"I don't advocate for pointless overtime either, so they can do as they wish," Thaddeus remarked.He went to the coat rack to help her get her bag. They went downstairs together and got into the car. Thaddeus sat in the driver's seat for a long time without starting the car.Jessamine had already fastened her seatbelt, and upon turning her head, saw that he was still lost in thought. She could tell that he had a lot on his mind."What's wrong with you?" she asked.When they called in the afternoon, it seemed like he was still in a pretty good mood.Thaddeus paused for a moment. "Jessie, I need to tell you something. You just have to be prepared."Jessamine saw the expression on his face and could tell that it was about something serious, so she asked cautiously, "What's going on? Tell me.""I had Colin's and your hair samples tested a while ago. The results are out. Take a look."He handed over the folder he was holding. Jessamine eagerly looked at the results although she had
"Jessie, have you finished work? You haven't had dinner yet, right?" Thomas asked."Grandpa, the two of us just got off work."Thomas laughed and said, "It's great that your two companies are next to each other. The office location Ted found this time isn't too bad. You can have lunch together at noon and even go home together in the evening."Thaddeus helped himself to the items in the fridge, taking a good amount of meat, eggs, and vegetables. Thomas watched in shock as Thaddeus completely emptied his fridge, then led his wife upstairs.The rascal only thought about his wife wholeheartedly now!Thaddeus placed the items he brought back in the kitchen. He made a point to check that the door was locked to avoid a repeat of the embarrassing incident from last time.He wasn't really trying to oppose Thomas. It was just that if he had to go through this again, he didn't think he could manage to get along with Jessamine anymore.The two of them returned to the kitchen to clean the v
When Jessamine was pinned onto the bed by him, her mind was still in a daze. Weren't they just discussing how he should kneel? How did it escalate to this so quickly?He was too rough last night, and her legs still felt sore now.Jessamine had just climaxed. Once she had a moment to catch her breath, she braced herself for each of his advances, protesting tearfully. "Thaddeus, I urge you to act like a decent human being!"Sweat dripped from Thaddeus' forehead down to his chin, and his voice sounded incredibly hoarse. "Jessie, just bear with me a little longer…"Jessamine had no idea how long he meant, but by the end of it, she felt completely drained. It was as if she wasn't herself anymore, and her legs felt like they were floating.Who said that men were the ones who got tired from this kind of thing? It was clear that women were the ones who ended up feeling drained.Afterward, the two of them lay on the bed for a while to rest. Then, he got up and took her to the shower.Jes
"We definitely need to find this Quilton guy! My daughter would rather leave home than abandon that poor man. She wouldn't have done anything wrong, so there must be something we're missing here," Gloria said.Gloria and Jessamine had the same idea."Grandma, I need to figure all this out. Although it's just a suspicion, I think my mom may have been deceived by Colin more than once."What Jessamine thought of in her mind was disheartening, but she knew Colin's character well. He was someone ruthless enough to abandon even his own mother, so there was no way he would care about a woman.He only cared about money and didn't have a shred of human compassion.Gloria was supportive of her. "Go ahead. If you need any help, ask Xander. He has a lot of connections. You could also consider hiring a private detective.""I'll go confront Colin first. It's not easy to dig up information from so many years ago, especially since he's currently locked up and it's inconvenient for him to talk."
"My grandma keeps saying that I don't do any proper work. She thinks I'm ignoring our family business and that I'm just wandering around aimlessly. Can you please vouch for me and prove that I am actually taking care of important matters?" Hayden cordially invited.After Hayden finished speaking, he asked Thaddeus, "Ted, you'll come too, right? Grandma asked about you the other day."Thaddeus turned around and asked Jessamine, "I do have to visit for a while. Do you want to come with me?""Then let's go together, Jessamine said.Hayden was so happy that he immediately changed the way he addressed Jessamine. "Alright Ted, Jessie. I'll wait for you tomorrow. Call me when you arrive and I'll come meet you at the entrance."Thaddeus' lips twitched slightly. "Don't call her that. Who said you could call her Jessie?"It would be more appropriate if he treated her as his "sister-in-law".Hayden was scolded into staying silent by Thaddeus and spent the latter part of the journey dozing
Jessamine showed Colin the DNA test results. His face turned progressively pale. He had no idea when she had started having doubts and went to get a test done.His plot was exposed. No matter how shameless he was, he could no longer keep up the act.Colin decided to play the sympathy card. He said, "Jessie, even though we're not biologically related, you've always called me your father, and I've raised you as my daughter for so long. Doesn't that care and love count for anything? I'm still your dad, my beloved daughter!"Jessamine responded, "What you call care and love is to take all my mother's assets for yourself? You used her to help you start a company and develop your business. "Then, you conspired with another woman to kill her. Now, you're letting your mistress and illegitimate child come after me. I'm sorry, but I can't see how any of that is care and love toward me."Colin began to wipe his tears and said, "Jessie, I know I haven't been a good father. Please forgive me
Colin gathered his thoughts. His lips trembled slightly as he began to speak. "Back when the company was just getting started, your mother volunteered to handle social engagements. Comment by Caitlyn Chin: This doesn't exceed four lines. It can still be one paragraph."I'm not sure which business partner she slept with, but one night, she came back pregnant with you."Jessamine clutched her skirt so tightly that her knuckles turned white.She then scolded, "You'reColin Quilton, you're still lying! My mother died because of you, and you still have the gallcourage to say such things to ruin her reputation? "She chose to turn her back on her family to be with you—a poor man. She, and she helped you build your business. How could you treat her like this?"Jessamine was agitatedvisibly emotional, her eyes red with anger. She shouted, "Mom would never betray you. Many people may betray their families, but not Mom! You are the one who betrayed our family, you disgusting man!"Jessami
Jessamine held back her intense heartache as she thought about Elizabeth. She truly felt it was unfair for Elizabeth. If it were not for the glass separating her and Colin, she would have gone over and slapped that scumbag on Elizabeth's behalf.Everything Colin mentioned was all he knew. He truly did not know what happened after that. That night, Elizabeth returned in a terrible state with her body covered in marks.Colin had felt uncomfortable and irritated on the inside, but he had to pretend to be nice and accommodating. He needed Elizabeth's support in his career. His company was not doing well. So, he would not easily kick her out.He had no idea whom Elizabeth had spent that night with, and neither did she know the identity of the person as well. She not only consumed some drugs given to her by Colin, but she also drank alcohol.At this moment, Jessamine was so overwhelmed with the heartbreaking truth she just heard that she could not think straight. She felt deeply sorry fo
