Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce Chapter 686
Rich people really treated money like it grew on trees. After fastening Layla's seatbelt, Thaddeus took her straight to Quilton Corporation.Jessamine didn't have an office at the company, and she was just temporarily staying there without using any resources. These days, she squeezed into Oscar's CEO's office. She made do with it, and it was convenient to ask for advice when she didn't understand something.Oscar came back from a meeting to find her frowning at the computer screen. Without waiting for Jessamine to ask, he approached her."Jessie, is there something you don't understand?"On Jessamine's screen was an email from the head of the marketing department. These days, the marketing department had been signing a lot of contracts, selling off years' worth of scrap materials for a high price, and bringing in a considerable amount of funds for the company.Even though Jessamine had just started in this industry, she understood that if something was deemed scrap, it was useles

Thaddeus followed Layla in and stopped about a meter away from Jessamine. Jessamine, holding the fruit drink handed by Layla, felt that the atmosphere in the office was a bit strange."Layla, why did you come with Daddy?" Jessamine asked.Layla excitedly recounted her day's experiences to Jessamine. "Mommy, Godfather took me to buy a bunch of cats, and we even went to Daddy's office. Now my cats are all in Daddy's car. Do you want to take a look? They're so cute!"Jessamine understood. Benji must have taken the child to Holt Jewelry."Layla, Daddy needs to work quickly. You can't disturb him during work hours."Layla pouted. "I think it's okay. Daddy must be a big slacker at the company. I haven't seen him work at all. He only opened the computer once, made two phone calls, and spent the rest of the time playing with the cats."Jessamine couldn't help but chuckle when she glanced at Thaddeus standing by the side. Layla's words made her father sound like he was nothing more than a

Jessamine rubbed her forehead, unable to share Layla's joy at the moment as her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of how to settle these cats. Thaddeus followed and walked over, putting the handbag on the back seat. He took it out a few seconds later, probably afraid that the cats would damage her bag."Thaddeus, can you still keep this car?" Jessamine didn't dare to say it bluntly, but she smelled cat urine.Thaddeus' sense of smell was even more sensitive. On his way to find her, he had already smelled it. He shrugged, looking indifferent. "No problem. I'll have Jordan take it to the shop for maintenance later. If necessary, we can change the interior."Jessamine was speechless. She couldn't believe that he, with his cleanliness obsession, could tolerate this. It seemed that he had indeed changed a lot over these four years."These cats don't look cheap. Ask Benji how much they cost, and I'll transfer the money to him.""No need. I've already paid."Thaddeus' entire collecti

The call connected, and Thomas asked, "Ted, have you investigated those girls you sent me? Are they reliable?"Thaddeus pursed his lips. "Yes, they're reliable."Those were all the prospective daughters-in-law chosen by Heather. Even if she wasn't dedicated in anything else, she was definitely meticulous in this aspect. The family background, personality, and appearance had all been carefully screened. If they didn't meet her standards, she wouldn't have introduced them to her son.She wouldn't give herself trouble by finding someone unsatisfactory. Now, Heather's efforts finally came in handy.Thomas sighed on the phone. "If you're sure they've been checked, then I won't waste my efforts. I'll arrange a blind date for Noah. Have them meet and chat first. You can also help find someone suitable and introduce her to him."At this age, Thomas had only two unfinished concerns—not having grandchildren and his youngest son's reluctance to marry. He had even suspected that Noah might

"Jessie, I also have business in Hajera."Jessamine knew it was just an excuse. The Holt Jewelry headquarters was in Zenville, and the core business operations were all in Zenville. His so-called business in Hajera didn't require the CEO to personally handle it."Didn't you want to install the cat climbing frame? Do you want it installed or not?"Thaddeus tried hard to suppress his smile from forming. In the end, he had stepped into this door again.The two children were busy with their own activities. Lucas was playing with his robots, which Thaddeus had sent a few days ago. Despite his deadbeat father's arrival, he didn't even raise his head, continuing to play by himself.Thaddeus looked at his son, feeling a bit of a headache. Layla was easy to coax, but Lucas was not so easy to handle.He brought the box containing the cat climbing frame over, and Jessamine handed him a pair of scissors.Thaddeus took the scissors and lifted his gaze, asking, "Do you want to help?"As he t

Jessamine straightforwardly asked him, "What's the matter?"Thaddeus glanced toward the terrace, gesturing for her to follow him. With a solemn expression, Thaddeus led the way, and Jessamine followed.Thaddeus took out a cigarette, holding it between his fingers without lighting it. The wind tousled his bangs. Jessamine remembered that he didn't have such a strong addiction to smoking before and that he only smoked occasionally."Jessie, do you happen to have a biological older or younger sister?"Thaddeus and Jessamine had the same thoughts on this matter. Jessamine had also suspected this, even thinking she might have a twin sister. But she had never seen this imaginary sister from her childhood to adulthood, and Elizabeth had never mentioned it, nor had Colin confirmed it.Jessamine's mind was full of doubts."Thaddeus, I'm not sure either. Colin said my mother only had one child."Thaddeus took out his phone and saved the photos from the email, opening the album to show her

Thaddeus had never felt as grateful to Noah as he did at that moment. If it weren't for that lunatic, he wouldn't have had this opportunity to take his wife and children out together as a complete family.As the car left the city, the surroundings became increasingly tranquil. Finally, they parked at a villa situated by the lakeside. By now, the night had descended, with a bright moon hanging in the sky. Thaddeus looked up at it, feeling even more complete than the full moon itself."Jessie, darlings, we've arrived."Jessamine walked over, looking out the window at the unfamiliar place. The two children were a bit excited. They were tired of playing at home and had been eagerly waiting for Jessamine to take them out, but she always seemed too busy.Thaddeus opened the trunk, but before he could do anything, a tall and sturdy man appeared out of nowhere, helping to carry the luggage.When Lucas saw his robot in the hands of the muscular man, he yelled anxiously, "My robot! Be gentl

Jessamine was taken aback by his offer. If he was offering to take her, did that mean he would also be staying here? She now deeply felt that she had voluntarily fallen into his trap.Jessamine looked into Thaddeus' eyes, her concerns written all over her face.Thaddeus pretended not to notice and ignored the questioning look in her gaze. After all, feigning ignorance was something men were best at."Jessie, I'll stay in the study."Jessamine didn't want to talk anymore. He had already made the arrangements clear. She felt like she was under his roof and had to bow her head.Thaddeus didn't intend to linger longer, perhaps afraid of being exposed by Jessamine in the next moment. After all, he didn't feel entirely good about what he had done. He had incited trouble at her house and immediately brought her back without giving her a chance to think about it.Just then, his phone rang. Thaddeus glanced at it and then instructed Jessamine, "Tidy up and rest early. I have some work to

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
