  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 knew that Jessica was unharmed, so she didn't stay long at Jessica's place.  After Hannah left, Jessica grabbed something to eat and took a nap. By the time she woke up, it was already afternoon.  She felt much better now. Thus, Jessica decided to drive to a boutique. Lucas tore the collar of her dress apart yesterday. She needed a new one.  Jessica's apartment, located in an expensive area in LA, was quite posh with good privacy. She didn't have to worry about being snapped there.  With a sound, the elevator came to a halt. Jessica walked into the underground garage.  She turned a corner, and she immediately saw Lucas standing in front of her car.  It had only been a few hours since they parted. Jessica wondered what brought Lucas here.  Besides, Jessica didn't understand why Lucas had decided to wait in the garage rather than going upstairs and knocking on her door.  "Mr. Thomas. Why are you standing there? You are not askin

      "I do have a question for you." Terry put down the pizza in his hand as well.  "Which is?"  "You and Lucas, did you really get back together?"  Jessica didn't expect that question from Terry. She was dumbfounded at first and then chuckled. "What does this have to do with you, Mr. Davison?"  Terry did not answer the question. He placed the glass on the table, and then stood up and said to Jessica with a smile, "I think I'll leave you to a good rest."  "You may see yourself out, Mr. Davison," said Jessica, following Terry to the door.  "Jessica." Terry opened the door and suddenly stopped. He looked at Jessica and asked, "If the person four years ago hadn't been Lucas, would you still have married him?"  "What are you suggesting?" Jessica's voice turned cold.  Terry looked at Jessica. "I'm not suggesting anything. I'm only curious. If that man hadn't been Lucas, would you still have married him?"  "Terry, you know something about

      Hearing that, Lucas looked even more sullen. He then had a quick review of what had happened the other day.  He attended a private gathering between the Thomas family and the Hartley family that day. The chosen restaurant was private property owned by Hari's family. It was rarely opened to the public. The Hartley family only treated their friends and business partners there.  During the gathering, Lucas had only taken a glass of wine Hari poured him.  And that glass was never out of Lucas' sight.  Besides that, Lucas had only accepted a bottle of water from Olivia when he was about to leave.  He happened to be thirsty then, so he took a sip.  Lucas recalled that and his face darkened.  He picked up his car key and left the company.  Lucas drove back to the Thomas villa soon after.  That was when the Thomas family had just had their breakfast.  Lucas went upstairs directly to Olivia's door and knocked on it.  Olivia

      "No! Don't call the police!" Olivia ran to Lucas, crying, and grabbed Lucas by the arm.  Lucas flung her away in disgust. Olivia stumbled two steps and fell to the ground.  Rebecca finally realized what was going on here. She thought Olivia was joking about patching things up between Lucas and Jessica. But Rebecca never thought that Olivia would actually do it.  Justin also had a rough picture of the whole story.  Justin had originally put pressure on Rebecca in hopes that she would become the mediator. He chose Rebecca simply because she was the only one in the Thomas family who never had any conflicts with Jessica.  However, Rebecca proved to be useless. Not only was she rejected by Jessica many times, but she leaked her task to Olivia.  "If I don't turn you over to the police, I have no idea what wrong you will do next." Lucas held Olivia's wrist tightly and dragged her to the door.  "Lucas, where are you going? She is your sister!" Reb

     "Then what do you want? Turn her over to the police? In that case, the reputation of our family would be ruined!"  Justin's face turned grim when he heard Lucas.  Justin continued, "It has already happened. If it weren't for Olivia, something even worse might have happened to Jessica."  "What are you suggesting?" Lucas looked at Justin and waited for him to continue.  "Since you and Jessica have been snapped together, why don't you two take the opportunity to get married again?" Justin said.  "Do you think Jessica will agree?" Lucas said self—teasingly.  Especially when Olivia was involved in the whole thing again. Jessica was so tired of Olivia's dirty tricks.  "I told you long ago that you have to learn from Terry. When you are chasing a girl, how can you give up easily? You have to let go of your attitude first. Then treat her nicely. Gradually, things will work out. Besides, you two had a history. You can do it. As for what happen

      Lucas' eyes flicked after he heard Jessica's words.  Lucas knew what was on Jessica's report. Olivia was not connected to Grace, so Jessica couldn't have known that Olivia was involved in it.  Lucas remained silent, so Jessica asked, "What are you going to do, Mr. Thomas?"  Seeing how calm Jessica was, Lucas said, "Looks like you already know about Grace."  Jessica nodded.  Lucas added, "Do you need me to clarify it?"  "Nope. An explanation will only look like a cover—up." Jessica shook her head.  She paused and said, "I won't let her get away."  "Then I'll head out now." Lucas looked at Jessica. In the end, he didn't mention Olivia's part in the whole thing to Jessica.  At that moment, Lucas found himself vile.  He was so righteous in the Thomas villa, but when he saw Jessica, he became timid again.  A peaceful talk between him and Jessica was a luxury to Lucas now. He didn't dare to break the tranquility.

      After Jessica went home, she thought about what Terry had said. He made a good point.  No matter how daring Grace was, she wouldn't have had the guts to offend both the Hall family and the Thomas family at the same time.  Jessica had not been based in LA before, so it was understandable that Grace didn't take Jessica seriously.  But everyone knew that Lucas was the last person one would ever want to mess up with in LA.  What Terry said made Jessica have second thoughts about the whole thing. She had a hunch that something was wrong, but she just couldn't tell what exactly.  Thus, with a frown, Jessica called Wendy.  Wendy should still be working.  Wendy quickly answered the phone. Jessica smiled and said directly, "Good evening, Wendy. Sorry to disturb you. I hope you can help me further investigate the people around Grace."  "Miss Hall, is there anything wrong with the current result?"  Wendy didn't see this coming. But she so

After a moment, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, gritting his teeth, "No matter what, I am still his father!""It's hard to say, when a father doesn't act like a father, it's normal for the son to disown him.""Jaylen! Wasn't your comment too harsh?""Was it excessive?"Jaylen looked directly at Georgia, who glanced at Blaine and said, "It's not excessive."Some people, when they were sons, did not act like good sons. When they were husbands, they did not act like good husbands. When they were fathers, they did not act like good fathers. Now that they are old, they still want to rely on

    Hannah looked up at him and struggled to hold back her tears.After Eden put her in the car, closed the car door, took two steps back, and stood beside Georgia, they watched her.The car windows were wide open, and Hannah looked at her parents from inside the car. She had always believed that she wouldn't cry on a day like this, but her eyes turned red in an instant.I don't know why, even though it wasn't a long-distance marriage, Kendall and she were childhood sweethearts who knew each other inside out, but she still felt a bit melancholic.Maybe it's because after getting married, one would have two additional identities.However, Gemma has already passed away, and the mother-in-law relationship was completely non-existent for her.In the morning, Hannah was talking about Georgia, who had shallow eye sockets.

    Kendall saw Hannah nod and had already locked in four numbers.He pursed his lips and said, "Is it related to my birthday?"Hannah nodded again, and the only common number between their two birthdays was 2.Kendall did not ask the third question and directly gave the answer: 2.Mona laughed and said, "You guessed pretty accurately."Hannah drew another card, the questions could not be repeated, the two questions from earlier could not be asked again.But this didn't pose a challenge for Kendall, as he directly asked Hannah if the cards in her hand were unrelated to today's date.Today is October 17th, and he was able to eliminate three numbers all at once. If he was lucky, the answer would be among these three numbers.Hannah's expression changed, she pursed her lips, and then she spoke, "No."Kendall, however, suddenly laughed and said, "It was 7."The groom's confident words made the groomsmen behind him feel sk

    The members of the groom's party were eager for a quick resolution, and their first question was how many red envelopes it would take to open this door.If the gatekeeper was someone else, maybe the other person could have easily unlocked the gate by adding a few more codes.But the gatekeeper was Jessica, no matter how many red envelopes were handed to her, she remained unmoved.Finally, the people outside had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Ms. Hall, just tell us, how can we open this door today!"Jessica curved her lips and said slowly, "Simple, let Kendall speak."As soon as she finished speaking, Kendall outside the door spoke up, "What do you want?""I had no demands, I asked you three questions, and if your answers satisfied me, I would open the door and let you in.""You asked."Kendall was determined to open this door. Even if Jessica had asked three questions, or even thirty questions, he wouldn't have minded.

    Hannah rarely had insomnia, and she didn't fall asleep until almost 2 o'clock in the morning after lying down around ten o'clock.The next day, before six o'clock, Georgia woke me up. Her eyes couldn't open, and she kept yawning as she opened the door.Georgia was very puzzled when she saw her like this, "I let you go to bed before ten o'clock last night, why are you still so tired?"Hannah raised her hand and yawned, feeling guilty: "I went to bed after 11 o'clock, and I even woke up in the middle."Georgia sighed and said, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth, the makeup artist has arrived."Hannah was pushed into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror for a while before she started washing her face and brushing her teeth.Cold water splashed onto her face, and after coming out of the bathroom, she felt much more awake, but the drowsiness was still irresistible.The makeup artist and cameraman had arrived, and they were ju

    After saying that, Hannah only realized that her words were a bit straightforward.Her face grew hot and she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Shall we go to the cemetery this afternoon?"Kendall looked at her for a while before speaking, "Okay."Hannah was pregnant, so naturally she had to tell Gemma.If it had been discovered earlier, Gemma might have known about Hannah's pregnancy.But in this world, many things do not have "ifs". Some things just cannot be perfect.After the two of them had lunch at the Howell family, Hannah took a nap and then they left around two o'clock to go to the bridal shop to have the size altered.Afterwards, Hannah went to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of peonies, and she went to Western Cemetery with Kendall.After Gemma passed away, Kendall's grandfather had originally planned to take her back to their hometown for burial, considering that Gemma had spent her whole life trapped within

    Hannah was held by him for a while and felt a bit hot. Unable to resist, she pushed him lightly and said, "It's a bit hot."Upon hearing her words, Kendall placed her back on the bed and asked, "Did you tell Jaylen and them?"Hannah shook her head and said, "No, you're the dad, so of course I have to tell you first."She said, pausing for a moment, "I will tell them at dinner tonight.""Okay."Kendall looked down at her belly, but this month she didn't show at all, and there was nothing to see.He looked for a while and then said, "Go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."Hannah thought the same way, she didn't even know how long she had been pregnant.If we count from the last menstrual period, she has been pregnant for at least two months.In the past two months, she didn't feel anything at all.Hannah nodded and suddenly felt a bit tired, opening her mouth and yawning.Seeing her like this, Kendall g
