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 wouldn't tolerate any form of insult or slander against Holt Jewelry and insisted on reporting it to the police.Jordan was silent for a moment, then he asked, "Mr. Holt, won't the other party keep holding onto Ms. Sasha's matter if we report this to the police?""If she made a mistake, the law will punish her accordingly. Sasha is already facing the consequences of her actions. What more can be done about this situation?"It couldn't get any worse than this. Sasha was taken away by the police, and he didn't use any personal connections to let her off scot-free. Instead, he promptly comforted the victim and fully supported the side of justice.What surprised Jordan was that, for these wealthy and aristocratic families, reputation was extremely important. Having their precious daughter end up in jail was something they simply couldn't endure. To them, it was even more unacceptable than losing a business deal worth billions.Thaddeus' ability to stand on the side of justice
Thomas had just been discharged from the hospital the day before and had returned to Holt Manor. It was difficult for him not to notice all the commotion happening externally.He stayed silent, wanting to see how the successor he personally chose would handle the situation.He was satisfied with the outcome of the matter, as Thaddeus did not let him down when it came to major issues. For a business to have long-lasting success, it wasn't just about immediate profits but also about the character of the person in charge.He had made the correct judgment of the person. Thaddeus truly carried the same style and charisma Thomas had in his youth.Thomas sat in his study, listening to Joe's report. "Sir, Mr. Thaddeus has basically taken care of everything, but Ms. Sasha may have to put up with some inconveniences."Thomas was holding his rosary in one hand and massaging his forehead with the other. After a while, he asked, "Did the pregnant woman have a safe delivery?""Mr. Thomas, our
"Sasha got into a conflict with someone at the hospital and called me. Before I went, I didn't know that Amy was also there. If I had known, I would have sent Jordan to handle it instead," Thaddeus hurriedly explained.He spoke sincerely and was straightforward. He didn't have any feelings toward Amy. Even if he did, it would be a feeling of hatred."Jessie, can you trust me?" he asked nervously.Jessamine believed what he said, but she was still angry that Amy hadn't been locked up. Thaddeus must have known about it beforehand, and he hid it from her."Thaddeus, did you know that Amy was given a reprieve ?"Thaddeus hesitantly replied, "I knew about it."Both of them remained silent. After a while, he spoke again, "You weren't feeling well that day, so I only told you half of what the police said to avoid upsetting you.""Have you ever thought about it this way? You knew about this, other people around us knew about it, but I only found out through the internet that she was giv
After Thaddeus finished speaking, there was another period of silence between them.Jessamine felt quite pleased with his cautious explanation. His attitude had caused her mood to improve significantly."Am I really such a petty person in Mr. Holt's mind?" she asked.Thaddeus took a deep breath. "Jessie, are you not mad?""Are you kidding? Trying to hide something like this from me would be suspicious. Since you've openly admitted it, why should I be mad?"Thaddeus wiped away the sweat from his forehead. "Honey, I'm kind of missing you."The unexpected, straightforward show of affection left Jessamine feeling momentarily confused."Why are you shouting? You're just a trial boyfriend and have yet to pass the evaluation. Mr. Holt still needs to work harder," Jessamine said.Thaddeus replied with a hint of grievance, "I'll do my best. I'm flying to Hajera in three days, so let me know in advance if there's anything you want me to bring.""I just flew back, and I don’t have anythi
