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—classHari 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
With that, Olivia's face darkened. Dwayne looked at Olivia and asked, "Miss Thomas, what happened to you?" "Nothing, nothing. It's just that I'm not feeling so well now. I'll go back to my room." Olivia let out a tight laugh and quickly went upstairs to her room. Olivia patted her chest with her hand, and after calming down a little, she called Bailey. "Bailey, Jessica is coming to my home as a guest tomorrow. Do you think she has found out anything?" Olivia asked as soon as she got through the call. "Did anyone see you when you met Jerry?" Bailey asked after pausing for seconds. "No, I chose a restaurant which people of our kind won't choose," said Olivia as she recalled. "Then what are you afraid of? Maybe she just wants to beg for forgiveness after reading the harsh comments." Olivia thought Bailey made a fair point. She thus felt less worried. The next day, in the evening, the whole Thomas family were sitting at the table
When Jessica mentioned the name "Jerry," Olivia felt her heart racing with tension. She did not even dare to look at Justin. Lucas had not returned home from his work, and Rebecca knew nothing about what Olivia had done. For a moment, Olivia did not know who to ask for help. There was a mocking smile on Jessica's face as she looked at Olivia's pale face. The dining room suddenly fell into a strange silence. A servant came into the dining room with the appetizer, fried foie gras with garlic and basil, at that time. She then put it on the table. The fried foie gras emitted the fragrance of grease. Although Olivia had not had much that day because of her panic, she still acted as if she couldn't smell the fragrance of food in front of her at all. Justin had been running the Thomas Group for so many years, so he had understood that it was Olivia who made Jessica slandered by the netizens now. He was actually angry that Olivia always made things worse, but since Jessica was h
Julie looked up and said, "I will go and have a look."She turned around and ran over to Hannah's side, as she spoke.Just now, Hannah saw that there were crabs in the cage and curiously asked Jessica, "Will there be crabs in the cracks of these stones?"Julie hadn't really thought about it, but don't crabs usually like to hide in crevices in shallow water? So she casually replied, "Sure, if you want to catch one, go down and take a look for yourself."Hannah really rolled up her pants, went down the stream, and searched for crabs among the gaps in the rocks.The stream was clear, you could see to the bottom at a glance.Hannah didn't take long to find a crab. She was planning to catch it and show off to Jessica, but the crab ran too fast. She kept finding several others, but they all managed to escape.This time she saw a quite big one, and didn't want to let the crab just run away like that, so she shouted for Jessica.Julie
Hannah was curious about everything, so when she saw that bamboo house, she pulled Julie and asked her all sorts of questions.Terry walked alongside Morgan and May, both of whom were quite advanced in age. Although the mountain was not very high and not difficult to climb, it still required physical effort, and the two of them fell behind by quite a bit.When they arrived in front of the bamboo house, Jessica and Hannah were already not inside the bamboo house.Terry poured the leftover tea for May and Morgan and pointed to the door of the bamboo house, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, Jessica said that Mr. Garrison found her in front of this bamboo house."Upon hearing Terry's words, Morgan's hand holding the teacup trembled.He also didn't care about drinking water anymore, and got up and walked to the front of the bamboo house.Just now they came up from the mountain and saw only a bamboo house amidst the lush greenery. There was a stream flowing n
I have to say, the three questions that Hannah asked in a row were the same questions that Morgan and May were concerned about.Jessica lost her memory, and they all didn't want to put pressure on her.They only have one precious daughter. When they first learned about Jessica's accident, both of them were devastated. Now that they have finally found her, Morgan and May naturally want to bring Jessica back home.Just now, Jessica and Terry walked in, talking and laughing. Both of them felt quite emotional inside.At this moment, the person most eager to have Jessica return should be Terry, and the person most anxious for Jessica to regain her memory is also Terry.But Terry seemed to have no worries about these issues. As parents, they couldn't bear to see Jessica struggling."It's true that this place was a bit poor, but Jessica lived happily and was doing fine."May sighed and said, "It's true, Jessica was definitely raised on a ped
Terry was clearly puzzled, "Will there be wild rabbits and pheasants on this mountain?"This side is all small hills, they are called mountains, but the altitude is not high, only about one or two hundred meters. It takes about three hours to go up from the foot of the mountain to the top slowly, and it takes a little over an hour to go up quickly.More than twenty years ago, it was not uncommon to see wild pheasants and wild rabbits. Given the current ecological environment, it is indeed quite unexpected to still have wild pheasants and wild rabbits.Julie looked at him and smiled, "What Roberto said, anyway, those who run in the mountains, nameless and faceless, what are they if not wild chickens and hares?""That's right."Terry thought that Roberto was indeed quite interesting. You said he was a bad person, but he didn't hesitate to save Jessica. You say he is a good person, but he is actually very "carefree".The two of them crossed the
Terry paused for a moment, watching Jessica's figure disappear. It was only then that he noticed Roberto lying on the lounge chair about ten meters ahead.At that moment, the sun was scorching hot, and Roberto covered his face with a straw hat to shield it from the direct sunlight.Julie walked over and looked at the sun hat on Roberto's face, raising an eyebrow and shaking her ponytail. She took a few steps forward and pulled the fishing line hard.Feeling the fishing rod in his hand move, Roberto quickly sat up from the lounge chair."Old man, there was a fish on the hook!"Roberto saw her and snorted, "What are you here for?""I saw you fishing!"Roberto scoffed, "It was you who pulled the fishing line just now, right?""Don't accuse me wrongly, I didn't do it."Julie didn't admit it.Roberto heard the commotion from Terry's side, turned his head and saw Terry throwing a bamboo cage into the stream. He instinct
Because Morgan and the others were still asleep, Julie had to leave a note on the table in the living room.Afterwards, she took Terry into the mountains.When the two of them were leaving, Lucas was still there. Seeing them leaving, he also followed along.Terry glanced at Jessica and didn't say anything.Julie paused and turned her head to look at Lucas. "Mr. Thomas, I suggest you go back and take care of your company. Although I have lost my memory and don't remember our past, I believe that since we got divorced, I must have had my reasons."She spoke, paused for a moment, and finally glanced at Lucas before bluntly adding, "Persistent pestering, it really lacks the grace of a man."Jessica before her amnesia had said something similar.With just one sentence, she left Lucas speechless.But he knew that Jessica had lost her memory, it was a second chance given to him by fate, even though he felt despicable in doing so.
Julie walked into the backyard and saw the clothes thrown in the trash bin. She glanced at them and then carried the clothes into the bathroom.Julie finished taking a shower and washing her hair before going out. Hannah was sitting at the door of the west wing and when she saw Julie coming out, she got up and tried to cover up the truth, saying, "There are too many mosquitoes over there."She spoke and showed her arm that had been stung.Julie glanced and said, "There were many mosquitoes in the evening, I suggest you wear long sleeves."Their clothes were brought by a woman who drove over after the rain stopped. The woman seemed quite excited when she saw her, her eyes even turned red as she looked at Julie.But Julie couldn't remember anything, so she just nodded her head as a way of greeting.The clothes Wendy brought over were quite thoughtful, as she prepared several sets for each person.Hannah obediently went to change into lo
Terry reacted quickly too. Upon hearing Jessica's words, he closed the box and threw it back into the pit.Julie hurriedly filled the soil back with a shovel. This box of gold, indeed, could not be exposed to light casually!She guessed that there were valuable things hidden inside, otherwise, during the few days she was unconscious and drugged, it couldn't possibly have been dug up by the old man going up the mountain.In the first few days after waking up, Roberto still made her drink medicine.Although Julie didn't have the ability to distinguish medicines, she could clearly recognize the thick ginseng placed in the kitchen.Although it is said that all ginseng nowadays has been cultivated, the one Roberto uses for medicinal purposes is mostly wild, and it grows so long. It must be quite expensive.It should be at least a few thousand, if not tens of thousands.This was just the money for a medicine, and later Roberto also bought h
Hannah saw Terry coming and tactfully left the kitchen.Terry also glanced at Jessica and said, "I just saw a big yellow dog."Julie paused her action of scrubbing the pot and said, "Tsk, you're quite naughty too."Terry looked at her, his eyes twinkling with a smile. He didn't say anything, but Julie somehow understood what he meant from the look in his eyes.She averted her gaze and started heating up the pan.Roberto was very stingy. He didn't give her much money, even though he knew they were going to the market today.Julie had one hundred and fifty dollars in her pocket and wanted to buy everything. But after looking around, she paid eighty dollars for clothes, and she was left with seventy dollars in her hand.Fortunately, things in remote and impoverished areas were cheap. She bought several pounds of pork and pig bones. She originally wanted to buy chicken, but Roberto said there were wild chickens in the mountains. When she
