Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce Chapter 770
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

After the long beep ended, Thaddeus didn't get a response from Jessamine. Instead, he was met with a string of cold, robotic messages.Thaddeus suddenly panicked. He immediately contacted Jordan to book the earliest flight to Hajera because he needed to fly over right away to give her an explanation.Jordan spoke nervously on the phone, "Mr. Holt, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave anytime soon."The matter had attracted widespread attention, with media everywhere. Thaddeus, whose face often appeared in various financial news and magazines, would be surrounded whenever he went out."Mr. Holt, where are you right now? I'll bring bodyguards over. There are many reporters already surrounding Holt Manor. Our top priority is to manage the public's opinion."Thaddeus felt overwhelmed. After hanging up the phone, he tried calling Jessamine again, but still, no one answered.Jordan quickly arrived with the bodyguards. He had already contacted the PR department, and now all the employe

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
