Jessamine looked at Thaddeus, who was smoking. She felt something was off about him. It was as if he was conflicted. His current behavior was different from the cold and arrogant man he had already been. "What's wrong?" she asked.Thaddeus stubbed the cigarette in the ashtray. "Let's get a divorce, Jessamine."The news shocked Jessamine. She stood rooted on the spot. This was his second time bringing up a divorce. The first time was because Amy had returned to Crestia. Later, he changed his mind and repeatedly reassured Jessamine that Amy wasn't in the picture at all. He said he didn't love Amy. So, what was his reason for asking for a divorce this time?Jessamine was in turmoil, but she also wanted to know what drove him to make such a heartless decision.It had only been less than a day since he had made their marriage public. He even praised her in front of everyone. Every woman in Zenville envied her, for she was the beautiful and talented wife of Thaddeus Holt. She was

Jordan looked at the elegant Jessamine and thought Thaddeus was a fool.On the other hand, Jessamine was happy. She took the divorce agreement, turned to the last page, and signed her name without hesitation.Jordan felt his heart drop. "Mrs. Holt, why don't you consider it? Mr. Holt is—"Jordan knew Thaddeus was a prideful man. He internally cursed his boss for being this way.Jessamine was very calm. "It's fine." After signing the papers, she returned them to Jordan. "Thank you, Mr. Rhodes."Jordan wanted them to reconcile. Jessamine appreciated his efforts to try to make things better. However, his efforts would just be for naught. There wasn't any hope for this marriage, so she might as well end it while she could. She shouldn't be stuck in limbo. She should be living her own life with her babies.Then, Jordan handed over the divorce agreement to Thaddeus, who was drinking with some friends in the VIP room.The sharp-eyed Benji noticed the title of the divorce agreement. H

"I feel terrible, Ted," Amy whined.Thaddeus knew a little about the pain of childbirth. When Heather had Sasha, he was seven years old and understood a lot of things. He knew that Heather's morning sickness had been severe. At one point, she vomited so much and became so dehydrated that she had to be taken to the hospital.Most people only had morning sickness for a few months, but Heather had vomited for the entire duration of her pregnancy until she gave birth to Sasha. As a result, the whole family pampered Sasha, the daughter Heather had spent blood, sweat, and tears giving birth to. Their coddling ended up making her arrogant and conceited.Thaddeus returned to his senses and put the lunch box on the table. "Come and eat something, Amy. If you keep vomiting without nourishing yourself, you'll fall apart."Amy frowned and said miserably, "I really can't eat anything! I'll throw up after eating it. It's better if I don't eat. I won't feel that bad."Thaddeus felt helpless.

Amy looked around to make sure no one was there. Then, she secretly took out a packet of powder from her bag. This was the abortion medicine she had requested from a private doctor. She could only feel at ease when she got rid of Jessamine's babies.Jessamine's babies were like a landmine waiting to explode. When she figured things out and told Thaddeus about her pregnancy, things would worsen for Amy.Amy wasn't confident that Thaddeus would choose her between her and Jessamine at the discovery that they were both pregnant. Since she couldn't take a risk, she could only resort to such actions.Sasha noticed Amy putting a bag of white powder into her drink. The white powder quickly dissolved into the liquid. She was shocked by her actions. "Amy, are you crazy?" she asked. "You're pregnant. You can't just take any medicine you want. If you feel unwell, we'll see a doctor when we reach the shore. Don't take any medicine yourself."A ferocious glint appeared in Amy's eyes. "Sasha,

Erik took the glass of lemonade and held it to his nose. When he smelt what it was, his expression shifted. "Where did you get this, Ms. Quilton? There's abortion medicine in this drink. You mustn't drink this."Amy was shocked and sobbed, "Ted, I'm so scared! Why did Jessie give me this drink? My baby is only a few weeks old and is no bigger than a tiny egg! Why is she being so cruel to me?"Thaddeus was shocked. He thought they were just having a catfight. He didn't expect something so cruel to happen. He looked at Jessamine in suspicion as if he was questioning her.His doubtful gaze broke Jessamine's heart. "Thaddeus, she gave me that drink, but I didn't drink it. That's why she's framing me now. You can check the surveillance tapes if you don't believe me."Thaddeus just wanted to know the truth, but he didn't want everyone to know about this scandal. He didn't want to cause a commotion by getting people to investigate the surveillance tapes."Jessamine, you said Amy gave you
