Jessamine took a sleeping pill and finally had some good sleep. Over the course of one night, she accepted that she had to live her life even after crossing paths with Thaddeus once more.Lucas and Layla hadn't been to kindergarten for days, and her top priority was to enroll them in another one.After washing up, she approached Xander. She wanted to ask him about the kindergarten Layla had mentioned the day before and suggested they visit it together when they were free. However, when she arrived outside the study and was about to knock on the door, she heard a conversation between Xander and Charlie."Mr. Patton, we've dealt with the woman who harmed Ms. Patton," Charlie reported. "Thaddeus Holt is a cruel man. He tortured her and pushed her to the brink. We simply put her out of her misery.""That woman already had murders under her belt. She should've been executed a long time ago. Any news on Amy Quilton's whereabouts?" Xander asked."We haven't found her yet. We should've
Xander explained, "Margaret harmed your mother for two reasons. She wanted to take her place as Colin's wife and transplant her heart into Amy's body. "They were the ones behind this vicious plot. Margaret has died in prison, while Amy has escaped from Zenville. Our people have been looking for her for four years, but we still can't find her."Jessamine felt uncomfortable. "Since Amy already has a healthy heart, does that mean she was just faking it when her condition acted up?"Xander nodded. "That's most likely the case."At the thought of her mother's heart being in the person who had harmed her, Jessamine felt her hatred welling in her chest. She wanted to rip that bitch into shreds.Xander was worried that she couldn't handle the shock. "Jessie, since you already know the truth, there's something I want to discuss with you. "I plan to move Aunt Eliza's grave to Hajera. She had been through too much in Zenville, so we shouldn't leave her in that godforsaken city. What do yo
There were a lot of voices of discussion outside the door. "Is that guy really the CEO of Holt Jewelry? He looks even more handsome in person!""Goodness, I can't believe I met the top CEO in this industry. He's here to see Jacinda, though. What relationship do you think they have? He's not trying to buy out this studio, right?""I told you that Jacinda isn't a regular person. She actually knows the industry's big shot. Since she does, why doesn't she work at Holt Jewelry as a designer?""Do you even know what you're saying? We don't earn as much as Jacinda. Even after taking this many orders, we still don't earn as much as someone who works for another company.""You have a point, but Jacinda doesn't look like someone who's short of money."…Thaddeus ignored the whispers outside the door. He carefully looked around the office, which had been cleaned. The windows gleamed, with a wind chime hanging in front of it.The folder on the table had the name "Jacinda Patton" on it. It w
"Let's find somewhere private to talk!" Thaddeus said. Although Thaddeus and Jerome said they were about to talk, they sounded as if they were about to fight.Jerome was familiar with the area, so he brought Thaddeus to a park behind the office building. It was almost noon, and the sun was scorching. The park was empty, and even the equipment was hot. There were cafes and restaurants nearby, but Jerome believed that Thaddeus, the bastard, didn't deserve such pleasantries."Go ahead. Ask me anything you want." Jerome lazily sat on a stationary bike as if preparing to face off with Thaddeus.Thaddeus felt a tightness in his chest. Four years ago, he knew this bastard was interested in his wife, but he kept his feelings to himself. But now, he was declaring war.At this moment, he regretted not giving Jerome more beatings and crippling him when he was still overweight. "What the hell are you doing?" Thaddeus asked. Jerome placed his legs on the pedals and replied calmly, "As y
"We'll see. I won't let you win," Jerome spat. Then, he stood up and left without saying anything else. He knew he couldn't win Jessamine over with just his charms. Since she had her heart broken before, she wouldn't believe in love so easily. He believed he needed to give her some time and slowly give her a sense of security. As long as he was diligent, he was sure he could win her heart.Thaddeus stood under the bright sun for a long time, the impending danger rendering him helpless. As someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he had never felt this way.He had many admirers over the years. Countless women, including supermodels, celebrities, and wealthy heiresses, would try to charm him. However, other than Jessamine, no other woman had ever caught his interest.As Thaddeus watched Jerome leave, he suddenly realized he was a hopeless fool regarding relationships. He already felt extremely uncomfortable when Jerome declared they should fight for Jessamine fair and square
Thaddeus walked around the car, happy with its appearance. Then, he unlocked his phone and took a photo. He posted a tweet of it with the caption, "The car she loves."Jordan handed Thaddeus the keys, wondering when his boss' aesthetic sense had changed.Thaddeus looked at Jordan and said, "Get in the car."Jordan was confused for a moment. Did Thaddeus want to drive the car himself? Throughout his years as Thaddeus' assistant, he had always been the driver, so he had never been Thaddeus' passenger.Jordan feebly opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.Thaddeus was in a good mood and showed off his driving skills. He found the car a joy to use and was satisfied with every part of it, except that it could be too fast.Jordan held the armrest tightly, his heart almost leaping out of his throat. Sure enough, not everyone could handle Thaddeus' driving. He felt his stomach churning as he watched Thaddeus skillfully turn the steering wheel and overtake the other cars on the r
Milton simply remained silent with a smile on his face. He understood the situation very well. With Thaddeus' unruly personality, he wasn't surprised if he had offended someone powerful.He asked his butler to bring a notebook and pushed it in front of Thaddeus. "Pick whichever one you like. Let me know if something catches your eye. Don't be shy."Thaddeus wasn't one to be bashful. He picked up the book and looked through the available properties. Soon, he found a house that wasn't too far from Jaricles Design Studio.According to the information, it was a 2400-square-foot apartment with a view of the river. It was also located on a floor that he liked."Mr. Winchester, I want to buy this one," he said. Milton took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "You have a keen eye, Ted. I just bought that one the year before last year. Everything there is still brand new. "That apartment also has the floor-to-ceiling window and river view you youngsters love. Go ahead and live the
Thaddeus had already put up the light blue curtains. In contrast to the previous style of his home, which consisted of only black, white, and gray, he decorated this apartment according to Jessamine's preferences.Jordan glanced around the room. After moving everything in, he helped Thaddeus unpack the packages.Thaddeus no longer looked like the cold CEO he used to be. He was now acting like a good family man. He put away the things from the packages bit by bit. As he looked around the house, he always had a feeling that something was missing. He was far less meticulous than Jessamine in these things. "Jordan, do you think I need to buy anything else?" he asked. Jordan finished unpacking the last parcel, which contained a set of couple's toiletries, towels, and cups. He handed them to Thaddeus and said, "Mr. Holt, based on my many years of experience living with my fiancée, I believe you still don't have enough clothes for Mrs. Holt."Jordan remembered something his fiancée o
