As Sasha swaggered away, she sent a message to Amy. "It's a success!"She left Jessamine locked outside on the balcony. Jessamine felt her pockets—she didn't have her phone with her. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.Thomas must have been asleep at this hour. He had a mild condition of insomnia and found it hard to go back to sleep after being woken up, so she didn't dare to yell for help. It would wake Thomas up.Jessamine sat down with her back against the door. She wrapped her arms around her legs. She couldn't help wondering what Thaddeus and Amy were doing.Then, she laughed at herself for being foolish. They were a couple that had just reunited after being separated for a long time. What else could they be doing?As the night breeze grew stronger, Jessamine couldn't help surrendering to her fatigue. After everything that had happened last night—from the almost-rape to ending up in bed with Thaddeus—she was exhausted. She drifted off to sleep while leaning against the door.

Jessamine wiped the water off her face and looked Thaddeus in the eye. She bravely asked again, "When are we finalizing the divorce? I can't take it anymore."Thaddeus was so angry that he could combust right then and there. "Are you that sick of me? Or are you in a hurry to search for your precious Malcolm?"He couldn't believe he was actually bothered by Malcolm. He didn't even know whether the guy existed!Jessamine smile bitterly. "Could you at least let me know when the divorce will be finalized? If your sister could lock me out on the balcony tonight, who knows whether she'd kill me tomorrow?"Thaddeus didn't believe her excuses. "You were the one who was dumb enough to get locked out. Didn't anyone teach you to fight back when you're being bullied?"He leaned close to her and gripped her jaw. "Did you know that you dream about your precious Malcolm every night? Every time you call his name, I just want to pin you underneath me and have my way with you.""Just like what you did l

Benji hadn't liked Amy from the get-go. He found her to be too much of a fake bitch. He got angry at the thought of Thaddeus divorcing Jessamine for Amy's sake."You don't deserve to drink my wine, you jerk. Jessie's a great woman, and she's obviously much easier to deal with. I don't know why she had the bad luck of meeting you."Thaddeus sneered. "Her, easy to deal with? Do you know how much she demanded from me? A hundred million dollars! And she can't wait to get the divorce over with.""Oh? She demanded too little if you ask me."The two men drank and drank until they could barely speak. Thaddeus kept muttering, "Tomorrow at 10:00 am. Whoever doesn't show up is a coward."…And just like that, Thaddeus disappeared for a night. Everyone at Holt Manor thought he'd spent the whole night outside. Jessamine was the only one who knew he'd stormed off after she'd pissed him off. She supposed he'd returned to Islington Apartments after that.Thomas was grumbling about Thaddeus all

"You bastard! You're such a bastard! You already have a wife and a side chick, and yet you still laid your hands on me? Just where do you get your libido from? Fuck, you didn't think I was Amy, did you?"Benji couldn't help shuddering at the thought of Thaddeus mistaking himself for Amy and thus molesting him all over.Meanwhile, Thaddeus thought that Benji was being annoying. "Bullshit. I've never touched Amy like that!"Benji looked at him doubtfully. "And what makes you think I'd believe you?""It's up to you whether or not to believe me. I don't have to explain myself to you. I've got my principles, and I'd never touch her inappropriately before marriage. Also, Amy is such a pure, innocent lady. She'd never let anyone touch her like that either."To be honest, Benji nearly believed Thaddeus for a moment, with how sincere the latter looked. However, as soon as Thaddeus used "pure" and "innocent" to describe Amy, Benji felt beyond disgusted."Have you never heard of the saying

"Do I look like I'm fucking blind? I saw you push her with my very own eyes! Don't fucking argue with me!"Amy sat up on the ground and burst into loud wails."Teddy, Jessie called me a side bitch! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have returned to the country at all! The doctor said that I shouldn't be triggered because my body is too weak. Maybe I should return to Marita tomorrow.

"Isn't it good news that the Holt family is about to welcome another family member? Why do you want to hide it?""We … We're getting divorced. I've already signed the divorce papers."Noah raised an eyebrow and stared deeply into Jessamine's eyes. A brief while later, he nodded his head softly.
