She gently pulled open the drawer and saw that her things were still untouched there."Thaddeus, there's actually something I've been unable to understand. How did my sketches end up in Amy's hands? When I finished drawing, she hadn't even started working at Holt's. Did she…"Before she could finish her question, Thaddeus interjected, "She never came to our house."Thaddeus had answered quickly, his voice raising a few decibels."Jessie, she never came to our house, so don't be upset. Your sketches probably got mixed up with my files. Later, I thought about it carefully. She might have seen them in my files and taken them."Jessamine believed this explanation. Amy was capable of such shameless acts."Jessie, I'm sorry," he apologized for the theft of her sketches. "It's my fault."The study had a small balcony. Jessamine opened the door to the balcony and walked out, gazing at the night sky. A solitary crescent moon hung in the pitch-black sky.Thaddeus followed her."Jessie,

Jessamine looked at Shane's message and smiled faintly.Thaddeus caught sight of the slightly mocking smile."What are you smiling about?" he asked.Jessamine reined in her emotions and replied, "Nothing, it's just company matters."She forwarded Shane's message to Oscar, and Oscar replied immediately, "I think this might be the best opportunity!"If she hadn't had to wait for a result during her time in Zenville, she would have gone back to Hajera long ago. Although she trusted Layla being at home, she still missed her. Her company also had a pile of things for her to handle.Jessamine's mood relaxed a bit as she thought about what gifts to bring back to her family. Thaddeus had deliberately slowed down the car, yet they still arrived at her house doorstep in the blink of an eye. Time always passed quickly when she was with him.Jessamine got out of the car, took out her keys, and opened the door. Thaddeus followed her and peered inside."You should go back. I'm sorry for the

Xander knew he couldn't hide this for long, and he had been careless today. He played with Lucas in the living room, listening to the sound of the car engine. Lucas hurriedly ran to the yard to find Jessamine and he didn't stop him. In the end, that damned guy saw it.He pressed his tongue against his teeth. The next moment, his fist swung without warning, landing directly on Thaddeus' face.Thaddeus staggered and almost fell. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and the taste of rust filled his mouth.He steadied himself after a pause, but he felt ecstatic about getting beaten up. Xander's reaction proved he was right. There was no man beside Jessamine. That boy was his treasure, his heart, the continuation of his and Jessamine's lives!He had feared it was just his imagination, but the fiery pain on his face told him otherwise. His two treasures had safely come into this world.And the lovely little girl, Layla…He couldn't help but laugh out loud. He wanted to kneel at h

Thaddeus came again to deliver things. Outside the door, the pile of toys formed a mountain, with Jordan directing a worker to unload boxes one by one. This time, they brought an extended SUV.Jessamine suspected this guy had emptied the toy store. Otherwise, why would he move all these things here? If it weren't for the spaciousness of her home, she wouldn't have room for all the toys he brought.Jessamine went out and was startled by the sight of the things scattered on the ground. She hadn't seen clearly from upstairs. It turned out there were also boxes stacked up to a person's height in the corner. Most likely, they were all toys."Thaddeus, what are you doing?" Thaddeus seemed to be in a good mood. Despite sporting two big black eye circles and a face full of bruises, his smile couldn't hide his exhaustion."I'm delivering toys."Jessamine was annoyed. "Are you trying to start a kindergarten with so many?"Jessamine was unaware of what happened in front of her house last

Just as Jordan finished moving the things, Jessamine handed him the medicine box. "Give some medicine to Mr. Holt to prevent his injuries from worsening."Jordan glanced back at Thaddeus and chuckled. "Mrs. Holt, my hands are a bit dirty. Won't it cause inflammation if I get bacteria on Mr. Holt's face?"Thaddeus tentatively asked, "Jessie, can I come in for a drink of water?"Without hesitation, Jessamine refused him. "It's inconvenient. If you're thirsty, I can bring the water out for you."Thaddeus cleared his throat and then decided he wasn't thirsty anymore. "Never mind. I won't trouble you."After a few seconds of pause, he asked again, "Why hasn't your son come out? What is he doing at home? What are his hobbies? Does he like sports? Is he a picky eater? Does he like soccer?"Jessamine was bewildered by the barrage of questions. This man seemed unusually concerned about Lucas today, and she didn't know what he was up to.Jessamine became alert. "My child doesn't like stra

The video ended quickly. Thaddeus closed it and refreshed his messages, feeling a bit disappointed when nothing new popped up."Why is it over? Did you only record one?"Jordan said with an aggrieved tone, "Mr. Holt, it was a covert recording. Don't let Mrs. Holt know, or she'll scold me."Thaddeus raised his eyebrows and complained, "It was only a few seconds long and it was a side view. You didn't even capture his face!"If Jordan had known this would be the result, he wouldn't have recorded it. He risked getting scolded by Jessamine to show Thaddeus this blurry video of Lucas. And now, he was scolded for it. What was the point?"Mr. Holt, don't be impatient. It's not like your son will run away. We'll come back a few more times, and you'll see him eventually. Once Mrs. Holt's anger subsides, your family can reunite."Thaddeus' eyebrows relaxed a bit. This sounded like something he could agree with.He opened the previous video again and watched it repeatedly. In the video, Lu

Hmm… When would he hear Layla call him "Daddy"?Thaddeus opened the chat box with Layla, but the conversation was still stuck on the message he sent a few days ago, and Layla hadn't replied. He sent her another voice message. "Layla, do you want to come to Zenville?"The car soon arrived at Holt Jewelry. Thaddeus got out of the car and took the CEO's private elevator upstairs. In the elevator, he kept refreshing his conversation with Layla, waiting for her reply.When he reached the top floor and saw the empty space outside his office, Thaddeus paused for a moment. Instead of going into his office, he turned and sat on the couch in the lobby."Turn this area into a children's area. Put a big slide in that corner and some colorful balls. Add a princess swing here, and buy more robots to put on the top floor."Thaddeus patted the couch he was sitting on. "Get rid of all the couches and tables!"Jordan silently noted down all of Thaddeus' instructions. However, he couldn't help but

In a short period, Lucas had many thoughts on his mind. He was a bit worried that his scummy dad would get close to Jessamine again. What kind of person could he be as a man who doesn't want a wife and child?"Mommy, will you… find me a daddy?"Jessamine's breath hitched. "Lucas, don't you want a daddy?"Lucas felt a bit sad. Of course, he wanted a daddy. He envied other kids who had daddies in their dreams. But he didn't want a scummy dad!"Mommy, I don't want a bad daddy."Jessamine smiled. "Daddies aren't bad people. If Daddy comes back from the Magic Academy, would you like him?"Lucas pursed his lips. "I'll see how he behaves!"Jessamine sighed inwardly. Her son wasn't easy to fool. In the future, Thaddeus would have a hard time with him.…Soon, it was the day Amy had set for the annual meeting.Two days ago, Jessamine and Oscar had met and discussed some details. Setting the time to reclaim the company today was to give Amy a more severe slap in the face.As for all t

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
