Jessamine nodded, "Yes."Lucas pushed his luck and asked, "Mommy, can you help me ask for leave every day?"Jessamine became serious. She was a little worried about this son of hers. He always had endless mischievous ideas in his head, and they never knew what he was planning. He wasn't as obedient as Layla. How could it be okay for him to dislike studying at such a young age?"Lucas, Mommy is giving you and your sister leave due to special circumstances. After this period, you still have to go to school."Lucas responded disappointedly, left the dining table and went to tinker with his robots.After having a little food with Layla, Jessamine took the document given by Thaddeus back to her room. It was too dark last night to see clearly, but there was actually a stack of property deeds in the bag, bulging the folder.He was serious about it.Jessamine put the things away. She needed to buy a new phone. The company was just starting, and there were a bunch of things waiting for h

Sophia immediately became aware of Thaddeus the moment she saw him. Her brother had instructed her to keep an eye on Thaddeus and not let him be alone with Jessamine. After a few seconds of reaction, she immediately leaned over and sat on the couch, occupying the entire seat."Jacinda, I'm not leaving. You wouldn't want to see me homeless, right?"Jessamine sighed and sat in her office chair.Thaddeus's gaze swept over Sophia with his unpleasant expression. Just after driving away Jerome, here came Sophia. Could the Langston siblings just leave Jessamine alone?He didn't say much in front of Jessamine, as there was a more serious matter to talk about."Jessie, here's your new phone."He pushed the new phone he had bought that morning toward Jessamine. It was the latest model from a popular brand which was hard to get. Jessamine didn't know how he managed to get it."Thaddeus, you don't have to keep coming over to my place all the time. I can get Judith to buy this for me."Je

Jordan knew his bonus for the month would double when he finished speaking and saw the appreciative look Thaddeus gave him.Jessamine was surprised to hear that he had bought a house here. She had only heard from Xander last time that Thaddeus was looking for houses. Xander even notified all the offline stores not to sell houses to him. Within a few days, he had moved into his own house now? Jessamine thought to herself that someone as picky as him would definitely not be able to tolerate staying in a hotel for long. Moreover, buying a house through an agent probably wasn't the only option available to him. He could do anything with his money.Jessamine was left speechless looking at the pile of items on the desk.Fortunately, she had personally picked and bought the largest desk for convenience. Well, Thaddeus got to enjoy it now.Sophia couldn't sit still on the couch anymore. If Jerome heard about what Thaddeus did, she wouldn't be able to collect the final payment from him. P

"Mrs. Holt, sorry to disturb you. I am helping Mr. Holt to set up the equipment."Jessamine had just checked last month's bills and hadn't started sketching yet. Hearing Jordan address her as Mrs. Holt brought back memories."Mr. Rhodes, you should change the way you address me. Thaddeus and I are already divorced."Jordan scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Alright, Mrs. Holt."Jessamine was left speechless.Before the two could clarify how to address each other in the future, Thaddeus pushed open the door and walked in with a pair of glasses on his nose.Jessamine remembered that he used to have perfect vision. It was the first time she had seen him wearing glasses. It toned down his sharpness considerably and made him appear much more refined.Thaddeus sat down in front of the TV, crossing his hands on the desk.There was another multimedia conference room in the company, but they insisted on crowding into this one. Jessamine didn't know if Jordan did it on purpose or if

The HR manager on the other side was all smiles. This was really good news. Seeing that Thaddeus was in a good mood today, she followed up with another question, "Mr. Holt, how much is the budget for the annual dinner?"Thaddeus raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Around thirty million."Everyone was stunned by his answer. Although Thaddeus was not stingy when it came to employee benefits, this thirty million annual dinner expenditure was unheard of in the entire country. They could already imagine how extravagant it would be.The HR manager, Ms. Zeller, suddenly had an idea. "Got it, I'll make sure the task is completed!"As Jessamine finished tidying up the miscellaneous items on the desk and prepared to leave, Thaddeus grabbed her wrist."Jessie, do you want to say something?"Jessamine glared at him and bypassed him, leaving with her belongings.Thaddeus coughed awkwardly. "She doesn't want to speak. Let's start the meeting now. First, let's discuss the outstandin

Jessamine repeated, "Delete them!"Thaddeus rubbed the back of his neck, looking reluctant. "Jessie, this is my computer," He said to imply that he had the authority to decide what was on his own computer and couldn't simply delete something based on her request. After all, some of those photos were copied from her old phone, and others were candid moments he had captured accidentally. During the four years she was away, those photos had been with him through countless days and nights, holding special meaning for him.Jessamine's expression remained stern, sparing him no smiles. "Mr. Holt, does this behavior of yours constitute a violation of my image rights?"Thaddeus fell silent for a few seconds, realizing she was really upset. He couldn't afford to provoke her now. It was hard to calm her down when she was angry. With a sigh, he lightly slid his index finger across the touchpad. After a few moments, he looked up, feeling a bit awkward under her scrutiny."Jessie, I've delet

"Let's end our friendship," Thaddeus replied.Thaddeus glanced over at Jessamine, who was focused on her work, showing no consideration for his proposal to eat together. He had to come up with another plan.As lunchtime approached, Jessamine saw a lunch invitation from Judith in the company group chat."Attention! We are having our lunch at Reverie Delights today. Mr. Holt has reserved a floor in return for using Jacinda's office. Please finish up your work, shut your computers down, and gather at Reverie Delights at noon. No one should be absent!"Jessamine felt frustrated as she read the message in the group chat on her computer. Thaddeus was sitting in front of her as if nothing was happening. He must have assigned tasks to Jordan behind her back again!Thaddeus felt a sharp gaze when he was about to text Jordan. He lifted his eyes and saw Ressamine's resentful expression. He knew she had seen the message.Feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart, he thought to himself tha

Thaddeus put on disposable gloves and started peeling shrimp. In no time, half a plate of the shrimp was peeled and put on Jessamine's plate.The employees occasionally glanced over at the table where the three of them were seated when they were enjoying their meal. Sensing everyone's gaze, Thaddeus peeled the shrimp even more vigorously to make sure that everyone knew he was peeling them for Jessamine.His recent behavior undoubtedly told everyone that he was pursuing her!Thaddeus was a legendary figure in the jewelry industry. The designers rarely had the chance to interact with him, making them very curious about him.Witnessing Thaddeus pursuing Jessamine, they couldn't help but sneak a few glances over here. Thaddeus and Jessamine were already a pair of couples in their eyes.At the same time, Jessamine's employees had been chatting in their private group chat."Am I seeing things? I saw pink bubbles. Is Mr. Holt pursuing Jacinda?""The shrimp peeled by Mr. Holt must tas

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
