Sasha, who had been listening quietly, couldn't bear to see her good friend being bullied by this group of people any longer. She ran to the front to scold them angrily, "You bunch of blind fools, do you even know who Amy is? She's my sister-in-law. "She's not even officially part of us Holts yet, and you're pushing her like this. Aren't you afraid my brother will come back and take revenge on you?"Sasha was usually high-profile, and everyone in their circle knew her. She was the young lady of the Holts. Who dared to offend such an influential figure?She said Amy was her future sister-in-law, which made everyone somewhat believe her.The group stopped attacking Amy and observed the situation.After all, Thaddeus, the "devil of Zenville", was not someone they could afford to offend. If they provoked him, they wouldn't be able to do business anymore.Even if only half of what she said was believable, it still stunned everyone present.Seeing that she had controlled the situatio

Jessamine smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. The gentleman beside me is indeed Mr. James. He will take on the role of CEO of Quilton Corporation in the future and lead us to greater success. I hope everyone can cooperate with him."Some of the more experienced shareholders immediately grinned."I must have been blind just now not to recognize Mr. James. It's an honor to work alongside Mr. James. I could brag about it for a lifetime!""Mr. James, please guide us more in the future!""Mr. James, I'm the head of the finance department. I'll send you the quarterly reports to your email tonight."With everyone exchanging words, they finally regained their motivation. With Oscar leading them, they believed the company could definitely achieve greater heights.Oscar was originally sent by Xander to support her, but it seemed unnecessary now. Jessamine, who appeared frail, had already taken control of the situation in front of these people."Everyone, that's too much. We're colleagues

Samson's expression stiffened for a moment, then he quickly resumed his fake smile. He realized that Oscar was somewhat cunning, but he didn't expect him to be so rude as to directly suggest selling defective parts to him!Although Samson had boasted earlier, who buys defective things? This behavior was simply like taking money directly from his pocket.He suppressed his annoyance and said, "Sure, sure. We'll sign the contract after the annual meeting."The manager of the marketing department was dumbfounded. Last month, he waited outside the Bejeweled Group's gate for a whole day, but Samson didn't see him. Even the reasons he gave were very perfunctory.When he finally managed to catch him in the evening, Samson said he had a severe stomachache from drinking and couldn't conduct business, not even giving him a chance to speak.Now, facing Oscar and Jessamine, he was nodding and bowing like mad. He even took the initiative to do business and was willing to accept defective parts.

Jessamine thought highly of herself and dared to bully her friend. Sasha walked over angrily, followed by a few of her friends."Jessamine, how much money did you take from my brother? Spit it out now!" Sasha demanded.Jessamine gently swirled the wine glass in her hand, thinking that this idiot must not have had enough last time and came back for more trouble."Sasha, are you out of your mind? Regardless of whether I took your brother's money or not, what does it have to do with you?"Sasha's expression stiffened."What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? The money my brother earns is my mom's money, and my mom's money is my money. So, technically, the money you spend is mine. "You used to enjoy a high standard of living at our place. Now that you've left my brother, you can't even afford some fried chicken anymore, huh? Are you living in rural areas now? How pitiful!"Shane couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this, and his annoyance reached its peak. He detested thi

Sasha raised her chin arrogantly. If Jessamine had been a bit nicer to her earlier, she might not have actually texted her brother to come.When he would arrive and see Amy's current state, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. If his mood soured, he wouldn't give her any pocket money.Sasha checked her account's balance on her phone. Last month, she had spent all the money she borrowed from her brother. Only a little was left that was subsidized by Heather. Her good friend's birthday was approaching, and with her status, it wouldn't be acceptable not to present a decent gift.Forget it. She would butter up her brother later and get some money from him.…Thaddeus smoked a cigarette downstairs. Messages from Benji kept coming in like haunting reminders."Come and support your wife. There are a few whiners here.""Darn it, why haven't you come yet? Your wife is being bullied. Do you still want to win her back?""Quickly take away your brainless sister. Does she have brain damag

How pitiful. How could a woman bear to watch her ex-husband dote on another woman so openly? Especially with so many people around. How would she face anyone in the future?All eyes converged on Thaddeus as he walked in that direction. But to everyone's disappointment, Thaddeus didn't even pause when he reached Amy's side. More precisely, he didn't even spare her a glance, walking past her toward this side.After a few seconds of surprise, everyone realized that Thaddeus was probably eager to deal with the person who bullied his girlfriend, so he walked straight over there. They felt even more sorry for Jessamine after thinking about this. They couldn't imagine how dreadful that must feel for a woman being publicly dealt with by a man.Thaddeus was completely unaware that he had become the focus of everyone's attention. As he approached, he stood directly beside Jessamine, wearing a warm smile on his face."Jessie, is everything going smoothly?"Jessamine lightly bit her lip and

Sasha was so angry that she didn't want to speak, but a few girlfriends began whispering among themselves."Why do I feel that Mr. Holt's gaze toward Ms. Patton is a bit different? It seems like he doesn't like Amy as Sasha said. Instead, I think it seems like he likes that Ms. Patton.""It's not a 'seems like.' His gaze can't deceive people. Didn't you hear how accommodating Mr. Holt was toward that woman just now?""But that woman has a child. Which man would accept a woman with a child? It's like raising someone else's son. He's become a father all of a sudden!""You shouldn't doubt it. Didn't you see how willing Mr. Holt was? He even bought clothes for Ms. Patton's son and had someone personally pick them out. Honestly, my dad has never bought me a piece of clothing.""Alas!"One of them sighed and said to Sasha again, "Sasha, I think your brother seems to want to be someone else's stepfather. Don't you think your brother is acting a bit like…"She wanted to say "like a desp

Parents from other families were always afraid that their own children wouldn't be happy. After all, who doesn't wish for harmony in their children's families? Now, when he recalled the past, it seemed like his own mother never did anything to support his family. Instead, she often caused trouble for him.Perhaps Jessamine didn't mind it much previously. If it were someone else, there would have been countless fights between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law by now.Sasha's eyes welled up with tears. "Ted, do you really want to stick with this woman? She's already had a child with another man. Why should we Holts raise someone else's child? Are you really that desperate for a woman? "If you're really desperate, Mom has introduced so many to you, so why don't you pick one? Grandpa may want great-grandchildren, but he doesn't want someone else's illegitimate child!"As soon as she finished speaking, Jessamine splashed a glass of wine at her. Just because she looked down on Sasha's b

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
