Jordan held a baseball bat and gave a tap on the man's face, threatening, "Quit the damn nonsense and get to the point!"The man shivered a few times and began speaking, "It was a stylishly dressed lady. We only saw her side profile. She's slim, with waist-length curly hair, and she wore pearl earrings."She gave us 300 thousand in cash, asking us to wait on Auburn Street for a beautiful lady. She told us to rape that lady, and then she'd pay us another 100 thousand. That's all I know. Please spare me, sir."Another thug, cowering with his neck hunched, vigorously nodded, confirming the story.A cold chill swept over Thaddeus' heart. Thankfully, Jessamine was okay. The thought of her almost being raped by these three scumbags made him feel indescribably uneasy.The clues stopped here. If the other party had provided a transfer account, he could have followed up on it. Unfortunately, they were careful and opted for a cash transaction instead.Thaddeus mulled over it for a while, a

Thaddeus looked at the woman in his arms, desire flickering in his eyes. He gently slid his hand over Amy's cheek."Are you not urging me to divorce anymore?" he asked.Amy was momentarily confused before realizing that he mistook her for Jessamine.She couldn't believe that bitch!Amy thought Thaddeus was finally going to genuinely accept her, just like an adult man would to a woman he likes. She thought he wanted to possess her. Her heart swelled with joy, ready to give herself to him completely. But just as she was getting emotional, reality rained on her parade.She felt heartbroken momentarily but quickly calmed down.Thaddeus cradled her face and pecked her a few times. However, he noticed the woman in his arms showed no reaction. She just stared at him with a hurtful look.He instantly lost interest in continuing any further."It's been three years, and you're still like a block of wood," he commented disdainfully.Amy helped him back to the master bedroom. The room w

Noah pressed the button for the second floor, and the elevator quickly descended.Upon reaching the second floor, Noah walked directly into an examination room, with Jessamine following behind.Inside the room was a young doctor who appeared similar in age to Noah.Noah led Jessamine to sit in front of the doctor's desk."Samuel, could you please take a look at her face? How do we reduce the swelling?" he asked hurriedly.Samuel Watson directed his gaze at Jessamine's face and teased, "Wow, Noah, where did you find such a beautiful young lady?"It took Noah a moment to regain his senses before he said, "Prescribe some topical medicine suitable for pregnant women."Samuel wrote a prescription as requested. When he heard Noah's request, he held his pen and lifted his eyes to look at Noah with a hint of playfulness."Man, things are moving quite fast for you," teased Samuel.Noah coldly responded, "Stop talking nonsense. She's my … nephew's wife."Samuel was taken aback momentar

Jessamine pushed his hand away and shouted, "Don't touch me, you filthy thing!"The two arrived at the entrance of an emergency exit. There weren't many people around in the morning, and the hallway was quiet."Did you tell Grandpa about our situation?" Thaddeus questioned.Thaddeus couldn't think of anything else that could have triggered Thomas' sudden heart attack. Naturally, he suspected that Jessamine had leaked their impending divorce.Jessamine sneered. "Don't you know what you've done?"Thaddeus lit a cigarette and took a deep drag."What have I done? Explain clearly," he said.Watching his every move, Jessamine couldn't help but think that he was taking an after-sex cigarette.He had fun the whole night yesterday, but he made Thomas go through a perilous experience.She sneered again and said, "Grandpa fainted after hearing your call. I know you have a pretty good sex life, but is it necessary for the whole world to know about it?"If you don't like me, I'll make wa

After speaking, Thomas coughed a few times. His body was so weak that he couldn't summon any energy. It was a far cry from the spirited figure he displayed a few days ago during his morning workout in the yard.Jessamine cried uncontrollably. She was reminded of her grandmother, whose health had deteriorated rapidly after a simple fall in the yard. Half a year later, they were separated forever.At his age, people's bodies were extremely fragile. They could leave this world at any time."Grandpa, please stop talking and rest," urged Jessamine.Thomas sighed, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. Then he began to cough violently.Jessamine was so distressed that words failed her."Grandpa, please stop coughing. I promise. I promise …" she pleaded.After a prolonged bout of coughing, Thomas finally settled down. He stroked Jessamine's hair and looked at her apologetically."I frightened you, didn't I? Did you stay up all night? Go back and rest. This bastard will stay w
