Things had been really nerve-racking for the past few days. The product that Holt Jewelry was about to launch was a plagiarized design. The company's employees had spent a lot of time and effort making the jewelry piece. They even released the news about it as early as last month. The entire industry had been looking forward to the visual masterpiece that Holt Jewelry would release. Fashionistas were lining up to be the first to snap up the jewelry.Now that something like this had happened, the company should announce that the press conference had been canceled, as well as the celebration dinner. But if they did that, Holt Jewelry wouldn't have any more credibility in the jewelry-making industry.With the little time they had left, they could only use a product that hadn't been completed to replace it. The best work they could use was the bracelet Jessamine had designed, the one she had won the design competition with.Even if Jessamine was giving him the silent treatment, Thad

Jessamine took the vegetables she had picked from the yard to the kitchen. Then, she went back inside to pack her things. She kept wondering if she really needed to go through this much trouble just to resign.After packing her things, she went to say goodbye to Thomas. When she arrived downstairs, she noticed someone talking to Thomas in the living room. He was slender and sounded gentle and elegant. The visitor was none other than Noah."Noah, good to see you!" Jessamine greeted him politely. Then, she said to Thomas, "Grandpa, I need to head back to Zenville, so I won't be here with you for a while. I'll come back after I'm done with work."Thomas narrowed his eyes, thinking that Thaddeus had listened to his advice. So, there was still hope for that brat. He was glad that his efforts weren't in vain. "Go ahead. I have Joe with me. Young people like you should be enjoying your lives. You don't need to watch over an old man like me.""Grandpa, are you annoyed with me?" Jessa

At 10:00 pm, Thaddeus drove to his family's villa in Quellville.At this time, Jessamine had finished taking her shower and was lying on the bed, about to sleep. When she heard noises outside, a bad feeling overcame her. She got out of bed, and sure enough, she saw that bastard Thaddeus getting out of his car. The streetlights formed a long shadow under his feet, making him look even taller.Jessamine never expected him to come over so late at night. She was just an insignificant assistant he had assigned to the design department. He didn't need to go so far for her.At the end of the day, she was the one who hadn't kept her word. On the phone, she had promised Ariel that she would go back, but she ended up breaking her promise. Jessamine laid back on the bed, feeling restless. She couldn't come up with a good excuse, so she pretended to be asleep.Thaddeus went upstairs to Jessamine's room. He saw her lying flat in the middle of the big bed with the blanket covering her neck.

Thaddeus felt a sense of clarity when Jessamine pushed him away. "Come home with me tomorrow," he said again.Jessamine obeyed him like a cat that had been appeased. "Okay," she said softly.Then, Thaddeus kissed her again."Ted. Ted…"Thaddeus bit her lip, punishing her for her oversight. He clearly told her many times to call him "Hubby," but she still couldn't remember it. "Call me Hubby, Jessie!""Stop! We don't have any condoms." Jessamine thought of the perfect excuse. After all, there were very few convenience stores near the villa, so it would be hard to buy some condoms.Sure enough, Thaddeus turned over and laid back in his previous spot, breathing heavily.Jessamine successfully stopped him, but she couldn't help but feel disappointed. He still didn't want a baby. He even stopped halfway through the act because they didn't have protection, even though it pained him to do so."Thaddeus, Amy—"Thaddeus became upset at the mention of Amy and sat up on the bed. "I'm tak

Jessamine trembled in fear. She had been with the Holt family for three years but had never seen Thomas so angry. The last time was when Thaddeus and Amy angered him to the point where he had to be hospitalized.Jessamine quickly sat next to Thomas and calmed him down. "Calm down, Grandpa. Let's take things easy. Don't let your anger affect your health."Thomas was so angry that his lips were trembling. "Jessie, I'll make things right for you. Tell me everything this bastard did to you. There's no way he's calling the shots in our family."Thaddeus remained silent with a sullen expression on his face.Jessamine didn't know why Thomas was upset. "Grandpa, he didn't do anything."Thomas scoffed. "I can't believe you're still speaking up for him. He has already kept that sly woman in your marital home. How can you put up with it? "Then, Thomas scolded Thaddeus, "You bastard, do you even have a righteous bone in your body? You have a wife, but you used her marital home as a secret g
