notebook and pushed it in front of Thaddeus. "Pick whichever one you like. Let me know if something catches your eye. Don't be shy."Thaddeus wasn't one to be bashful. He picked up the book and looked through the available properties. Soon, he found a house that wasn't too far from Jaricles Design Studio.According to the information, it was a 2400-square-foot apartment with a view of the river. It was also located on a floor that he liked."Mr. Winchester, I want to buy this one," he said. Milton took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "You have a keen eye, Ted. I just bought that one the year before last year. Everything there is still brand new. "That apartment also has the floor-to-ceiling window and river view you youngsters love. Go ahead and live the

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
