"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

The clacking sound of high heels approached, and Jessamine's face turned pale as she clenched her fists.Outside the door, Sasha and Heather, dressed extravagantly as wealthy socialites, walked toward the private room.Since the manager's pleas were futile, he turned to the two formidable figures.He said, "Ms. Heather, Ms. Sasha, I'm really sorry. The guests in the private room have already begun their meal, so it's inconvenient to move them. "Could I arrange a luxurious room opposite this one for you? I have a list here. If you could put in a good word with Mr. Holt for us, it would greatly help our restaurant."Sasha snorted. "My mother only likes this room. Please ask the people inside to leave immediately. Even if we have to cover the cost of this meal, we must have this private room today."Heather patted Sasha's hand and said, "Sasha, be nice with your words. Your grandfather will be angry if he finds out."Then she smiled at the manager and said, "Manager, I'm truly sor

Oscar nodded, lips quirking as he picked up the wine bottle to refill Jessamine's glass. It was as if he was handing a knife to someone in a fight."Jessie, we're not short of wine. After you're done, I will pour it for you again!" he said excitedly.Sasha was on the verge of snapping. She had spent almost an hour doing her makeup before leaving, and this dress was carefully selected from her wardrobe. Now it was all ruined by that despicable woman."Ah! Mom, look at her!" she cried.Heather's face tensed as she handed tissues to Sasha, trying to control her anger. Her precious daughter had been splashed with wine and it pained her deeply."Jessie, we're family. Let's talk it out nicely. Do you really need to resort to violence? After all, Sasha called you 'sister-in-law.' Can't you show her a bit of courtesy?" Heather asked.Jessamine had long been fed up with Heather's reasoning. Why should she give in to Sasha? Was everyone supposed to treat her like a queen?"Ms. Heather, I'

Oscar cleared his throat and continued pouring wine for Jessamine. "Madam, you'd better worry about your own son first. Our Jessie has both looks and talent. Why bother fighting over a man with someone who's blind and lame? "Instead of wasting your breath here, why don't you hurry up and find a woman for your son? If you wait too long, even blind and lame ones will be taken by others."Heather bit her lips till they turned pale, and she almost couldn't support herself to stand up. "Sasha, let's go!"The restaurant manager led the two of them to the opposite private room and brought fresh towels for Sasha.Sasha was still muttering angrily and threatening revenge. After being splashed twice with wine, she realized that Jessamine had changed. She was no longer as easy to bully as before. But despite her fierce words, she had taken no real action.At this moment, the person Heather had arranged to meet arrived. It was Tamara Sullivan, accompanied by her precious daughter, Wren Sul

At this moment, Thaddeus was in a meeting. Upon hearing the news of Heather fainting, he immediately left the meeting and handed over the work to Jordan. Heather had developed health issues after a difficult childbirth with Sasha, and her condition had not improved despite seeing many doctors. She often experienced dizziness and sometimes even fainted.Thaddeus opened the location sent by Sasha and drove straight there. He didn't even consider that this might be a hoax. Heather hadn't actually fainted; she had called him over for a blind date. At this moment, he was just a pawn in Heather's game to provoke Jessamine.Thaddeus tossed the car keys to the valet and rushed upstairs to find the private room where they were located. When he saw Heather sitting there perfectly fine, his tense emotions eased."Mom, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?" he asked.Heather rubbed at her temples. "It's not necessary. I should be fine now. Just take a break for a

"Mr. Holt, should we bid for the land in the south of the city?" Jordan asked. Thaddeus barely considered it before saying, "Of course we should bid. Why wouldn't we?" He insisted on acquiring the land Xander had his eye on. He would think about what to do with it later on. For now, it was just about giving that scumbag who abandoned his wife and son a hard time. Who gave him the right to cause trouble for the Holts for no reason?The call ended shortly after.Thaddeus walked to the ground floor and heard familiar voices from the front desk. When he turned his head, he saw her. Jessamine and a man who looked older than her were arguing over who should pay the bill. Eventually, the receptionist took the man's card.Thaddeus' steps halted as he stood there observing the man from a distance. Men understood each other. The man's hair was styled, he was dressed formally, and his demeanor suggested ulterior motives. Most importantly, Thaddeus heard the man call Jessamine "Jessie"—th

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
