  Rebecca frowned. "But I don't think Jessica wants to see me."

  Rebecca was timid, but she was not stupid.

  In the Thomas family, Rebecca was just like Jessica. But she didn't have Jessica's pride or her family background, so Rebecca never fought back.

  Now that Jessica and Lucas were divorced, Rebecca believed that Jessica wanted to keep a distance from the Thomas family. If Rebecca were Jessica, that would be what she wanted.

  "That depends on how you do it, Rebecca. You won't shut outside the door, will you?"

  Justin was making it clear that Rebecca had to bond with Jessica.

  Rebecca had never dared to go against her strict father—in—law. Although she was reluctant, she had to nod. "I see, father."

  Rebecca went out of the study with a pale face. When she returned to her room, she thought of what Justin had entrusted her with.

  Although Jessica hadn't gotten over with Rebecca, they had never actually bonded before.

      When the matter was exposed, discussions about Jessica and Lucas started again.  When Hari learned about that, he thought Lucas had finally learned how to play tricks. Yet when he called Lucas, he realized that Lucas was not the mastermind.  After hanging up the phone, Lucas' face darkened. Vincent felt a bit overwhelmed by Lucas' grim face. He thus said, "Mr. Thomas?"  Lucas glanced at Vincent and said, "I'll go back to the Thomas' villa now and come back soon."  Vincent did not dare to say anything else. He could only watch Lucas leave while holding the documents that needed to be handled immediately.  On the way back, Lucas' face remained stern. He knew it must be Justin. He must have asked Dwayne to release the news.  Lucas recalled what Jessica had said the other day and felt as if he was slapped by an invisible hand right in the face.  The traffic light turned green, but Lucas didn't notice it until the following cars started to honk

      Lucas went to get the phone he had thrown into the garden before he even realized what he was doing. The garden was quite earthy.  It was a dumbphone from ten years ago, something even a man as old as Justin wouldn't use now.  The phone was locked. Lucas found himself hilarious when he saw the cue reading "Enter the password".  Lucas thought that he must have lost his mind that he even got curious about what was on the phone.  What was so entrancing about it? It was nothing more than a phone Jessica had deserted.  Yet still, Lucas didn't stop trying to unlock the phone.  When his fingers fell on the keyboard, he subconsciously entered Jessica's birthday as the code.  It didn't work.  Lucas frowned, and for some reason, he tried his own birthday.  Lucas felt a throb in his heart when he unlocked the phone.  It was hard to tell what Lucas' feelings were like at that moment. It was like a hunch for winning a lottery was prov

      "You may head out now," said Lucas as he gestured at Vincent.  Vincent wasn't sure if it was just his illusion that he found Lucas a bit strange.  Lucas seemed to be in a better mood?  Not exactly.  Anyway, Lucas looked less terrifying.  But still terrifying.  Vincent did not dare challenge Lucas. Thus, he responded and left.  Lucas was left alone in the office.  He glanced at the phone on his desk again. After a while, Lucas put the dumbphone into his pocket.  Perhaps Vincent was right. How could Jessica let go of her affection for Lucas that had lasted for over ten years?  The gossip over the land in the north was soon suppressed by Vincent, only a few hours after Dwayne posted it.  Jessica soon found out about that, too. Jessica assumed that Lucas must have been behind that.  Jessica knew about Lucas' pride throughout their three—year marriage. He disdained to play such a trick.  Jessica didn't

      Wendy was a skillful driver. The car stopped after thirty minutes.  Wendy said softly, "Miss Hall?"  Hearing Wendy's voice, Jessica slowly opened her eyes.  Having seen the familiar surroundings, Jessica nodded. "Good night, Wendy."  Jessica then got out of the car. She then spotted Terry.  It had been a week since Jessica last saw Terry at her place, together with Lucas.  "You just had a drink?"  Terry flickered his eyes when he smelled alcohol.  Jessica nodded and raised her eyebrows. "What are you doing here, Mr. Davison?"  Terry smiled at what Jessica said, "What? Can't I just drop by and check on you?"  Jessica felt a bit dizzy because of the alcohol. She didn't want to stay with Terry. "So now you are done?"  "Sure."  Jessica felt uneasy under Terry's gaze. She looked away and said, "Then I'll go upstairs. Good night."  "Good night."  Standing there, Terry waved at Jessica as well.  Jes

      Rebecca suddenly recalled that Lucas, who was never close to Rebecca, suddenly came to her to ask about Jessica. He wanted to know how Jessica spent those three years.  Rebecca felt more determined and took the initiative to say, "Sorry for asking you out when you are so occupied, Jessica."  Jessica had been silently sipping her coffee, waiting for Rebecca to speak. Jessica smiled faintly when she heard that. "Mrs. Thomas, it's very kind of you to say that. You've been asking to see me several times, yet I didn't meet with you until today. It's me who should say sorry. Besides, I was late today and kept you waiting. It's so rude of me."  Rebecca found it hard to go on with Jessica's polite formula. The private room fell in silence. Rebecca felt so embarrassed, sitting there.  Jessica didn't feel embarrassed. Rebecca must have something to say. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked to meet with Jessica over and over again.  Jessica poured herself a glass

      The man was kicked to the ground, clutching his stomach and grimacing in pain. "You bitch! I'm gonna slap ——"  Before he could finish, Jessica lifted her leg and the man twitched a bit. He was too timid to challenge Jessica again.  He just looked at the woman fiercely. "You wanna lose your job? Even so, you have to apologize to the general manager first. Otherwise, you are not going back!"  "No, no, no! Please. I'll quit. I'll quit. Please, miss, please help me. I've just graduated from college. He offered to take me on a business trip. But I didn't expect that he would ask me to sleep with the guest..."  Though the woman didn't speak much, Jessica understood what was happening. She took out her phone and pressed "911". She then said to the man, "Get lost yourself, or should I call the police?"  The man clutched his stomach and cursed. Finally, he went back to his private room.  As soon as the man left, the woman Jessica had been hol

      Jessica was startled when she saw Lucas.  She quickly walked to the bed and placed her finger under Lucas' nose. Lucas was still breathing.  Lucas didn't wake up. But luckily, he was just in a coma.  Jessica walked around the room. The door was locked and her phone was taken away.  If she wanted to leave this room now, she could only smash open the window and jump down.  Jessica walked to the sofa in the room and sat down.  Obviously, the woman she saved was working with the man who had just been hiding in the room.  The woman put on a show and made Jessica sympathize with her before she lured Jessica to the room.  Catching Jessica off guard, the hidden man locked Jessica and Lucas up in the same suite.  Those two people locked Jessica with Lucas, but they never mentioned what they wanted. Jessica found that strange.  Jessica and Lucas were both famously rich in LA, but those people did not seem to want to kill them nor a

      Jessica could feel Lucas' scorching gaze, which was turning her on.  She paced around the room, but it couldn't help reduce her discomfort at all.  Jessica could hear Lucas suppressing his breath.  Somehow, she found that sound attractive to her. She held one of her arms with the other and pinched herself.  Jessica hoped that the pain would sober her up.  "What happened to you?" Jessica tried to sound normal.  Lucas saw the wariness and concern in Jessica's eyes. He struggled to hold himself back. "I might have been drugged."  It felt very similar to the night years ago, but it was more torturous now than it had been back then.  He did not like Jessica that night, but now he did.  One couldn't even help but get close to someone they liked, not to mention under the circumstance where they were drugged.  "Don't come over here, Lucas. I don't want to repeat the mistake I made once."  Jessica pinched her arm hard again,

    "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
