"Jessie, have you finished work? You haven't had dinner yet, right?" Thomas asked."Grandpa, the two of us just got off work."Thomas laughed and said, "It's great that your two companies are next to each other. The office location Ted found this time isn't too bad. You can have lunch together at noon and even go home together in the evening."Thaddeus helped himself to the items in the fridge, taking a good amount of meat, eggs, and vegetables. Thomas watched in shock as Thaddeus completely emptied his fridge, then led his wife upstairs.The rascal only thought about his wife wholeheartedly now!Thaddeus placed the items he brought back in the kitchen. He made a point to check that the door was locked to avoid a repeat of the embarrassing incident from last time.He wasn't really trying to oppose Thomas. It was just that if he had to go through this again, he didn't think he could manage to get along with Jessamine anymore.The two of them returned to the kitchen to clean the v

"We definitely need to find this Quilton guy! My daughter would rather leave home than abandon that poor man. She wouldn't have done anything wrong, so there must be something we're missing here," Gloria said.Gloria and Jessamine had the same idea."Grandma, I need to figure all this out. Although it's just a suspicion, I think my mom may have been deceived by Colin more than once."What Jessamine thought of in her mind was disheartening, but she knew Colin's character well. He was someone ruthless enough to abandon even his own mother, so there was no way he would care about a woman.He only cared about money and didn't have a shred of human compassion.Gloria was supportive of her. "Go ahead. If you need any help, ask Xander. He has a lot of connections. You could also consider hiring a private detective.""I'll go confront Colin first. It's not easy to dig up information from so many years ago, especially since he's currently locked up and it's inconvenient for him to talk."

Jessamine showed Colin the DNA test results. His face turned progressively pale. He had no idea when she had started having doubts and went to get a test done.His plot was exposed. No matter how shameless he was, he could no longer keep up the act.Colin decided to play the sympathy card. He said, "Jessie, even though we're not biologically related, you've always called me your father, and I've raised you as my daughter for so long. Doesn't that care and love count for anything? I'm still your dad, my beloved daughter!"Jessamine responded, "What you call care and love is to take all my mother's assets for yourself? You used her to help you start a company and develop your business. "Then, you conspired with another woman to kill her. Now, you're letting your mistress and illegitimate child come after me. I'm sorry, but I can't see how any of that is care and love toward me."Colin began to wipe his tears and said, "Jessie, I know I haven't been a good father. Please forgive me

Jessamine held back her intense heartache as she thought about Elizabeth. She truly felt it was unfair for Elizabeth. If it were not for the glass separating her and Colin, she would have gone over and slapped that scumbag on Elizabeth's behalf.Everything Colin mentioned was all he knew. He truly did not know what happened after that. That night, Elizabeth returned in a terrible state with her body covered in marks.Colin had felt uncomfortable and irritated on the inside, but he had to pretend to be nice and accommodating. He needed Elizabeth's support in his career. His company was not doing well. So, he would not easily kick her out.He had no idea whom Elizabeth had spent that night with, and neither did she know the identity of the person as well. She not only consumed some drugs given to her by Colin, but she also drank alcohol.At this moment, Jessamine was so overwhelmed with the heartbreaking truth she just heard that she could not think straight. She felt deeply sorry fo

Jessamine slept right through lunchtime. As the afternoon sunlight streamed in, she rubbed her eyes which still felt sore. She might have cried too much.The surroundings gave her the illusion of traveling back in time. The familiar room, its familiar arrangements, and even the ornaments on the bedside table hadn't changed—it was still what she had picked up from a small trinket shop.Jessamine picked up a kitten figurine beside her. She had bought a pair, and there was one on Thaddeus' bedside table as well.When they were placed on the bedside table, Thaddeus was very annoyed. He said they were fragile and would take up too much space and that it made everything look messy. He was the kind of person who preferred things to be neat and didn't like having anything on his desk.Jessamine wanted to change his reserved nature, so she deliberately went against his preferences and insisted on placing things on the table. Although he didn't like it, he didn't do anything to stop her and
