When Layla went to play with her toys, and Lucas excused himself, Xander sat on the sofa. "Jessie, did something happen?"Jessamine had been trying to stay calm for a while, but hearing Xander's concern made her composure slip away. "Xander, I met Thaddeus Holt. Will he try to take the children away?"Xander's expression became stern. "He recognized you?"Jessamine nodded, her eyes reddened. Right now, her mental state was extremely poor. Coupled with her frequent bouts of insomnia, she was on the verge of breaking down both mentally and physically.Xander felt distressed for his cousin and also furious that Thaddeus was in Hajera to disrupt their peaceful lives. "Don't worry. I'm no pushover. If he dares try to take the children away, I have plenty of ways to handle him!"Jessamine looked up at Xander. She trusted him, but she still couldn't help but be afraid. She cared too much about Lucas and Layla, and she knew very well what kind of person Amy was.If Thaddeus really took t

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

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

"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

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
