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

"Let's go," Jessamine said.After that, Xander's assistant took the car keys and escorted the two straight to the airport.…Thaddeus, along with several IT staff, finally caught sight of Fyrewall coming online just before the end of the workday."Fyrewall is here, Fyrewall is here!"A shout brought everyone's spirits up. They had been waiting all afternoon, strategizing, and finally caught Fyrewall online just before work ended. They were determined to uncover Fyrewall's true identity today.Thaddeus put down his work and waited for the IT staff to catch Fyrewall."Fyrewall is too cunning. He's designed all the information to be confidential, making it almost impossible to find his real name.""Don't be discouraged. Every person is bound to leave loopholes. I refuse to believe he has no oversight.""Yes, let's attack from all angles. Each of us will be responsible for a different direction."The conversation among the IT staff filled everyone with confidence. They were all r

The office fell silent as everyone held their breath, waiting for a result."Mr. Holt, we've got it. The address is in Parilis District."Thaddeus heard the name "Parilis District" again, the same as what Corvus gave him last time. Parilis District was vast, making it difficult to find someone."Do you have more details?" Thaddeus asked."Yes, I'll send them to your phone right away," the staff member said.Thaddeus picked up his phone, and when he saw the detailed address, his brows furrowed deeply."Parilis District, Sweeney Street, Jadeston Villa."He clearly remembered that Jadeston Villa was where he sent Layla last time, which was Xander's house.So this was his doing?Thaddeus recalled that he and Xander had little interaction, whether in business or privately. The only contact they had was four years ago when Xander approached him on the cruise ship and said some inexplicable things. Suddenly, he felt enlightened, thinking about Xander's recent attempts to buy proper

Shane noticed Oscar, who was walking with Jessamine, and quickly caught up to them. He walked a few steps faster, lowering his voice as he asked, "Who's this gentleman behind you? He doesn't seem too bad"He thought Oscar might be Jessamine's new boyfriend. If they were in a relationship, he would have to test him for the sake of his good friend.Jessamine chuckled lightly. "Shane, let me introduce you. This is Oscar, the COO of Xander's company. He's here to help me with the issues at Quilton Corporation. After all, I don't have much experience in this area. Can we drop Oscar off at Xander's house first?"Upon hearing that Oscar was here to help, Shane smiled warmly. "Of course, how can we leave Mr. Oscar behind after he came all this way to help? Let's drop him off first."Shane treated Jessamine like his own people and didn't think too much about what he said. However, when he finished speaking, he noticed Oscar casting a somewhat hostile glance at him. That look made Shane unde

On the other side, Thaddeus repeatedly played the voice message sent by Jessamine. No matter how he interpreted it, there was a male voice talking to his wife, calling her "Missy" and mentioning Zenville. Thaddeus felt slightly uneasy in his heart. Another man besides Jerome appeared next to her. They seemed to be walking together. Combined with Jessamine's words and implications, Theaddeus thought of something. Could it be that Jessamine had returned to Zenville?As he thought about this, he immediately called Jordan in. "Do you have Jessie's assistant's number?"Jordan thought Thaddeus was planning to return to Hajera, and so Jordan was also eager to go back. After all, he didn't feel at ease leaving his wife alone in the hotel over there."Yes, Mr. Holt, I do! If you're worried about Mrs. Holt, let's fly back tomorrow. Mrs. Holt has refined features and I'm sure she hasmany admirers. You can't take that lightly!"These words struck a chord with Thaddeus. Those despicable men w

"You open the door. I'll watch you go in," Thaddeus said.The last kidnapping incident was still fresh in his memory. He had to make sure Jessamine got home safely and locked the door before he could relax.Jessamine didn't respond any further and simply opened her bag to find the keys. But the more anxious she became, the harder it was for her to find them. In the end, she squatted down, emptied her bag, and turned everything upside down.She felt like slapping herself. She remembered putting the keys in her bag before leaving, but they were nowhere to be found. She most likely hadn't put them in.Thaddeus stood by quietly, watching her struggle to find the keys. He noticed her embarrassment at not having the keys."Jessie, do you want to go back to Jardin Estate?" he asked.Jessamine, squatting on the ground, hesitated for a moment. Then she picked up her belongings one by one and put them back in her bag."No need," she replied.Hearing the two words "Jardin Estate" gave her

The next day, Jessamine and Oscar arranged to meet at a well-known restaurant in Zenville.Jessamine knew that dealing with the Quilton Corporation's business in Zenville was a tough task, and Oscar was willing to come only because of his close relationship with Xander. She had to extend her hospitality and express her gratitude.She left an hour early to avoid traffic, and the ride-hailing car was already parked outside the villa.Sanitation workers were cleaning up the streets, and cigarette butts were scattered under the sycamore trees.Jessamine absentmindedly got into the car after a few seconds.Thinking she was early enough, Jessamine was surprised that Oscar had arrived before her."Mr. James, I'm sorry for being late," she said.Oscar was dressed in formal attire today, with his hair neatly styled with wax. This attire gave him the demeanor of a social elite, making him appear much more reliable than yesterday.Of course, Jessamine never doubted his capabilities. Anyon

"Quilton Corporation's industries specialize in automotive parts manufacturing. I've already contacted one of their partners, Mr. Lloyd from Bejeweled Group. We're meeting tomorrow at the Lime Golf Course in Westro. If you're interested, you can join us," Oscar said.Jessamine was stunned. She hadn't expected Oscar to infiltrate the enemy's ranks and arrange meetings with Colin's company partners.Well, in that case, she could relax and enjoy the meal now.Oscar was a social guy, and there was hardly a dull moment during the meal thanks to him. He effortlessly livened up the atmosphere with light and entertaining topics.Although Jessamine was naturally humorous, she found herself laughing numerous times thanks to his wit.Halfway through the meal, the restaurant manager knocked on the door with an apologetic expression."M.s Patton, I'm really sorry, but a lady would like to switch to your private room. Would you mind?" he asked.Feeling a bit guilty, the manager added, "We can

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
