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 JustLuna 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
Justin looked a bit embarrassed when he heard Lucas. Justin then tossed a sharp glance at Olivia. "Olivia has been quite willful and always provoked Jessica. That was Olivia's fault. You don't need to worry about that. Marry Jessica again and leave Olivia to us." Justin looked at Olivia and said, "Last time, I only locked you up in the Black House for three days. If you stir up any trouble again, you'll see how hard your life can be." Olivia was very surprised and dissatisfied when Justin made her sound like a troublemaker. She wanted to refute, but when she heard Justin's warning, she lost the guts. She snorted and said, "I won't, grandpa." "Alright, Lucas, come with me." Justin stood up and said to Lucas. Lucas nodded to Rebecca and followed Justin to the study. Dwayne helped Justin to the sofa in the study and left. Lucas closed the door and walked to Justin. "What do you think about remarrying Jessica?" Lucas didn'
Jessica's birthday party was held at the Ritz—Carlton New York, Battery Park Hotel, a five—star triple—A hotel. The banquet was extremely grand. Jessica was wearing an ice—blue gown decorated with pearls, and the makeup on her face was exquisite. She walked up to Lucas and Terry with a smile. "Mr. Davison, Mr. Thomas, thank you for coming to my birthday party." Jessica put on a proper smile, both polite and distant. Lucas looked at Jessica. He felt a sting in his heart when he saw the distance in Jessica's bright eyes. Terry didn't seem to mind that. He raised his goblet and clinked it against Jessica's. "Miss Hall, you look stunning tonight." Jessica smiled. "Thank you." Lucas, who was standing over, only found the scene annoying. He tightened his grip on his goblet. Lucas tried to say something nice to Jessica, yet he just didn't have Terry's glib tongue. In the end, Lucas said nothing. Most o
Although Morgan didn't say much, the guests could still tell from the way Morgan looked at Jessica that he loved his daughter very much. Besides, the assets of the Hall family were priceless. It would be hard to tell how much money Jessica would possess. Morgan always protected his daughter well. No one had ever found out who Morgan's daughter was unless Jessica told them about her identity herself. Although some had made a guess, the guests still made some noise when they heard it from Morgan. "So she is Morgan's daughter. She is so beautiful, like a star." "What are you talking about? Miss Hall is much nobler than a star. Think about how much money she has now! Billions!" "I heard that Miss Hall is still single now? I wonder if she has any intentions to wed for business's sake." Discussions broke out among the audience. On such an occasion, everyone tried to say something nice. The smile on Morgan's face deepened. After he
Jessica turned to leave. Suddenly, she heard a bang from behind. The loud noise attracted people's attention even from the venue. Some noticed Terry and Lucas and were about to come over to have a look. Jessica didn't want the two to make a fuss. Thus, she had to return and keep an eye on the two men. They were beating each other hard. Jessica said angrily, "It's my birthday today. Is this how you guys celebrate my birthday? By blowing it?" Terry and Lucas both stopped. Those who had noticed the noise came over first. They had already seen Lucas and Terry fighting. Later, more people came over. Jessica didn't feel like interfering, but she didn't want to embarrass Morgan. After all, a lot of big shots and celebrities in the circle showed up tonight. Thus, Jessica asked Hannah to split the two. Jessica called the waiters to help dismiss the guests. Suddenly, a guest cried out. Jessica looked over and saw Lucas leaning at the f
Jerry heard Terry's words and instinctively looked up at him.When Jerry's gaze met those peach blossom eyes, his heart felt a bit uncomfortable. "Mr. Davison, Ms. Hall is so smart, she must be able to handle it.""Is that so?"Terry lowered his head and raised his hand to cover the watch on his left hand.This is a customized couple watch made by Jessica, and there are only two of them in the world, making them unique.But as he watched the time pass by minute by minute on the watch, there was no joy in his heart. He had not seen her or heard her voice for twenty-five consecutive hours.This feeling was more painful than when he first found out that she was going to marry Lucas.He was really scared.Jerry had followed Terry for so many years and had never seen Terry like this before. Now, looking at him, Jerry also felt uneasy inside.But now Jessica has not been found yet, everything is still unknown. If they try a li
Running during the day is much better than running at night, at least you can see the road clearly.But inside this mountain, everywhere was trees and waist-high weeds, there was simply no path for Jessica to run.Jessica didn't have much strength left; she only knew that she couldn't be caught up.But she could still hear the woman's screaming voice, knowing without a doubt that she hadn't run far.The woman was probably going to call the man. It was all grass everywhere, where did she run to, they would find her if they were a bit smarter.Jessica stopped and leaned against a tree, catching her breath while analyzing the terrain.Looking around, she couldn't see any houses, so she couldn't ask for help.Jessica hesitated whether to run towards the foot of the mountain or up the mountain.She didn't have much time to hesitate anymore, as the man's angry roar and the woman's curses behind her were reminding her that they were a
The driver brother talked a lot. Jessica didn't know whether to believe his nonsense or not, but she was already exhausted.Fortunately, they chatted for more than ten minutes, and the taxi driver also noticed that Jessica was very tired. He handed her a bottle of mineral water and told her to take a nap. "I just finished delivering the goods and need to go home to pick up new ones. Don't mind, take a rest for a while. We will arrive at my house in ten minutes."Jessica took the mineral water and unscrewed it, then drank more than half of it directly.The elder brother driver stopped talking, and she also remained silent, turning her head to look out of the car window. She almost fell asleep several times, but she managed to hold on.The driver did not deceive him, his house was indeed just nearby. The small truck drove into a village, and Jessica got out of the car with him."Have some breakfast first. The police station is five kilometers ahead.
Neither of the two men expected that Jessica would suddenly escape, after all, her hands and feet were tied with ropes.The two of them were chatting just now. Although they occasionally glanced at Jessica, they found that when Jessica disappeared, she had already run seven or eight meters away.Two men were in the car and they really thought Jessica had diarrhea. They felt a bit disgusted, so they closed the car door. However, they realized that she had run away when they opened the door, causing a delay of one or two seconds. By the time the two men got out of the car, Jessica had already run up the hill.Late at night, in the quietness, the outskirts of the area within ten miles seemed deserted as if there were no households around. Two men's angry shouts were closely chasing from behind.Jessica was wearing high heels on her feet, and she was not running comfortably. However, the mountain road was overgrown with weeds, and if she took off her shoes, s
Terry directly handed the money to him and led the people over to the other side of District 3.Lucas noticed some movement over here and came over with someone. "What did you find?"Terry glanced at him and said, "Just now, a night shift employee said that around midnight, two vans drove over here."Late at night, two vans arrived here. Besides transferring Jessica and Olivia, what else could they do?Obviously, both Terry and Lucas were a step late. By the time they arrived here, it was already a little past twelve forty.Terry looked at the containers in front of him for a while, and suddenly remembered something. "When I came over, I saw two vans turning from Sea Road to the other side of Purple Road."At the end of Sea Road is the harbor, and the two vans that turned out from the Sea Road entrance are very likely the two vans that the night shift worker mentioned.Terry was the first one to arrive here. It was over 800 meters fro
Olivia cried all day, slept soundly, and suddenly got kicked, waking up. She forgot about being kidnapped and got angry when she woke up. She yelled at Jessica, "What are you doing? Why did you kick me?""Someone came, don't speak."Olivia heard the noise outside and also realized it. She moved in a panic next to Jessica and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I just woke up."Jessica didn't say anything; she had a very bad feeling.Soon, the container was opened again.This time, among the visitors, Luna was not present, only four men were there.They held flashlights and shone them into the container. They took a look and then immediately looked down at their phones.Jessica's heart sank in an instant, and she whispered to Olivia, "They are going to move us to another place later. Be careful not to give anything away. Make sure they don't find out that the ropes on our hands and feet are not properly tied."Olivia's face turned pale as so
"Lucas, long time no see. I heard that Justin passed away, what a pity. I didn't have the chance to attend the funeral, after all, it was extremely difficult for me to escape from Justin's clutches. Your sister and Jessica are both in my hands, don't worry, they are doing well now and I'm in a good mood. However, you don't have much time left to relax. You should think carefully about what is more important to you, the person you love or your own sister."The signature is Luna.After reading the message, Lucas' face immediately darkened. "Vincent, look up Luna for me!"Terry glanced at him, but did not ask Jerry to check on Luna.Luna dared to send the message to Lucas' phone, proving that she might not be in LA anymore.Jessica and Olivia must have been in LA, after all, Luna still had to let Lucas choose.Now there is finally news about Jessica, although it is not good news, it is still better than knowing nothing at all.Terry look
It was ten o'clock at night, and it had been eight hours and forty minutes since Jessica went missing. However, Terry had no clue at all.Afternoon, Jessica went to the bathroom. Wendy waited by the car for twenty minutes, but when she saw that Jessica hadn't come out yet, she called her on the phone. However, the line was busy on the other end.Wendy realized that something might have gone wrong. She went to the restroom to find Jessica while calling Terry. After contacting Terry, she had already reached out to the hotel manager and entered the surveillance room.The surveillance footage showed that Jessica entered the first-floor restroom at 13.11 in the afternoon and remained inside until 13.30. However, the footage did not show anyone coming out of the restroom during that time. It was as if Jessica had disappeared into thin air inside the restroom.According to the surveillance footage, it was not until 1.40 pm that a hotel guest checked out and ente
Jessica was also very shocked after hearing Luna's words.She guessed that Justin would target Luna and her two sisters, but she didn't expect him to do such a malicious thing.Although it is true that Luna and Trissy had the wrong idea of wanting to marry into a wealthy family and live a life of ease, it does not justify intentionally luring them and causing one of them to die and the other to be injured.Luna looked at Olivia, almost gritting her teeth. "Rest assured, considering how you did treat me well before, I won't harm you for now. But whether you can survive or not, that depends on your brother!"When Luna said these words, her eyes were filled with resentment, which frightened Olivia and made her tremble all over.Luna looked at it and found it boring, so she directly pushed Olivia away.Olivia fell down, landing heavily and making a loud "thud" sound.However, no matter how loud the sound was, on such a night, in such an e
