  "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.

      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

    Julie looked up and said, "I will go and have a look."She turned around and ran over to Hannah's side, as she spoke.Just now, Hannah saw that there were crabs in the cage and curiously asked Jessica, "Will there be crabs in the cracks of these stones?"Julie hadn't really thought about it, but don't crabs usually like to hide in crevices in shallow water? So she casually replied, "Sure, if you want to catch one, go down and take a look for yourself."Hannah really rolled up her pants, went down the stream, and searched for crabs among the gaps in the rocks.The stream was clear, you could see to the bottom at a glance.Hannah didn't take long to find a crab. She was planning to catch it and show off to Jessica, but the crab ran too fast. She kept finding several others, but they all managed to escape.This time she saw a quite big one, and didn't want to let the crab just run away like that, so she shouted for Jessica.Julie

    Hannah was curious about everything, so when she saw that bamboo house, she pulled Julie and asked her all sorts of questions.Terry walked alongside Morgan and May, both of whom were quite advanced in age. Although the mountain was not very high and not difficult to climb, it still required physical effort, and the two of them fell behind by quite a bit.When they arrived in front of the bamboo house, Jessica and Hannah were already not inside the bamboo house.Terry poured the leftover tea for May and Morgan and pointed to the door of the bamboo house, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, Jessica said that Mr. Garrison found her in front of this bamboo house."Upon hearing Terry's words, Morgan's hand holding the teacup trembled.He also didn't care about drinking water anymore, and got up and walked to the front of the bamboo house.Just now they came up from the mountain and saw only a bamboo house amidst the lush greenery. There was a stream flowing n

    I have to say, the three questions that Hannah asked in a row were the same questions that Morgan and May were concerned about.Jessica lost her memory, and they all didn't want to put pressure on her.They only have one precious daughter. When they first learned about Jessica's accident, both of them were devastated. Now that they have finally found her, Morgan and May naturally want to bring Jessica back home.Just now, Jessica and Terry walked in, talking and laughing. Both of them felt quite emotional inside.At this moment, the person most eager to have Jessica return should be Terry, and the person most anxious for Jessica to regain her memory is also Terry.But Terry seemed to have no worries about these issues. As parents, they couldn't bear to see Jessica struggling."It's true that this place was a bit poor, but Jessica lived happily and was doing fine."May sighed and said, "It's true, Jessica was definitely raised on a ped

    Terry was clearly puzzled, "Will there be wild rabbits and pheasants on this mountain?"This side is all small hills, they are called mountains, but the altitude is not high, only about one or two hundred meters. It takes about three hours to go up from the foot of the mountain to the top slowly, and it takes a little over an hour to go up quickly.More than twenty years ago, it was not uncommon to see wild pheasants and wild rabbits. Given the current ecological environment, it is indeed quite unexpected to still have wild pheasants and wild rabbits.Julie looked at him and smiled, "What Roberto said, anyway, those who run in the mountains, nameless and faceless, what are they if not wild chickens and hares?""That's right."Terry thought that Roberto was indeed quite interesting. You said he was a bad person, but he didn't hesitate to save Jessica. You say he is a good person, but he is actually very "carefree".The two of them crossed the

    Terry paused for a moment, watching Jessica's figure disappear. It was only then that he noticed Roberto lying on the lounge chair about ten meters ahead.At that moment, the sun was scorching hot, and Roberto covered his face with a straw hat to shield it from the direct sunlight.Julie walked over and looked at the sun hat on Roberto's face, raising an eyebrow and shaking her ponytail. She took a few steps forward and pulled the fishing line hard.Feeling the fishing rod in his hand move, Roberto quickly sat up from the lounge chair."Old man, there was a fish on the hook!"Roberto saw her and snorted, "What are you here for?""I saw you fishing!"Roberto scoffed, "It was you who pulled the fishing line just now, right?""Don't accuse me wrongly, I didn't do it."Julie didn't admit it.Roberto heard the commotion from Terry's side, turned his head and saw Terry throwing a bamboo cage into the stream. He instinct

    Because Morgan and the others were still asleep, Julie had to leave a note on the table in the living room.Afterwards, she took Terry into the mountains.When the two of them were leaving, Lucas was still there. Seeing them leaving, he also followed along.Terry glanced at Jessica and didn't say anything.Julie paused and turned her head to look at Lucas. "Mr. Thomas, I suggest you go back and take care of your company. Although I have lost my memory and don't remember our past, I believe that since we got divorced, I must have had my reasons."She spoke, paused for a moment, and finally glanced at Lucas before bluntly adding, "Persistent pestering, it really lacks the grace of a man."Jessica before her amnesia had said something similar.With just one sentence, she left Lucas speechless.But he knew that Jessica had lost her memory, it was a second chance given to him by fate, even though he felt despicable in doing so.

    Julie walked into the backyard and saw the clothes thrown in the trash bin. She glanced at them and then carried the clothes into the bathroom.Julie finished taking a shower and washing her hair before going out. Hannah was sitting at the door of the west wing and when she saw Julie coming out, she got up and tried to cover up the truth, saying, "There are too many mosquitoes over there."She spoke and showed her arm that had been stung.Julie glanced and said, "There were many mosquitoes in the evening, I suggest you wear long sleeves."Their clothes were brought by a woman who drove over after the rain stopped. The woman seemed quite excited when she saw her, her eyes even turned red as she looked at Julie.But Julie couldn't remember anything, so she just nodded her head as a way of greeting.The clothes Wendy brought over were quite thoughtful, as she prepared several sets for each person.Hannah obediently went to change into lo

    Terry reacted quickly too. Upon hearing Jessica's words, he closed the box and threw it back into the pit.Julie hurriedly filled the soil back with a shovel. This box of gold, indeed, could not be exposed to light casually!She guessed that there were valuable things hidden inside, otherwise, during the few days she was unconscious and drugged, it couldn't possibly have been dug up by the old man going up the mountain.In the first few days after waking up, Roberto still made her drink medicine.Although Julie didn't have the ability to distinguish medicines, she could clearly recognize the thick ginseng placed in the kitchen.Although it is said that all ginseng nowadays has been cultivated, the one Roberto uses for medicinal purposes is mostly wild, and it grows so long. It must be quite expensive.It should be at least a few thousand, if not tens of thousands.This was just the money for a medicine, and later Roberto also bought h

    Hannah saw Terry coming and tactfully left the kitchen.Terry also glanced at Jessica and said, "I just saw a big yellow dog."Julie paused her action of scrubbing the pot and said, "Tsk, you're quite naughty too."Terry looked at her, his eyes twinkling with a smile. He didn't say anything, but Julie somehow understood what he meant from the look in his eyes.She averted her gaze and started heating up the pan.Roberto was very stingy. He didn't give her much money, even though he knew they were going to the market today.Julie had one hundred and fifty dollars in her pocket and wanted to buy everything. But after looking around, she paid eighty dollars for clothes, and she was left with seventy dollars in her hand.Fortunately, things in remote and impoverished areas were cheap. She bought several pounds of pork and pig bones. She originally wanted to buy chicken, but Roberto said there were wild chickens in the mountains. When she
