Jessica 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 thisAfter 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
Olivia looked at Jessica, who was not far away. That Klein blue color was indeed very eye—catching in the crowd. She only glanced over and caught sight of Jessica at once! The more Olivia thought about it, the angrier she felt. "What do you have in mind?" Bailey whispered to Olivia, "Don't worry. Jessica will never trace back to us." She then raised her eyebrows with contentment. When Olivia heard that, a vicious look flashed through her eyes. "Good! That's it! Bailey, go find someone!" "Olivia, don't worry. We can't be blamed for this. I have to find someone who has nothing to do with us!" Now that Jessica's identity was different from before, Olivia also knew that she could no longer afford to offend Jessica like before. The few of them lowered their voices and carefully discussed. On the other side of the venue, Hannah saw Terry coming over. She tossed a meaningful at Jessica. "Jessica, actually, Mr. Davison is quite nice. Why don
