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 lookJessica 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
Jessica's words upset both Lucas and Grace, whose faces turned sullen. Lucas didn't like it when Grace brought up their divorce again in public. Grace, on the other hand, was angry because Terry hadn't even glanced at her. Just as Grace was about to lose control of her anger, Jessica slowly asked, "Miss Sandoval, are you targeting me because of Mr. Davison?" Grace glanced at Tony. She quickly calmed down after a moment of panic. Grace felt that there was no need to hide her true feelings in front of her father. "Good. So you know that. The Thomas family just abandoned you. Is that why you are so eager to ride on Terry's coattails?" Jessica sneered and ignored her. "If only what you said was true. I would be so honored. It's a pity that Miss Hall has been rejecting me all the time." Terry chuckled and added. "T!" Grace's face turned pale when she heard Terry's words. Terry even laughed at himself to help Jessica.
Lucas didn't return to his office after leaving the Sandoval Group. He asked the driver to go back to the Thomas villa. After getting out of the car, Lucas threw the coat to the butler and went to Justin's study alone. Dwayne's report let Justin know that Lucas had given the shares of the Sandoval Group to Jessica. After Lucas entered the study, Justin finally revealed a satisfied smile. "Lucas, I heard that you gave Jessica the Sandoval shares. You did a good job, my smart boy." Justin didn't care about the shares of a small company. If these shares were conducive to Jessica's remarriage to Lucas, the Thomas Group could get far more benefits. Justin had been engaged in the business world for many years, so he was well aware of these schemes. During this period, Lucas had been making his own decisions and escaping Justin's control. Now, Lucas had finally followed his expectations without going awry. Lucas lowered his head to hide th
Ever since she overheard the conversation between Justin and Lucas and learned that Justin wanted Lucas to remarry Jessica, Olivia had been paying attention to whatever Justin did. Jessica and Olivia never got along well, and Olivia set Jessica several times. If Jessica really married Lucas, with Justin's current attitude towards Jessica, Olivia knew that she would be in a much more miserable state than now. Today, when Lucas returned, Olivia went to eavesdrop again. She waited until Lucas went into Justin's home office. Then she tiptoed near the home office to hear their conversation. To her surprise, this time she finally heard something about herself. When she heard that Lucas intended to send her away from LA and to Paris, she resisted the urge to break in. Olivia kept telling herself to be patient and wait for Lucas to leave. Then she could plead with Justin and Rebecca. But then, she heard something more. Lucas arranged
After Olivia left, Lucas said goodbye to Justin and returned to the company. Justin sat in the home office and pondered for a moment. He picked up the fixed phone on the table and called Dwayne. "Dwayne, come here." Justin hung up the phone after he said this. After a while, Dwayne knocked on the door of Justin's home office. "Mr. Thomas, what can I help?" Dwayne was as steady and polite as ever. He stood a few steps away from Justin's desk. "Well, before Jessica and Lucas divorced each other, our family owed her something." Justin seemed a little tired. He looked at Dwayne and said slowly, "Now, I think it would be great if Lucas could remarry Jessica." "Yes, Mr. Thomas. the Hall family is the most compatible with Lucas." Dwayne followed Justin's words. "So, I plan to help Lucas clear the obstacles. That's why I agreed when Lucas said he wanted to send Olivia away," Justin said seriously. Dwayne didn't say anything, but it c
Dwayne had made his intention clear, so he didn't want to waste any more time when Luna continued to play the innocence card. He didn't take back the check. After all, he didn't pay much attention to what Luna said. Luna claimed she didn't care about the money of the Thomas family. But she and Trissy had been staying in the apartment that Lucas bought. Trissy often told Lucas that Luna wasn't feeling well. Then Lucas would give them a sum of money. If they had any self—dignity, they would have moved out long ago. "That's all of Mr. Thomas' message, so I won't disturb you ladies." As soon as Dwayne left, Trissy began to toss everything around in anger. "Damn old man. He wants to send us away with only fifty million?" Luna frowned and said with a sullen face, "But Jessica is going to remarry Lucas..." At the thought of this, Trissy said disappointedly, "Then what should we do, Luna?" They asked for money from Lucas and st
