Jessamine glanced at the calendar on the desk."Do your best to hold out longer. During the interview, I will clarify that I have no intention of joining any other company. We can use this opportunity to promote the Kama brand and make it clear that we are all competitors. Once they understand our position, they will probably stop calling us."Judith furrowed her brows. "Jacinda, if I'd known earlier, I would have scheduled the interview for today and had them come this afternoon!"Jessamine looked at her dirtily before saying, "It's almost noon, so let's go eat first. If you really don't want to answer those calls, you can ignore them for now."Judith's expression lit up with excitement. "Really? Then I'll disconnect the landline."A few seconds later, her expression changed and she looked defeated. "That won't do, Jacinda. If another call comes in, it could cause problems if we don't pick up."Jessamine shrugged. "If it's really important, they will call another number."Judit

Jessamine hung up the phone and said, "Mr. Holt is joining us for dinner. Mr. Langston, you don't mind, do you?"Jerome shrugged with an indifferent expression. "It's not a problem. We haven't seen each other for a while. This is a good opportunity to catch up."Jerome left his luggage bag in Jessamine's office, and the two of them went downstairs.Just as she stepped out of the elevator, Jessamine noticed Thaddeus standing in the lobby. He was impeccably dressed in a suit and seemed to be waiting for her. After a brief moment of eye contact, Thaddeus' gaze shifted to Jerome, who was standing behind Jessamine.The atmosphere seemed to tense up for a short while. It was expected, as when love rivals met, they would be especially hostile.Jessamine felt a sudden tingle on her scalp and tried to break up the strange atmosphere by asking, "Mr. Langston, what would you like to eat? Nearby here, there's barbecue, Hajerian food, Seylonese cuisine, Clanton cuisine, and if you prefer, we c

"It's true that saying this restaurant is for Jessie isn't an exaggeration. I hired two head chefs from Zenville, specifically from the restaurant in Zenville's CBD. I recall that you've been there too. "I was worried Jessie wouldn't be able to get authentic Northern cuisine, so I opened the restaurant near her office for her convenience. I never intended to make a profit from it, since it's specifically meant to cater to Jessie."What he said about not planning to make a profit was true. Since he took over Reverie Delights, he had transformed it into a place where ordinary people couldn't afford to dine at. There weren't as many customers as before, but the quality of the clientele had improved significantly.The nearby restaurants were usually always packed with customers around noon.Thaddeus had transformed the business model of Reverie Delights into a high-end restaurant, with elegant decor and significantly higher prices. The menu also underwent a complete overhaul.Regular

During the years Jessamine spent alongside Thaddeus, she learned a lot about his methods of running the company. One thing she knew for sure was that skimping on advertising costs was not an option.Jerome raised an eyebrow slightly. He thought about the popular celebrities under his management. There were quite a few who had recently become very famous and had a large number of fans, most of whom were female fans.If they became ambassadors for Kama Jewelry, it would indeed be a suitable match."What do you think of Hayden Sage?" Jerome asked.Jessamine was quite familiar with this name. Hayden Sage had debuted in a boy band and entered the entertainment industry with his handsome looks. He starred in two popular dramas in a row, both as the lead actor, making him a rising star with well-deserved popularity.There were quite a few of his fans in her company too, and Judith was one of them. She even had her phone wallpaper set to a photo of Hayden and had posters of him at her des

"Good luck! I wish your brand a great success!" Jerome cheered.Jessamine responded, "If your words bring me good luck and I become successful, I'll give you a set of jewelry as a gift."As they chatted, they eventually reached an agreement for their company's cooperation.Thaddeus sat on the side listlessly eating his food. For some reason, everything he ate tasted sour today. He watched helplessly as his wife was coaxed away by someone else.The key issue was that Jerome made a compelling argument, and Thaddeus couldn't find any way to refute it. Truth be told, he genuinely wanted Jessamine's brand to succeed—it was her dream after all.In the past, she stayed by his side and gave up on her own career and aspirations. Now that she had finally mustered the courage to pursue her dreams, he naturally wanted to support her rather than become an obstacle in her path to success.Thaddeus comforted himself with the thought of this, and eventually, he felt a little better.Jessamine e

Thaddeus was still persistently asserting his authority. He picked up the cup in front of him and poured himself a drink.He began, "Thank you for introducing a celebrity to Jessie. It isn't easy to find a friend who goes to such lengths, especially a friend from elementary school. "Many people don't even remember their classmates' names once they get rich, but you still kindly helped your ex-classmate's wife with promotions. I appreciate your kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, I won't hesitate to assist you."Thaddeus' lengthy formal-sounding speech made Jessamine, who was standing to the side, feel completely bewildered.Jerome was used to it. After all, it wasn't like it was his first day knowing the scheming Thaddeus."Mr. Holt, you're being too formal. Let's get one thing straight. I'm not doing this because we're ex-classmates. It's because I genuinely want to help a friend. "A few years ago, when I first arrived in Hajera, Jessie helped me a lot too. We're

Jessamine poured him a glass of water and said, "Mr. Holt, how about you calm down a bit?"Thaddeus was indeed irritated. He reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her smoothly onto his lap."Do not get in contact with him too frequently," he demanded.Jessamine hummed in agreement and asked, "Are you jealous, Mr. Holt?"Thaddeus really didn't want to admit it, but he was definitely jealous and still feeling bitter about it."Yes. If you don't offer me something sweet in return, I'll continue to be jealous," Thaddeus replied.He playfully pinched the soft flesh on her belly. His tone carried a hint of tenderness like he wanted her to comfort him.Jessamine remembered the awkward moment the last time Judith saw them. She wanted to jump off his lap right away. Just as she formed that thought, the hand resting on her waist tightened its grip."Don't run away, Jessie," Thaddeus pleaded.Jessamine cleared her throat and reminded, "Please practice restraint. We're

Judith left Jessamine's office and returned to her desk. Her computer's WhatsApp indicated there were more and more incoming messages.She opened it and saw that countless people had tagged her."@Judith, what happened in the office? Mr. Holt has a lipstick smudge on his lips, and it's the same shade as Jacinda's.""@Judith, is Mr. Langston out of the picture now? Can you give us some inside scoop? Good friends should share the gossip. Don't keep it all to yourself.""Oh my gosh! Do we even need to ask? It's confirmed, everyone. Jacinda and Mr. Holt are definitely together.""@Judith, where are you? Please respond quickly!"…Judith quickly skimmed the messages and closed the app, ignoring everyone. She didn't dare to speak recklessly anymore. She was saving next month's salary to buy a bag.Inside the office, Jessamine waited for Judith to leave. Then, she immediately sent a message to Thaddeus: "You should wipe your mouth."Thaddeus headed back to his office straightaway a

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
