"Grandfather, here. Wipe your sweat," Thaddeus said as he handed the towel to Thomas.This was the first time in four years that he had taken such an initiative and dared to speak to Thomas.Thomas took the towel and gave Thaddeus a sideways glance. Lately, he had heard many rumors about how Thaddeus was once again neglecting his duties and was considering giving up managing the company, just like four years ago.Thaddeus hadn't set foot in the company for over half a month, not even for meetings, and opted for remote work instead.Thomas had cursed at him many times in his mind. "If you don't want to work, step down early and don't ruin my company," Thomas snapped.Thaddeus was puzzled. "Grandfather, what are you talking about? How could I ruin Holt Jewelry? It's the result of three generations of hard work."Thomas snorted disdainfully. "I may be old, but I'm not blind. How long has it been since you visited the company? Is this how a CEO should behave?"Thaddeus raised an eye

As Thaddeus and Thomas chatted, Noah came out from the house carrying a cup of hot tea."Dad, you seem to be in a good mood today. Did Ted find a new girlfriend? He should bring her home one day and let everyone meet her. Let's quickly set a date for the wedding," Noah said. Although his words sounded well-meaning, they were laced with darker intentions. Everyone knew how much Thomas cared about Thaddeus' private life. After losing Jessamine and his two grandchildren, he couldn't stand the thought of Thaddeus having a new love interest. Even when Heather introduced women to Thaddeus, she did it behind Thomas's back. If not, Thomas would surely have gotten mad and scolded Thaddeus himself.But today, Noah's plans had gone awry. Instead of getting angry, Thomas' face wrinkled even deeper with a smile."You're right, Noah. Ted has found a wife, it's Jessie. She's alive and well!" Thomas revealed.Thomas was excited and eager to share the news with everyone in the house.Noah was

Corey didn't dare directly refute Thomas' words out of fear that it might upset him, so he subtly expressed his disbelief. Thomas slammed his fork on the table with a serious expression. "You two act like spouses, but when your son's marriage is in trouble, you turn a blind eye and don't help resolve it. What kind of attitude is that? If Jessie comes back this time and you still behave like this, then move out of this house," Thomas snapped.After the scolding, Thomas glanced disappointedly at Sasha, who was eating and drinking without regard for others."What kind of example have you two set for your children? If you can't educate them properly, you might as well not have them," Thomas said disappointedly.Heather kept her head down, not daring to speak. When Thomas was angry, he wouldn't show anyone mercy; it was best to let him speak in such situations.Corey coughed a few times. He was obsessed with the antique market and usually left everything in the house to his wife to ma

Jessamine looked surprised. Lucas had always enjoyed tinkering with electronic products. But she didn't expect that the robot he had been assembling for so many days actually had such advanced functions and could even be used for protection."Lucas, is your robot really that powerful?" Jessamine asked.Lucas raised his chin slightly with confidence."Of course. Uncle Xander gave me the highest quality materials. It's also combined with my powerful knowledge. I can definitely assemble the most powerful thing. It'll be finished in another two days. When it's ready, allow it to protect you," Lucas said.Jessamine was momentarily lost in thought. She thought that the idea was feasible. If the robot made by Lucas was indeed that powerful, maybe it would be useful to put it in her office."Lucas is amazing. Mommy will rely on Lucas' robot for safety!" Jessamine praised.Lucas finally saw a hint of a smile on Jessamine's face, and he felt happy too."So, Mommy, don't worry. I'll drive

Thaddeus struggled to speak, "It's just that a friend of mine argued with his wife. Now, his wife's responses to his messages are just 'Yeah' or 'Oh.' What does that mean? Does she not want to talk to him?"Jordan suddenly chuckled and slowed down the car."Mr. Holt, your wife is being soft-hearted. She doesn't want to ignore you, but she's still angry. At times like this, don't give up. Backing down will only make your wife angrier. You have to swallow your pride and continue to coax her!" Jordan advised.Thaddeus' tone deepened and he grumbled, "I'm talking about my friend!"Jordan couldn't help but cough. "Mr. Holt, let your friend continue to pursue her. Also, never win an argument with your wife. Don't try to reason with her. If she says a deer is a horse, then agree it's a horse. If she insults you, insult her back. "Whatever she says is right. Don't argue with her. Men who win arguments with their wives usually end up single."Thaddeus' face paled, then he flushed with em

Soon, employees started showing up for work. They saw their CEO glaring at the clock-in machine with a strange expression. No one dared to approach, and within a few minutes, a crowd had gathered at the entrance.With hands on his hips, Thaddeus grumbled, "Who's responsible for this system?"Jordan felt bad for the HR department. He replied, "Mr. Holt, the clock-in system has always been managed by the Administration department. There seems to be a bug in the system. I'll have someone check it."After hearing that, Thaddeus was finally willing to move away. As soon as he stepped away from the system, the sound of the clock-in machine rang out behind him."Beep. Clock-in successful.""Beep. Clock-in successful."Jordan remained silent while walking. Everyone's clock-ins were successful except for Thaddeus, who received that insulting message tone.Jordan pressed the button for the HR department's floor and exited the elevator when he reached. He needed to personally investigate

Thaddeus was concerned about things in Hajera and wanted to finish up his accumulated work quickly before flying back to find Jessamine. Although he was afraid that this matter might delay his return journey again, he was determined to thoroughly investigate Fyrewall.In the afternoon, the people Corvus had called for arrived at Holt Jewelry.Jordan ushered them into the conference room on the top floor."Esteemed experts, this time we need you to uncover the true identity of this hacker, Fyrewall. The price is up to you; our CEO will not be stingy," Jordan said.The leader of the group was a tech expert employed by Corvus' company. Since Corvus ordered him to go assist them, he didn't dare to ask for compensation."Mr. Rhodes, you're joking too much. We will do our best," the leader said.Computers were set up on the table, and the hackers began their investigation, preparing for a confrontation when Fyrewall came online.They refused to believe that they would lose to just one

After introducing Oscar, Xander asked him, "Oscar, I remember you went on a blind date not long ago. It didn't work out, did it?"Oscar chuckled. "It was arranged by my mother last time was arranged. I just went through the motions. One should be satisfied by their own major life events. How can they be taken lightly?"He glanced casually in Jessamine's direction, feeling inexplicably happy as if something good was about to happen.Xander raised an eyebrow. "It's good that it didn't work out. If you weren't single, I wouldn't feel at ease handing this matter to you. Jessie has internal management issues at her company in Zenville, and I need someone I trust to handle it. I wouldn't trust anyone else. Are you willing to go?"Oscar remained awkward for a few seconds before clearing his throat. He thought Xander was going to pick him as family, but apparently not."Mr. Patton, do you want me to stay there long-term?" Oscar asked.Xander coughed. "Things in Hajera also rely on you. Y

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
