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
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.
