Thaddeus leaped out of bed to find the medical kit, then placed the thermometer under Jessamine's armpit. After a while, he took it out and saw it read 102.4 degrees Fahrenheit—a concerningly high temperature.He quickly dialed Erik's number again."Dr. Fisher, her temperature has risen to 102.4 degrees, and she has a sore throat and hoarse voice. Plus, she feels weak and has no appetite. Please come over right now."He felt that it was difficult to explain over the phone, so it would be better to have Erik come over."Mr. Holt, do you have any fever-reducing medicine at home? Take some ibuprofen first. I'll be there right away.""Dr. Fisher, we're at Jardin Estate.""Understood."After hanging up, Thaddeus quickly took out some ibuprofen from the medicine box. He squeezed out a pill into Jessamine's hand, handed her the prepared warm water, and watched her take the pill and lie down.After that, he started pacing back and forth, muttering nonstop. "Is Dr. Fisher taking a stage

"Thaddeus?" Out of nowhere, Jessamine called out to Thaddeus.He looked down at her. "Hm?""Don't you have any other dirt on Colin? Why not reveal it all at once?"Thaddeus snapped back to reality and realized the movie had already ended. No wonder she had time to chat with him."There's not much else. Everything seems insignificant compared to him embezzling a huge amount of public funds. When I was in the visitation room, I was just trying to scare him."There was a hint of disappointment in Jessamine's eyes. "I thought you really had some dirt that could get Colin a heavier sentence. You sounded so convincing when you talked about it in the visiting room."Thaddeus paused for a moment. "I'm afraid he won't tell the truth, so I had to use this to scare him. In reality, my story has quite a few holes, and he was probably just stunned for a moment. Once he has time to think about it, he'll figure it out.""Do you know the people he mentioned at the dinner?"Thaddeus was recount

Sasha swallowed her anger, not wanting to argue with Sophia. Speaking with her would only give Sophia more reason to broadcast the incident. In such a situation, her own position would only become more precarious."It's none of your business. Stay out of it."Sophia was not an easy person to deal with. She had a knack for bringing up the most inconvenient topics at the worst times."It looks like your legs have gotten some muscle. Have you been using the sewing machine? How's your sewing skills now? I just bought a pair of pants that are a bit too long, and I was wondering if you could help me with hemming them, Ms. Sasha."Sasha rarely found herself in awkward situations. Usually, in these settings, she was surrounded by people who would flatter and fawn over her. "Are you crazy?"Then, Sasha looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. Frustrated, she cursed under her breath and stormed off.Sophia sipped her champagne while Corvus hurriedly came up to her fro

On the other side, Jessamine was chatting with Sophia when someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind.Jessamine turned around and saw Hayden's youthful face right in front of her. Today, he was dressed more casually, giving off a clean vibe.After Hayden called her "Jessie" on the plane, he no longer wanted to call her "Ms. Patton"."Jessie, didn't we agree that you would call me when you arrived so I could pick you up? Did you forget my number?"Jessamine explained, "No, there were servants outside to guide the way. Since I wouldn't get lost anyway, I didn't want to trouble you."Hayden ran a hand through his hair. "It's no trouble at all. I've even been waiting for your message. My yard is quite spacious, and it's pretty boring around here. Would you like me to take you out for a walk?"Sophia and Hayden used to be classmates for a few years. She stood quietly to the side, watching him chat up Jessamine and ignore her.She looked at Hayden's eagerness and couldn't help bu

Hayden gave out a subtle smirk. "It's parked in the garage nearby. Do you want to check it out?""Let's go."It wasn't Hayden's car Thaddeus was interested in. He simply wanted to give Hayden a stern lecture in private.The two of them left almost immediately. Jessamine wasn't interested in the car either; she was feeling a little hungry and wanted to find something to eat."You guys go ahead. I'll go in first."The moment Jessamine walked in, Thaddeus pulled Hayden aside and grabbed him by his hair."So, you've grown some guts huh, staring at my woman?"Hayden was defiant. Since Thaddeus had made things ugly, there was no reason for him to play nice."What are you talking about? Your woman? Did she marry you? Why would someone as outstanding as Jessamine marry an old guy like you?"Thaddeus felt insulted by the term "old guy". His hawk-like eyes stared down intensely at the ungrateful Hayden. He couldn't believe that the young lad who used to follow him around had just gone
