Sasha knew she was in the wrong. With so many people accusing her, she had no way to defend herself. She just held her swollen, reddened cheek and shook her head.The atmosphere was tense. Not far away, the door to the examination room opened."Sasha, I'm ready. Let's head back."The gentle voice drew everyone's attention. Amy, wearing a loose cotton dress and holding a medical report, exited the examination room. She froze when she saw Thaddeus.Thaddeus now understood the situation. His blockheaded sister was accompanying Amy for a prenatal checkup. The two of them had cut in line, causing a dispute with the other pregnant woman. Sasha stood up for her friend and ended up hitting the pregnant woman.His sister was incredibly dimwitted.Thaddeus felt ashamed of her. When would she understand that her so-called friends were only using her for their selfish purposes and had never genuinely considered her a friend?"Sasha, apologize!"Sasha still felt reluctant. She had been hi
Amy was already on probation, so she didn't dare get involved in any trouble again. Besides, what happened today had nothing to do with her. She didn't say a single curse word, nor did she get physical.The person who rudely hit someone was Sasha.Even so, Amy was still somewhat scared and instinctively hid behind Thaddeus. The two police officers, with serious expressions, wouldn't just rely on the nurse's side of the story."Let's check the surveillance footage first."After a short while, the surveillance footage from that period was copied. After watching it, the police turned to Sasha and said, "Miss, please come with us."Sasha suddenly realized the gravity of the situation. While on the verge of tears, she looked at Thaddeus with reddened eyes, as if seeking help."Ted…" she pleaded.Thaddeus had just reviewed the surveillance footage with the police. Sasha's actions were even worse than what the eyewitness described. It was no wonder that man couldn't resist hitting her.
Thaddeus glanced at the electronic wristband on Amy's hand. "Aren't you on probation? Why are you running around?""Probation still requires scheduled prenatal check-ups; it's allowed by the authorities," Amy answered.Thaddeus faintly smirked as though mocking her. "True, we still need to take good care of it."Without the treasured "weapon" within her, how else could she hope to get a reduced sentence?"Excuse me, I need to get through," Thaddeus said. He pressed the button on the car key, but Amy leaned against the front of the car, showing no intention of moving.At that moment, Thaddeus' phone started vibrating wildly in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Jessamine. Before leaving, he had repeatedly reminded her to call as soon as the plane landed. After looking at the time, he realized the flight had probably just landed at the airport.He didn't immediately answer. Amy calmly crossed her arms and watched him. A few seconds later, she walked over fro
"Justice may be delayed, but it will never not be served. Sooner or later, evildoers will pay for their wrongdoings. Well done, Jessie," praised Gloria.Jessamine thought of Thaddeus and cautiously brought him up in conversation. "Grandma, this time I had some help from others; If I were to do it on my own, the matter wouldn't have been handled so smoothly."Gloria having lived to her old age, was very perceptive. "Has that guy been looking for you again?"Jessamine paused, holding her fork in mid-air. "Grandma, he… actually did quite a lot."After Jessamine took over the company, she felt that some of the orders signed off by the marketing department were unreasonable. Who would buy scrap materials at such a high price? Plus, even if someone else was unlucky, she couldn't possibly possess that kind of good luck.At first, she only suspected that it was Thaddeus causing trouble. Later, while she had dinner with Samson from Bejeweled Group, she fished for some information. It turne
Jessamine choked on her soup and coughed a few times. "No, there's no such person." After speaking, she continued to focus on eating quietly.Gloria shook her head and sighed. "I'm getting older and don't have the energy to take care of you all. Jessie is raising a child on her own, which isn't easy. You must help her more, whether it's with work or everyday life. Even if I'm not around one day, you should still be good to her, okay?" she said to Xander.Xander placed one hand on the table and his expression turned serious. "Did something happen?"Gloria had spoken to such an extent that it made him overthink. Jessamine, who was found with great difficulty, was naturally treasured by the whole family. There was no reason for him not to protect her."Is that Holt guy causing trouble again?" he asked.Jessamine felt helpless as the misunderstandings continued to grow, so she hurriedly changed the topic. "No, Xander. Grandma wants to set me up with someone."Xander relaxed. "Oh, t
Jessamine saw with her own eyes the police taking Amy away and received the verdict from them. Amy was sentenced to three years, and she gradually came to terms with it.But why was Amy still out there, roaming free? Wasn't she supposed to be locked up?As she continued watching, Jessamine could no longer stay calm. There was a brief moment in the video where she caught a glimpse of another familiar face.Even if it was just a one-second appearance, she'd never mistake that exceptional face.She couldn't imagine that right after she left, Thaddeus would appear in the same video with Amy the very next moment.When it was time to part, it was hard to say goodbye. It seemed like he was pretending the whole time.Jessamine felt her heart ache a bit. She remembered that as soon as she got off the plane yesterday, she gave him a call, but he didn't pick up and just hung up. She thought that maybe he was in a meeting or dealing with some important company matters.She felt a bit silly
The midday sun shone on Thaddeus' face as he finally woke up from his sleep. This time, with Daniel's hypnosis, he slept quite peacefully.After he opened his eyes, his first instinct was to get dressed and make breakfast for his wife and kids. But as he sat up and looked around, he realized he was at Daniel's place. He remembered that he had already sent Jessamine and the two children off yesterday.Thaddeus took a moment to lie down again, his eyes staring at the ceiling. However, his mind was preoccupied with thoughts about what Jessamine and the children might be doing now. At this time, they might be having lunch.He wanted to check the time, but he couldn't find his phone anywhere.Daniel heard Thaddeus' movement, pushed the door open, and came in holding the phone he had been searching for everywhere."You're awake, right? If you're awake, pick up the phone. It seems like everyone is looking for you."After he finished speaking, the phone screen lit up and another call cam
Heather's hopes were dashed after hearing what Thaddeus said. "Are you really going to ignore Sasha? How did I end up with such a cold and love-obsessed son like you? Ask yourself honestly. If it were Jessamine who got into trouble today, would you save her?"Thaddeus immediately refuted, "Jessamine would never do something so unethical. Don't use her as an example. It's simply impossible."Heather was so angry that her lips were quivering. "Fine, fine, she's morally superior and my daughter is not. She's perfect in every way. She carried the Holt family's children, but won't let them take on the Holt surname. This is the woman you're defending."Thaddeus was initially speaking calmly with Heather, but after hearing his mother's words, it stirred up a strong sense of irritation within him. "Mom, I've already told you before. Don't interfere in matters between Jessie and me. The children are ours, and whatever their last name is won't change the bond we share as a family. I don't c
