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 theOlivia 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
Jessica did not expect Lucas to ask that. She subconsciously denied it. "No." "But that illustration." Lucas paused, he realized that his previous attitude might have made Jessica get him wrong. Lucas then softened his tone and went on, "Don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that the illustration looks similar to the portrait of me you drew." "Mr. Thomas, have you read that story? That story is about a 14—year—old schoolgirl falling in love with a high school boy. It had nothing to do with our marriage," Jessica said calmly. "Then why are the two pictures so similar?" Lucas asked again. Jessica raised an eyebrow. She did not expect Lucas to see the subtle similarities in the two pictures. She looked up at Lucas. Jessica knew that Lucas could see her through once she hedged. "It's OK for you to deny it. I'm just asking. Don't mind me." Lucas didn't push Jessica. "Since you have already had an answer, why did you even
The next day after the banquet, the news of Olivia making a fool of herself at the banquet spread throughout the upper—class society of LA. Justin soon found out about what had happened. As the head of the Thomas family, he could not stand the fact that the Thomas family had become a laughing stock. Olivia had to face the mockery from those socialites and Justin's anger at the same time. "If it doesn't go off the trending topic, your grandpa would look into it," Bailey, who was grounded at home, said to Olivia on the phone. Bailey paused for a moment and then continued, "If only something more eye—catching would happen now. Then no one would pay attention to you." Olivia, who had hung up the phone, thought about Bailey's words carefully. Finally, she gritted her teeth and made a call. Ever since Megan found out about Jessica's identity, he didn't pick on Jessica anymore. Thus, Jessica's work at the LA branch had been quite smoo
Hannah was dumbfounded by Jessica's words. She looked at Jessica and asked, "Not Lucas? Then who?" If Lucas hadn't done that, that meant Hannah had done two things wrong. Yet Hannah decided not to haggle over it. Lucas was unarguably a bastard. He deserved the lesson. Hannah comforted herself that way. Jessica shook her head slightly. She had an answer in her heart, but before Wendy's investigation results came out, she did not want to say it. Jessica looked at Hannah and sighed. "You're still so impulsive." "When I heard Mr. Davison say it, I was so angry that I couldn't hold it in for a moment." Hannah also felt that she was a little reckless and stuck out her tongue. After Hannah left, Vincent could only grimace as he looked at the ornaments that Hannah had broken on the ground. Miss Howell did have a temper. Lucas sat in front of his desk as if he was unaware of the mess around him. Lucas was still reviewing Hannah
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
Hannah and Kendall returned to the villa late in the evening, feeling hungry and impatient as the takeaway they had ordered in advance had not arrived yet. They also got wet when they rushed inside."Go take a shower first."Kendall handed her a cup of warm water and gestured for her to go upstairs.The rain was pouring heavily, and it was still pitter-pattering down at the moment. Hannah also felt a bit cold.She drank a few sips of water, then she put down the cup and went upstairs to change clothes and take a shower.Hannah was both hungry and cold, so she took a hot shower and then went downstairs.Kendall just came in with an umbrella, carrying takeout. "You go ahead and eat, I'll go upstairs and change into a fresh set of clothes."Hannah walked over to the dining table and sat down, watching him take out and arrange everything.Kendall placed the chicken soup in front of her, "Drink the soup first, so it doesn't get cold
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
