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 had already put up the light blue curtains. In contrast to the previous style of his home, which consisted of only black, white, and gray, he decorated this apartment according to Jessamine's preferences.Jordan glanced around the room. After moving everything in, he helped Thaddeus unpack the packages.Thaddeus no longer looked like the cold CEO he used to be. He was now acting like a good family man. He put away the things from the packages bit by bit. As he looked around the house, he always had a feeling that something was missing. He was far less meticulous than Jessamine in these things. "Jordan, do you think I need to buy anything else?" he asked. Jordan finished unpacking the last parcel, which contained a set of couple's toiletries, towels, and cups. He handed them to Thaddeus and said, "Mr. Holt, based on my many years of experience living with my fiancée, I believe you still don't have enough clothes for Mrs. Holt."Jordan remembered something his fiancée o

After a few days, Jessamine composed herself, put on her makeup, and drove to Jaricles Design Studio. As soon as she entered the door, she was greeted with tons of curious gazes. Jessamine wondered what was wrong and why they were looking at her like this. She looked down at her clothes. She wasn't wearing anything inappropriate.When she entered the office, the first thing she noticed was the flowers that filled the room, which could put a flower shop to shame.Judith followed into the office. "Jacinda, things here have been more lively than usual while you were gone. Mr. Langston has people sending flowers every day. "Mr. Holt from Holt Jewelry also comes here in person with flowers, but he leaves when he doesn't see you after waiting for a while.""Mr. Holt has been coming here every day?""Yeah." Judith nodded with a mischievous expression on her face.Jessamine had already expected Thaddeus to pay her a visit, but she never thought that he would drop by every single day.

Jessamine was amused. "This company is now in its start-up stages, and it's also the most difficult time when establishing a brand, so I want you all to think this through. "We're still a long way to go from discussing shares, but as this company develops, all of you will undoubtedly be long-standing employees. So, you'll definitely have a fair amount of shares."After saying that, the designers began to whisper amongst themselves again. Then, one of them said, "Jacinda, I'll keep working with you and build Kama Jewelry from the ground up.""Me too, Jacinda.""Jacinda, I'm not leaving either. I'll stay."…In the end, everyone expressed their desire to stay with Jessamine throughout the company's transition.Their actions moved her. She had recruited everyone there herself. She would be lying if she said she didn't feel a bond with her employees."Then, it's decided. Our company has already been registered. Since our transition is still in its early days, our office will still

Thaddeus returned with some water and closed Jessamine's door as per her request. He then placed the cup on the table, making a slight sound as he did so.However, Jessamine seemed to be engrossed in her work. She continued sketching designs and acted as if he didn't exist.She looked composed on the surface, but in fact, she was flustered. She didn't even know what she was drawing on the paper.Thaddeus pulled up a chair and sat across from her. When he saw that she hadn't stopped working, he pushed the cup forward. "The water's going to get cold. Why don't you drink it before continuing?"Jessamine finally couldn't maintain her calm facade anymore. "Mr. Holt, do not come here anymore. You already have a wife, so it isn't appropriate for you to show up at my door. "The rumors are going to be bad if news of this spreads. Someone of your status shouldn't be serving me drinks."Thaddeus was silent. It was fine as long as she was willing to talk to him. He feared that she would jus

Jerome walked to the window and called his assistant. Jessamine then collected her sketch papers and locked them in the drawer, preparing to leave. Throughout their conversation, they completely ignored Thaddeus, acting as if he didn't exist at all.Just a minute ago, she told Thaddeus that she couldn't have lunch with him because she hadn't finished her work. But now, she and Jerome were about to have lunch together.Thaddeus felt upset upon seeing her blatant favoritism. He felt that the more persistent he was, the more he would drive her away from him.After Jessamine packed up, she took out an umbrella. "Let's walk over there. I want to get some fresh air," she said to Jerome, who had finished calling his assistant.Jerome put away his phone and opened the door, saying with a smile, "Sure."As the two of them were about to leave, Thaddeus felt like an abandoned puppy. Just as he was feeling depressed, Jessamine turned at the door. "Mr. Holt, please take the flowers away.

Thaddeus decided he should just be brazen. He already knew that Jessamine was so much more important than his pride. If he wanted to pursue her, he had to give it his all to do so. He couldn't give up because of a little obstacle. It just wasn't his style.Jerome took Jessamine into the private room according to the directions his assistant had given him. Thaddeus shamelessly followed them and sat beside Jessamine.The waiter brought over three menus, and they started ordering their food.Jerome started, "We'll have some grilled chicken with mango salsa."Thaddeus laughed. "Jessie doesn't like sweet dishes in her main course. She likes seafood. Bring us some grilled salmon."Jerome retorted, "Salmon is too greasy. Bring us some pork stew."Thaddeus didn't back down."It's better to have fresh vegetables when you're working in an office. Bring us some sauteed vegetables."Jessamine simply held the menu in her hand, not having a chance to speak at all. Soon, the two men had alrea

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
