View MoreFinally, Thomas came around. When he saw the fleeting figure, he grew suspicious. "Wait a minute! Who's sitting next to you?"Thaddeus felt elated. "Grandpa, it's Jessie."Thomas smiled widely. "It's really Jessie. Let me see if Jessie has become more beautiful over the years."Thaddeus glanced at Jessamine as if he were seeking her consent. Jessamine stayed silent in the corner for a while, unsure how to face Thomas. She wasn't prepared for this.She had been discovered just like that.She scooted over and greeted Thomas, "Grandpa, it's me."Thomas was somewhat excited, having saved up a lot to say and not knowing where to start. After a while, he said, "Child, why did you lose so much weight?"Jessamine pursed her lips. "Grandpa, slimming down is trendy now. I'm on a diet."Thomas' eyes narrowed. "Nonsense! That's an unhealthy aesthetic. Listen to Grandpa and eat up. If you want to eat something, let Ted buy it for you. He has money!""Grandpa, I'll buy it myself."Thomas w
Thaddeus' mood was not very pleasant at the moment. When Jessamine handed him the tissue, he didn't resist. He took it and wiped haphazardly where he had just scratched.Jessamine found the bottle of ointment prescribed by Dr. Fisher from the bag and handed it to him. "You should apply the medicine. If there are places you can't reach, let Jordan help later."Thaddeus felt bitter and wanted to ask if Jessamine really wasn't going to help him. However, he held back his words. He squeezed the bottle of ointment in his hand and after a while, asked, "Will you peek?"Jessamine burst into laughter at his question. It sounded like he was afraid of being seen by her. It was as if he didn't know who had asked Erik last night if he needed to remove his pants.She turned her face away. At the next intersection, the left turn would lead back to Thaddeus' house, while her own house was in the opposite direction."Don't worry. I promise not to look. If you're still worried, I can sit in the fr
Jessamine glanced at the two men concentrating on their game in front of her, still aiming for victory. She had just been thinking of finding an excuse to escape from Noah's sight. Now, Thaddeus' appearance inexplicably reassured her."Let's go. I'll accompany you to apply the medicine," she said.His stubbornness made him reluctant to say it, so she took the initiative to offer him an excuse. Plus, it just so happened that she wanted to leave.Thaddeus' eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up. "Jessie, let's go."Jordan was speechless. It turned out that Jessamine's words were the most effective. In this world, the only ones who could control Thaddeus were either an illness or his wife.Thaddeus and Jessamine walked side by side in front. Jordan followed behind, packing up the bag and putting back the items he had just taken out.Jessamine sent a message to Oscar. She told him that she had something to do and was leaving first and that they could have dinner together another da
Since that incident, no woman dared to seek attention in front of Thaddeus again. It was inconceivable that such a celibate figure, who viewed women as specimens, would show a flattering attitude toward Jessamine.Samson felt that his cooperation with Colin many years ago was simply the best decision he had ever made in his life. Without that connection, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Jessamine, let alone have any involvement with these three big shots."Mr. Holt, what brings you here?" he asked pleasingly.Thaddeus lifted his gaze slightly and forced a smile. At least he greeted him.Samson, with a strong sense of flattery, immediately expressed that he had business to discuss with Jessamine."Mr. Holt, Ms. Patton and I have been cooperating for many years. This is the first time we've had the pleasure of meeting. I didn't expect you and Ms. Patton to be friends. It seems like we're all one family!"Thaddeus then glanced at him, giving him a high appraisal. "Cooper
Thaddeus' gaze fell on the suit jacket on the back of the chair, his brows furrowing. He casually picked it up and threw it to Jordan, then sat down next to Jessamine."Jessie, do you enjoy watching golf?" he asked.Jessamine responded with an acknowledging hum without lifting her head, still engrossed in her phone screen. This clumsy attempt at conversation was less effective than simply saying, "You resemble my ex-wife".Thaddeus glanced mockingly at the two men vigorously playing golf in front of them, neither of whom impressed him."Jessie, did you come with Noah?" he inquired.Jessamine shook her head, still brief with her words. "No."Thaddeus felt a slight relief after hearing this. However, his mood quickly darkened when she added, "I came with Mr. James."Thaddeus felt his chest tighten. His jealousy had reached its peak this time."Jessie, do you know who Oscar James is? You shouldn't get too close to him. He's had so many ex-girlfriends that he could form an army—mat
"Find out where these chairs are from and let me know the results immediately," Thaddeus commanded coldly.Jordan wiped his forehead. He had to find where these chairs were from? That seemed quite challenging."Mr. Holt, I'll do my best," Jordan replied as he immediately sent out inquiries. Fortunately, he recognized the suit and when combined with Thaddeus' reaction, he inferred that the likely owner of the suit was someone he detested.He also dispatched someone to track down Noah's whereabouts, and soon, the results came back."Mr. Holt, the location in the photo is Lime Golf Course. Mrs. Holt is also there."Of course, Thaddeus knew that Jessamine was there.He mustered his strength and sat up, then got out of bed."We're going there now," he declared.Jordan was astonished. "Mr. Holt, your fever hasn't completely gone down. Your stomach hasn't recovered and your rash hasn't subsided. You should rest more."Thaddeus ignored Jordan, got up, and went to the closet to chang
Not long after, Samson's assistant wheeled in a food cart, stocked with chilled fruits, beverages, mineral water, and small desserts.Jessamine was sitting there quietly when suddenly her phone rang. It was a message from Jordan."Mrs. Holt, Mr. Holt is awake now. Are you still coming over later?"Jessamine rubbed her temples, feeling the aftereffects of staying up late. Her head was throbbing."I have something to do right now and can't come over. You and Dr. Fisher take care of him."On the other end of the phone, Thaddeus lay in bed listening to Jordan read Jessamine's message. His eyes dimmed instantly. He shouldn't have fallen asleep. He knew this would be the result. She would definitely leave while he was asleep.Jordan held the phone anxiously and asked, "Mr. Holt, should I reply?""Just say I have no appetite and just want to eat the ramen from last night."Jordan's fingers typed across the screen, quickly relaying the message.As soon as the message was sent, Thaddeu
On the side, Samson could smell trouble brewing and quickly stepped forward to act as a peacemaker. He couldn't afford to offend either of these big shots. Any one of them could bankrupt him."Mr. James, this is Mr. Noah Holt of Holt Jewelry." Turning his head, he introduced Noah to Oscar."Mr. Holt, this is Mr. Oscar James from the Pattons Real Estate company. It's quite a coincidence that we're all gathered here today. Haha!"Samson forced a few laughs, feeling the awkwardness himself.Although these two big shots clearly didn't think much of each other, their good manners prevented them from exchanging harsh words. Nonetheless, their eyes were locked in a silent battle.Noah had thoroughly investigated Oscar during his journey here. What he was still unclear about was the relationship between Jessamine and him. Judging from Oscar's reaction, this man had some thoughts about Jessamine. That was something he couldn't tolerate.The wily Samson had already figured out why these tw
The two got out of the car and arrived at the golf course exactly at 10:00 am. Samson Lloyd from Bejeweled Group was already waiting downstairs and approached Oscar with quick steps."Mr. James, I finally met you in person. I've been wanting to arrange a meeting with you for a long time."Jessamine was somewhat surprised that these two knew each other. Seeing Samson's fawning demeanor, she somewhat understood Oscar's intention in timing their arrival precisely. It was a matter of maintaining his authority by not allowing himself to arrive early.In the business world, Oscar's reputation preceded him, and dealing with such matters was a breeze for him.Oscar put away his usual carefree demeanor and formally introduced Jessamine to Samson."Mr. Lloyd, this is Jessamine Patton, the largest shareholder of Quilton Corporation."This statement startled Samson. He had always cooperated with Colin, and whenever they discussed business or signed contracts, it was Colin and his assistant w
