Jordan flushed with embarrassment, then quickly reacted. He snatched up the phone and rejected the call."Um… Mr. Holt, what should we do next?"The contract had been signed, so Jordan was hoping they could go home now. After all, his wife had been calling him eight times a day. Thaddeus looked at his assistant disdainfully. "Is it necessary to have such a cheesy contact name?"Jordan felt utterly embarrassed. The fact that he was a doting husband had been exposed to his boss without any warning. To make matters worse, Thaddeus wasn't a romantic person."Mr. Holt, it's not easy to find a wife. Women are rare these days. If you happen to marry the one you love and you don't cherish them, wouldn't that just make you a fool?"As he was talking, the phone in his hand rang again.Thaddeus rubbed his temples and asked, "Why aren't you answering? Your wife must be quite strict!"Jordan quickly turned to answer the phone. Since Thaddeus had permitted him, if he rejected the call again

Chapter 162

In Zenville, Jessamine's right eye kept twitching. According to an old saying, when someone's left eye twitched, it signified financial gain. However, if the right eye twitched, it signified impending doom.She couldn't imagine what doom would befall her. At almost 6:00 pm, she saw the results of the competition in the design department. Her work was ranked last.Jessamine was speechless for a while as she stared at her phone. She looked through everyone's designs and couldn't say they were good. There was no way her design would rank last. She received Selene's messages right after. "Jessie, today's evaluation was so unfair! Yvonne put names to everyone's work. The necklace you designed had the highest score initially, but after seeing the name, it was ranked last. They did it on purpose!"Selene was complaining about the competition."So what came first?""The ring designed by Ms. Quilton.""What happens to the piece that wins first place?"Jessamine had just joined Holt J

Jessamine smirked. "Let's go then."It was time for them to settle the score between them. The two of them arrived at the coffee shop. Jessamine took the lead and sat in a relatively spacious seat by the window. Amy sat down opposite her and ordered two iced coffees. Jessamine asked the waiter for a glass of lemon water instead and turned to Amy with a smile."Order for yourself. I'm pregnant, so I can't drink coffee."Amy trembled, feeling that Jessamine's smile was sarcastic. The word "pregnant" coming from her mouth felt like a sword stabbing her chest."Jessie, what would you like to drink? I'll order it for you again."The way Amy called her name made Jessamine's hair stand on end. "Thaddeus isn't here. You don't have to pretend. Just be yourself."Amy paused for a second before she smiled. At that second, the waiter brought over the lemon water, and she took the glass respectfully and placed it in front of Jessamine."Jessie, this is only the second time I've sincerely c

Jessamine pulled her hand away in disgust, as if she just heard a joke. Amy dared to even suggest terminating her pregnancy and leaving Thaddeus."Amy, it's surprising that you would utter such venomous words. Crying in front of me won't help. I'm not Thaddeus. I've never recognized you as my sister, and I won't sympathize with you. Stop with the crocodile tears."What was she thinking? Asking her to terminate the pregnancy and leave Thaddeus? The twins were her only family now. When Jessamine heard what she had to say, she didn't want to talk anymore."I have nothing to say to you, Amy." Jessamine stood up to leave but then turned to say, "I will never get a divorce, and I'll give birth to the baby safely.""Jessie, don't you want your mother's items back? Don't you want Eastlake Villa back?" Amy tried another tactic. She knew Jessamine couldn't let go of Elizabeth. That was her bottom line. Jessamine paused and returned to her seat. "You sold the villa, and you still have the

The commotion shattered the quiet atmosphere of the coffee shop. Now, all eyes were fixed on their table. Amy looked around her, feeling the eyes from all directions. They stared at her as if she were a monster. Their eyes were full of disdain and mockery, nailing the mistress title on her."I'm not the mistress. She is, she is…" she muttered silently. Her body slowly fell to the ground as she passed out.Jessamine watched as Amy was carried into the ambulance and called Colin. If she weren't afraid that Amy would blackmail her, she would never want to call that number again in her life.However, Colin still called Thaddeus after their call.Thaddeus stood in front of the hotel room window, listening to Colin's complaints on the other end of the phone. He didn't believe that Jessamine was as vicious as Colin had described.Colin had said Jessamine had ganged up on Amy in public and made her sick. His attitude toward his two daughters was so different. As a father, it was under

"The one closest to Holt Jewelry."They agreed on that. Before Jessamine left work, she checked the address and packed her things as soon as it was time to leave. On the top floor of Yebar Tower, Benji was sipping tea. He had a good idea of why Jessamine wanted to come, but he wasn't sure if he should tell her the truth.He picked up his phone and sent a message to Thaddeus, "Your wife is looking for me. Should I tell her about it?" Benji decided to wait for his answer. Before Thaddeus could reply, Jessamine had arrived first. "Jessie, you're here quick. I thought there might be traffic."Jessamine entered the room and sat opposite him. Without beating around the bush, she got straight to the point. "Mr. Moore, I'm here to ask about the purchase of Eastlake Villa."Benji cleared his throat, realizing he had guessed correctly. He glanced at his phone, but his unreliable friend hadn't replied yet. Should he tell her the truth?"Let's order something to eat first, Jessie. We'll

"Jessie, the property you mentioned was listed for sale some time ago. Thaddeus asked me to buy it for him since he didn't want the seller to know he was the one buying it. "Since everyone knows that we're good friends, after careful consideration, I put the property under my sister's name. "However, now that you've figured it out, we'll transfer it into your name once Amy loses interest in the property. He bought it for you, after all." Benji scratched his head, confessing everything.Jessamine's jaw dropped in shock. "He bought it?"What was he doing buying that villa? He already had so many properties under his name and wouldn't even look at an old house in that location. "Why did he buy that property?"Benji sighed. "Jessie, can't you see that he's trying to make you happy?"After saying that, he cursed Thaddeus out. How could he pamper his wife so discreetly? It'd be a miracle for anyone to see through it. Jessamine thought it was impossible. Thaddeus wasn't interested

Everything was so unfamiliar that she couldn't believe this was the house she had grown up in for over a decade. Jessamine's throat tightened. She frantically searched around.She finally found Elizabeth's box in the storage room on the ground floor, along with some of her childhood books. She began sorting through the contents, trembling uncontrollably. Benji watched as she sobbed, heartbroken, unable to leave. He stood by her side quietly. "Jessie, this house is yours now. Don't rush, take your time."Jessamine's hands couldn't help but tremble. All the valuables left by Elizabeth had been taken away, leaving only the unimportant things behind. Inside the box were Elizabeth's notes, recording some recipes. The paper had turned yellow, indicating they had been there for years. In one of the notebooks, Jessamine found an old photo. It seemed like it had been taken out frequently, as the edges were yellowed. In the photo, Elizabeth had shoulder-length hair, looking bright and li

Shane rubbed his neck and apologized, "I'm sorry for getting out of line the other day."Benji didn't show Shane any mercy. "We don't need to get the police if an apology is going to cut it."Shane was speechless.After Jessamine bought the drinks, she silently listened as the two men bickered. They sounded like they were flirting."Jessie, since there's someone with you, I'll be leaving. We'll contact you if anything happens."With that, Benji opened the door and left. However, Shane wiped the sweat from his forehead and went after him."Do you want to come over? We're having a potluck for dinner." Shane's words were a bit blunt. He was decent at criticizing others but not good at coaxing others. A strong, tall man like him wasn't one to give gentle nothings.Benji shook the keys in his hand and rolled his eyes. "Didn't you hear Jessie say that we've already eaten?""I'm not telling you to finish the food." Benji stepped into his Ferrari. "I have to go. Maybe next time."

Chapter 170

Thaddeus immediately remembered what Colin had told him on the phone today and felt an ache in his chest. Was she being bullied by that old man again?"Jessie, where are you right now?" he asked again."Huh? I-I'm at home." Jessamine had a tell. She stuttered whenever she lied."Let me ask you again. Where are you? Don't make me find out myself."Jessamine felt creeped out. It was as if Thaddeus was actually watching her. How did he know she was lying? "I'm at Eastlake Villa." Thaddeus had intimidated her, so she had no choice but to tell him the truth.This time, Thaddeus was silent. After a long while, he asked, "Did Benji tell you?"Jessamine sat on the sofa with her phone in her hand. "Yeah."Thaddeus was expecting her to ask him some questions, but all she did was hum in assent. Upon hearing her response, he felt as if he had wasted his time and efforts. She could at least let him know that she was happy he did this. Why was she just humming in assent?Thaddeus didn't
