  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.

      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'

      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

    "Is it me? Have you got any news?""I was in Phoenix and had just received a package from Luna. Inside, there was a ring, Luna's letter, and... an urn."Terry's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "urn". "Where are you?" he asked."Just left Finger Cliff.""I was watching the surveillance footage at the police station."Upon hearing his words, Lucas on the other end of the phone immediately said, "I'm coming over."Terry responded with a sound, hung up the phone, and raised his hand to vigorously wipe his face.He was not in the mood to watch the surveillance footage anymore. He had been staring at it for over seven hours since around four o'clock in the morning, and his eyes were already hurting.However, with so many vehicles, he did not find any car with abnormalities."Rodney."Terry stood up and looked at Rodney.Seeing that he finally agreed to take a break, Rodney breathed a sigh of relief a

    That evening was clearly painful and unbearable.When Terry woke up, it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night.The ward was very quiet. As soon as he opened his eyes, he instinctively looked for Jessica.However, everything around him was unfamiliar, without Jessica, only he himself.He still had an IV drip in his hand, but Terry directly pulled out the needle. Just as he walked out of the ward, he happened to see Rodney walking towards him from the direction of the elevator.Terry ran over directly and asked, "How is Jessica doing, Rodney?"Rodney glanced at Terry, feeling a bit reluctant. "Mr. Davison, I'm sorry, but up until now, we haven't received any news about Ms. Hall."Upon hearing Rodney's words, Terry trembled slightly and asked, "Has Lucas contacted me?""Mr. Thomas called shortly after you had just passed out, and he was also inquiring about Ms. Hall's condition."There was no news from e

    When Luna woke up, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.She was hanging on the cliff for nearly three hours. Although she didn't suffer much injury, she had a fever because of fear and the cold sea breeze blowing on the cliff for more than three hours at night. When she was taken to the hospital, her temperature had risen to forty degrees. It wasn't until after eleven o'clock at night that the fever finally subsided.Plus, the things she has experienced in the past few days have been too horrifying. She has been living in fear for so long that her mental state is almost on the verge of collapse. After waking up, she completely lost control of her emotions and screamed while holding her head.Upon hearing Olivia's cry, Vincent quickly instructed the person next to him to go in and comfort Olivia, then turned around and ran downstairs to the hospital to find Lucas.When he found Lucas, Lucas was sitting in the smoking area, with a trash can right

    The man in the passenger seat frowned when he saw the situation and said, "Hasn't he died?"He said as he bent down and checked Olivia's breath, feeling a faint pulse in his hand. The man breathed a sigh of relief, "She's not dead."Saying that, he grabbed Olivia's hand, hoisted her up, and threw her back into the car. "Let's go, to Wind Cliff!"The van started up again, and Olivia inside had already fainted.When Olivia woke up again, she found herself dropped down a cliff, with a vast sea below.She screamed loudly in fright, and the two men on the cliff heard her scream, furrowing their brows, but no one paid attention to her.Carson City was gradually getting dark at seven o'clock when Lucas arrived at Wind Cliff, precisely at half past seven.The sky had already turned completely dark, and the sea water surged up, with the water below churning fiercely.Lucas did not see Olivia, and there was no one on the cliff.Ho

    Around six in the evening, Rodney brought a boxed meal and handed it to Terry. "Mr. Davison, I understand your mood, but if you can't take care of your own body, how can you save Ms. Hall?"Terry took the boxed meal and said, "Thank you."He just didn't have much appetite and mechanically stuffed food into his mouth.The sunset at Finger Cliff was beautiful, but none of the people on the mountaintop were in the mood to appreciate it at that moment, after all, a young life was at stake.Rodney looked at Terry stuffing rice into his mouth, sighed slightly, and handed him a bottle of mineral water.This time, Terry didn't refuse. He finished the boxed lunch while drinking mineral water.At 7 o'clock in the evening, night fell, but everything around remained the same, except that the wind had become a bit colder than during the day.Terry looked at the cigarette in Rodney's hand for a moment, then he spoke up, "Rodney, can you give me a c

    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
