《Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce》全部章節：第 161 章 - 第 170 章

In Zenville, Jessamine's right eye kept twitching. According to an old saying, when someone's left eye twitched, it signified financial gain. However, if the right eye twitched, it signified impending doom.She couldn't imagine what doom would befall her. At almost 6:00 pm, she saw the results of the competition in the design department. Her work was ranked last.Jessamine was speechless for a while as she stared at her phone. She looked through everyone's designs and couldn't say they were good. There was no way her design would rank last. She received Selene's messages right after. "Jessie, today's evaluation was so unfair! Yvonne put names to everyone's work. The necklace you designed had the highest score initially, but after seeing the name, it was ranked last. They did it on purpose!"Selene was complaining about the competition."So what came first?""The ring designed by Ms. Quilton.""What happens to the piece that wins first place?"Jessamine had just joined Holt J

Jessamine pulled her hand away in disgust, as if she just heard a joke. Amy dared to even suggest terminating her pregnancy and leaving Thaddeus."Amy, it's surprising that you would utter such venomous words. Crying in front of me won't help. I'm not Thaddeus. I've never recognized you as my sister, and I won't sympathize with you. Stop with the crocodile tears."What was she thinking? Asking her to terminate the pregnancy and leave Thaddeus? The twins were her only family now. When Jessamine heard what she had to say, she didn't want to talk anymore."I have nothing to say to you, Amy." Jessamine stood up to leave but then turned to say, "I will never get a divorce, and I'll give birth to the baby safely.""Jessie, don't you want your mother's items back? Don't you want Eastlake Villa back?" Amy tried another tactic. She knew Jessamine couldn't let go of Elizabeth. That was her bottom line. Jessamine paused and returned to her seat. "You sold the villa, and you still have the

"The one closest to Holt Jewelry."They agreed on that. Before Jessamine left work, she checked the address and packed her things as soon as it was time to leave. On the top floor of Yebar Tower, Benji was sipping tea. He had a good idea of why Jessamine wanted to come, but he wasn't sure if he should tell her the truth.He picked up his phone and sent a message to Thaddeus, "Your wife is looking for me. Should I tell her about it?" Benji decided to wait for his answer. Before Thaddeus could reply, Jessamine had arrived first. "Jessie, you're here quick. I thought there might be traffic."Jessamine entered the room and sat opposite him. Without beating around the bush, she got straight to the point. "Mr. Moore, I'm here to ask about the purchase of Eastlake Villa."Benji cleared his throat, realizing he had guessed correctly. He glanced at his phone, but his unreliable friend hadn't replied yet. Should he tell her the truth?"Let's order something to eat first, Jessie. We'll

Everything was so unfamiliar that she couldn't believe this was the house she had grown up in for over a decade. Jessamine's throat tightened. She frantically searched around.She finally found Elizabeth's box in the storage room on the ground floor, along with some of her childhood books. She began sorting through the contents, trembling uncontrollably. Benji watched as she sobbed, heartbroken, unable to leave. He stood by her side quietly. "Jessie, this house is yours now. Don't rush, take your time."Jessamine's hands couldn't help but tremble. All the valuables left by Elizabeth had been taken away, leaving only the unimportant things behind. Inside the box were Elizabeth's notes, recording some recipes. The paper had turned yellow, indicating they had been there for years. In one of the notebooks, Jessamine found an old photo. It seemed like it had been taken out frequently, as the edges were yellowed. In the photo, Elizabeth had shoulder-length hair, looking bright and li

Thaddeus immediately remembered what Colin had told him on the phone today and felt an ache in his chest. Was she being bullied by that old man again?"Jessie, where are you right now?" he asked again."Huh? I-I'm at home." Jessamine had a tell. She stuttered whenever she lied."Let me ask you again. Where are you? Don't make me find out myself."Jessamine felt creeped out. It was as if Thaddeus was actually watching her. How did he know she was lying? "I'm at Eastlake Villa." Thaddeus had intimidated her, so she had no choice but to tell him the truth.This time, Thaddeus was silent. After a long while, he asked, "Did Benji tell you?"Jessamine sat on the sofa with her phone in her hand. "Yeah."Thaddeus was expecting her to ask him some questions, but all she did was hum in assent. Upon hearing her response, he felt as if he had wasted his time and efforts. She could at least let him know that she was happy he did this. Why was she just humming in assent?Thaddeus didn't
