The clacking sound of high heels approached, and Jessamine's face turned pale as she clenched her fists.Outside the door, Sasha and Heather, dressed extravagantly as wealthy socialites, walked toward the private room.Since the manager's pleas were futile, he turned to the two formidable figures.He said, "Ms. Heather, Ms. Sasha, I'm really sorry. The guests in the private room have already begun their meal, so it's inconvenient to move them. "Could I arrange a luxurious room opposite this one for you? I have a list here. If you could put in a good word with Mr. Holt for us, it would greatly help our restaurant."Sasha snorted. "My mother only likes this room. Please ask the people inside to leave immediately. Even if we have to cover the cost of this meal, we must have this private room today."Heather patted Sasha's hand and said, "Sasha, be nice with your words. Your grandfather will be angry if he finds out."Then she smiled at the manager and said, "Manager, I'm truly sor

Oscar cleared his throat and continued pouring wine for Jessamine. "Madam, you'd better worry about your own son first. Our Jessie has both looks and talent. Why bother fighting over a man with someone who's blind and lame? "Instead of wasting your breath here, why don't you hurry up and find a woman for your son? If you wait too long, even blind and lame ones will be taken by others."Heather bit her lips till they turned pale, and she almost couldn't support herself to stand up. "Sasha, let's go!"The restaurant manager led the two of them to the opposite private room and brought fresh towels for Sasha.Sasha was still muttering angrily and threatening revenge. After being splashed twice with wine, she realized that Jessamine had changed. She was no longer as easy to bully as before. But despite her fierce words, she had taken no real action.At this moment, the person Heather had arranged to meet arrived. It was Tamara Sullivan, accompanied by her precious daughter, Wren Sul

"Mr. Holt, should we bid for the land in the south of the city?" Jordan asked. Thaddeus barely considered it before saying, "Of course we should bid. Why wouldn't we?" He insisted on acquiring the land Xander had his eye on. He would think about what to do with it later on. For now, it was just about giving that scumbag who abandoned his wife and son a hard time. Who gave him the right to cause trouble for the Holts for no reason?The call ended shortly after.Thaddeus walked to the ground floor and heard familiar voices from the front desk. When he turned his head, he saw her. Jessamine and a man who looked older than her were arguing over who should pay the bill. Eventually, the receptionist took the man's card.Thaddeus' steps halted as he stood there observing the man from a distance. Men understood each other. The man's hair was styled, he was dressed formally, and his demeanor suggested ulterior motives. Most importantly, Thaddeus heard the man call Jessamine "Jessie"—th

Jessamine spent the afternoon at the arcade with Oscar. As dinner time approached, Shane called her, inviting her to a fashion show. Since Shane's designs were being showcased, she had to attend, especially since she happened to be in Zenville at the right time."Mr. James, I have plans with a friend later, so I won't accompany you anymore. If you want to drink, head to Gemini Street. There's a street full of bars there," Jessamine said.Oscar rubbed his nose, thinking teasingly what an ungrateful person Jessamine was. Who exactly accompanied whom this afternoon?"Alright then, you owe me a meal. We'll make it up another day. I haven't tried the walnut cakes, barbecued meats, or those old streets that often appear in TV shows. You have to accompany me."Oscar said all this in one breath, which made Jessamine suspicious. Was this guy really visiting Zenville for the first time? He drove straight to this mall in the afternoon without using navigation or checking the map."Mr. James,

The video showed Thaddeus looking extremely haggard, with his clothes covered in dirt. He had a stubble growing on his chin, and the look in his eyes was vacant, devoid of any vitality. He knelt before her grave, continuously muttering, "Jessie, I'm late…"Jessamine had never seen Thaddeus like this before. He was someone with a cleanliness obsession who couldn't tolerate even a speck of dirt on his clothes. Yet, in the video, it seemed like he had disregarded everything as if the world had collapsed around him.Jessamine paused the video. She couldn't bear to watch any further. She felt confused, unsure which version of him was the real one.The man who once abandoned her like a worn-out shoe was now grieving at her grave as if he couldn't bear to live without her. He confessed his feelings to her just days ago, only to accept advances from other women shortly after.Jessamine smiled bitterly and shook her head. Why dwell on the past? Why not look forward?Shane's storytelling co
