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. "HJessica 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 in LA all knew that Bailey, Olivia, and their circle didn't get along with Lena. To deal with Jessica tonight, Olivia and the others had actually worked with Lena. Jessica felt quite surprised since she was the reason why the old foes became allies. Jessica was also quite amused by their stupidity. Did they really think Jessica couldn't track them down if they found someone irrelevant to play the perpetrator? Jessica found it funny. "What dress did they prepare?" When it came to dresses, Hannah was even angrier. "Olivia and the others are too vicious. They did something to the dress, and the stitches were all cut. As long as you change into the dress and walk a few steps, the dress will split open! They want you to embarrass yourself here!" If a dress was cracked at the party, it was more than just embarrassing. If Jessica did fall into their trap tonight, then the Hall family would be brought up as a joke in the upper—class
Hari felt a little guilty when Terry gazed at him. At the same time, Terry had lost track of Jessica. Terry thought that he couldn't locate Jessica in a short time. He had done what he wanted to do anyway. Terry wanted to find an excuse to leave when he heard two screams. Jessica thought that the show would start later, but she didn't expect them to be so impatient. The person who splashed Jessica red wine was Lena. Before Jessica could react, Lena had already screamed. Lena kept apologizing to Jessica. "I'm sorry, Miss Hall. I didn't see it just now! I really didn't see you! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Your dress ... I'll take you to change into another dress." Lena's apology was so sincere that even Jessica was embarrassed to turn her down. Jessica raised her eyebrows and looked at Hannah, who was not far away. She smiled and said, "Okay." Seeing Jessica agree, Lena quickly took Jessica to change her dress. Along the way, she went on ap
Jessica, who was standing on the other side of the venue, looked at Olivia, who was coming over. She smiled and whispered, "Three, two, one..." With that, Olivia, who was walking toward Jessica, stopped stiffly. The back of Olivia's dress cracked open. Bailey tried hard to pull the two pieces on Olivia's back together. Yet the other part split up faster as Bailey pulled it. With a light snap, Olivia's dress fell to the ground like a piece of cloth. It happened too fast. Olivia and Bailey didn't have time to respond. Even Hannah, who had already known what would happen next, didn't expect the dress to split so instantly. This scene shocked everyone in the venue. The party suddenly became a mess. Olivia and Bailey were in a hurry. They hurried to block Olivia. Yet Olivia's dress broke into so many pieces. The dress had turned into a bunch of rags. The connection between the waist part and the hem broke at once. Without t
It all happened in an instant. When Lucas had learned about what happened to Olivia, she had already been crying for quite a while in the lounge. The guests at the banquet today were all celebrities in the upper—class society of LA. They were business partners as well as acquaintances that also met each other at all kinds of parties. Thus, they naturally knew one thing or two about what Miss Thomas was like. Besides, how could a dress that was worth tens of thousands of dollars get cracked up so thoroughly? When Lucas heard it from Vincent, his face darkened. Hari didn't know what to do to help out Olivia, who seemed to be making a fool of herself all the time. Given Lucas' terrible mood, Hari chose to remain silent. Hari followed Lucas into the lounge. Olivia had changed into a new dress at this time, but she still had not calmed down. She was still sitting there and crying. She was so embarrassed today. When Bailey saw Lucas
