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
Everyone had been busy all morning and was actually quite tired. After finishing lunch, two guest rooms were cleared out for the lady to rest, while the man made do with resting on the sofa in the living room.Everyone was tired, at first some people were chatting, but as they chatted, everyone fell asleep.It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that the spacious living room gradually began to fill with voices.Kendall woke Hannah up and asked her to change her clothes, then they started walking towards the hotel.The wedding started at 7 o'clock in the evening. Hannah went to the hotel to change her clothes and makeup, and then she and Kendall greeted the guests at the entrance.At half past six, Hannah went back to change her wedding dress.At seven o'clock, the wedding began.Hannah was led by Jaylen to the back door of the banquet hall, and as the front door was opened, the enchanting and beautiful wedding decoration
Hannah looked up at him and struggled to hold back her tears.After Eden put her in the car, closed the car door, took two steps back, and stood beside Georgia, they watched her.The car windows were wide open, and Hannah looked at her parents from inside the car. She had always believed that she wouldn't cry on a day like this, but her eyes turned red in an instant.I don't know why, even though it wasn't a long-distance marriage, Kendall and she were childhood sweethearts who knew each other inside out, but she still felt a bit melancholic.Maybe it's because after getting married, one would have two additional identities.However, Gemma has already passed away, and the mother-in-law relationship was completely non-existent for her.In the morning, Hannah was talking about Georgia, who had shallow eye sockets. Now, her eyes are also red, and she is wiping the tears from her eye sockets with a tissue.The scene was actually quite liv
Kendall saw Hannah nod and had already locked in four numbers.He pursed his lips and said, "Is it related to my birthday?"Hannah nodded again, and the only common number between their two birthdays was 2.Kendall did not ask the third question and directly gave the answer: 2.Mona laughed and said, "You guessed pretty accurately."Hannah drew another card, the questions could not be repeated, the two questions from earlier could not be asked again.But this didn't pose a challenge for Kendall, as he directly asked Hannah if the cards in her hand were unrelated to today's date.Today is October 17th, and he was able to eliminate three numbers all at once. If he was lucky, the answer would be among these three numbers.Hannah's expression changed, she pursed her lips, and then she spoke, "No."Kendall, however, suddenly laughed and said, "It was 7."The groom's confident words made the groomsmen behind him feel sk
The members of the groom's party were eager for a quick resolution, and their first question was how many red envelopes it would take to open this door.If the gatekeeper was someone else, maybe the other person could have easily unlocked the gate by adding a few more codes.But the gatekeeper was Jessica, no matter how many red envelopes were handed to her, she remained unmoved.Finally, the people outside had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Ms. Hall, just tell us, how can we open this door today!"Jessica curved her lips and said slowly, "Simple, let Kendall speak."As soon as she finished speaking, Kendall outside the door spoke up, "What do you want?""I had no demands, I asked you three questions, and if your answers satisfied me, I would open the door and let you in.""You asked."Kendall was determined to open this door. Even if Jessica had asked three questions, or even thirty questions, he wouldn't have minded.
Hannah rarely had insomnia, and she didn't fall asleep until almost 2 o'clock in the morning after lying down around ten o'clock.The next day, before six o'clock, Georgia woke me up. Her eyes couldn't open, and she kept yawning as she opened the door.Georgia was very puzzled when she saw her like this, "I let you go to bed before ten o'clock last night, why are you still so tired?"Hannah raised her hand and yawned, feeling guilty: "I went to bed after 11 o'clock, and I even woke up in the middle."Georgia sighed and said, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth, the makeup artist has arrived."Hannah was pushed into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror for a while before she started washing her face and brushing her teeth.Cold water splashed onto her face, and after coming out of the bathroom, she felt much more awake, but the drowsiness was still irresistible.The makeup artist and cameraman had arrived, and they were ju
After saying that, Hannah only realized that her words were a bit straightforward.Her face grew hot and she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Shall we go to the cemetery this afternoon?"Kendall looked at her for a while before speaking, "Okay."Hannah was pregnant, so naturally she had to tell Gemma.If it had been discovered earlier, Gemma might have known about Hannah's pregnancy.But in this world, many things do not have "ifs". Some things just cannot be perfect.After the two of them had lunch at the Howell family, Hannah took a nap and then they left around two o'clock to go to the bridal shop to have the size altered.Afterwards, Hannah went to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of peonies, and she went to Western Cemetery with Kendall.After Gemma passed away, Kendall's grandfather had originally planned to take her back to their hometown for burial, considering that Gemma had spent her whole life trapped within
Hannah was held by him for a while and felt a bit hot. Unable to resist, she pushed him lightly and said, "It's a bit hot."Upon hearing her words, Kendall placed her back on the bed and asked, "Did you tell Jaylen and them?"Hannah shook her head and said, "No, you're the dad, so of course I have to tell you first."She said, pausing for a moment, "I will tell them at dinner tonight.""Okay."Kendall looked down at her belly, but this month she didn't show at all, and there was nothing to see.He looked for a while and then said, "Go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."Hannah thought the same way, she didn't even know how long she had been pregnant.If we count from the last menstrual period, she has been pregnant for at least two months.In the past two months, she didn't feel anything at all.Hannah nodded and suddenly felt a bit tired, opening her mouth and yawning.Seeing her like this, Kendall g
Kendall glanced at her sideways and said, "Isn't it obvious?"Hannah, of course, knew that he was looking at her, but she just wanted to ask and confirm."This photographer was quite good at taking photos."Kendall's gaze was quite affectionate.She looked at the photo for a while again, and then happily put it down and looked at other photos.However, there was only one photo that was captured so well, the rest were mostly intentionally posed and the outcome was good.Hannah had been flipping through hundreds of photos for over three hours when Kendall finally took the album from her hands and forcefully carried her away, saying, "Go take a shower, if you don't shower now, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow."Hannah hooked her arm around his neck, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him. "Don't you like the photo? Why aren't you looking at it?""There was plenty of time to take a slow look later."Hannah clicked her ton
Hannah was really happy today. The news of Gemma's passing had been affecting her and Kendall's mood these past few days.When I returned to the company today, I learned that we had signed such a big project. Naturally, everyone was happy no matter who it was.During the dinner, Hannah drank a bottle of beer and couldn't drive back home, so she had to ask Kendall to come and pick her up.More than two months ago, she and Kendall announced their marriage by sending out wedding candies, and everyone knew about the wedding.However, many people in the company had never seen what Kendall looked like. After the dinner, they all gossiped and stood on the roadside, waiting for someone to show up.Hannah rarely felt embarrassed, "Why don't you go back? It's already late, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow.""Ms. Howell, rest assured, I set more than ten alarms. It was absolutely impossible for me to be late for work!""Was Ms. Howell worri
