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

When they were still married and living in Jardin Estate, she tried countless ways to get him to say something nice, but she never succeeded. Hearing such affectionate words from him now surprised Jessamine more than seeing the sun rising from the west.Jessamine put down the half-opened sheet mask and picked up the smartwatch again. "Mr. Holt, are you thinking not only about cuddling but also hoping to do something else?"This question seemed to strike Thaddeus right in the heart. He couldn't detect the sarcastic undertone in Jessamine's words. "Jessie, you don't want to?"For over four years, almost five by now, he had nearly forgotten what a joyful experience it was to be intimate with someone he loved. He could hardly even imagine it anymore.Jessamine silently cursed at that jerk of a man. "Go to sleep. You can have anything you want in your dreams."Thaddeus shamelessly persisted in getting some "welfare" for himself. "Jessie, when I reach Hajera, could I…""Let's see how y

Thomas paused for a moment before saying, "It was fine in the past, but now I don't want to live with you youngsters. It's troublesome."Thaddeus sensed that he was being disdained by Thomas once again. "Grandpa, it's no trouble at all. I promise I won't make any noise during your resting time. There shouldn't be any other issues, right?"Thomas held the phone, a slight smile forming at the corner of his lips. When he said that it was troublesome, he wasn't referring to himself; he was concerned that it might be troublesome for the younger folks.It wasn't easy for Thaddeus to get his wife back. Young people needed their space to get along, so he definitely wouldn't want to be the one to intrude."I'm not going. If you buy a new house, then I'll consider it."Thaddeus rubbed his forehead. Thomas was acting even more rebellious than his children, throwing a small tantrum at him."Grandpa, how about you stay at my place and I'll move out?"Thomas had resisted the strong temptati

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
