"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 happenLucas' 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.
"It has nothing to do with Terry!" Grace immediately replied. Then, she paused for a moment and realized that she had made a mistake. Grace looked grim as she shut her mouth. "So you drugged me because of Terry?" Jessica asked, "Do you like Terry?" Grace froze for a moment. "Yes, I like him. So what? I did visit him before, but I told him that it didn't matter if he refused to go on a date with me. I just need him to help me by being my rumored boyfriend. It's all your fault. I lost my job because he refused to do it! He said you never like a playboy!" Grace thought of it and got a horrible expression on her face. "When he mentioned you, he looked so gentle! I heard many times that he was pursuing you in the past few months, but you are not good enough for him." Jessica looked at her. When Grace finished, Jessica raised her eyebrows and said, "So Miss Sandoval, thank you for doing me a favor." Jessica chuckled and lowered her head. "I didn't know
"What's up?" Jessica asked, not wanting to dwell on the subject. Jessica suddenly felt a headache and could not help but raise her hand to rub her forehead. "Are you drunk?" Terry, who was next to her, asked. Jessica glanced at him and nodded. "A little. I had a glass of freshly made fruit cocktail," Jessica said. "Give me your hand," Terry said. Terry helped Jessica to the door. Jessica looked at the palm that Terry had reached out to her and hesitated. But before Jessica made up her mind, Terry had already pulled her hand and pressed her index finger against the doorknob. With a beep, the door opened. Then Terry pushed the door open and helped Jessica in. "Just sit here," Terry said. Jessica was taken to the sofa, and she tilted her head to look at Terry, who was walking toward the kitchen. Terry was slowly undoing the cufflinks of his shirt. The muscles on Terry's forearms were even more burly and more
Hannah walked around downstairs and then went back up.Just as she arrived at the door of the ward, she heard Gemma say this.She pursed her lips and walked in as Gemma was about to speak again.Seeing her come in, Gemma naturally swallowed her words.Kendall cut the peeled apple into small pieces and handed them to Gemma with a small knife.Gemma glanced at Hannah and said, "Does Hannah want to eat grapes? There are still plenty of fruits in the fridge."All of them were brought by people who came to visit her, but she couldn't eat much. Most of them were given to the caregiver auntie."I'm not eating, Gemma. I didn't have much of an appetite today."She took an apple from Kendall's hand, sat on the edge of the bed, and started eating with her head down.Gemma looked at her, looked for a while, and suddenly called out to her, "Hannah.""What's wrong, Gemma?"Gemma took off the bracelet in her hand, took Kendall's hand, and put it inside her hand: "This was left to me by Kendall's gra
Hannah did sleep quite long this time, and when she woke up, it was already past ten o'clock.After burning all night, I woke up feeling tired and hungry.She furrowed her brow, got out of bed and pulled open the curtains, only to find that the sun was already shining brightly.Hannah took out her phone and checked the time.It was half past ten, did you sleep for so long?She felt uncomfortable with dry lips and a dry mouth, so she quickly went to the bathroom to freshen up, and then went downstairs to pour herself a glass of water to drink.Just as Hannah reached the halfway point of the stairs, she bumped into Georgia who was going up.Seeing that she woke up, Georgia quickly walked to her side and asked, "How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"Hannah shook her head, "I was a little thirsty."Although she was not feeling uncomfortable, her voice became hoarse and unclear as soon as she spoke.Georgia felt sorry and said, "I will pour it for you!"Hannah wanted to say no
Hannah came downstairs after taking a shower, and Kendall was already eating at the dining table.Georgia was cooking ginger soup in the kitchen. When she saw Hannah and Kendall coming down, she served two bowls of ginger soup. She gave one bowl to Hannah and the other to Kendall, saying, "Have some food to line your stomach, and then have a few sips of ginger soup to warm up."Hannah took a sip of soup and said, "Mom, how can I catch a cold so easily on such a hot day? The ginger soup also tastes too strong, I don't want to drink it."Georgia gave her a glare and said, "If it wasn't cold, you wouldn't have caught a cold, would you?"Hannah glanced at Kendall, not daring to refute Georgia's words.Finally, under the supervision of Georgia, they both still drank the ginger soup.After all the fuss, it was almost twelve o'clock now.Georgia and Jaylen couldn't hold on any longer, so they were told to go to their rooms and rest, with the advice to go to sleep early.After their parents l
"Wait, don't rush to speak. Let me finish first, don't make Kendall anxious by turning back."Hannah was about to hang up the phone when she heard Georgia's words, so she had to pick up the phone again. "Mom, how is Gemma doing specifically? Do we need to come back immediately?""She was doing fine for the time being, don't worry Kendall. The doctor suggested that she undergo surgery. Talk to Kendall and see if you can both make a trip back in the next few days.""Okay, hang up the phone now and take care of yourself.""Mom, you took care of yourself too, I knew it."After hanging up the phone, Hannah sent a message to Kendall on Line, asking if he was available at the moment and if so, to reply to her message.Just finished the dinner party, Kendall, walking halfway, glanced at the secretary in front and said, "You go wait for me in the car."The secretary saw him pick up his phone and make a call, nodded, and tactfully walked out of the hotel to find a driver.Kendall walked to one
Kendall took the box and didn't leave immediately, "Don't you want the beads either?"Hannah glanced at him and said, "What, you wanted it?""I had no interest in this."She hummed and said, "That's it."Hannah paused and said, "No, let's not have it. Otherwise, someone will get jealous, and the whole room will be filled with sourness."Kendall looked at her triumphant expression, raised his hand and directly wrapped it around her shoulder, pressing her into his arms. He lowered his head and fiercely kissed her unyielding mouth.He originally just wanted to give a kiss, but ended up getting a little carried away.The box in my hand fell directly to the ground with a "clatter" sound. The unsecured lid of the box was knocked open, and the bead inside rolled out onto the ground, dripping and ticking.Hannah took a glance and watched the bead rolling to the bottom of the coffee table. She shifted her gaze away and willingly embraced Kendall who was in front of her.The two of them became
After hanging up the phone, Hannah stood there for a moment before letting Sophia in.Today, there wasn't much work at the company, so Hannah basically slacked off.In comparison, a group of employees who were busy with offline activities were extremely busy.Hannah was looking around in the office, feeling quite embarrassed, so she decided to leave early.Kendall was also relatively free today, so I messaged her at noon, asking if she wanted to go out for dinner together.Hannah checked the time and it wasn't early, it was already five o'clock.She went downstairs and hailed a taxi to Harrington Group. The front desk at the lobby recognized Hannah and quickly brought her a glass of water when they saw her sitting on the couch. "Ms. Howell," they said."Thank you."Hannah glanced at the person, took out her phone, and sent a text message to Kendall.It was already 5:20 now, and she had just sent the message not long ago. Kendall replied to her, "Wait a moment, I'll come down in half a
When Kendall received the report, he glanced at Hannah, probably displeased with Gemma coming to see Hannah. His expression was somewhat indifferent.Hannah sat down on the side and waited for him to finish reading the report before communicating.Kendall opened the report, and her gaze fell on the words "malignant tumor." Her eyes noticeably darkened.The living room, where no one was speaking, was so quiet that the sound of their breathing could be heard. Hannah pursed her lips and was about to speak when Kendall turned his head towards her and said, "Why did she give you this?"Hannah roughly translated Gemma's words from yesterday, saying, "It wasn't anything major, she originally told me not to tell you about this, and then she said, 'I hope when we get married, she can come and see it in person.'"Hannah couldn't figure out what Kendall thought of Gemma, and she didn't feel comfortable giving advice on such matters.Without experiencing hardships themselves, one should not advis
Gemma had liver cancer, and it was already in the fourth stage.Hannah felt that Gemma was now throwing this difficult problem at her. She told her not to tell Kendall, but how could she possibly not tell him.The originally good mood was ruined by Gemma's sudden appearance.Hannah neatly stacked the report cards and set them aside before bringing the takeout to the kitchen counter.Hannah had a poor appetite, she only took a few bites and closed it, then she carried a glass of water upstairs.At half past nine, Kendall gave her a voice call.Hannah hesitated on whether to tell Kendall about this now or wait until he came back.She was thinking about something and couldn't hear what Kendall said on the phone."Hannah? Hannah?"Kendall looked at the person on the phone screen and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Hannah?"He shouted again.At that moment, Hannah finally came to her senses.She looked at Kendall on the phone screen with a complex expression and asked, "When can you c
It had been over half a month since that day, and Hannah was quite surprised to see Madelynn again.She didn't pay special attention to Madelynn's affairs, but her situation was really making a big fuss. People in the circle would occasionally discuss it, and she couldn't help but overhear.A few days ago, Hollis said that Madelynn's dad was suspended, Madelynn broke up with Derick, and she disappeared for a while, and no one knew where she went.I never thought I would meet you today.There was also a man standing next to Madelynn, Hannah looked at him and he seemed unfamiliar, he probably wasn't someone from their circle.Hannah didn't say hello either, she just glanced and then looked away.She handed the coat she had taken off to Kendall, who took it and led her again. The two of them walked out directly.Madelynn turned around and glanced at Hannah's back. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to speak up and called out to her, "Ms. Howell."Hannah paused, turned back, and l
