Sasha raised her chin arrogantly. If Jessamine had been a bit nicer to her earlier, she might not have actually texted her brother to come.When he would arrive and see Amy's current state, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. If his mood soured, he wouldn't give her any pocket money.Sasha checked her account's balance on her phone. Last month, she had spent all the money she borrowed from her brother. Only a little was left that was subsidized by Heather. Her good friend's birthday was approaching, and with her status, it wouldn't be acceptable not to present a decent gift.Forget it. She would butter up her brother later and get some money from him.…Thaddeus smoked a cigarette downstairs. Messages from Benji kept coming in like haunting reminders."Come and support your wife. There are a few whiners here.""Darn it, why haven't you come yet? Your wife is being bullied. Do you still want to win her back?""Quickly take away your brainless sister. Does she have brain damag
How pitiful. How could a woman bear to watch her ex-husband dote on another woman so openly? Especially with so many people around. How would she face anyone in the future?All eyes converged on Thaddeus as he walked in that direction. But to everyone's disappointment, Thaddeus didn't even pause when he reached Amy's side. More precisely, he didn't even spare her a glance, walking past her toward this side.After a few seconds of surprise, everyone realized that Thaddeus was probably eager to deal with the person who bullied his girlfriend, so he walked straight over there. They felt even more sorry for Jessamine after thinking about this. They couldn't imagine how dreadful that must feel for a woman being publicly dealt with by a man.Thaddeus was completely unaware that he had become the focus of everyone's attention. As he approached, he stood directly beside Jessamine, wearing a warm smile on his face."Jessie, is everything going smoothly?"Jessamine lightly bit her lip and
Sasha was so angry that she didn't want to speak, but a few girlfriends began whispering among themselves."Why do I feel that Mr. Holt's gaze toward Ms. Patton is a bit different? It seems like he doesn't like Amy as Sasha said. Instead, I think it seems like he likes that Ms. Patton.""It's not a 'seems like.' His gaze can't deceive people. Didn't you hear how accommodating Mr. Holt was toward that woman just now?""But that woman has a child. Which man would accept a woman with a child? It's like raising someone else's son. He's become a father all of a sudden!""You shouldn't doubt it. Didn't you see how willing Mr. Holt was? He even bought clothes for Ms. Patton's son and had someone personally pick them out. Honestly, my dad has never bought me a piece of clothing.""Alas!"One of them sighed and said to Sasha again, "Sasha, I think your brother seems to want to be someone else's stepfather. Don't you think your brother is acting a bit like…"She wanted to say "like a desp
Parents from other families were always afraid that their own children wouldn't be happy. After all, who doesn't wish for harmony in their children's families? Now, when he recalled the past, it seemed like his own mother never did anything to support his family. Instead, she often caused trouble for him.Perhaps Jessamine didn't mind it much previously. If it were someone else, there would have been countless fights between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law by now.Sasha's eyes welled up with tears. "Ted, do you really want to stick with this woman? She's already had a child with another man. Why should we Holts raise someone else's child? Are you really that desperate for a woman? "If you're really desperate, Mom has introduced so many to you, so why don't you pick one? Grandpa may want great-grandchildren, but he doesn't want someone else's illegitimate child!"As soon as she finished speaking, Jessamine splashed a glass of wine at her. Just because she looked down on Sasha's b
Jessamine's palms were sweaty as she pushed through the crowd of people, quickly making her way to the center.When she saw the person lying on the ground, her whole body went numb.Amy lay on the ground, her face deathly pale, while someone performed CPR on her.Jessamine's earlier anxiety turned into a mix of complex emotions. She couldn't help but suspect that Amy was faking it. She closed her eyes and her eyelashes trembled.Playing dead or feigning illness was Amy's specialty. Her greatest skill was playing the role of a weak victim to garner sympathy and manipulate others.Jessamine couldn't help but turn around, and her gaze met with Thaddeus. She instinctively thought Thaddeus would be worried and rush forward first. However, there was no expression on Thaddeus' face, only a hint of amusement.After the friend who knew first aid had performed CPR on Amy for a while, he squatted on the ground, panting. He opened Amy's eyelids and checked her pulse. He didn't find any major
Jessamine coldly looked at Amy, who treated acting as a lifelong career, but deep down, her heart ached. Her heart disease was cured using her own mother's heart!Thaddeus detested Amy's attitude of constantly treating others like fools. Even at this moment, after settling all matters with her, where did she find the audacity to act?"Amy, I've said everything I needed to say to you. Stop with these petty tricks in front of me. It's truly disgusting. Also, since you've already had a heart transplant, stop harboring those filthy thoughts, and don't waste other's organs. "That's all there is between us. I've never liked you. There was only friendship between us before. It's you who insisted on tainting that friendship, so I can't accompany you any longer."Amy sat on the ground in a daze. The next moment, her entire body seemed to lose strength, slumping to the ground. Indeed, he had found out about everything.She was now speechless.The various deceptions she had made in the pas
Jessamine immediately thought of her mother, Elizabeth. She had been kind all her life and never made enemies. Every year, she would do charity work, donating countless sums to the Red Cross. But in the end, what had she received for her kindness? When she lay on the cold operating table and had her heart removed, did her soul ache?"Amy, your mother's fate was deserved. It's all karma!" Amy, now seemingly mad, grabbed her hair and cried, "My mother did everything for me. She was just an ordinary woman who loved her daughter. What did she do wrong to be framed by you demons?"Thaddeus felt Jessamine's hand trembling and realized she was struggling to control her emotions. He placed her hand in his and gave it a comforting squeeze.Sending Magaret to prison was his doing. However, it was to rid society of a menace, and he hadn't wrongly accused that madwoman."Amy, please, come to your senses. Margaret killed someone. The law won't fault an innocent person or let a guilty one go
"Excuse me, is there anyone in need of emergency assistance?" The colleague who had just made the call rushed over, pointing at Amy. "Doctor, it was this young lady who fainted just now, but she's awake now."The medical staff located Amy, who sat on the ground with disheveled hair, and walked over quickly. "Miss, do you feel unwell anywhere?"Amy was too absorbed in crying and choking on her tears to speak.Thaddeus answered for her, "Doctor, she's a bit emotionally distressed. As for other aspects, could you please examine her?"It was up to the doctor to decide whether or not she was faking it.The leading doctor squatted down and conducted a basic examination of Amy. Apart from her emotional distress, he didn't find any issues. His expression soured immediately."You should be cautious when calling emergency services. If there's nothing wrong, don't waste medical resources by making unnecessary calls. Ambulances rushed here, running through a dozen red lights, only to find
