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

Jessamine finished booking the flight tickets before she had a chance to pay attention to the person in the driver's seat."Thaddeus, can you open the door?" She pushed the car door but found it still locked.Thaddeus struggled to suppress his smile in an attempt to appear calm. "Did you book the tickets?"Jessamine glared at him, knowing that this bastard had been eavesdropping on her conversation.Without waiting for Jessamine's response, Thaddeus asked again, "What time is the flight? I'll pick you up!"When she looked at him, Jessamine could see that despite Thaddeus' efforts to control his expression, his joy was still evident. It seemed that he had guessed the truth already, but the cat hadn't been let out of the bag yet. She deliberately annoyed him, saying, "It's none of your business."Thaddeus rubbed his nose. His mind was filled with images of Layla hanging onto him and calling him "Daddy". He had intended to come clean about the two children at the Hiltown Hotel befor

"Jessie, what are Layla's interests and hobbies? What kind of gifts does she like?" Thaddeus asked eagerly.Jessamine didn't want to hide anything from him. He wanted to be a good father, and she was happy about that. At least the children wouldn't have the same fatherless experience she did. She deeply understood the importance of family to a person."Layla likes everything related to Princess Elsa, strawberry-flavored foods, drawing, and playing the piano," Jessamine said. After she was done speaking, she then recalled Lucas. "Lucas likes electronic products, robots, programming, and he also enjoys playing soccer."Thaddeus quietly noted everything down, getting a sense of what he needed to prepare next.Jessamine asked, "Can you open the car door now? Lucas is waiting at home."Thaddeus cleared his throat and tentatively asked, "Can I come in?""No." Jessamine thought of Xander at home, knowing that if they saw each other, they would surely argue again. Until his image impro

Thaddeus felt guilty toward Jessamine. When she was at death's door, he wasn't by her side. He couldn't be there when she gave birth to their two children either. He knew he was worthless, but in Xander's eyes, he wasn't just worthless. He was also a cancerous existence in Jessamine's life. If it weren't for this bastard, Jessamine wouldn't have suffered so much. Xander coldly stated, "When she gave birth to the two kids, the fetal position was abnormal, and the doctor recommended a c-section. "In addition to the previous injuries, another cut was made on her abdomen. When she first stood up after giving birth, Jessamine was shaking all over but forced herself to move as the doctor advised. "She was severely anemic after giving birth. When coupled with the serious injuries from the car accident, she didn't fully recover for several years. Her physical condition weakened a lot. She often experienced low blood sugar and sometimes fainted without symptoms." Xander let out all the

As she expected, the company was currently in a mess. Since Colin took over, the various departments of the company had been just getting by. There were internal conflicts among the management, middle-level employees were busy taking sides, and the lowest-level employees were slacking off and just collecting their salaries. Once these habits formed, they were hard to change. In terms of changing this working environment, it was enough to keep Oscar busy for a while.Jessamine spent two hours in Oscar's office looking at the reports. It was an unfamiliar industry with an unfamiliar business, and it gave her a headache. But for Oscar, it seemed as simple as eating and drinking. For the parts she couldn't understand, Oscar could spot the problems with just a glance and patiently explain them to her.Managing a small company in its early stages with dozens of people and a listed company with thousands of employees was quite a different experience. Jessamine hadn't fully figured out

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
