Compared to Selene, Jessamine's reaction was extremely cold."He doesn't have unusually long legs. Is there a need to be so excited?" Jessamine sneered.Selene had a starry-eyed expression. "I've seen hot ones and rich ones, but for someone who combines both top conditions, Mr. Holt is the best in all of Zenville. He truly lives up to his title as every lady's dream husband."Jessamine glanced in the direction everyone was looking. At a distant table, Thaddeus sat with a slightly mature-looking lady adorned in jewels, seemingly discussing business.She hadn't paid much attention to the details in the morning. But now, observing him, she noticed that he was wearing a refined handmade suit, complemented by a deep blue tie.When he extended his hand, a glimpse of a dark-colored shirt cuff was revealed at his wrist. Even the way he drank coffee was elegant and sophisticated. He exuded an exceptional air just sitting there, making the entire coffee shop shine.Coincidentally, Thaddeus

Thaddeus' face instantly dimmed. Losing his appetite, he put down his fork and said sulkily, "Yes, I hid a woman inside."Jessamine stood up and adjusted her clothes.In a casual and indifferent tone, she replied, "I won't disturb you, then. Enjoy, but pay attention to time. Don't delay your work in the afternoon."After saying this, she pushed the door open and left. She knew Thaddeus' picky and almost abnormal aesthetic. Apart from a top-tier bitch like Amy, no one else could catch his eye.He only loved Amy, and Jessamine knew it best.When she thought of her face, which was very similar to Amy's, she felt bitter.In their three years of marriage, Jessamine had thought Thaddeus might have some feelings for her. At least in bed, when he was passionate, his eyes were full of her.He would whisper her nickname repeatedly in her ear. The name "Jessie" sounded like sugar-coated poison, lulling her into opening her heart to him completely.But all that tenderness was nothing compa

When Amy arrived at the CEO's office, Thaddeus was still busy working. He didn't even spare a glance at her when she entered."Teddy, what do you want to discuss with me?" she asked.Thaddeus instinctively looked at the door. It was closed.This action upset Amy. Wasn't it just calling him "Teddy" at the office? Did he need to be this vigilant? She had been calling him that for more than a decade.Thaddeus put down his pen, maintaining a professional expression."Amy, you've spent three years abroad, and you have a wide circle of friends in this industry. Do you have any way to contact Lolly?" he asked.Amy acted as though his office were her home as she casually hung her bag on his standing coat rack. Then she walked around to Thaddeus and gave him a shoulder massage."Are you talking about Swan's designer, Lolly?" Amy inquired.Thaddeus nodded. "Yes, her. Amy, stop massaging. Sit in front of me. I'm discussing business with you."Amy reluctantly sat on the sofa opposite him.

Thaddeus walked over with a cold expression. In those brief seconds, Jessamine made a hundred different plans in her mind.If he had really heard her conversation with Shane and knew about her pregnancy, then she would call Amy over and make things clear.He would have to choose between two pregnant ladies.Even though the odds were not in her favor, Jessamine wouldn't allow him to do anything that could harm her babies. She must bring her babies into this world.If Thaddeus refused, she would die with her babies.Perhaps she could bring Amy and her baby along. This could leave Thaddeus to grow old alone.Silently, Jessamine watched him approach as if waiting for a verdict.She was mentally prepared for anything. In her mind, she was reassuring her unborn twins."Don't be scared. I'll do whatever it takes to protect you. If Dad doesn't want you, it's not because you're not good enough. He's just not worthy!" Jessamine thought.Every second felt like mental torture. Jessamine h

Jessamine's words angered Thaddeus. Amy seemed like a thorn between them, causing pain for both of them.He had been waiting for the day of their divorce for three years. But now that the day was really here, he realized he wasn't as eager as he thought.He expected Jessamine to at least cause a scene. Yet she nonchalantly signed the divorce papers and rushed to get the divorce certificate.What did she take him for? A plaything in times of loneliness? Or a passing fling in high school?He gripped her chin with one hand and kissed her forcefully, biting down harshly on her lips. A metallic taste spread between their mouths."I'm your husband, Jessamine. As long as you don't have the divorce certificate, you're still Mrs. Holt. Please be mindful of your status before doing anything or making friends. You'll tarnish the reputation of the Holt family," he reprimanded.Jessamine wiped her lips, leaving a smear of bright red on the back of her hand. She didn't know if it was lipstick
