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

Jessamine's palms were sweaty as she pushed through the crowd of people, quickly making her way to the center.When she saw the person lying on the ground, her whole body went numb.Amy lay on the ground, her face deathly pale, while someone performed CPR on her.Jessamine's earlier anxiety turned into a mix of complex emotions. She couldn't help but suspect that Amy was faking it. She closed her eyes and her eyelashes trembled.Playing dead or feigning illness was Amy's specialty. Her greatest skill was playing the role of a weak victim to garner sympathy and manipulate others.Jessamine couldn't help but turn around, and her gaze met with Thaddeus. She instinctively thought Thaddeus would be worried and rush forward first. However, there was no expression on Thaddeus' face, only a hint of amusement.After the friend who knew first aid had performed CPR on Amy for a while, he squatted on the ground, panting. He opened Amy's eyelids and checked her pulse. He didn't find any major

Jessamine coldly looked at Amy, who treated acting as a lifelong career, but deep down, her heart ached. Her heart disease was cured using her own mother's heart!Thaddeus detested Amy's attitude of constantly treating others like fools. Even at this moment, after settling all matters with her, where did she find the audacity to act?"Amy, I've said everything I needed to say to you. Stop with these petty tricks in front of me. It's truly disgusting. Also, since you've already had a heart transplant, stop harboring those filthy thoughts, and don't waste other's organs. "That's all there is between us. I've never liked you. There was only friendship between us before. It's you who insisted on tainting that friendship, so I can't accompany you any longer."Amy sat on the ground in a daze. The next moment, her entire body seemed to lose strength, slumping to the ground. Indeed, he had found out about everything.She was now speechless.The various deceptions she had made in the pas

Jessamine immediately thought of her mother, Elizabeth. She had been kind all her life and never made enemies. Every year, she would do charity work, donating countless sums to the Red Cross. But in the end, what had she received for her kindness? When she lay on the cold operating table and had her heart removed, did her soul ache?"Amy, your mother's fate was deserved. It's all karma!" Amy, now seemingly mad, grabbed her hair and cried, "My mother did everything for me. She was just an ordinary woman who loved her daughter. What did she do wrong to be framed by you demons?"Thaddeus felt Jessamine's hand trembling and realized she was struggling to control her emotions. He placed her hand in his and gave it a comforting squeeze.Sending Magaret to prison was his doing. However, it was to rid society of a menace, and he hadn't wrongly accused that madwoman."Amy, please, come to your senses. Margaret killed someone. The law won't fault an innocent person or let a guilty one go

"Excuse me, is there anyone in need of emergency assistance?" The colleague who had just made the call rushed over, pointing at Amy. "Doctor, it was this young lady who fainted just now, but she's awake now."The medical staff located Amy, who sat on the ground with disheveled hair, and walked over quickly. "Miss, do you feel unwell anywhere?"Amy was too absorbed in crying and choking on her tears to speak.Thaddeus answered for her, "Doctor, she's a bit emotionally distressed. As for other aspects, could you please examine her?"It was up to the doctor to decide whether or not she was faking it.The leading doctor squatted down and conducted a basic examination of Amy. Apart from her emotional distress, he didn't find any issues. His expression soured immediately."You should be cautious when calling emergency services. If there's nothing wrong, don't waste medical resources by making unnecessary calls. Ambulances rushed here, running through a dozen red lights, only to find

"Jessie, Jessie, I didn't want to kill you. My mother did everything. It has nothing to do with me! Please believe me. We're sisters, even if I hate you, it's just been me running my mouth. How could I do something to hurt you? I…"Before she could finish speaking, Thaddeus had already swiftly pushed her away. "Amy, let the police handle it. Accept the consequences of the law!"Two police officers stepped forward, one on each side, to restrain the emotionally agitated Amy and prepare to take her away.Jessamine calmed her emotions and said, "Amy, whatever happens inside, make sure to take care of my mother's things. You will have to return them to her sooner or later."Amy's crying abruptly stopped. Jessamine's words seemed to send chills down her spine. To return them sooner or later… Didn't it seem like her own mother?Amy was taken away, and the atmosphere in the hall quickly returned to normal. Most people were just bystanders who held themselves with an indifferent attitude.

"Jessie, the past… it's over. From now on, no one will come between us. Can we start over as if we just met today?"Jessamine looked at her phone and realized it was late. Her mind was in turmoil and she didn't want to discuss this with him at this moment. She was afraid she might fall for his verbal trap."I want to go home now. My son is waiting for me."Thaddeus glanced at her profile, his eyes flickering. He started the car and quickly drove to her house.She was in a bad mood, and Thaddeus pondered on what he wanted to say tonight. He wasn't sure whether or not he should speak up.As the car stopped, Jessamine's phone rang. She thought it might be Lucas urging her to come home, but it was a video call from Layla. She held her phone in one hand and swiped to answer the call while reaching for the car door with the other hand.The next moment, the car door didn't open, but the video call connected.Thaddeus had stopped the car and had no intention of unlocking the door. He ha

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
