The relationship between the two of them had entered a heated stage. Benji didn't want to argue with Jonathan in public. No matter who won the argument, it would bring shame to the Moores. However, his attitude was firm, and he would never succumb to evil."I'm just bringing two friends here for a meal. We'll talk later if there's anything," Benji said calmly. He didn't quarrel with Jonathan as usual.Jonathan suppressed his anger after seeing the friends Benji brought this time. At least one of them was a girl, which was a slight improvement."Go on up. We've reserved a luxury suite. Ask the lady what she likes to eat and don't neglect our guest," Jonathan said.Benji wondered what was wrong with Jonathan. Couldn't he see a woman next to him without creating a scene?Benji led Jessamine and Shane upstairs, and the three sat in a luxurious private room. After a while, the waiter brought in various delicacies, all of which were desserts, juice, ice cream, and beautifully arranged f

The video showed Thaddeus looking extremely haggard, with his clothes covered in dirt. He had a stubble growing on his chin, and the look in his eyes was vacant, devoid of any vitality. He knelt before her grave, continuously muttering, "Jessie, I'm late…"Jessamine had never seen Thaddeus like this before. He was someone with a cleanliness obsession who couldn't tolerate even a speck of dirt on his clothes. Yet, in the video, it seemed like he had disregarded everything as if the world had collapsed around him.Jessamine paused the video. She couldn't bear to watch any further. She felt confused, unsure which version of him was the real one.The man who once abandoned her like a worn-out shoe was now grieving at her grave as if he couldn't bear to live without her. He confessed his feelings to her just days ago, only to accept advances from other women shortly after.Jessamine smiled bitterly and shook her head. Why dwell on the past? Why not look forward?Shane's storytelling co

These words were heard loud and clear from where Shane sat."I think you should see an eye doctor. Who is it that spends every night sending gifts to that muscle man during live streams? You've blinded yourself!" Shane snapped.Benji retorted irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why can't I watch him? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Looking at handsome men can prolong your life?'"Jessamine couldn't help but think that this saying was meant for women."Um… Maybe you two should sit together," Jessamine suggested.She felt uncomfortable as the third wheel. It felt like they were trying to show off their relationship without considering her feelings.But as soon as she said it, Benji and Shane immediately refused in unison."There's no need!"Jessamine was left speechless.Soon, it was 8:00 pm. The audience seats gradually filled up, and the fashion show began.Jessamine had drunk too much during dinner, and now she needed to use the restroom. She waited patiently unt

Jessamine was really frightened by Noah's actions, and her face paled."Noah, please stop it. There are security guards outside."Noah completely disregarded her words and spoke his mind which was full of pent-up words. They were simply not on the same wavelength."Jessie, four years ago, I thought you had left this world too. Fortunately, it was just a joke by fate. I won't let you encounter danger again in the future. I…"Jessamine placed her hands on his chest."Noah, please leave. I'll call for help."Noah pushed his glasses and took a step back, leaning against the sink."I'm sorry for scaring you. Maybe I miss her too much. Even your fearful expression resembles hers perfectly. We once watched the aurora in the ice house in Yukosavi, parachuted in the most beautiful sky in Turkai, and skied in Duboi. "We traveled together to the most romantic places in the world, yet she still left me forever. Jessie, the first time I saw you, I thought you were her, coming from another

"Lucas, why did Uncle Xander confiscate your computer? Did you do something naughty again?" Lucas' narrow eyes darted around, immediately denying, "No. Mommy said last time that I shouldn't vandalize other people's websites, and I've been careful. But now I want to use the computer to configure a robot, and Uncle Xander won't give it to me. Hmph!"Just as he finished speaking, Xander's voice came from the phone, "Lucas, who are you talking to?"Lucas immediately put on a flattering look for Xander. "Uncle Xander, you're off work. How hardworking! I'm talking to Mommy. I won't disturb your rest anymore. I'm going upstairs!"Lucas ran upstairs with his phone in hand and locked the door with a click, seemingly caring about Xander but actually avoiding him.Xander had been keeping a close eye on him recently, making him unable to even touch the computer. What a bad uncle!"Mommy, I want the computer. Can you help?"Jessamine looked at the screen, feeling amused and exasperated by L

Of course, Xander had considered this, especially during the days when Jessamine wasn't at home. As their uncle, he had to keep a close eye on the two kids.Layla was relatively easy to handle, but Lucas gave him a headache. Confiscating his computer this time was a lenient punishment."I know. Before you come back, Lucas is banned from using the computer at home. Is everything going smoothly on your end?""Fortunately, Mr. James is quite confident. I trust the people you chose."Xander grunted. "Oscar is casual in temperament, but reliable in his work. Also, if you encounter any other difficulties, tell me. Our family isn't short on money or people.""Got it, Xander. I'll come back after finishing things here."After hanging up the phone, Jessamine regretfully sent a message to Lucas, saying, "Sorry, Lucas. I heard you got into trouble. Before Mommy comes back, the computer is confiscated by Uncle Xander. We'll see about getting it back based on your behavior."Lucas eagerly aw

"Mrs. Holt, I know it's very rude to call you at this hour, but could you please come and see Mr. Holt? He's not doing well right now," Jordan pleaded anxiously.Jessamine sat up in bed. "What's wrong with him?"Jordan hesitated for a moment, intending to tell the truth. Some things could be kept from others, but there was no need to hide them from Jessamine"Mr. Holt drank quite a bit of alcohol and then took some medicine when he wasn't quite clear-headed. Now he's having a severe allergic reaction and refuses to go to the hospital. He keeps mentioning your name. "Mrs. Holt, only you can persuade him. If you don't want him to die, could you please come and talk to him? I really don't know what else to do."Jessamine was startled, remembering what Melissa often said, "Cephalosporin with alcohol is a death sentence"."He took cephalosporin?""No, it's antidepressant medication. Can you please come and talk to him? He's really suffering."Jessamine felt her heart clench when sh

The door creaked open, and Jordan stepped aside to let Jessamine enter first.The living room was lit up and quiet.Jordan rummaged through the shoe cabinet for a while and pulled out a new pair of men's slippers."Mrs. Holt, Mr. Holt has men's shoes here. Please wear these for now. I'll buy a new pair tomorrow."Jessamine looked at the slippers in a daze. She had worn his slippers at home before. Once, while taking a bath, she had wet her own slippers and then ended up wearing his out. After that, those slippers never appeared in the house again.Because of that, she had been sad for a long time.Jessamine kicked off her shoes and hesitated before walking in barefoot."Mrs. Holt, Mr. Holt is in the bedroom."Jordan led the way. The curtains in the room were tightly closed.Thaddeus lay in the center of the big bed, his face flushed, and he was still murmuring incoherently.Jessamine walked over and touched his forehead. Indeed, it was burning hot.Thaddeus shuddered after 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
