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
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
Jessica looked at Lucas from behind as he left, and she was unable to come back to her senses for a moment. Lucas' decision was unexpected to her, and Jessica even forgot to express her mockery. She had been married to Lucas for three years. She knew that Lucas was a man of his word. Jessica became curious if Lucas could succeed. After all, it was not easy to send Olivia away from the Thomas family. Jessica returned to her senses and turned towards the entrance to the Hall Group building. Lucas had given the shares to her, so she did not need to go to the Davison Group for further negotiation. As soon as she returned to the office, she immediately asked Wendy to contact all the current shareholders of the Sandoval Group for a shareholder meeting. Terry had noticed Jessica's move the moment Jessica started to purchase the shares of the Sandoval Group. Therefore, when he received a call, Terry was not surprised that a sh
Foster originally thought that his memory would never fully recover for the rest of his life, but a car accident in the third year after immigrating made him go through the gates of death again, but also returned all of his lost memories.Samuel was taken aback for a moment when he saw the look in her eyes and said, "Don't tell me you've lost your memory again."There were many wounds on his body. Foster tried to get up, but he found himself very heavy.Upon seeing the situation, Samuel also became afraid and quickly spoke, "Don't move, we finally got out of the ICU, don't go back again."Foster did not move anymore, he turned his head and looked outside the window of the ward.The weather today was very nice, just like the day eight years ago when he left.That day, he left carrying a family grudge, thinking that Hannah was just an accident.Eight years later, their revenge had been avenged, and Hannah had long since married.
On the day of Gemma's seventh birthday, Hannah and Kendall went to the park and set up a tent. They invited Georgia and brought a small grill. The three of them had a pleasant afternoon.Georgia also realized at that time that Gemma had actually been looking forward to going camping with them in a couple of days when she left.Today, we went camping, which fulfilled Gemma's unfinished wish.Gemma left, and the rest of the people had to continue living their lives.Kendall had originally taken a vacation for over a month, intending to return to the company only after the two of them got married and officially ended their leave.Now Gemma couldn't wait for his and Hannah's wedding, so he left. There was still nearly a month left, and Kendall asked Hannah to stay with Georgia on the South side for a while, as he was going abroad.He went abroad to meet the senior executives of the Harrington Group, who had been overseas all along. After that, h
After the cremation was completed, the staff asked Kendall to pick up the bones.Without waiting for Kendall to speak, she immediately refused.She couldn't understand this twisted "service". The loss of a loved one is already enough to make people feel desperate and miserable, and after cremation, they actually make people go and pick up the bones.Even though it was just symbolically picking one or two, it still remained incomprehensible.This was simply cruel and incomprehensible.The people in charge of the cemetery burial had already made arrangements. After leaving the funeral home, the group followed the car to the cemetery.The location of Gemma's grave was very good, and the photo on the tombstone showed her in her thirties, looking young, elegant, and beautiful.The urn was placed inside, the tomb was buried, and everything came to a complete end here.Hannah looked up at the distant sky with red eyes.The weat
Hannah really had no appetite and couldn't continue eating after a few bites.She lowered her head and drank the chicken soup that Gemma had specially instructed the aunt to stew before leaving. Tears fell directly into the soup.In fact, there wasn't much deep emotion between her and Gemma, but during this time, listening to her talk about many childhood things, now that she's gone, this sudden blow has made Hannah unable to bear it.She lowered her head, trying hard to calm her emotions, but the more she tried, the more uncomfortable she felt.Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and got up to go to the bathroom.Hannah stayed in the bathroom for a while before she came out.At that time, Georgia and Jaylen also came over.The sky had already turned completely dark when Georgia and Jaylen stepped in, guided by the moonlight."Where was your mother?"Georgia looked relatively calm and, looking at Kendall, asked a quest
Kendall quickly bought everything and brought it back.Recently, Gemma actually couldn't eat much. She relied on nutrient fluids and some soup to maintain the most basic nutrition.She was rare in the mood to eat something at the moment, although she didn't eat much, she tried a little bit of everything."This sausage isn't that delicious, why do so many children like to eat it?"Gemma was particularly puzzled. It smelled quite fragrant, but when she tasted it, it was really average.Hannah smiled and said, "Probably because parents didn't allow us to eat it often, so it tasted better.""Hannah's point does make some sense,"She said, sighing, "In fact, that's just how people are, no matter who they are or how old they are, there's always a bit of rebellion. The more others try to stop you from doing something, the more you want to do it."And she herself, wasn't she like this too?The group of people started walking bac
After Kendall returned to the South town, Gemma visibly became much happier.Kendall had everything arranged for work. After returning from this vacation, unless there was a necessary emergency, he wouldn't even answer a work phone call.Every day, Hannah and I would go to Gemma's place for meals. In the evening, when the sun was setting, the two of us would push Gemma for a walk outside the villa.Blaine did come to see Gemma once, probably after her serious illness. Gemma also let go of a lot and didn't feel the same way about Blaine as before.After so many years since their divorce, this is the first time they sat down to have a proper conversation.After Konnor's death, Kendall was unwilling to inherit everything from the Hawthorne family, but the shares he returned did not fall into his hands, nor did they fall into Jeffrey's hands.Nowadays, Jeffrey is just a nobody.Blaine's days were looking bright, but all was in Kendall's h
Kendall knew that he couldn't argue with Hannah, and if they continued to argue, they would definitely fight.He didn't speak anymore, took a few sips of hot drink, and then closed his eyes to take a nap.He didn't really have a good rest during this period of time. In order to rush over, he had been working overtime for five consecutive nights.The carriage was quiet with no one speaking. After the train got on the expressway, Hannah glanced at Kendall beside her.The person had already fallen asleep.She curled her lips slightly, knowing that this person was stubborn.Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the parking lot.Hannah drove the car well, while Kendall showed no signs of waking up.She took out her phone, checked the time, and it was already past eleven.Although Kendall was sleeping soundly, she didn't want to wake the person up, but she couldn't let him sleep in the car all the time, could she?Ha
Gemma woke up for the second time, and she stayed awake for a little longer, but not for too long. She managed to stay awake for about twenty minutes before falling asleep again.Hannah and Kendall stayed at the hospital until after 8 o'clock in the evening, when Gemma woke up again.When she woke up this time, she was feeling better, although she still couldn't speak very fluently, but much better than during the day.In the evening, Georgia brought dinner over, along with some soup.Kendall fed Gemma half a bowl of chicken soup and had a conversation with her before they left the hospital.It was very dark, and the two of them had already arrived home at nine o'clock.Hannah remembered Kendall's plan to return to LA tomorrow and couldn't help but ask, "What time is your flight tomorrow?""Around 7 o'clock in the morning, a bit early, I drove directly to the airport.""Okay."She took the cup from his hand and lowered h
When Hannah woke up, Kendall was already not in bed.Although I slept for a while, I didn't sleep well last night, and it is difficult to make up for it with a nap during the day.As soon as she got up, Hannah felt a bit dizzy. She picked up the phone beside her and realized it was already past twelve o'clock.She and Kendall didn't get home until 8 o'clock, and they only slept for four hours.I don't know how long Kendall slept.She sat on the bed for a while, and only got up and left the room after she woke up.Walking into the living room, Hannah saw Kendall on the phone.She took a glance, didn't walk over, and went to the countertop of the open kitchen to pour herself a glass of water. While drinking, she messaged Georgia, asking about Gemma's current situation that day.The message had been sent for a while, but Georgia did not reply.She had just looked up when Kendall had finished the call.The two of them
