"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' expression became serious. "When did she show up?""Our people found her checking into a hotel last night. They kept an eye on her all night and waited until she came out in the morning to confirm that it was her," Jordan answered.Thaddeus took out a cigarette and held it between his fingers. "Book the tickets. We need to go back to Zenville immediately."Jordan was always thorough in his work, and he had already anticipated that Thaddeus would fly back to Zenville as soon as he heard the news."Mr. Holt, I have booked the tickets. The flight departs in an hour and a half. Our car is downstairs. If we leave now, we'll make it to the airport just in time."The two of them stepped out of the elevator as they spoke. Jordan went ahead to open the car door and then drove to the airport at the fastest speed.Back at the restaurant, Thaddeus' departure made everyone feel more at ease. The atmosphere became lively again, completely different from earlier.Jessamine had a hear

Thaddeus sat in the car, holding his phone with a myriad of thoughts running through his mind. Recalling the past, he felt like his existence was an insult to the genes of the Holt family.He wanted to let Jessamine listen to the the recordings he had, but Sophia had been watching them so he hadn't found the opportunity all morning.Jordan drove attentively. "Mr. Holt, your laptop is still at Mrs. Holt's place. We might need to buy a new one when we get back to Zenville. Could you ask Mrs. Holt to help us transfer all our company's important data?"Thaddeus was snapped back to reality when he heard Jordan mention the important data. "It's fine to leave it with her. I'll talk to her about this later.""Mr. Holt, I've obtained Mrs Holt's personal number. I've already sent it to your phone."When they were spending time at Jessamine's place, Jordan had successfully built connections with Kama Jewelry's internal staff and easily obtained Jessamine's number. As a qualified assistant,

"Mr. Holt, I'll give my wife a call first," Jordan said.Thaddeus watched Jordan's back absentmindedly for a while. Now, he didn't even have the right to report his whereabouts by phone.He deeply missed the days when Ressamine would call him multiple times a day, urging him to come home after work. Back then, no matter how late he returned, there would always be supper waiting for him. Now when he returned home, there was only a cold bed waiting for him. He was the only human in their spacious house. Forget about a warm supper. There wasn't even pure water available when Jordan was being careless.It was a blessing being cared for, and it was also a blessing to have someone to care for. Unfortunately, he didn't appreciate the blessing. It took being alone for him to wake up to it.After a moment of self-reflection, Thaddeus took out his phone and texted Jessamine's number on WhatsApp. He waited for a response, but there was none.About ten minutes later, Jordan finished his cal

Thaddeus desperately wanted to send that recording to her, but she didn't even give him a chance to text her.As they boarded the plane and found their seats, Thaddeus remained silent. Jordan glanced at Thaddeus and saw him leaning back with his eyes closed. He knew he wasn't asleep and was just too upset to speak.The words "dirty man" were something only Jessamine dared to use to describe Thaddeus. If it were anyone else, they would have been dealt with long ago. He wished his phone would run out of battery and shut down. That message was like a timed bomb in his phone, ready to ruin his bonus at any moment.Along the flight, Jordan couldn't stop feeling nervous. When they landed in Zenville and exited the international airport, Elene Well, a secretary from the secretary department, was waiting at the pick-up point to pick them up. Spotting Jordan and Thaddeus, she waved and ran over."Mr. Holt, Mr. Rhodes, I'm here!" Elene shouted.Her shout attracted the attention of every

"Let me borrow your phone for a moment," Thaddeus said.At that moment, Jordan felt his heart race. He prayed that Jessamine would stop saying harsh things. He didn't think he could bear it any longer. He unlocked his phone and handed it over before leaning back cautiously in the passenger seat.Thaddeus opened the chat box that had just been active, looking at the message that hurt his feelings. He thought about many things along the way and realized that her disappointment in him stemmed from his past actions. It would take a while to build that trust again.His fingers lightly touched the screen. Soon, a message was sent in Jordan's tone."Mrs. Holt, there are many confidential company files on Mr. Holt's computer. Could you please help keep them safe? There's also a PowerPoint dated for today on the computer. Could you please send it to Mr. Holt's email? The computer's startup password is unchanged."After the message was sent, Thaddeus breathed a sigh of relief. As he waited

Jessamine wiped away her tears and calmed herself down. Then, she opened the folder at the top of the list.Inside were the names Thaddeus had chosen for the two babies, including names for two boys, two girls, and even twins. He considered all the possibilities with more than ten names each. Below it were also some notes on unsuitable names, listing the names of both Jessamine and his relatives to avoid any naming confusion.Jessamine felt her heart sink. It turned out Thaddeus wasn't against these two babies. He also wanted to be a dedicated father.She closed the file and clicked on the next one.Inside were detailed lists of things pregnant women needed to pay attention to, each itemized one by one."Pregnant women in the second trimester can exercise appropriately to prepare for childbirth.""Pay attention to counting fetal movements regularly to assess the fetus' health.""Regularly take multivitamins. Get plenty of sunlight for calcium. Pay attention to adding dietary f

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
