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 hadHearing 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
Jessica rolled down half of the window. She could feel both the warm breeze from outside and the cold air in the car at the same time. Jessica could only feel a heat wave when she had just opened the window. But soon, Jessica found the breeze outside more comfortable than the air blown from the air conditioner. The night wind was strong. With the window open, Jessica was quite sober for the whole night. The light turned red, so Lucas stopped the car. Lucas tilted his head and looked at Jessica. "Where are we going?" Jessica checked the time. It was already late. It was almost ten o'clock at night. It was too late for them to chat over a meal. It was not proper either, given their current relationship. Thus, Jessica chose an open place. "Let's go to Griffith Park." "Sure." Lucas replied, and Jessica did not say anything else. Lucas was never talkative. Though he did want to talk to Jessica at that moment,
Lucas was lost for words for a while, and he looked a little helpless. He then turned to look at Jessica's cold face and changed the topic. "I'll drive you back." "Don't worry. I'll take a taxi. It will be here in five minutes." Jessica gave Lucas no excuse to keep her. "Mr. Thomas, we have divorced, but your sister still hates my guts. She has been making trouble for me time and time again. I am not good—tempered. I will deal with those who schemed against me, so I don't need your oral support." Lucas looked at Jessica as she turned around, and his golden eyes darkened. "Jessica," said Lucas. Hearing Lucas' voice, Jessica stopped, but she did not look back. She didn't lie to Lucas. She had called for a taxi, and it was almost here. "Do you feel nothing for me now?" Jessica was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Lucas, who had always been cold—hearted, would ask such a question. Jessica turned to look
Jessica returned home and washed up. Then she lay in bed. What Lucas said tonight and before they got divorced constantly appeared in Jessica's mind, intertwined. She remembered a young boy's shirt blown by the wind eleven years ago when she got unconscious. It suddenly occurred to Jessica that she might not have noticed Lucas over and over again, or even fallen in love with him, had Lucas not been the person who saved her that day. But there was no if. During those three years, Jessica always remembered that day when she wanted to give up. She always believed that Lucas was a gentle person despite his cruel face. However, she ended up divorcing Lucas before Lucas revealed his tender heart to her. They had been divorced for a year, but Jessica suddenly knew that Lucas loved her. Jessica flipped over on the bed, her tears streaming down uncontrollably. She was never a sentimental person and had hardly cried since her childhood
"I'm here for you." Lucas immediately frowned. He didn't like it when Jessica talked to him in such a polite manner. "I'm sorry. I still have something to do today. Excuse me." Jessica smiled and was about to leave. "Then I'll give you a lift." Lucas raised his hand to check the time on his watch and then pointed to the car next to him. Jessica raised her eyebrows and said casually, "No need. It's out of your way." "You didn't even tell me where you were going. How do you know I wasn't on the way?" Lucas' low and charming voice carried a hint of grievance. Jessica felt a little helpless. Couldn't Lucas see that she was refusing him? Jessica said with a smile, "I'll repeat, there's no need. Mr. Thomas, aren't you busy? Don't you need to spend time running the Thomas Group?" Lucas' eyes darkened. He was just about to say something when Wendy walked out of the company and came to Jessica. Wendy glanced at Lucas, then turned her
When Jessica arrived at the Sharp Technology, Terry was still in a meeting.Jerry saw her coming and was a little surprised, "Mrs. Davison."Jessica had been called Miss Hall for over a year when she was suddenly called Mrs. Davison, and she felt a little embarrassed.However, Jessica didn't show any reaction and just nodded, saying, "You go ahead and do your thing, I'll just wait here.""Okay, I had someone prepare some food for you."Jessica thought for a moment and didn't refuse, “Thank you for your hard work."Jerry left with the door, leaving Jessica alone in the office.Soon, Jerry's assistant brought in some pastries and tea, “Mrs. Davison, if you need anything, you can tell me."Jessica looked at the half table of stuff and shook her head, "No need, you can go and do your own thing.""Okay, Mrs. Davison."This was not Jessica's first time coming to Terry's office, but it was her first time coming to Terry's office after getting married.Jerry had someone prepare a lot of food.
Jessica stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Larkspur. They were standing a little over two meters apart, and she just stood there without any intention of approaching. "Really? But I don't know what else I can do to help you."If it were in the past, Larkspur would have already cursed Jessica in response to her words. But today, she did come for a reason, so she could only pretend not to understand the sarcasm in Jessica's words, “This matter, indeed, only you can help me."Jessica pursed her lips and said, "So it seems like you didn't just happen to pass by and see me, you came here on purpose, didn't you?"Jessica directly pointed out her purpose, and Larkspur awkwardly smiled, "I did come to find you today."Upon hearing her words, Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "If you came to see me for business matters, I think you should make an appointment with my secretary. I just told you earlier that I have a meeting later, and I am tired right now. I don't want to hear anythi
Jessica was indeed sober, and she obediently loosened her mouth upon hearing his words.The couple had not had any intimate moments since they found out about the pregnancy. One reason was their busy schedule, and the other was that it was not suitable during the early stages of pregnancy.After two months, although it couldn't be completely enjoyable, it could be considered a slight relief.Coming out of the bathroom, Jessica's face was all flushed.After she became pregnant, she particularly enjoyed holding Terry. She didn't know why, but she just felt that holding him was very comfortable and joyful.Terry carried the person to the bed and laid them down. Seeing her looking at him, his eyes darkened, "Hmm?""I wanted to drink water."She spoke and subconsciously pursed her lips.The aftertaste had not yet faded, and Jessica's lips were tinged with red from the inside out. With a slight pursing, she resembled a peach blossom in March, glistening with dew.Terry looked and swallowed
After dinner, the two of them went downstairs for a walk.On a warm evening in mid-May in LA, Jessica spent an hour leisurely strolling outside. When she returned home, her back was covered in a thin layer of sweat.She was not someone who was afraid of heat, but this year she inexplicably became afraid of heat.Terry handed her a cup of warm water and walked into the kitchen with the newly bought watermelon.Jessica sat on the couch, still sweating, and she didn't feel like moving, not even to drink water.The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and it was pleasantly cool. After sitting for a while, she gradually recovered.I got up and walked to the kitchen to wait for Terry to juice the watermelon. Nearly ten kilograms of watermelon is too much for two people to finish. So we juiced two cups of watermelon juice and there was still half of the watermelon left. Terry was scooping out watermelon balls.Jessica had used the small tool and watched Terry digging. She couldn't help
Caspian and Astrid watched as Jerry entered the room. The two exchanged a glance, and Astrid spoke first, "I did as you instructed..."Is it that she is going to be blamed for what is happening now?Caspian looked at Astrid and asked, "How do you think I should talk to the president?"Astrid smirked and said, "How would I know?"Astrid was thinking about whether to sell Caspian, but in the company, the decision-making power is currently in Caspian's hands. She is just a junior minister, so even if she sells Caspian, she won't gain any benefits.Caspian looked at Astrid and was also thinking about how to push her out and make her take the blame.But he also knew that Astrid would not willingly take the blame.If he had pushed Astrid to take the blame, Astrid would have turned around and exposed their affair, and he wouldn't have been able to get away with it.Weighing the pros and cons, Caspian couldn't come up with a perfect solution, “It's getting late, let's go back and rest. I will
The woman left quickly, Terry brushed off the coldness on his face, and looked back at Jessica in the video on his phone, saying, "She's gone."Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "You were quite lucky."Terry knew that she did it on purpose, but just smiled and said, "Shouldn't you go take a shower?"Jessica got off work today and it was almost ten o'clock when she returned to her apartment. She had a video call with Terry for a while, and at this time, it was indeed time to take a shower."Got it, I'll hang up first.""Okay, let me know after you have finished taking a shower.""Um."As the screen went black, Terry's face also turned cold. He immediately dialed Jerry's phone number.Jerry was also just about to take a shower when he suddenly received a call from Terry. The alarm bell rang loudly, "Mr. Davison?""Come over."Realizing that things were not simple, Jerry didn't dare to delay, “Okay, I will come to your room right away."After hanging up the phone, Jerry didn't even ta
Jessica immediately blocked the number, and Terry, who was standing beside her, asked, "What happened?""The high school classmate I ran into at the hospital entrance this morning."Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "So how did they manage to blacken someone?"Jessica glanced at him and snorted, "He doesn't look like a good person."Terry wanted to say something, but the green light ahead turned on.He averted his gaze and started the car to move forward.When I got home, Hannah happened to send a message asking when she and Terry were planning to go on their honeymoon.Hannah didn't know that she was pregnant, and Jessica didn't plan on letting so many people know right now.Terry also planned not to have an excessive honeymoon. They will go again next month, as it has only been just over three months since their wedding. It is better to be cautious.She naturally couldn't say this to Hannah, so Jessica had to come up with the excuse that she was busy lately and postponed the honeymo
Larkspur hadn't heard any news about Jessica for several years after graduation, and she always thought that Jessica must have been doing poorly, which was why she didn't dare to show up.So when she saw the man getting out of the Cadillac just now, she instinctively felt that he was Jessica's husband.Moreover, Jessica's gaze just now was also directed towards that direction.And that man was tall and thin, and he didn't look bad either.However, Terry walked towards Jessica step by step, and Larkspur, looking at the eye contact between the two, instantly knew that he had just made a mistake.She looked at Terry and felt that he looked familiar.Not to mention the familiarity in her eyes, Terry's face truly made her jealous of Jessica. And if she wasn't mistaken, the man had just gotten out of a Maybach.Thinking of these things, Larkspur's complexion turned a bit pale.Terry walked up to Jessica and asked, "What's wrong?"Jessica shook her head and glanced at Larkspur, "It's nothing
After taking a break for the whole day, Jessica woke up the next day feeling refreshed and energized.Today happened to be the day for her to go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, so both she and Terry woke up quite early.May and Morgan were also concerned about her prenatal check-up today. Early in the morning, May called to ask if Jessica needed company.She also knew that the newlywed couple naturally wanted to spend some time alone together.However, Jessica became pregnant and there were some places where Terry, being a man, couldn't accompany her for the check-ups. May was worried that Jessica would feel anxious by herself.Jessica didn't want May to accompany her to the hospital, even though she was only twelve weeks pregnant and the prenatal check-up was not complicated. However, the hospital was crowded and the waiting time was long. On their wedding day, both Jessica and Terry had a hard time, and her parents also went through a lot of hardship. So she didn't want May
