"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

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
