The folder was forcefully pushed back into Jessamine's hands again.How had four years turned him from an icy CEO into such a shameless man? Time truly was a miraculous thing."So you're giving all this to me and still have money left for yourself?" she asked.Thaddeus chuckled. "In addition to working for you these past four years, I've had other side businesses, too. My income is still decent. Of course, if it makes you happy, you can give me some pocket money."Jessamine felt her scalp tingling from his words. Despite their divorced status, the way he spoke made them sound like an affectionate couple. He even had the audacity to ask for pocket money. His shamelessness was beyond words. Jessamine suspected Jordan had given him some lessons."Um... keep the money. I don't need it. Leave the other properties for your child."Thaddeus's expression turned grim. He knew she cared about Amy's child. "Jessie, I don't have a child!"Jessamine turned her face away without saying a wo
Thaddeus tentatively asked, "Can I just turn around while you change?"Jessamine was speechless. Where had his dignity gone? He seemed like a completely different person now, as if he had been possessed. Where was the icy CEO?"How about I poke your eyes out first?"Thaddeus obediently stepped out upon hearing this.Jessamine took out the dress, noticing its high-quality fabric and design without a logo. However, she found a golden mango logo on the lining and instantly understood.This was a couture piece by Graham Brown, a renowned designer. As far as she knew, it usually took at least three months to make an appointment with Graham Brown. The fact that Thaddeus casually brought this dress showed it wasn't custom-made recently.Jessamine held the dress in her hands, conflicted. She didn't want to wear clothes he prepared for other women, but she had no choice. Right now, it was either this dress or continuing to wear the hospital gown. After much internal debate, she deci
Jessamine stepped out of the room and took a few steps before remembering the dress she was wearing. She stopped and asked, "How much is this dress? I'll pay you back later."Thaddeus's lips trembled. "Jess, this dress was originally prepared for you. There are many more in the house. If you like this style, you can wear a different one every day.""No, thank you," Jessamine politely declined. Thaddeus had no credibility in her eyes now. She had chosen to believe him countless times in the past, only to be disappointed every time. After hearing countless stories of the boy who cried wolf, she had become one of the villagers and no longer easily believed anything he said.She didn't believe his claim that the dress was prepared for her.After Jessamine left, Thaddeus felt troubled for some time. He knew he had a lot to do next. He needed to prove through actions that he had truly turned over a new leaf, that he was earnestly pursuing her and seeking her forgiveness.Jordan's
The bodyguards immediately went to untie the rope. Once the man was free, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and stretched his muscles. Just as everyone thought he was about to say something, he suddenly lunged at Thaddeus with a dagger.It turned out he had been prepared all along. He intended to deceive Thaddeus into coming over, planning to end his life with Thaddeus.However, he underestimated the reaction speed of the bodyguards. Two bodyguards restrained him before he could get close to Thaddeus.The short dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.His plan failed. At that moment, he broke down. His eyes turned bloodshot as he cursed loudly and struggled to move forward, kicking in the air trying to fight Thaddeus."Thaddeus, you killed my son! I won't let you off even if I die!" He shouted furiously.Thaddeus casually sat down on a clean chair. He looked relaxed, displaying the demeanor of a superior."Are you nut? Although I'm not a good person, I've
The incident with Amy had been a knot in his heart. There were countless times he dreamed about it and woke up drenched in sweat, haunted by images of himself kneeling before his grandfather to accept punishment, or kneeling at Jessamine's grave to confess.He deeply regretted drinking at Amy's place. Or else, that silly incident would not happen. After that incident, he never dared to drink too much at gatherings as long as women were present.Now, hearing from this man's mouth that all of that was fabricated by Amy and it was all her trap, that he had never touched that crazy woman. He was innocent and pure.Thaddeus felt relieved as if a fraction of his guilt had been lifted.When the man saw Thaddeus show no sign of furious and didn't care about being cheated on, he thought that Thaddeus was indeed not a normal man."Thaddeus, say something. How does it feel to be cheated on? Your woman begged for my favor countless times. Did you find it exciting?" The man asked.Thaddeus el
He would recognize that woman even if she turned to ashes. His child's death was still related to her. Why should her child be born safely?He wandered around Hajera for a few days yet was still unable to quell his anger. Hence, he went to the black market and bought the cheapest timed bomb, hoping to take that woman's life.Hearing Thaddeus' words, he had no idea that his two children were living healthy lives in this world and thought that they had never been born at all.He couldn't help but feel sorry for Thaddeus, who was caught between two women and couldn't get wholehearted devotion from either. He was even worse off than himself, a man whom Amy sought out. At least he had enjoyed ultimate pleasure with her.People of his status also faced hardships in life. Perhaps Thaddeus would never meet his children in the future. It was karma.Thinking of this, Hank grinned ferociously.While Thaddeus was happy, he still had to revenge. He wasn't so excited that he forgot it was this
Jessamine saw Xander's car in front of her and got in. She was really worried that the two children would cause trouble when she wasn't with them."Xander, has Lucas and Layla caused any trouble last night?" Xander scanned her over and was relieved to find that she seemed fine and had no obvious injuries. "The two kids fell asleep while waiting for you to come home. What happened to you yesterday? Why didn't you call me?" Jessamine sighed, "I encountered some danger after work yesterday, but it was a false alarm, everything's fine.""You didn't get hurt, did you?" Xander asked. Jessamine shook her head and tucked the strands of hair behind her ear. "I just swallowed some seawater yesterday. The hospital suggested staying for observation for a day, so I was admitted for a day."Xander became nervous. It wasn't easy for him to find his sister back. She was precious to Gloria. Gloria wouldn't be able to handle it if something bad happened to her again. "Can you be discharged
Jessamine nodded, "Yes."Lucas pushed his luck and asked, "Mommy, can you help me ask for leave every day?"Jessamine became serious. She was a little worried about this son of hers. He always had endless mischievous ideas in his head, and they never knew what he was planning. He wasn't as obedient as Layla. How could it be okay for him to dislike studying at such a young age?"Lucas, Mommy is giving you and your sister leave due to special circumstances. After this period, you still have to go to school."Lucas responded disappointedly, left the dining table and went to tinker with his robots.After having a little food with Layla, Jessamine took the document given by Thaddeus back to her room. It was too dark last night to see clearly, but there was actually a stack of property deeds in the bag, bulging the folder.He was serious about it.Jessamine put the things away. She needed to buy a new phone. The company was just starting, and there were a bunch of things waiting for h
