2024-01-20 16:01:23"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,

Lucas could tell from Jessica's tone that she was afraid. Though he felt a bit upset at Jessica's fear, he handed her the tie and reached out both of his hands. "Tie me up." Jessica paused for a moment and realized what he had just asked. She hurried to button up her blazer and then walked toward Lucas. Jessica looked up at Lucas. He wasn't making any moves. Thus, Jessica walked over and tied him up. Jessica actually didn't have much strength, and her body was uncomfortably hot. She used all her strength to bind Lucas' wrists tightly. After tying him up, Jessica stepped back and kept her distance from Lucas. She leaned against the wall and looked at Lucas. "Done." Lucas only opened his eyes when he heard that. He didn't look at Jessica and turned to the bathroom. "I'll stay in the bathroom. Leave me alone." Jessica didn't respond. She didn't collapse on the floor until she heard the door of the bathroom close. Jessica

Jessica tried to list all her enemies in the past year. But still, she had no clue. Jessica collected her thoughts and looked up at Lucas. "That's strange. You know all of those who hate me and dare to plot me." Lucas understood what she meant, and his face darkened. "I'll look into it." "I see." Jessica responded. She looked at the remote control on the table and picked it up. "It's a bit cold." "You may raise the temperature." Jessica didn't respond. Lucas gazed at her but didn't speak, either. The room fell silent. They then heard a noise outside the door. Jessica glanced at Lucas and said, "They've come to open the door." "Yes." Lucas looked at Jessica and rose from the sofa. When the door was kicked open, both Jessica and Lucas were dumbstruck. The man who kicked the door was surprised to see them, too. "What?" The hotel manager turned around to the man behind him, who had claimed that her cou

Vincent did not dare to ask, but reached out and handed the bag of clothes to Lucas. "Your clothes, Mr. Thomas." Vincent not only did not dare to ask, but he also did not dare to look around. Half an hour ago, he received a call from Lucas. He had been serving Lucas for years. How could he miss the suppressed anger in Lucas' voice? Lucas did not say much on the phone. He just told Vincent to bring a clean set of clothes to the hotel. Vincent felt nervous along the way. Now that he saw Lucas, he was even more uneasy. Apparently, something terrible had happened. As for what it was, Vincent had a wild guess. Lucas was probably tricked into something last night. Lucas had always hated these tricks. Lucas' father used a trick like this as an excuse for his affair back then. That was why Lucas was so furious four years ago. That was why he never really cared about Jessica after marrying her. Yet, this time, the same thing ha

Hannah parked the car, got out, and felt an indescribable fatigue throughout her body.Some words were not so difficult to say, and some things were not so difficult to make decisions about.From the beginning until now, nearly five years of time, everything has come to an end.She kicked off her shoes, slumped onto the couch, and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought as she recalled the night she first met Dominic.It was probably because of the bright lights that she was able to catch a hint of something in his icy gaze.From then on, I fell into it and followed him around day after day.Actually, if you think about it carefully, Dominic did remind her.He had said it many times before, he was not a good person, and definitely not a suitable match.But she was too young and naive back then, thinking that she had money and free time, it was just a matter of dating, what could he deceive her with.It has been proven that the person who falls in love first is destined to lose.She had

Hannah stopped the car directly, and the villa's gate was already wide open. Her car was parked right at the entrance of the villa, which looked quite strange.Just as a car happened to pass by, with its window open, the person in the passenger seat looked at Hannah and Foster, clearly unable to understand.A car passed by, Hannah didn't speak, and the other person didn't speak either.Rare understanding, but this understanding is not without irony.The car drove away, and the sound of the engine became increasingly faint. Until the end, it completely disappeared. Only then did Hannah walk towards Foster and said, "Ten minutes, let's cut to the chase."Hannah spoke, rarely straightforward.The dim street lamp reflected on her face, adding a touch of beauty, but also magnifying Hannah's coldness at that moment.Foster had a bad feeling, and he didn't really know what he could say. The few sentences he kept repeating, even if Hannah hadn't grown tired of hearing them, he himself was sta

Eden held his phone, the lights outside the car window flickering across his face, only revealing his cold and solemn expression.The secretary on the side dared not utter a word, and the atmosphere in the carriage was quiet and stifling.Until they reached the hotel entrance, Eden's complexion only slightly recovered, but it still wasn't good.After all, Foster, whom we were going to meet later, was also an annoying character.Eden had a meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon. After the meeting, he hurriedly rushed to the airport to board the plane. The airplane meal didn't suit his taste, so he didn't touch it at all.Until now, at 9 o'clock in the evening, Eden had not taken a single bite of food.The secretary cautiously suggested, "Mr. Howell, would you like someone to prepare food for you?"Eden glanced at him and said, "No need."After seeing Foster, he probably had enough of being angry, so there was no point in eating anything.The secretary didn't have much else to say, s

Kendall raised her hand to shield her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, but she didn't speak again.Hannah didn't know what to say, she was just feeling quite awkward.I don't know how long it had been, but Kendall finally spoke again, "I didn't force you."Upon hearing his words, Hannah couldn't help but laugh, saying, "So... thank you?"Kendall ignored her sarcasm and said, "It seems like you have already figured out how to handle it, so I won't meddle in your affairs anymore."He said, as he stood up, "The matter of getting married is not urgent. If you feel it's too sudden, I can also go step by step."Hannah's alarm bells rang loudly as soon as she heard his words: "Your going by the book won't be the way I understand it, right?""It should be."He looked at her, raised his eyebrows, and smiled, "I'm leaving."He said these words, but his feet didn't move at all.Hannah looked at him and said, "Didn't you say you were leaving?""Don't you give me a farewell hug?"Hannah th

So many people, but Jessica still knew Hannah the best.Hannah made this trip and also came to know her own thoughts.She arrived early, and Jessica started chatting with her before she had breakfast. They chatted for about half an hour, and when they walked out of the living room, Terry was already getting ready to take Kelvin to kindergarten.Seeing Jessica come out, Kelvin stood at the door unwilling to leave.Jessica had to go over and give her son a hug, and then she kissed him: "Be good, Dad will take you to kindergarten."Kelvin glanced at Hannah and said, "Okay, goodbye mom, goodbye godmother!"Hannah awkwardly waved her hand and said, "Goodbye to the Winter Solstice!"In the past, it was always both mom and dad who would take him to kindergarten, but today only Terry took him. Kelvin, the little boy, had a sad expression on his face when he left.Jessica waved her hand, exchanged a glance with Terry, and turned around to say, "You haven't sorted out things with Foster, should

Upon hearing his words, Foster's expression immediately darkened, "How does Mr. Hawthorne know that there won't be any accidents?"Kendall looked up and met his gaze, giving a slight smile. "Even if there were any unexpected events, it doesn't matter. It's just a matter of time.""You didn't love her.""How did you know?"Two men stood silently facing each other, the surroundings eerily quiet, even the air felt tense.Kendall's rhetorical question said it all. Foster's face remained as still as water, but neither of them wanted to admit defeat, so they silently held their ground.It was unclear how much time had passed when Kendall spoke first, "Mr. Carroway, you are a smart man. It would be effortless for Hannah's parents to uncover the truth about your family's affairs. And as for deceiving Hannah, there is no need to mention it. What do you think, what do you have to compete with me?"This statement was like a blow to the head, every word Kendall said was a hit.Foster stood there,

Hannah sat in the living room for what seemed like a long time. After a while, she finally snapped out of it and picked up a can of beer from the table. She started drinking it, sip by sip.She actually didn't like to drink beer, but it was still better than drinking white wine.After finishing a can of beer, Hannah wanted to open a second one. She grabbed the beer and pulled on the metal ring, which broke off immediately.It couldn't be opened.She placed the beer on the table and lost interest in continuing to drink.The beer was not placed steadily, and after it fell, it rolled a few times and directly dropped under the table.Hannah looked as the beer rolled to her feet, feeling a bit absent-minded.After a while, she picked up her phone and made a call.Kendall had just arrived at the hotel when he saw Hannah's call, and he was quite surprised: "Rarely do you call me on your own initiative."A few days ago, his numb

Hannah bit her lip and stared straight at him.Foster felt as if his heart had been heavily hammered in his chest, "No, it's not."He looked at Hannah, wanting to speak and explain, but he realized that his justifications seemed so powerless in the face of Hannah's questioning voice.He did not consider the idea of fooling Hannah as a fool, he just didn't think about letting her know those things.But these words, when he spoke them, had no meaning.In those silent moments, Hannah had a touch of innocence, innocently waiting for him to speak.However, besides silence, it was still silence.When the tears fell, she suddenly laughed.The once quiet villa suddenly echoed with her laughter, which seemed inexplicably frightening."Isn't it? You told me your name was Dominic, but now you're telling me it's Foster. When I first met you, you were just a club waiter, and now you've transformed into the United States CEO of Kangse

The sky was hazy tonight, with no stars and the moon not being full.Hannah got on the car, lowered the window, lit a cigarette, leaned back in the seat, and didn't immediately drive away.Her car was parked in a parking space by the roadside. At that time, there were plenty of parking spaces and no one was urging her to leave.The lady felt that the cigarette was lacking in taste. She didn't feel like smoking it anymore halfway through, so she extinguished it, wrapped it in a tissue, and put it aside. Hannah fastened her seatbelt and then drove away.As the car turned into the villa, there happened to be a 24-hour convenience store. Hannah stopped the car and went inside. Inside, there were several high school boys, leaning on each other's shoulders, drinking beverages and chatting about interesting things at school.Several boys visibly paused when they saw Hannah.Hannah glanced at them, and one of the boys immediately blushed.Hannah looked and found it funny. She smirked, chuckle
