Jessica felt there was no need for her to greet Lucas.
She didn't hate Lucas now, but it was impossible for her not to resent him a little. She thought she had already done a great job to restrain herself from turning a blind eye to him. Jessica felt that she was polite to Lucas. But this was only her thought, and it did not mean Lucas was thinking the same way. Looking at Lucas, who was walking towards her step by step, Jessica subconsciously frowned. "Mr. Thomas, you'd better not come over. I don't want to hear anything about the love and hate relationship between you and me." When Jessica said this, there was no smile on her face. Only coldness dominated her eyes. When Lucas looked over, he even saw a hint of impatience flashing through Jessica's eyes. Jessica's gaze instantly tore a hole in his heart. In an instant, all of his suppressed emotions burst out. "Are you in love with Terry now?" Jessica looked at him, fJessica was stunned. In the next second, she was pulled into Terry's arms. She was instantly overwhelmed by Terry's body smell. Jessica raised her head and looked at him. "He's just too cruel, Terry." When Jessica said this, she gritted her teeth and trembled a lot. Looking at her trembling eyelashes, Terry raised his hand to press the back of her head into his arms. "Then you can feel safe with me. My heart is soft. If you don't believe me, you can get into it and take a look." Jessica was in Terry's arms. Her face pressed so close against his chest that she could even hear his steady heartbeat. Jessica gradually calmed down. After Jessica came to her senses, she pushed Terry away. "Thank you." "If you want to thank me..." Terry curled his lips and didn't finish his sentence. Jessica tilted her head to look at him. "How about treating you to a meal next time, Mr. Davison?" Jessica smiled again. "I have a meeting this
After Justin finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Dwayne. Dwayne placed the card he had prepared on the table. Justin looked at Trissy and said, "You are a smart girl. Here is ten million dollars, enough for your sister to live for a while. Be sensible. Take the money and you are still the recognized daughter—in—law of the Thomas family." Justin stood up and left after he finished speaking. Justin came and left quickly. In less than five minutes, the two sisters, Luna and Trissy, were left alone in the ward. "Trissy, what should we do now?" Trissy's mind was also a mess. She looked at the card on the table. Ten million dollars was just a drop in the bucket for the Thomas family. The old bastard Justin wanted to drive the Cheek sisters away, but he was reluctant to pay. However, Trissy also knew that it would be even harder for Luna to marry into the Thomas family now. Justin's last line was also vi
When Jessica arrived at LURE, it was only eight o'clock in the evening. There were not many people in the bar, but the music was too loud. Jessica frowned the moment she entered. Hannah was sitting and waving to Jessica from afar when she saw her. "Jess, come here!" Jessica looked back at Terry. "Mr. Davison, why don't you play by yourself?" Terry peered at her. "Do you treat me as your driver? How could you send me away when I'm no longer useful?" Jessica smiled. "I'm just afraid that you'll be bored with me." As soon as she finished speaking, Terry suddenly leaned over almost to her ear. "How could that be possible? Miss Hall is my target only." Though the music was loud, Jessica heard Terry's every word. Jessica didn't reply and walked toward Hannah. Hannah gave Terry an unfathomable glance when she saw him. "What a coincidence. Mr. David, you're here too." Terry smiled casually. "It's not a coincidence. I'm here wi
Hari remembered that the story was about how a girl loved a boy, but it was a crush, so the male protagonist didn't know he was loved by a girl. When he met Lucas this afternoon, he happened to see the picture in his car and remembered the story in this magazine instantly. When Hari came across Hannah in the afternoon, the idea popped into his mind. He wanted to judge through Jessica's reaction whether the author of the story, Cynthia, was Jessica. After Jessica got into the car, she glanced at Terry and asked, "Is Mr. Davison very curious?" Terry smiled, "What does he feel curious about?" "Who is that Cynthia? And whether I'm Cynthia." As they were talking, the traffic light turned red. Terry stopped the car slowly and turned his head to look at Jessica. "Is it important to you?" Jessica didn't expect his question. Suddenly, she smiled. "It's not important." As soon as she finished speaking, Terry said again. "I'm more curious about wh
Hari couldn't finish speaking, Lucas hung up on him, so he had just driven the car to Lucas' apartment. Hari couldn't get it over, so he directly drove over here to find Lucas. Of course, Hari went back home first to bring the magazine with him. He planned to directly compare the magazine with the painting in Lucas' hand. Hari walked straight out of the elevator and knocked on Lucas' door. Hearing the knock, Lucas walked over with a cold face and opened the door. "Are you free?" When Hari heard this, he was unhappy. "If you hadn't suddenly hung up on me, I wouldn't have come here to bother you in the middle of the night!" Lucas sneered, "What's it?" Hari glanced inside the room and wanted to enter, but Lucas had no intention of letting him in. "What could be the harm if you let me in?" Lucas looked at him without moving his eyes. "I don't welcome you." "I..." Hari decided not to argue with Luca. "H
Jessica woke up early in the morning. The rain didn't stop since last night and the sky outside the window was very dark. She opened a bit of the balcony door and the cold wind blew in. Today was the auction day for land in the north of LA. Jessica had done a lot to prepare for this land in the past two months. Today, she was determined to win. She had a good sleep last night, so she felt much better when she woke up today. Jessica took some time to put on delicate makeup, a long dress shirt, and a camel trench coat outside. She also wore a pair of 10—centimeter high heels. Wendy also changed her skirt today. When Jessica and Wendy entered the hall in high heels, they looked stunningly glamorous so that they attracted many people's attention. Hari was here to have fun. Ever since he heard that Jessica was interested in this land, he had been looking forward to this day. Derek knew how much Jessica resented Lucas. As one of Luc
Derek raised his eyebrows and gestured for Jessica to continue. "Mr. Fairbank, please tell Mr. Thomas that I have plenty of money. If he wants to squander his money on me, I would love to accept it. We're even now. For the sake of Mr. Thomas being so generous, I won't pick on Luna." After Jessica finished speaking, she turned around and walked toward the trading area. Derek looked at Jessica's back, and the look in his eyes changed. Hari was confused. He had heard everything Jessica said. In fact, he understood every word, but he felt puzzled by the overall meaning. "What is Jessica talking about? When did Lucas send her tens of millions?" Derek took a glance at Hari and then walked out. In the meantime, Derek said, "Lucas called me this morning." When Derek received the call from Lucas, he was indeed a little surprised. Lucas had never been a person who would spend money on a beautiful woman, but when he called this morning, he sai
Lucas thought the same. But after he hung up the phone, Lucas looked at Jessica's sketch and felt somewhat frustrated. Lucas frowned and was just about to light a cigarette to relieve his frustration when Vincent knocked on the door and entered. Lucas withdrew his hand and looked up at Vincent. "What's the matter?" "Mr. Thomas, the trending topic about Miss Cheek has been removed. The recording Miss Hall posted and Miss Hall's tweet have been deleted as well." Lucas paused a bit. That was rare. He pinched the lighter without noticing and the flames burned to his fingertips, causing his fingers to tremble slightly. After Jessica asked Hannah to remove the trending topic, she also deleted her tweet. The whole thing then slowly calmed down. Jessica won the piece of land in the north of LA without exceeding the budget. Even Morgan called to praise Jessica, and Megan dared not to say anything. Then, Jessica became a real celebrity in the
Foster originally thought that his memory would never fully recover for the rest of his life, but a car accident in the third year after immigrating made him go through the gates of death again, but also returned all of his lost memories.Samuel was taken aback for a moment when he saw the look in her eyes and said, "Don't tell me you've lost your memory again."There were many wounds on his body. Foster tried to get up, but he found himself very heavy.Upon seeing the situation, Samuel also became afraid and quickly spoke, "Don't move, we finally got out of the ICU, don't go back again."Foster did not move anymore, he turned his head and looked outside the window of the ward.The weather today was very nice, just like the day eight years ago when he left.That day, he left carrying a family grudge, thinking that Hannah was just an accident.Eight years later, their revenge had been avenged, and Hannah had long since married.
On the day of Gemma's seventh birthday, Hannah and Kendall went to the park and set up a tent. They invited Georgia and brought a small grill. The three of them had a pleasant afternoon.Georgia also realized at that time that Gemma had actually been looking forward to going camping with them in a couple of days when she left.Today, we went camping, which fulfilled Gemma's unfinished wish.Gemma left, and the rest of the people had to continue living their lives.Kendall had originally taken a vacation for over a month, intending to return to the company only after the two of them got married and officially ended their leave.Now Gemma couldn't wait for his and Hannah's wedding, so he left. There was still nearly a month left, and Kendall asked Hannah to stay with Georgia on the South side for a while, as he was going abroad.He went abroad to meet the senior executives of the Harrington Group, who had been overseas all along. After that, h
After the cremation was completed, the staff asked Kendall to pick up the bones.Without waiting for Kendall to speak, she immediately refused.She couldn't understand this twisted "service". The loss of a loved one is already enough to make people feel desperate and miserable, and after cremation, they actually make people go and pick up the bones.Even though it was just symbolically picking one or two, it still remained incomprehensible.This was simply cruel and incomprehensible.The people in charge of the cemetery burial had already made arrangements. After leaving the funeral home, the group followed the car to the cemetery.The location of Gemma's grave was very good, and the photo on the tombstone showed her in her thirties, looking young, elegant, and beautiful.The urn was placed inside, the tomb was buried, and everything came to a complete end here.Hannah looked up at the distant sky with red eyes.The weat
Hannah really had no appetite and couldn't continue eating after a few bites.She lowered her head and drank the chicken soup that Gemma had specially instructed the aunt to stew before leaving. Tears fell directly into the soup.In fact, there wasn't much deep emotion between her and Gemma, but during this time, listening to her talk about many childhood things, now that she's gone, this sudden blow has made Hannah unable to bear it.She lowered her head, trying hard to calm her emotions, but the more she tried, the more uncomfortable she felt.Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and got up to go to the bathroom.Hannah stayed in the bathroom for a while before she came out.At that time, Georgia and Jaylen also came over.The sky had already turned completely dark when Georgia and Jaylen stepped in, guided by the moonlight."Where was your mother?"Georgia looked relatively calm and, looking at Kendall, asked a quest
Kendall quickly bought everything and brought it back.Recently, Gemma actually couldn't eat much. She relied on nutrient fluids and some soup to maintain the most basic nutrition.She was rare in the mood to eat something at the moment, although she didn't eat much, she tried a little bit of everything."This sausage isn't that delicious, why do so many children like to eat it?"Gemma was particularly puzzled. It smelled quite fragrant, but when she tasted it, it was really average.Hannah smiled and said, "Probably because parents didn't allow us to eat it often, so it tasted better.""Hannah's point does make some sense,"She said, sighing, "In fact, that's just how people are, no matter who they are or how old they are, there's always a bit of rebellion. The more others try to stop you from doing something, the more you want to do it."And she herself, wasn't she like this too?The group of people started walking bac
After Kendall returned to the South town, Gemma visibly became much happier.Kendall had everything arranged for work. After returning from this vacation, unless there was a necessary emergency, he wouldn't even answer a work phone call.Every day, Hannah and I would go to Gemma's place for meals. In the evening, when the sun was setting, the two of us would push Gemma for a walk outside the villa.Blaine did come to see Gemma once, probably after her serious illness. Gemma also let go of a lot and didn't feel the same way about Blaine as before.After so many years since their divorce, this is the first time they sat down to have a proper conversation.After Konnor's death, Kendall was unwilling to inherit everything from the Hawthorne family, but the shares he returned did not fall into his hands, nor did they fall into Jeffrey's hands.Nowadays, Jeffrey is just a nobody.Blaine's days were looking bright, but all was in Kendall's h
Kendall knew that he couldn't argue with Hannah, and if they continued to argue, they would definitely fight.He didn't speak anymore, took a few sips of hot drink, and then closed his eyes to take a nap.He didn't really have a good rest during this period of time. In order to rush over, he had been working overtime for five consecutive nights.The carriage was quiet with no one speaking. After the train got on the expressway, Hannah glanced at Kendall beside her.The person had already fallen asleep.She curled her lips slightly, knowing that this person was stubborn.Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the parking lot.Hannah drove the car well, while Kendall showed no signs of waking up.She took out her phone, checked the time, and it was already past eleven.Although Kendall was sleeping soundly, she didn't want to wake the person up, but she couldn't let him sleep in the car all the time, could she?Ha
Gemma woke up for the second time, and she stayed awake for a little longer, but not for too long. She managed to stay awake for about twenty minutes before falling asleep again.Hannah and Kendall stayed at the hospital until after 8 o'clock in the evening, when Gemma woke up again.When she woke up this time, she was feeling better, although she still couldn't speak very fluently, but much better than during the day.In the evening, Georgia brought dinner over, along with some soup.Kendall fed Gemma half a bowl of chicken soup and had a conversation with her before they left the hospital.It was very dark, and the two of them had already arrived home at nine o'clock.Hannah remembered Kendall's plan to return to LA tomorrow and couldn't help but ask, "What time is your flight tomorrow?""Around 7 o'clock in the morning, a bit early, I drove directly to the airport.""Okay."She took the cup from his hand and lowered h
When Hannah woke up, Kendall was already not in bed.Although I slept for a while, I didn't sleep well last night, and it is difficult to make up for it with a nap during the day.As soon as she got up, Hannah felt a bit dizzy. She picked up the phone beside her and realized it was already past twelve o'clock.She and Kendall didn't get home until 8 o'clock, and they only slept for four hours.I don't know how long Kendall slept.She sat on the bed for a while, and only got up and left the room after she woke up.Walking into the living room, Hannah saw Kendall on the phone.She took a glance, didn't walk over, and went to the countertop of the open kitchen to pour herself a glass of water. While drinking, she messaged Georgia, asking about Gemma's current situation that day.The message had been sent for a while, but Georgia did not reply.She had just looked up when Kendall had finished the call.The two of them
