"Quickly, go! It's too late!" Jessamine shouted at him with tears in her eyes. Thaddeus's hands trembled as he reached for the knot, tying her up. He didn't have time to listen to what Jessamine was saying; he was completely focused.However, the knot was tied too tightly. It wasn't something that could be undone quickly.Large beads of sweat dripped from Thaddeus's forehead, falling onto Jessamine's skirt. She pleaded with him tearfully, "Hurry, don't untie it. It's too late..."Thaddeus struggled to keep himself calm, but the knot remained untouched. He glanced back and saw the sea just a few feet away from the car. The car keys were still in the ignition.He made the difficult decision to give up on untying the complex knot.As he walked away, Jessamine's emotions were mixed. She thought he had left. Although she wanted him to leave as quickly as possible, she couldn't help feeling sad when she saw him let go of the rope.But the next moment, she heard the sound of the car s

"She's drowning. Please hurry and rescue her!" The crowd rushed over to see Jessamine lying on the beach, unconscious, and immediately took emergency measures for her. The moment the water was expelled from her chest, Thaddeus's suspended heart finally settled. Jessamine was still unconscious, so she had to be taken to the hospital for safety reasons. Thaddeus held Jessamine in his arms and sat in the back seat while Jordan drove directly to the hospital. After a series of examinations, Jessamine was put on a drip. The doctor suggested staying in the hospital for observation for 24 hours. Jordan went to handle the admission procedures while Thaddeus stayed by her side. Gazing at Jessamine's pale face filled Thaddeus's heart with boundless anguish. If he hadn't been circling the building where she worked, encountering this dangerous scene, the consequences would have been unimaginable. He was terrified. Finding Jessamine in Hajera this time was like a second chance. For

Jessamine was stunned by his words."I mean, in that situation, the chance of survival wasn't high. Why would you risk your life? Besides... I don't want you to die either."Thaddeus only heard the last sentence of Jessamine's speech, and it filled him with joy. So, she hadn't completely turned cold toward him.She still cared for him, afraid of him sacrificing himself, which was why she said what she did earlier.Thaddeus took her hand and pressed it against his face."But didn't we both make it out alive? I'll take the risk even if there's a slight chance. The worst-case scenario is dying together with you, but for me, even that wouldn't be so bad."Jessamine's heart skipped a beat, then she briefly calmed down and pulled her hand back."It's late, and you're tired too. Go back and rest. I'm fine here. If anything happens, I'll call the doctor. Thank you."Thaddeus felt a bitter pang inside. It was akin to being handed a piece of candy, sweet for a fleeting moment, only to be

During the time he spent searching for her, Thaddeus's insomnia, a persistent affliction that had plagued him for four years despite treatment by numerous experts in Zenville, suddenly vanished.He gained a new understanding of life. Perhaps this was her magic.Jessamine lay stiffly, feeling half of her body grow numb. Unable to bear it, she turned over once more. She couldn't fall asleep with him here.Thaddeus's eyes involuntarily glanced toward her. "Jessie, if you can't sleep, do you want to see something?"Jessamine, indeed, couldn't sleep, and it would be pointless to continue her act. They had slept on the same bed for three years. He wasn't stupid. He could tell the difference between pretending and actual sleep."What do you want to show me?"Thaddeus suddenly bounced up from the bed and handed her a document. When Jordan finished the admission procedures, he brought over the property transfer documents.He handed them to her and said, "Jessie, take a look. You're wealt

The folder was forcefully pushed back into Jessamine's hands again.How had four years turned him from an icy CEO into such a shameless man? Time truly was a miraculous thing."So you're giving all this to me and still have money left for yourself?" she asked.Thaddeus chuckled. "In addition to working for you these past four years, I've had other side businesses, too. My income is still decent. Of course, if it makes you happy, you can give me some pocket money."Jessamine felt her scalp tingling from his words. Despite their divorced status, the way he spoke made them sound like an affectionate couple. He even had the audacity to ask for pocket money. His shamelessness was beyond words. Jessamine suspected Jordan had given him some lessons."Um... keep the money. I don't need it. Leave the other properties for your child."Thaddeus's expression turned grim. He knew she cared about Amy's child. "Jessie, I don't have a child!"Jessamine turned her face away without saying a wo

Thaddeus tentatively asked, "Can I just turn around while you change?"Jessamine was speechless. Where had his dignity gone? He seemed like a completely different person now, as if he had been possessed. Where was the icy CEO?"How about I poke your eyes out first?"Thaddeus obediently stepped out upon hearing this.Jessamine took out the dress, noticing its high-quality fabric and design without a logo. However, she found a golden mango logo on the lining and instantly understood.This was a couture piece by Graham Brown, a renowned designer. As far as she knew, it usually took at least three months to make an appointment with Graham Brown. The fact that Thaddeus casually brought this dress showed it wasn't custom-made recently.Jessamine held the dress in her hands, conflicted. She didn't want to wear clothes he prepared for other women, but she had no choice. Right now, it was either this dress or continuing to wear the hospital gown. After much internal debate, she deci

Jessamine stepped out of the room and took a few steps before remembering the dress she was wearing. She stopped and asked, "How much is this dress? I'll pay you back later."Thaddeus's lips trembled. "Jess, this dress was originally prepared for you. There are many more in the house. If you like this style, you can wear a different one every day.""No, thank you," Jessamine politely declined. Thaddeus had no credibility in her eyes now. She had chosen to believe him countless times in the past, only to be disappointed every time. After hearing countless stories of the boy who cried wolf, she had become one of the villagers and no longer easily believed anything he said.She didn't believe his claim that the dress was prepared for her.After Jessamine left, Thaddeus felt troubled for some time. He knew he had a lot to do next. He needed to prove through actions that he had truly turned over a new leaf, that he was earnestly pursuing her and seeking her forgiveness.Jordan's

The bodyguards immediately went to untie the rope. Once the man was free, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and stretched his muscles. Just as everyone thought he was about to say something, he suddenly lunged at Thaddeus with a dagger.It turned out he had been prepared all along. He intended to deceive Thaddeus into coming over, planning to end his life with Thaddeus.However, he underestimated the reaction speed of the bodyguards. Two bodyguards restrained him before he could get close to Thaddeus.The short dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.His plan failed. At that moment, he broke down. His eyes turned bloodshot as he cursed loudly and struggled to move forward, kicking in the air trying to fight Thaddeus."Thaddeus, you killed my son! I won't let you off even if I die!" He shouted furiously.Thaddeus casually sat down on a clean chair. He looked relaxed, displaying the demeanor of a superior."Are you nut? Although I'm not a good person, I've

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
