  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.

      "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

      Justin looked at Lucas with disappointment. He said, "I've already made a plan for you and Jessica. I'm going to New York in a few days.  "I will meet with Jessica's parents and apologize to them. Also, I will discuss the remarriage plan with them, too.  "We didn't know that Jessica was Morgan's daughter, so we never paid attention to the formalities. This time, we have to be polite!  "And you. You should propose to Jessica as soon as possible. If she refuses, you may try using a little trick. I've got a perfect excuse for you. Tell you I'm dying and your wedding is on top of my bucket list. You can say it's just a wedding, only to fulfill my last wish."  Lucas' eyes turned cold as he learned about Justin's idea. "Grandpa, I don't want to remarry Jessica."  With that, Justin slapped Lucas in the face. "Do you think you have a say in this? Ever since you divorced Jessica, people never stopped judging the Thomas family.  "The Davison family never

      At night, the Thomas villa was very quiet. Lucas returned to his car and lowered his head to light a cigarette.  He thought of Jessica and Terry in the photos he had just seen. He didn't know what they were talking about. Jessica was smiling, and Terry was right beside her. He lowered his head slightly. They didn't get too close, but still, Lucas felt a throb in his heart.  His heart was aching.  Suddenly, a car drove into the parking lot. The remote light was cast over. Lucas narrowed his eyes and came back to his senses. He snuffed out his cigarette and started the car.  The car slowly drove out of the villa area. Half an hour later, Lucas' black car stopped outside Jessica's apartment.  Lucas was about to get out of the car when a familiar car drove over. The person sitting on the other side of the half—open window was Terry.  Lucas froze for a moment and his face darkened.  Ever since Jessica and Lucas had been snapped in the hot

      When Judy heard Jessica's words, her face changed as she looked around in a panic. Finding herself in a hotel room, Judy breathed a sigh of relief secretly.  Judy calmed herself down. She looked at Jessica and said, "Jessica, we didn't know each other before. And I am grateful to you for helping me that day. How can I ever fool you?"  "Is that so? Then how do you explain the money you received? The man who put on a show with you that day also received money from the same account."  Jessica wore a smile on her face, but Judy felt even more afraid.  "It has nothing to do with you," Judy replied, looking a little bit guilty.  "Looks like you won't admit your mistake." Jessica chuckled and continued, "But it doesn't matter. Your answer is not important. Do you think I will just wait until you admit it?"  "W—What are you going to do? This is Los Angeles! You can't detain anyone! That's illegal!" When Judy heard Jessica's words, she suddenly had

      Hearing what Wendy said, Judy was stunned on the spot.  What did Jessica's secretary say just now?  Judy had never thought that Jessica could be so capable and cruel.  Wendy brought the two bodyguards out of the room and repeated Jessica's words to them. "You guys wait outside. You can leave when that man enters the room. Remember, she is not allowed to leave this room tonight. Understood?"  The task was not difficult. The two men found it easy to earn a thousand dollars this evening. They quickly nodded. "Understood."  Wendy nodded and walked into the elevator.  Jessica received a call from Hannah as soon as she walked out of the hotel.  "Jess, are you done yet? I have 'invited' Grace to Cloud Top. Mona has had her stay in a private room on the third floor. No guests there today."  "Alright, I'll be there soon." Jessica raised her eyebrows.  After hanging up the phone, Jessica got into her car and drove straight to Cloud Top.

    "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
