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. YetNo 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'
If Jessica knew that she would run into the two men about to start a fight, she would rather ask a neighbor for help than come downstairs herself. She fell asleep, but period pain bothered her due to the recent intensive schedule. Jessica rummaged around the apartment, only to find there were no painkillers at home. She decided to go out and buy some. As soon as she walked out of the apartment, Jessica unexpectedly saw Lucas and Terry fighting on the empty walkway. They were going to fight again. Jessica glanced at Terry and said, "Go on." She took a step and walked to the side. Terry pursed his lips and glanced at Lucas. "You're lucky today!" Terry soon caught up with Jessica. "Are you feeling OK?" Jessica hurried downstairs. She was wearing a random dress picked from the wardrobe. The wind blew and the hem of the dress touched Terry's calf. Jessica raised her eyebrows. "I need to buy something." She sto
"You don't feel well?" Lucas helped Jessica to the sofa and had her seated. He looked down at her with a frown. Jessica held the sofa. "Could you please get me a glass of water?" "Sure." Lucas let go of Jessica and then turned to pour a glass of water from the water dispenser. Jessica sat up on the sofa and reached out to take over the glass and said, "Thank you." Normally, Jessica wouldn't have let Lucas enter her place. But today, Jessica was not feeling well and she did not have the strength to argue with Lucas. Lucas did not speak and just brought the glass to her lips. Jessica glanced at Lucas. She was too weak to snatch it, so she pressed down on the glass and took a sip of water. Lucas looked at Jessica with his head bent. It had only been a few hours since he last saw her, yet Jessica seemed to be a different person. Her face looked extremely pale and her lips were dark. She looked so unwell. Afte
