  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."

      After a day of work, Jessica was dragged to Cloud Top by Hannah again. Mona didn't return to New York to celebrate Jessica's birthday due to work, so she invited Jessica to have free drinks tonight.  They drank some alcohol and were kind of dizzy when they left the nightclub.  "I'll call Wendy to pick us up." Jessica looked at her tipsy friend and took out her phone.  She felt slightly sorry to ask Wendy to pick them up late at night.  Jessica was just about to call Wendy when Hannah bumped her hand.  "What's the matter?" Jessica snorted.  "Look who's there."  Upon hearing Hannah's words, Jessica raised her head and saw Terry approaching quickly.  Hannah snorted and said to Jessica, "I have to say, Mr. Davison is really good at pursuing girls."  Jessica raised her eyebrows and looked at Terry, who had walked up to her. "What a coincidence, Mr. Davison."  "Not really. I came to fetch you home."  The sincere smile on

      Terry chuckled. "It's not that you don't like playboys. Jessica, you just don't like feeling insecure. If I am honest with you, will you think that I'm a little more reliable?"  Jessica smiled and said, "I don't think I'm that unconfident."  "Really?"  Terry curled his lips. "Then you should try accepting me. Maybe you'll gain some unexpected results, right?"  Jessica looked straight ahead. "But I'm more interested in earning money now. Mr. Davison, aren't you so?"  "True that."  Terry answered and then added after a pause, "But earning money and pursuing you are not contradictory."  Jessica smiled and didn't say anything else.  Terry's comeback gave her a headache. Jessica rather hoped that Terry had admitted defeat that night and then gave up.  Jessica wasn't sure if she would fall in love with another man, but she didn't think she had any feelings for Terry.  The car soon stopped at Jessica's apartment, but Terry didn'

Jessica picked it up and watched as the little boy ran over."Miss Pretty."What a sweet little boy! Calling her pretty though it was the first time they met.Jessica raised a brow. "Aren't you a cutie pie?"She spoke as she handed the football back to the little boy.Just then, Lucas returned with an ice cream in his hand.

    The two walked to a nearby restaurant for lunch. On the way back, they stopped at the zebra crossing to wait for the light. The interval was a bit long, about 100 seconds. "How about playing a little game?" Jessica was curious. "What kinda game?" "Guess whether the number of the white stripes on this zebra crossing is odd or even." Jessica instinctively glanced down and asked, "Is there a reward if I win?" "Sure." Jessica arched her brow and said, "Then what if I lose?" "When we cross the street, you're gonna give me a kiss." Jessica looked up at Lucas, figuring it was indeed something he could come up with. She shot a glance at the zebra crossing and said, "I guess it's even." "Then I guess it's odd." While they were talking, the red light across the street turned green. They exchanged a glance and both silently counted the white stripes. "11, 12, 13, 14, 15—" Once they crossed over, Jessica announced triumphantly, "And the last one, 16! It is an even number. You lost, L

      Jessica was shocked by what Wendy had said. Five years ago, it could be said to be a farce. But if Oscar did have something to do with Justin's death, it was murder.  Jessica realized how serious the whole thing was. She had instructed Wendy to gather more evidence and then hurriedly returned home.  Jessica finished reading the report Wendy had given her, and she felt that Wendy's guess was reasonable.  For the sake of certainty, Jessica called Wendy, asking her to share the report with Vincent.  Jessica sat in the living room, carefully thinking about the whole thing. She always felt that Luna wanted to marry Lucas simply for the sake of the wealth of the Thomas family.  Unlike Oscar, Luna wouldn't have gone as far as murdering.  Luna wouldn't risk going into prison. If she did end up in prison, she wouldn't be able to enjoy a luxurious life.  Therefore, it was very likely that Luna had been used by Oscar.  When Jessica thought of t

      Jessica took out a small box from the drawer and there was a necklace inside.  It was the necklace that Jessica found when she returned to that room five years ago. She had always thought it was Lucas'. Yet she later learned it belonged to Terry.  Ever since she found out that the necklace was Terry's, she had never brought it with her anymore. She kept it in the box.  Now that she looked at the necklace and had a new doubt.  Why would Terry's necklace appear in that room?  She checked the time before she called Terry.  Terry was very happy when he received Jessica's call. She rarely took the initiative to call him.  Jessica invited him out for dinner, and the two of them arrived at a steakhouse not far from the Hall Group.  When Terry arrived, Jessica was already sitting in the reserved seat. He looked at Jessica's back, and a feeling of longing surged in his heart.  He quickly walked over and looked at Jessica with a smile. "

      Oscar stood up and walked to Lucas' table. "When I become the CEO of Thomas Group, I'd love to arrange some new work for you."  "Is that so?" Lucas sneered. "Get this project done first. As far as I know, there were casualties in your first joint project with the Davison Group. If Terry weren't that eager to go against me, he wouldn't have given any project to someone like you who has no competence at all."  Oscar was utterly irritated.  He hated it when others said that he had no competence at all.  However, Lucas was now the CEO of the Thomas Group. If he beat Lucas now, Lucas would directly drive him out of the company.  He had not gotten the Thomas Group yet, so he could not make a move driven by impulse.  Yet the contempt in Lucas' eyes was like a sharp knife, stabbing at his sore point.  Oscar took a step back, looked at Lucas, and sneered after taking a deep breath.  He said, "Have a good time now. You don't get everything. If

      Although Terry rejected Oscar's request, he did give Oscar some new projects.  However, compared to the projects in the northland, these projects were really not enough.  In the recent company executive meeting, the number of people supporting Oscar had obviously decreased, and even the executive who had a relationship with Louis lost his confidence in Oscar.  This made Oscar even more annoyed. He called Terry again.  He had to reach Jessica through Terry.  "If you don't help me, I will go to the Hall Group myself. It's not like I don't know what she looks like," Oscar said bitterly.  "If you go to her, I will immediately suspend all the cooperation with you."  Jessica was Terry's bottom line. Terry wouldn't make any compromise.  After hanging up the phone, Oscar angrily pushed everything on the table to the ground, and then slammed the coffee cup. The sound of the cup shattering came from his office.  Oscar sat in his chair wi

      Jessica looked at Lucas. For the first time, Jessica didn't feel offended by Lucas' indifferent attitude. All of a sudden, she seemed to have understood what his attitude was about.  She understood that his attitude was just a disguise.  In the past, Jessica thought it was his arrogance. After all, he seemed to have owned the whole world back then.  "I didn't expect that," Jessica said calmly. "I never wanted anyone to replace you. It's just I hate it when others are plotting against my family. I believe you feel the same."  "Then what is this conversation about?" Lucas felt bitter. Even his voice became hoarse.  "I don't think you need me to teach you what to do. You are not a person who will willingly accept failure." Jessica paused for a moment before she spoke.  "But I have to accept it when it comes to you," Lucas said peacefully. The arrogant man finally admitted his failure in love.  Jessica didn't feel the pleasure of revenge at al

     Jessica was confused, but she didn't call Terry directly.  She knew that if she called Terry, he would immediately tell her what his relationship with Oscar was.  But now, she didn't know if she could believe what Terry would say.  After getting off work, Jessica and Hannah came to Mona's nightclub together.  Caesar and Lance were there today. The few of them chatted together.  Jessica had to drive back by herself, so she only ordered a glass of alcohol-free juice.  "Jessica, that Oscar seems very active recently. Do you know him?"  No one from the Thomas Group and Thomas family had appeared in their topic for a long time, and after Caesar asked this question, the others all stared at Jessica.  "To be honest, I didn't know this person before," Jessica shrugged. "Lucas' father has been living outside and he has a child. That's all I know."  Jessica wasn't lying. She felt that Olivia and Rebecca should know something, but they wou

      Oscar knew that Lucas would definitely look down on him, but he did not care. With the help of Louis, he had already obtained a management position in the Thomas Group.  "How is it, Oscar?" Louis followed Oscar to his office. Every time he saw his kid with Amanda, he felt proud.  Louis found himself useful. He just helped his son get a position.  Oscar turned to look at Louis, and the corners of his mouth curled into a self-mocking smile. "Dad, you have to know that the entire Thomas Group will finally fall into our grip."  "What are you talking about, Oscar!" Louis panicked when he heard that. He then hurriedly looked around to see if anyone was listening.  "Dad, what are you nervous about? You are grandpa's only son. The Thomas Group should have been yours."  "That may be true, but the Thomas Group is in your brother's hands now," Louis said awkwardly.  Louis wanted to make money, but he also knew he was not capable enough to run the Tho
