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.
"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
Jessica never expected Olivia to change her nature. When she knew Olivia was involved, she only felt disgusted, but not sad at all. What Jessica did mind was what Lucas had done. She thought Lucas could no longer harm her anymore. But when Jessica recalled that Lucas deliberately concealed the fact from her, she still felt bothered. The sting caused by Lucas made Jessica unable to fall asleep. The next day, Jessica invited Hannah to Cloud Top after work. Jessica rarely took the initiative to ask Hannah out. When Jessica entered the door, before she could reach Hannah's booth, a man came up to strike up a conversation. "Hey gorgeous, may I treat you to a drink?" Jessica glanced at him. She was in a bad mood today and didn't feel like arguing with the guy. Jessica pursed her lips and shook her head. "What drove you here today?" Hannah found it strange that Jessica took the initiative to ask her to come to Mona's nightclub. "Who
