Jessica could tell the discontent and query in Hannah's tone. Thus, Jessica hurried to nudge Hannah, motioning her to stop.
The young lady standing next to Terry glanced at Hannah, then turned her gaze to Jessica. She smiled and extended her hand to Jessica. "Nice to meet you, Miss Hall. My name is Grace, Grace Sandoval." Jessica could see a sense of pride flashing into her eyes. Yet it soon disappeared. Jessica smiled. She stretched out her hand and shook Grace's lightly. "Hello, Miss Sandoval." "Just call me Grace. That's how Terry calls me." Grace then raised a sweet smile. "Are you going to Cloud Top as well, Miss Hall? Shall we go together? Terry's treat." "I'd rather not. We are not as idle as Mr. Davison and still have something to talk with Mona," Hannah spoke over Jessica subconsciously, regardless of her suggestions. Terry glanced at Hannah. He found what Hannah said funny. "That's rare. Since Miss Howell has a business talk, theTerry, who was striding towards the entrance of the Cloud Top, stopped in his tracks when he heard Grace's words. Terry couldn't help but frown. Terry turned to Grace and was about to speak when Grace's phone rang. "Sorry, I have to take it." Grace smiled at Terry, and then picked up the phone right in front of him without any intention of avoiding him. However, Terry still took a few steps back to give Grace some private space. Terry wasn't too far from Grace. He could still hear Grace's voice but couldn't hear the sound from the other side of the phone. "Hi, it's me. Yeah, I'm with Mr. Davison. "Well, we're at the Cloud Top. "I see. I see. We are heading back now. See you later." Grace hung up the phone and excitedly walked over to Terry. She stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "It's Davy, my agent. He reminded me not to forget about my work." Terry raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He then said to Grace s
It was Jessica's treat at Cloud Top. Hannah wanted a bigger party, so she called Caesar and Lance over as well. They drank and danced together. Jessica who had been working hard recently was quite relieved and the unease caused by Lucas dispersed as well. On the way home, Hannah, who was already a little wasted, repeatedly confirmed with Jessica that her mood had not been affected by Terry. After Jessica said no, Hannah leaned against Jessica's shoulder and fell asleep. Jessica leaned against the back of the seat and closed her eyes to get some rest. Jessica didn't feel sad because Terry turned to a new girl. Yet Jessica still felt something. After all, Terry had been pursuing her for a few months, and he had helped her out many times. Were it not for Jessica having just divorced and wasn't seeking any romantic relationships, things might have worked out between them. But it was all pointless. Jessica collected her thoughts and focu
"Miss Hall, a call from reception said that a lady was looking for you." Wendy walked to Jessica's desk and said. That meant someone who came here without an appointment. So Jessica did not speak, waiting for Wendy to give her more details. Wendy looked at Jessica and smiled, saying, "It's Miss Cheek." Jessica felt a bit surprised to hear that. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Which Miss Cheek?" "The younger Cheek, Luna Cheek." Wendy paused for a moment and asked, "Miss Hall, do you want to see her now?" "Where is she?" "In the 11th guest room on the first floor," Wendy replied. Jessica picked up her phone and stood up with a subtle smile. "I don't think there's anything urgent for Miss Cheek to look for me. Why don't you let her rest in the guest room for some more time and we go for lunch now?" Jessica left the Hall Group directly with Wendy and found a restaurant to dine out. Luna's visit made Jes
Jessica chuckled when she heard Luna's words. She really didn't see that coming. "Did I hear you right? What, Miss Cheek? Are you a marriage counselor now? But I still have to remind you that I have divorced Mr. Thomas." "No, Miss Hall." Luna waved her hands nervously as if she was afraid that Jessica would get her wrong. She continued, "I think there's a misunderstanding between the two of us." "Misunderstanding?" Jessica repeated the word slowly. She saw a flash of resentment in Luna's eyes. "Well, not precisely misunderstanding. I did something wrong and caused you some trouble because I was jealous of you. If you are still angry, I apologize to you." Luna put on her usual fragile and timid look again. "Miss Hall, Lucas shouldn't have married you to protect me. That was his fault. But it was in the past. You've been together for three years and there must have been a bond between you two. My family is far inferior to yours, Miss Hall, and Just
Luna raised her arm and pointed to the table. Jessica turned to look. The coffee cup at Jessica's side was indeed gone. And the empty cup on the floor was Jessica's. Seeing that Jessica was silent, Luna turned to Lucas. "Lucas, don't blame Miss Hall. She really didn't push me too hard. It was my problem. I'm too fragile after that car accident." "Why did Mr. Thomas suddenly come to our company? Are you here to save the beauty, big hero?" Jessica snorted as she looked at Lucas, whose face was stern and brows knitted. "Trissy called me." Lucas was working in his office when he received a call from Trissy. Trissy said anxiously that Luna planned to leave LA because she was not recovering well. And Luna wanted to do something for Lucas before leaving, so she had gone to Jessica herself. Trissy called Lucas and told him she feared that Luna would be bullied. After getting that call, Lucas immediately put down his work and drove to
"Lucas, did you see the photo I sent you? Terry went to a hotel with another woman and they were photographed. Did he give up on Jessica?" Lucas looked at the text. His golden eyes moved slightly, but he still did not send a reply. Lucas had just seen Jessica. He could tell that she was not affected by the gossip at all. Either Jessica didn't give a damn about Terry, or she trusted Terry very much. Either way, Lucas couldn't step forward to ask her about that. It would only worsen their relationship. After Jessica divorced Lucas, she disappeared from LA. When Jessica returned to LA again, she was already the general manager of the Hall Group. And just as Jessica began to show her charm, Terry suddenly appeared to announce his pursuit of Jessica. In the past few months, wherever Jessica appeared, Terry was beside her. Almost everyone in the upper—class society of LA believed that the playboy of the Davison family would e
Terry's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Other than Eden, Terry couldn't think of who it would be. A lot of women wanted to piggyback on him, but not all of them had the guts to do it. Therefore, Terry called his secretary and let him investigate the whole thing. Soon, Terry's secretary called him back. "Mr. Davison, the email came from a small entertainment company. The person in charge said that the photo was provided by a professional agent called Davy." Davy? Terry hung up the phone and recalled. He remembered that Grace's agent was called Davy. It couldn't be just a coincidence, right? Terry turned on his phone and found Grace's number. He immediately dialed the number. The call connected. Without waiting for Grace to speak, he asked, "Your agent was behind the gossip about me on Twitter, right?" Terry's tone sounded cold, and Grace could immediately tell that he was angry. So Grace chuckled. "T, don't be angry. You know
Terry gazed at Jessica for some time before he finally said, "She is not my girlfriend." Jessica felt a bit surprised to hear that at first. She then smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Davison, you really don't need to explain it to me." Terry also smiled. In silence, he stared straight at Jessica as if he wanted to see through her. Jessica felt a little uneasy under his scorching gaze. Jessica lowered her head slightly and said, "I'm still in the middle of something. I'll head out now. See you, Mr. Davison." Terry did not speak. He stood where he was and watched Jessica leave, drowned in his own thoughts. "What on earth do you want?" A man's voice cut in from behind Terry. Terry sneered when he turned and saw the man behind him. "I thought Mr. Thomas was a gentleman. I didn't expect you to eavesdrop on others." "You've been targeting me since high school. Whenever I want to develop a business, you'll interfere. Business is business, b
Hannah fell silent for a moment, looking at Paige in front of her, and took a deep breath. "So, what did you come to see me for today?"Paige's emotions had stabilized, and so much time had passed since everything happened that she had no choice but to accept it, even if she didn't want to."I wanted to come and say sorry to you. Three years ago, I suddenly brought people to find you and caused you a lot of harm.""It has already passed, you don't need to care about it anymore."Paige looked at Hannah and hesitated for a moment, "You also had the right to know about this matter.""Thank you."Hannah's mood was completely disrupted like this, "If there's nothing else, I'll have my assistant send you."She had not fully processed this matter yet, and when facing Paige, she did not know what she should say.This time, Paige did not insist on staying any longer, “Today, I bothered you."She stood up and bowed deeply to
Marriage was impossible, and Hannah never thought about getting married.Hannah directly rejected Joseph's proposal, and as for Kendall, there was no need to even think about it.The Howell family had a good relationship with the Hawthorne family, even disregarding the Hawthorne family's troubles. Mrs. Howell had a good relationship with Kendall's mom.If the two of them got together, they would never be able to separate, even in death.Hannah could still see these problems very clearly.Sometimes she was just slow, she wasn't really stupid.Perhaps afraid that she would really do something foolish, Mona called her in the evening and analyzed the pros and cons of getting married according to the agreement.After Hannah repeatedly assured herself that she had not reached such a desperate point, Mona finally hung up the phone.After being "beaten up" by Mona like that, Hannah directly blocked Kendall's phone number.The ne
Kendall suddenly wiped the smile off her face and said, "You know about my family's situation, right? My grandfather is not doing well, and if I don't get married, the Hawthorne Group will have to fall into someone else's hands."Although Hannah and Kendall didn't get along since childhood, she was indeed aware of the things happening in his family.After his father had an affair, there was an illegitimate child born who was only a few years younger than Kendall. Later, his mother divorced his father, and the illegitimate child came back rightfully.At first, Grandfather Kendall was very biased towards Kendall, after all, he was the grandson of the legitimate wife.Kendall's mother took him away back then, and Kendall also rarely came home over the years because of his father.The illegitimate child used to accompany Kendall's grandfather every day, you know, the older a person gets, the more they long for a harmonious family.Kendall's gran
Hannah suddenly felt very tired, a tiredness she had never experienced before."Whether you are Dominic or Foster, our relationship had already ended from the day you left. If I were you, I would have had the decency to leave at that point, preserving some dignity for both of us."In the end, no one's face would look good.Is it necessary? Isn't it better to break up peacefully?Hannah's personality has always been carefree and bold. Foster still remembers their first meeting, when she openly expressed her liking without any hesitation.Later on, she became even more crazy, and he went from being bored to uncontrollably infatuated. She was like an everlasting fire, enveloping him, and managed to melt his icy heart.But now, she says it's over.The fire was extinguished, but he had already melted. How could he possibly let go!"I never thought about leaving you."He said he would find her, he just came back a little late.
Foster had no shame, while Hannah dared not lose her own face.His words did hit the nail on the head, and Hannah dared not move. She even kept her head down, afraid that someone might take a video and upload it online, which could lead to Jessica, Mona, and others recognizing her.Foster's car was parked in a nearby parking lot. He carried her over a small path and they arrived at the car after a few steps.Hannah struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free, and could only watch as he put her into the car.Hannah had been taking the stomach-aiding and digestion-promoting pills for several minutes when she started to hiccup. As she was fastening her seatbelt, she hiccuped twice. Coincidentally, Foster walked in from the side and watched her. Although he didn't say anything, Hannah could see the amusement in his dark eyes.Her face stiffened for a moment, and she glared at him, saying, "What are you laughing at? Haven't you seen someone hiccup before?"Making a mountain out of a mo
Foster glanced at her and didn't have any objections, “I'll listen to you."Hannah stopped talking and walked here for nearly twenty minutes, feeling tired and hungry.The thin slices of pork belly were quickly grilled to perfection. Hannah has always loved eating grilled meat. She is the kind of person who would rather gain weight herself than miss out on enjoying a good meal of meat.She didn't speak, a piece of grilled meat wrapped in lettuce, topped with sauce, and then she stuffed it into her mouth.Foster looked at her as she put the meat into her mouth. Her lips were like a squirrel hiding a pine nut inside its mouth, and her cheeks were puffed up, making anyone who looked at her feel an increase in appetite.Foster rarely ate these, even during the difficult years, he didn't really touch them. When he was hungry, he would just eat a piece of bread and drink a large bottle of water.He was not like Hannah, who always seemed to have the greatest enthusiasm for food.On the contr
Foster didn't move, just watched her.The two of them stood facing each other, neither willing to take a step back.It was the rush hour at this time. Hannah was standing inside the car, while Foster was standing outside, attracting the attention of many passersby.Joe arrived and saw Hannah standing inside the car, confronting Foster with a cold expression on her face.He hesitated for a moment before walking over and said, "Mr. Carroway?"Foster glanced at him and handed his phone to Hannah, saying, "I'll take you back, and Joe will handle the rest for you."Hannah took back her phone, "No need."She looked at the time and it had already been seven or eight minutes. Shouldn't the people from the 4S store have arrived by now?Hannah got off the car and was about to make another phone call to the person over there when she saw a trailer driving towards her."Miss Howell, I'm sorry, there was traffic on the way, so I arrived late."Hannah didn't say anything, she just told them to quic
No one knew what was going on between Hannah and Foster. Rowan and Abigail returned empty-handed from Hannah's villa and had no choice but to reluctantly visit Foster in Kangsel.However, the two of them went to Kangsel for several days in a row but didn't see Foster. Rowan was doing better, but Abigail's family couldn't wait any longer. Abigail had no choice but to secretly go and find Hannah again.This time she couldn't even see Hannah, Hannah's assistant directly said that Hannah was not in the company, and she didn't wait for Hannah at the villa either.After another four or five days had passed, Abigail finally managed to get an opportunity to meet Hannah.Hannah had just caught a cold when she was stopped by Abigail. She frowned, her face looking somewhat cold.Abigail looked at her and came out directly, asking her for help in front of so many people.Hannah was annoyed. She had been avoiding Rowan and Abigail for the past few days, and it was making her restless. She was trul
Hannah was also wondering when Rowan had become so humble, to the point of coming to the company specifically to apologize to her.That night, if it hadn't been for Foster coming out and mentioning Mr. Everitt, Rowan clearly didn't even want to say sorry.Hmm, that's strange.She had just wanted to call Sophia, but to her surprise, Sophia had already come in. "Miss Howell, Rowan and Abigail said they forgot to mention something."Hannah raised an eyebrow and said, "Let them in."She said it, didn't she?Rowan and Abigail turned back again, they looked at each other, seemingly discussing who should speak.Hannah didn't want to care about it at all, she tapped the table with the pen in her hand and said, "Cut to the chase, are you two playing telepathy over there?"Rowan's face stiffened, and Abigail took the opportunity to speak, “Miss Howell, you just said, that night's incident, that night has already passed, so can you please ask the influential figure behind you to go easy on the t
