Thaddeus believed that he would be letting Jerome down if he were to let this scandal slide. After all, he still needed to watch his dearest childhood friend's back.Thaddeus returned to his senses. It was time for him to give Jerome some things to deal with so he wouldn't have time to visit Jaricles Design Studio as he wished. He said, "Contact some media companies and have them camp outside Cascadia Hotel. They aren't allowed to leave until they get photos of them."Jordan chuckled and reminded him, "Mr. Holt, the door to the suite is still open.""Tell the paparazzi that. They'll know what to do," Thaddeus said darkly.Jordan secretly felt pity for Jerome. The paparazzi were insane. If they knew the suite door was open, they would definitely barge in there and capture every detail of Summer and Horatio in bed.If Summer got caught in a scandal, the reputation of the drama that was currently airing would also be tarnished. At best, the production team would only switch female

Thaddeus knew Jessamine's hobbies. When the two of them were together, she wouldn't miss any jewelry exhibition within her proximity. He parked the car and entered the building with his tickets.This exhibition was quite large. It caught the attention of many jewelry enthusiasts, as well as designers. The entrance was bustling with people. As he waited at the end of the line to enter the exhibition, his eyes darted around as he looked for Jessamine in the crowd."Excuse me! Sir!"Thaddeus felt someone tugging on his pants. He looked down, only to see a young girl who wasn't even as tall as his legs. Her hair was tied into a bun, and she was looking at him with wide eyes.When he saw those eyes, he was shocked. This was his first time seeing someone with eyes as beautiful as Jessamine's, and he couldn't help but stare at them. He asked, "Do you need some help, little girl?"Layla frowned slightly. "Sir, my smartwatch is out of power. Can you help me call my mommy?"Thaddeus looked

Thaddeus didn't even look at the jewelry. His eyes were simply on Layla.Layla tried to take a photo of a ruby in a relatively high spot, but even when she stood on her tiptoes, she still couldn't find the perfect angle.Thaddeus bent down and picked the little girl up to let her take the perfect picture. Later, he carried Layla so she could take the pictures for the rest of the exhibition. He had a strange feeling, as if he was overjoyed to have the chance to show his paternal love.After taking the pictures, the two of them found a relatively secluded place to check the photos. Layla then swiped to the photo of the ruby and stopped. "My mother would have liked this ruby. It's a shame that she couldn't come. If she were here, she would definitely buy it home."Thaddeus raised an eyebrow. He also thought the ruby was beautiful and had delicate colors. If it was cut and polished, it could be used to make some beautiful pendants and rings. "Then, why don't I buy it?"Layla looked di

Thaddeus said, "No problem. I'll keep it a secret."Soon, he safely arrived at Jadeston Villa. He got out of the car and opened the door for Layla. Then, he told her, "Don't lose the phone number I gave you. If Xander hits you, you must call me, okay?"Layla touched her pockets. "I got it!"However, Thaddeus was still a little worried. What if that scumbag attacked such an adorable girl?"Why don't you give me your phone number? Charge your smartwatch when you get home. We can keep in touch if you need anything.""Okay!" Layla grinned. She really had a great time at the exhibition. She felt a really strong connection with this stranger.Thaddeus saved Layla's number before taking her out of the car.Layla looked around and peeked inside the villa. There were some maids working in the yard. She sighed in relief when she didn't see Julia and Irene."I'm heading home!" She turned around and waved to Thaddeus before strutting into the yard.Thaddeus leaned against the car for a wh

When the Pattons returned to Elizabeth's villa, the people had already cleaned up the place. So, they decided to live in this villa during their stay in Zenville. At night, Jessamine called Shane as promised. He had already prepared the ingredients for a potluck. Meanwhile, Melissa was helping him prepare the food. When she got Shane's call, she quickly switched shifts with her colleague and drove to his home. She had suspicions about his claims. Four years ago, she had gotten the news that Jessamine died in that car accident. Thaddeus was depressed for a long time before he slowly recovered.Melissa thought Shane was joking, but he sounded so serious on the phone. He didn't sound like he was joking at all, so she had to see what was going on.When Jessamine called, Shane put the call on speakerphone.Upon hearing Jessamine's voice, Melissa covered her mouth, and her eyes were wide with shock. "Jessie, it's really you!"After a few moments, Jessamine said on the phone, "I'm
