At the CEO's office at Holt Jewelry, a thick stack of printouts was placed on Thaddeus' desk. Each page contained information on individuals with "Malcolm" in their names. He had just casually flipped through a few pages, but he already felt annoyed.Who was the person Jessamine couldn't let go of in her dreams?Unexpectedly, there were more than tens of thousands of people in the whole country with such a mundane name. Regardless, it didn't seem like Malcolm was a big shot."Send these lists to the marketing department and have them call each and every one of the names on it," Thaddeus ordered.

Others chimed in, "That's right! We should find Lolly first, and then we can negotiate the terms. Everyone has their weak points.

Amara carefully sat on the couch across from Thaddeus, assuming an elegant posture."Excuse me, Mr. Holt, were you looking for me?"Before she could finish, Thaddeus gave Jordan a look, then returned his attention to his phone.Amara's heart sank a little.After that, Jordan did all the talking. He asked her a few questions she couldn't understand before dismissing her. Throughout the entire process, Thaddeus didn't even say a word to her.Following that, Jordan interviewed the second person, the third person, until the fourteenth person using the same method."Mr. Holt, we've eliminated everyone on the list, and we still can't find Ms. Lolly.

Jessamine's words made Thaddeus feel like he was doused with a bucket of cold water. The woman before him no longer resembled the proper housewife she used to be.What a scumbag of a woman!What kind of scummy words was this woman spouting?"What are you playing at? Are you having fun with Malcolm? What makes him so special? If you're feeling lonely, you can always come to me.
