  "I'm also wondering what you saw in Jessica, Mr. Davison. Are you blind?"

  Lucas questioned back when Hari hurriedly nudged him.

  Lucas turned around, feeling quite annoyed, only to see Jessica coming back toward the nightclub. Lucas couldn't help but frown.

  Jessica returned because she forgot some of her belongings at Mona's place. Thus, she returned to get her stuff back. She then happened to hear what Lucas said about her.

  The moment Jessica heard what Lucas said, she felt a sting in her chest.

  In their three—year marriage, Jessica believed she had done a great job as Mrs. Thomas, even though the Thomas family never stopped picking on her.

  Soon Jessica pulled herself together. She walked into the nightclub with her face unchanged.

  Terry then chuckled. "Everyone has their own taste. The way I see it, Miss Hall is excellent. Hopefully, she will be the future Mrs. Davison."

  With that, Terry bowed slightly at Lucas and Hari before he left.

      Hannah had thought about persuading Jessica to give Terry a chance. After all, Terry and Jessica had similar family backgrounds. Even if Jessica did not like Terry, she could still use Terry to annoy Lucas.  Yet when Hannah realized that Jessica was not interested in Terry at all, she never mentioned Terry anymore. Hannah then said, "There's gonna be a charity event today. You're coming, right?"  "Sure, see you tonight," Jessica replied. Although she was not interested in those social events, it was a good chance to meet some big shots in business. Jessica wouldn't miss the chance.  In the evening, Jessica came to the venue for the event in the latest high—fashion dress designed by Tomie.  The turquoise dress was decorated with numerous diamonds, and it looked like a glittering lake under the light. Jessica just entered the hall and drew a lot of attention.  When Hannah saw Jessica, she immediately came over. Hannah was a party girl and she didn't like such a formal affair.  "

      What Lucas said made Jessica feel uneasy. She was no longer in the mood for more chats. Thus, she left with Hannah.  Unexpectedly, Jessica's car broke down only a few minutes after she started it. Thus, Jessica had to pull up on the roadside.  "What the hell! Isn't this a new car?" Hannah jumped out of the car and stomped her feet angrily.  "Don't worry." Jessica comforted Hannah. She then took out her phone and called her assistant Wendy.  Wendy always did her job with high efficiency. It didn't take much time for her to contact the relevant sector to handle the malfunction. Wendy still remembered the last time they ran into those people from that MC club. Two ladies stayed on the roadside at night. That didn't sound safe.  Jessica hung up the phone and took her jacket out of her car. Just after she put the jacket on, a Maserati slowly stopped beside her car.  "Jessica, do you need help?" The window slowly rolled down, revealing Hari's smiling face.  "No, thanks. My assistan

      The next morning, Jessica started working as soon as she arrived at her office. She buried herself in a pile of documents the whole morning.  Only when Wendy knocked on the door did Jessica realize that it was already noon.  "Miss Hall, what would you like to eat for lunch?"  "Would you please pack up a sandwich for me?" Jessica closed the laptop and rubbed her sore forehead. "Oops, and a cup of iced Americano."  The Hall family was among the wealthiest families, but Jessica just went to a community high school because her parents didn't want other rich kids' ill intentions to reach her.  Thus, Jessica never took what she ate and wore too seriously. Especially at work, Jessica preferred a quick and simple meal.  After Wendy went out, Jessica's phone rang. She pressed the answer button.  "Have you had lunch yet, sweetheart?" The call was from Morgan Hall, Jessica's father.  "I just asked Wendy to buy lunch for me. What about you, Dad?" Jessica leaned back in her chair to have

      "I don't know what you are talking about!" Olivia retorted as she felt that Rebecca was gazing over with confusion in her eyes.  Jessica was not in the mood to argue with Olivia. She threw the tissue into the trash can and left the restroom.  Coincidentally, Jessica saw Lucas after moving only a few steps.  Because of what Olivia had said, Jessica did not want to talk to Lucas.  Lucas watched as Jessica passed by. He felt irritated when Jessica ignored him once again. He said coldly, "Jessica."  Jessica halted and tilted her head slightly to look at Lucas. "What can I do for you, Mr. Thomas?"  Unlike before, Jessica's eyes were icy cold when she looked at Lucas now. Lucas felt upset about it.  "Terry pursued you because of me. Please stay sober."  Sober? Jessica felt that her least sober moment was when she decided to marry Lucas three years ago.  "Thanks for your reminder, Mr. Thomas. But we have divorced now. I hope you and your family can stay away from me."  Jessica th

      Since Terry beat Jessica on horseback, Jessica agreed to attend the event as his plus—one.  After that, Terry didn't pester Jessica. Instead, he rode away on his horse.  Hannah caught up with them. She clicked her tongue as she saw Terry off. "What exactly is going on between the two of you?"  "No biggie. I was racing with him and I lost." Jessica looked at Hannah and said flatly.  "No way! You are the student of a horsemanship champion. How could you lose?" Hannah widened her eyes in disbelief.  "There is always someone better." As Jessica spoke, she suddenly recalled the way Terry gazed at her. Her mind was somehow muddled with emotions.  After lunch, Jessica and Hannah went shopping together.  Hannah dragged Jessica to a luxury fashion shop. When Hannah showed her VIP card, the salespeople all came over, eager to serve them.  Suddenly, a snide female voice chimed in. "Who on earth is there? What a pomp!"  Jessica found the voice familiar. She thus couldn't help but look

      Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Jessica watched with a faint smile as the salesgirls cut the price tags and packed up the clothes before handing them to Ellie.  Only then did Jessica say to Hannah, "Let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to buy a Dior bag?"  Before leaving, Jessica even asked Ellie and Zancy, "By the way, ladies, would you like to come with us? You can buy all the bags I fancy and make my shopping trip end fruitless. That's gonna annoy me so much."  Zancy hurried to stop Ellie. "We have an appointment later. We are not as idle as you."  With that, Zancy and Ellie hurriedly left with a pile of clothes.  As soon as they left, Hannah couldn't help but laugh. "OMG, they are so stupid."  "What a pity! Why didn't Miss Brown go on playing the hyper—rich girl? I could have picked a dozen bags for her," said Jessica with a snort.  Hannah held Jessica's arm with a smile. "That's my smart girl."  Jessica raised her eyebrows. She had always been a smart girl.  Th

      Jessica came to the event only because of the bet. She wasn't interested in anything at the auction.  Terry remained quite silent as well. It seemed that nothing had caught his attention, either.  Yet Terry kept gazing at Jessica. His Terry was impossible to ignore and thus made Jessica quite uneasy. She then turned around and asked, "Anything you fancy?"  "Sure."  Terry narrowed his deep eyes. He picked up the bottled water, slowly unscrewed the cap, and took a sip. With a sly smile, Terry turned to Jessica. "But the one I fancy cannot be bought."  Jessica could tell the suggestive meaning behind Terry's words, yet she pretended not. "That's a pity."  "What about Miss Hall?"  Terry asked as he fiddled with the bidder card in his hand.  Jessica was about to say no when a painting on the wall caught her attention.  "That Frida Kahlo's artwork looks nice," said Jessica.  Morgan had a collection of Frida Kahlo's paintings. Jessica knew that Morgan would love the painting when

      The auction had come to an end. Lucas was the bidder of the night. He first bought a painting for 2 million dollars and then another for 35 million dollars.  Hari also believed that Lucas acted kind of like a super—rich sucker tonight.  Hari tried to tell Lucas that the paintings were not worth the money spent, yet he chose to shut up when he saw Lucas' grim face.  After the auction was over, the four of them met at the stairs.  Hari greeted Jessica, "Jessica!"  Jessica smiled faintly and responded, "Mr. Hartley."  Jessica nodded and then left with Terry.  Lucas watched them off. His golden eyes darkened. He then left the venue as well.  Terry's black Rolls—Royce was quite eye—catching. Jessica got into the car and found that Terry was gazing at her.  Jessica looked at Terry doubtfully, only to hear the man chuckle and say, "Not bad."  "I'm sorry?"  Terry didn't explain but slowly drove out. "Are you hungry now?"  Jessica didn't take Terry's response seriously. "Not real

    Julie looked up and said, "I will go and have a look."She turned around and ran over to Hannah's side, as she spoke.Just now, Hannah saw that there were crabs in the cage and curiously asked Jessica, "Will there be crabs in the cracks of these stones?"Julie hadn't really thought about it, but don't crabs usually like to hide in crevices in shallow water? So she casually replied, "Sure, if you want to catch one, go down and take a look for yourself."Hannah really rolled up her pants, went down the stream, and searched for crabs among the gaps in the rocks.The stream was clear, you could see to the bottom at a glance.Hannah didn't take long to find a crab. She was planning to catch it and show off to Jessica, but the crab ran too fast. She kept finding several others, but they all managed to escape.This time she saw a quite big one, and didn't want to let the crab just run away like that, so she shouted for Jessica.Julie

    Hannah was curious about everything, so when she saw that bamboo house, she pulled Julie and asked her all sorts of questions.Terry walked alongside Morgan and May, both of whom were quite advanced in age. Although the mountain was not very high and not difficult to climb, it still required physical effort, and the two of them fell behind by quite a bit.When they arrived in front of the bamboo house, Jessica and Hannah were already not inside the bamboo house.Terry poured the leftover tea for May and Morgan and pointed to the door of the bamboo house, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, Jessica said that Mr. Garrison found her in front of this bamboo house."Upon hearing Terry's words, Morgan's hand holding the teacup trembled.He also didn't care about drinking water anymore, and got up and walked to the front of the bamboo house.Just now they came up from the mountain and saw only a bamboo house amidst the lush greenery. There was a stream flowing n

    I have to say, the three questions that Hannah asked in a row were the same questions that Morgan and May were concerned about.Jessica lost her memory, and they all didn't want to put pressure on her.They only have one precious daughter. When they first learned about Jessica's accident, both of them were devastated. Now that they have finally found her, Morgan and May naturally want to bring Jessica back home.Just now, Jessica and Terry walked in, talking and laughing. Both of them felt quite emotional inside.At this moment, the person most eager to have Jessica return should be Terry, and the person most anxious for Jessica to regain her memory is also Terry.But Terry seemed to have no worries about these issues. As parents, they couldn't bear to see Jessica struggling."It's true that this place was a bit poor, but Jessica lived happily and was doing fine."May sighed and said, "It's true, Jessica was definitely raised on a ped

    Terry was clearly puzzled, "Will there be wild rabbits and pheasants on this mountain?"This side is all small hills, they are called mountains, but the altitude is not high, only about one or two hundred meters. It takes about three hours to go up from the foot of the mountain to the top slowly, and it takes a little over an hour to go up quickly.More than twenty years ago, it was not uncommon to see wild pheasants and wild rabbits. Given the current ecological environment, it is indeed quite unexpected to still have wild pheasants and wild rabbits.Julie looked at him and smiled, "What Roberto said, anyway, those who run in the mountains, nameless and faceless, what are they if not wild chickens and hares?""That's right."Terry thought that Roberto was indeed quite interesting. You said he was a bad person, but he didn't hesitate to save Jessica. You say he is a good person, but he is actually very "carefree".The two of them crossed the

    Terry paused for a moment, watching Jessica's figure disappear. It was only then that he noticed Roberto lying on the lounge chair about ten meters ahead.At that moment, the sun was scorching hot, and Roberto covered his face with a straw hat to shield it from the direct sunlight.Julie walked over and looked at the sun hat on Roberto's face, raising an eyebrow and shaking her ponytail. She took a few steps forward and pulled the fishing line hard.Feeling the fishing rod in his hand move, Roberto quickly sat up from the lounge chair."Old man, there was a fish on the hook!"Roberto saw her and snorted, "What are you here for?""I saw you fishing!"Roberto scoffed, "It was you who pulled the fishing line just now, right?""Don't accuse me wrongly, I didn't do it."Julie didn't admit it.Roberto heard the commotion from Terry's side, turned his head and saw Terry throwing a bamboo cage into the stream. He instinct

    Because Morgan and the others were still asleep, Julie had to leave a note on the table in the living room.Afterwards, she took Terry into the mountains.When the two of them were leaving, Lucas was still there. Seeing them leaving, he also followed along.Terry glanced at Jessica and didn't say anything.Julie paused and turned her head to look at Lucas. "Mr. Thomas, I suggest you go back and take care of your company. Although I have lost my memory and don't remember our past, I believe that since we got divorced, I must have had my reasons."She spoke, paused for a moment, and finally glanced at Lucas before bluntly adding, "Persistent pestering, it really lacks the grace of a man."Jessica before her amnesia had said something similar.With just one sentence, she left Lucas speechless.But he knew that Jessica had lost her memory, it was a second chance given to him by fate, even though he felt despicable in doing so.

    Julie walked into the backyard and saw the clothes thrown in the trash bin. She glanced at them and then carried the clothes into the bathroom.Julie finished taking a shower and washing her hair before going out. Hannah was sitting at the door of the west wing and when she saw Julie coming out, she got up and tried to cover up the truth, saying, "There are too many mosquitoes over there."She spoke and showed her arm that had been stung.Julie glanced and said, "There were many mosquitoes in the evening, I suggest you wear long sleeves."Their clothes were brought by a woman who drove over after the rain stopped. The woman seemed quite excited when she saw her, her eyes even turned red as she looked at Julie.But Julie couldn't remember anything, so she just nodded her head as a way of greeting.The clothes Wendy brought over were quite thoughtful, as she prepared several sets for each person.Hannah obediently went to change into lo

    Terry reacted quickly too. Upon hearing Jessica's words, he closed the box and threw it back into the pit.Julie hurriedly filled the soil back with a shovel. This box of gold, indeed, could not be exposed to light casually!She guessed that there were valuable things hidden inside, otherwise, during the few days she was unconscious and drugged, it couldn't possibly have been dug up by the old man going up the mountain.In the first few days after waking up, Roberto still made her drink medicine.Although Julie didn't have the ability to distinguish medicines, she could clearly recognize the thick ginseng placed in the kitchen.Although it is said that all ginseng nowadays has been cultivated, the one Roberto uses for medicinal purposes is mostly wild, and it grows so long. It must be quite expensive.It should be at least a few thousand, if not tens of thousands.This was just the money for a medicine, and later Roberto also bought h

    Hannah saw Terry coming and tactfully left the kitchen.Terry also glanced at Jessica and said, "I just saw a big yellow dog."Julie paused her action of scrubbing the pot and said, "Tsk, you're quite naughty too."Terry looked at her, his eyes twinkling with a smile. He didn't say anything, but Julie somehow understood what he meant from the look in his eyes.She averted her gaze and started heating up the pan.Roberto was very stingy. He didn't give her much money, even though he knew they were going to the market today.Julie had one hundred and fifty dollars in her pocket and wanted to buy everything. But after looking around, she paid eighty dollars for clothes, and she was left with seventy dollars in her hand.Fortunately, things in remote and impoverished areas were cheap. She bought several pounds of pork and pig bones. She originally wanted to buy chicken, but Roberto said there were wild chickens in the mountains. When she
