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
At midnight, Hari was alone at the terminal building of Los Angeles Airport. He checked the time again. Lucas' flight should have arrived, yet Hari still hadn't caught sight of Lucas. The news of Terry and Lucas fighting over Jessica had been widely spread. Hari couldn't believe what he had just heard. The way Hari saw it, Lucas was the kind of person who rarely revealed his emotions. How could Lucas get himself into a fistfight at such a grand party? Finally, the loudspeaker sounded again. And Lucas arrived. "Lucas, here." Hari waved his hand, and Lucas walked over to him. Just as Hari was about to start gossiping about what happened tonight, his gaze fell on Lucas' face. Hari froze a bit. "Did you really get into a fight with Terry?" With that, Lucas tossed a cold glance at Hari. The coldness in his golden eyes made Hari shiver. It had been some time since Hari last saw Lucas with that sullen look. Yet
No one knew who posted the video of Lucas and Terry fighting each other online, but the video soon spread widely in the business circle in LA. After Justin knew about it, he immediately asked Dwayne to call Lucas, but no one answered. Justin was so angry that he couldn't sleep. He then called Morgan to apologize, and sat in the study until 11 o'clock. Justin usually went to bed at around ten o'clock, but now it was almost midnight. Dwayne couldn't help but remind Justin, "Mr. Thomas, it's almost twelve o'clock." Justin looked up at Dwayne. "My phone, please." Dawyne knew Justin was going to call Lucas again, so he brought the phone from the desk to him. Justin took the phone, put on his reading glasses, and searched for Lucas' number. Meanwhile, in the ward. Hari finally stopped yakking so that Lucas could enjoy the tranquility. However, the tranquility didn't last long before Lucas' phone rang. Lucas glanced at his ph
Jessica was a little surprised when she saw Lucas' apology on Twitter. Jessica never expected that Lucas would publicly apologize to her. Jessica suddenly felt that she never knew Lucas. Hannah found Lucas strange, too. "Jessica, do you think Lucas' account was hacked?" Hannah sent another message when she saw her message was marked read. Jessica was just about to reply when a call came in. It was Lucas. "Good morning, Mr. Thomas. What can I do for you?" Jessica hedged a bit before she picked up the phone. "Good morning, Miss Hall." Lucas sounded somewhat weak. "I'm sorry about what happened at your birthday party. I hope I can make it up by treating you to dinner." Jessica raised her eyebrows and said, "Mr. Thomas, didn't you already make a public apology? You don't have to take me to dinner." "A public apology is just my attitude, but it doesn't mean that you must forgive me. For the future cooperation between our two famil
It rained in downtown LA. As soon as Jessica opened the car door, she immediately felt a chill. Jessica was distracted for a moment before a coat fell on her shoulders. Jessica turned around and saw Terry standing beside her, holding an umbrella. He reached out and said, "Miss Hall, let me help you get out of the car." Jessica looked at Terry's hand and hesitated for a moment. She didn't put her hand on it. She got out of the car directly. Terry didn't mind that. He retracted his hand and waited for Jessica to get out of the car before he closed the door. The two walked into the mall together. Jessica saw a row of claw machines in the arcade and could not help but stop. "Did you bring me here to catch a doll, Mr. Davison?" "Don't you like it?" Terry tilted his head and smiled at her. "Miss Hall, you can have fun today. Just take it as another birthday party for you." "Maybe next time. I don't have much time today." Jessica raised he
"Okay, thank you," Jessica replied and left the restaurant. Although she looked calm, she was quite surprised deep down. Lucas left because he didn't feel well? What on earth happened to him? Jessica was once Lucas' wife after all. As far as she knew, he never put his health first. He wouldn't have left if he only felt slightly uncomfortable. If Lucas had left because Jessica was late, he must have thought of a better excuse. Jessica stood at the door of the restaurant and thought for a while. She didn't think rushing to the Thomas villa was proper, so she called Lucas. To her surprise, Hari answered the phone. "Mr. Hartley?" "Miss Hall, what happened?" Hari's voice sounded unusually indifferent. Jessica paused and continued to ask, "Sorry, I was late today. When I went to the restaurant, I heard from the waitress that Mr. Thomas left because he felt unwell. I'm just calling to check how he's doing now."
