Thaddeus wondered who was the one secretly scheming against others. Now he was being accused of being petty. Who was the real petty one here?"Mr. Patton, you're exaggerating. I'm just doing my duty as a citizen and maintaining harmony in our city. Violations of building regulations ultimately harm the people. Mr. Patton, you can't just focus on making money and disregard other people's lives," Thaddeus responded.Xander chuckled in disbelief. "Mr. Holt, you make it sound like I've done something outrageous. I won't claim to be a saint, but at least I don't harm others unless provoked. Making money has never been my top priority."Thaddeus had no interest in hearing about Xander's business philosophy. What was the point of pretending to be a good person here?"Mr. Patton, don't you plan to get married? What kind of man lets a woman follow him around with such uncertainty?" he asked.Xander was puzzled for a moment, before realizing that this fool was treating him as a rival. He su

Inside the house, Xander dismissed his feelings of displeasure and saw Lucas still focused on assembling the pile of strange things on the ground. He joined in with Lucas to work on it.Jessamine retreated into the kitchen to calm her emotions. She peeked out of the window and saw that Thaddeus hadn't left yet—he was leaning against the car, smoking. She felt that since their reunion, his smoking habit had become even worse. Every time she saw him, he was smoking.She opened the takeout containers Thaddeus had given her. Inside were her favorite empanadas from that restaurant, along with other dishes from restaurants she used to frequently ask him to take her to four years ago.The food tasted the same, and he seemed like the same person. But she didn't feel the same as she did back then.She hadn't particularly loved that restaurant before. She just wanted more time alone with him. He was always busy, only coming home late at night, and their interactions were mostly confined to t

After seeing off Xander, Jessamine wasn't in the mood to tidy up the house. She was brought back to reality by Lucas' excited shout. "Wow, there's a magical dinosaur LEGO!"Lucas hugged the newly opened box of building blocks. He was unable to put it down. This LEGO set was a limited edition released this year, and he had wanted it for a long time. He had asked Jessamine for it several times before, but she couldn't get it through the official website."Mommy, which uncle gave us these gifts? He's amazing to be able to buy the limited edition," Lucas exclaimed excitedly.Jessamine fell silent for a moment. "It's an uncle you haven't met before. He used to be Mommy's boss when she worked in Zenville."Lucas's eyes seemed to sparkle. "Then Mommy, please thank him for me. I love it so much!"Jessamine smiled. "Enjoy playing with them."Lucas couldn't resist opening the other toy boxes. To his surprise, the more he opened, the more delighted he became. They were all toys he liked—rob

"Did you rent your words? Is it a waste if you don't speak?" Thaddeus finally couldn't bear it anymore. What kind of talk was this from his so-called friend?He had come to Benji for advice because he had a relatively good relationship with Jessamine before. He thought maybe he could help him say some good words to her. But who knew this "friend" couldn't be of any help and instead, every word he said hit him where it hurt.He regretted making friends with him.Benji finally shut up and laughed suddenly after a few seconds. "You feel uncomfortable watching someone live as a family of three? "I bet your ex-wife must have felt even more uncomfortable in the past. That bitch of yours couldn't sit still for a day, not only sickening people but also plotting against her. It's a wonder she survived."Thaddeus' expression didn't look good. He had been sick for a few days in a row and had lost a lot of weight. He spoke weakly, "Tell me, what should I do for her to forgive me?"Benji too

Thaddeus squinted and held in his emotions before speaking, "If you keep laughing, I'll just change doctors."Daniel then got serious. "Well, tell me then. How come the big revelation I gave you before didn't cure your old illness, and suddenly it's better now? Did something special happen recently?"Thaddeus confessed truthfully, "I found her in another city. She didn't leave this world four years ago. She miraculously survived."Daniel slapped his thigh. "Well, that's good. Then why did you come to me? That girl is more effective than any treatment plan. She's the antidote to your illness."Thaddeus fell silent for a moment. "Yes, she is effective. I hardly have hallucinations anymore, but I often tremble uncontrollably at night, feel anxious, and break out in a cold sweat, especially when she ignores me during the day. It's very uncomfortable."Daniel looked serious. He cured one problem only to have another one pop up. Thaddeus really knew how to keep him busy. "Come with me t

"I'm leaving." Thaddeus was stunned for a moment, then stood up and grabbed his car keys to leave.Daniel advised, "Don't hesitate. Go and do what you want to do in your heart. If you manage to win her back, remember to bring that girl over for me to see when you have time. Maybe I can help you out a bit."Thaddeus waved his hand and walked out the door.Night had fallen, shrouding everything in darkness. He drove aimlessly on the streets, unconsciously ending up outside Jessamine's villa. Under the lush French plane trees, it was pitch black, and his car was parked there, completely hidden from view. It was as if this place had been tailor-made for him.Thaddeus lit a cigarette, feeling bitterness in the smoke today. He looked at the villa in front of him and smiled bitterly. Now, all he could do was hide here and secretly watch her.This villa was bought with his money from Amy's hands. When he got the house, he went in once. He remembered that the room on the left side of the t

In the darkness, Jessamine's breath got choked up. She wondered if the staff had said something they shouldn't have to the two children, leading Lucas to have such a terrifying thought."Lucas, do you know Dad?"Only then did Lucas realize that he had misspoken. He hadn't paid attention to what he was saying and accidentally blurted out what he had been thinking.He quickly corrected himself, "I don't know. I've never seen him. Didn't you say he went to learn magic?"Jessamine relaxed slightly. But then she thought about it. Lucas was generally more emotionally and intellectually mature than children his age. She couldn't let her guard down.She was mainly worried that being from a divorced family would harm the children's psychological development, especially since Lucas had said such things."Lucas, do you want a dad?"Lucas replied softly, "I do. But I don't want a bad Dad. I want someone who knows how to fight, can fly over rooftops, and treats Mommy well!"Jessamine couldn

Without waiting for Jessamine to respond, Jerome began introducing, "This charity banquet is hosted by Langston Media, and many celebrities will attend. "Since you want to establish your own brand, this is a promotional opportunity. I will also help introduce you to some of the prominent celebrities in our company."Upon hearing about the company, Jessamine felt tempted. "Do I need to prepare anything?"Jerome chuckled lightly on the other end of the phone. "You don't need to prepare anything. I'll come to pick you up in the afternoon.""Okay."Just as Jessamine was about to call Xander to see if he had time to take care of the children, she heard the door opening downstairs.Since Xander had a key to the main gate, he entered the courtyard while carrying takeout containers in his hand. Even though he could enter the house straightaway, Xander still knocked on the door.Xander was quite a particular person, and he would always knock a few times before entering. Jessamine opened

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
