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 thEver 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
The receptionist saw that Trissy sat down in the waiting area of the hall. She had to call Vincent on the inner line. Vincent sighed, as he knew that the two Miss Cheeks were difficult to deal with. He knocked on the door of Lucas' office and walked in upon getting permission. "Mr. Thomas, Miss Cheek is waiting for you in the hall. She says she won't leave until she sees you." "Let her wait in the meeting room on the third floor." Hearing Vincent's words, Lucas frowned and ordered. Trissy sat in the hall and waited for a while before Vincent arrived. Being asked to go to the meeting room on the third floor, Trissy immediately stood up from the sofa. When she walked past the front desk, she arrogantly rolled her eyes at the receptionist and snorted. In Trissy's eyes, she was still a rich young lady even if her family had gone broke. There was a difference between her and the ordinary people. But the Cheek family
Lucas just left the office like that. Trissy didn't expect Lucas to be so heartless. She wanted to catch up with him but was stopped by Vincent. "Miss Cheek, I'll show you out," Vincent said politely. "You!" Trissy was about to lose her temper at Vincent, but thinking Lucas hadn't gone far, she endured her fury and said to Vincent, "I need to use the restroom." "This way, please." Vincent was worried that Trissy would run to Lucas again. He didn't want to be fired. Trissy walked out of Lucas' office angrily. Since Vincent was keeping an eye on her, she had no choice but to go to the staff bathroom downstairs. But she happened to hear some gossip about Jessica. "Hey, you know what? Mr. Thomas' ex—wife Jessica has been dating Terry from the Davidson family recently!" "When did you get this news? It's not new. Didn't Terry publicly declare that he was pursuing Jessica long ago?" "That's not what I'm talking about. I heard
Trissy returned to the apartment and told Luna about Lucas' reply. Luna's face darkened. Then Trissy hurriedly told Luna about the gossip she overheard at the Thomas Group. Luna finally revealed a smile. "Justin wants Lucas and Jessica to get married again. If Jessica's reputation was ruined, would he let a slut become Mrs. Thomas?" said Luna. "That's right. But the two women said that the guy who went to Jessica's place might not be Terry," Trissy said. "It doesn't matter who that person is. As long as he isn't Lucas, we can sell it into big news," Luna said indifferently. Didn't Dwayne say that Jessica and Lucas were going to get married again? The Thomas family valued their reputation so much. She wanted to see if the Thomas family would still allow Lucas to remarry a slut like Jessica. "Trissy, contact the press now, and spread Jessica's messy private life to the public. I can't wait to see it go viral!" Luna said
"What's the news on the Internet now? Since you love gossip so much, Hannah, why don't you turn to work for some tabloids?" Jessica joked. "I'm only concerned because you are involved! If it weren't for you, why would I even care about it?" Hannah didn't understand why Jessica was so not worried at all. Jessica paused for a moment and asked, "I'm involved? What is it?" "The netizens are saying that your private life is a mess and that you let other men stay at your place after making things up with Lucas." Hannah paused for a moment and added, "They even said that you are pregnant, so you are looking for a dad for your baby. Jess, what is this all about?" Jessica knew Hannah well. Hannah wouldn't keep joking about such a thing. Hannah's tone made Jessica realize that someone had smeared her reputation. "I don't know from whom you learned that I am pregnant, but I can tell you that my period had just started yesterday." Hannah froze
Jessica could tell that Morgan was cautious about his words. She then said, "Dad, I assure you and mom that I am fine." With that, Morgan let out a sigh of relief. "I know. So, who is behind this rumor? Whoever did this had crossed the line! You have to look into it." "I see, Dad. I will ask Wendy to investigate the whole thing. Dad, you and Mom should take care of your health at home. I am fine here. You don't have to worry about me." "Sure." Seeing Jessica wasn't upset at all, Morgan felt relieved. "Then I won't disturb you. I just got off the plane. Don't work too hard. Take care of yourself. Dad is still young, so my baby girl doesn't have to work so hard." Jessica smiled, "Alright, I'll hang up now, Dad." "Okay." After hanging up, the smile on Jessica's face faded a lot. She turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window. After a long while, Jessica retracted her gaze and called out to Wendy, "Wendy, ha
