"Mr. Holt, why did you take so long in the restroom? Do you need help with the toilet paper?" Yara had just finished speaking when a voice from the crowd said, "I'm here." Everyone turned around to make way, and Thaddeus, dressed in a high-quality suit, stood tall and distinguished behind them. Yara hung up the phone, pouting coquettishly. "How annoying! You're already here and still taking phone calls. Is your phone bill cheap?" Suddenly, the scene quieted down, with only the sound of music playing. Jessamine never expected that the high-class man mentioned by Yara was actually Thaddeus. She chuckled inwardly. Obviously, that woman had investigated her thoroughly, knowing everything about her and Thaddeus' relationship. No wonder her hostility was evident.Thaddeus didn't respond to Yara's words but his gaze was fixed on Jessamine. After a few seconds of silence, he strode through the crowd. "Jessie, you're here too. I'll give you a ride later."Jerome stepped forward to b

Thaddeus furrowed his brow. "Did she say such outrageous things to you?""If you don't believe me, just forget I said anything. She's your mother, and you choose to believe her over me. I can understand that."Jessamine had already gotten used to him not siding with her. Now that they were divorced, there was nothing to blame him for any more. In her heart, nothing was worth it anymore.Thaddeus' lips twitched. "Jessie, I believe you. How could I not believe you? Whether the doors of the Holts are open or closed is up to me to decide. Whoever I want to let in doesn't need anyone else's say. "If you don't like Mom and Sasha, you don't have to interact with them. I won't force you to do anything. You're the one I want to spend my life with, not them."Jessamine's gaze sharpened as she asked, "Who wants to spend their life with you?"This shameless guy. What beautiful dreams was he having!Jessamine refused him outright, leaving Thaddeus looking defeated. "Jessie, besides you, a

Jessamine was still more accustomed to his cold and indifferent demeanor."Don't drink anymore, especially when Jordan isn't around."She felt that his alcohol tolerance was really poor—he'd black out after just a few drinks, and the next day he wouldn't even remember if he'd been taken advantage of. If Jordan wasn't there to accompany him, she didn't know how many times he'd have been manipulated by women. He might've even had his pants pulled down.Getting deceived by Amy after drinking was nauseating. Although nothing substantial happened, the fact that he fathered a child after drinking was disgusting to everyone.Thaddeus thought Jessamine was caring for him, and his dark eyes flashed with warmth. "Jessie, if you don't want me to drink, I won't. I'll quit.""It's up to you. I'm just reminding you not to black out at social gatherings anymore. Getting someone pregnant after a drunken night is not something Mr. Holt would want to experience again."Thaddeus fell silent for a

Thaddeus took a deep breath, feeling a bit unsettled. He was not a man of many words, nor did he like to explain himself, but he didn't want to create misunderstandings between them that couldn't be resolved.He had never looked down on Jessamine. On the contrary, he thought she was too beautiful. Even in gatherings filled with celebrities and socialites, she stood out. He just wanted to keep her hidden away.In the past, he hadn't understood his own feelings. Looking back now, he realized that it was his possessiveness toward her. If any man glanced at her, he would feel uneasy. That was probably what love felt like."Jessie, I didn't look down on you. Don't you think your makeup at that time was too heavy and glamorous? And your dress had a slit up to your thigh. Was that appropriate for others to see?"This time, Jessamine laughed in exasperation. "Mr. Holt, it's the modern era. Can't I show my legs? Look around. How many women are completely covered by their dresses? According

"Moreover, we're husband and wife. In our marital life, we're both important participants. Instead, I feel like you should give me gifts after we sleep together. After all, I'm the one putting in more effort, but it seems like you're the one who enjoys it the most," Thaddeus claimed.Jessamine blushed fiercely at being caught off guard. She wanted to cover his mouth. She glanced around cautiously, making sure no one had overheard before relaxing."What nonsense are you spouting?"Jessamine stopped in her tracks, hitting him on the shoulder in annoyance.Thaddeus closed his mouth but felt a warming sensation blooming in his heart. He rarely had such close contact with her. He felt like he had a better chance of pursuing her after finally opening up and dispelling these misunderstandings that made him uneasy.On the other side of the dance floor, Jerome and Yara moved mechanically, like two emotionless dancing machines without any communication. Both of them had their eyes fixed on

Jessamine rubbed at her ankle. High heels were like torture specifically designed for women. Despite wearing them often, her feet still blistered, and if she kept dancing, they would surely break open soon.Thaddeus followed her movements and noticed the redness behind her feet. His brows furrowed, and he immediately took out his phone and dialed Jordan's number."Bring a pair of flat shoes for Mrs. Holt. Also, go to the pharmacy to buy some iodine, topical medicine, and band-aids. Come over right away."Jessamine looked up at him."No need. It's not that serious. I'll just sit here for a while without moving, and then I'll go home."Jessamine guessed that Jordan also had a family. They got engaged four years ago, but he still hadn't brought his wife home. It was probably because of Thaddeus, who had him on call 24/7 without any breaks. Jordan might resent her in the future for troubling him to bring shoes for her late at night.Thaddeus didn't understand what Jessamine meant.

After all, working under Thaddeus was tiring, but the money was genuinely earned. For office workers who had no luxury to choose where they worked, they went where the money was.But now, when Thaddeus saw Noah staring at Jessamine with that predatory look in his eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine.Jessamine couldn't evade Noah now, even if someone reminded her to do so.She quickly turned her face back and asked, "Do you think there can be two completely identical people in the world?"Thaddeus handed her a piece of dessert and even thoughtfully picked up a disposable fork for her."How can there be two completely identical people? That would throw the world into chaos. What's on your mind?"Jessamine couldn't help but confide, "It seems like Noah has mistaken me for someone else. Someone very close to him. Probably his girlfriend."Thaddeus felt like his mind exploded."Has he done anything to you?"Jessamine shook her head."Not really. When I was in the Holts, Noah

"Other than the incident at the golf course, has he ever bothered you?" Thaddeus asked, his nostrils flaring with anger.Jessamine swallowed the food in her mouth before replying, "There was also the time when you were sick with a fever. He came to your house after daybreak, but I ran away quickly, so he didn't catch up with me."Thaddeus was furious to learn that Noah had chased after his wife all the way to his house, right under his nose. It was simply outrageous!"Jessie, do you want to move back to Jardin Estate? Come back and see all the things you left behind—your favorite cup, kitchenware, the handicrafts you made, and all your clothes are well-preserved. Lana has been taking care of the flowers you planted, and they bloom every year."Jessamine raised an eyebrow. She wasn't falling for his trap. How could he think a few words would lure her back? She wasn't the naive girl who married him right after graduating from college anymore.Ending things meant moving forward. Why

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
