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 arrangedAfter 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
Jessica heard him and took a step back, "Come in then." Terry walked in, and Jessica noticed that he was carrying two bags in his hands. Jessica lowered her head, and when she saw the food in one of the bags, she couldn't help but feel surprised. "You are not going to cook lunch here, are you?" Terry had been at Jessica's place before, so he knew where the kitchen was. He went directly over and then spoke as he took the things out of the bag. "Yeah. You've just got off the plane, right?" Jessica paused a bit, but she didn't go on asking. "Do you mind giving me a hand?" While she was in a daze, Terry suddenly said. Jessica came back to her senses and looked at him in confusion. "What?" "Help me put on the apron. Thank you." With that, Jessica glanced at the apron and Terry's white shirt and black trousers. She couldn't help but chuckle. "The combination looks funny to me." As she spoke, she took the apron over an
The Howell family and the Hawthorne family had been neighbors for so many years. When Hannah was just born, Georgia said that Kendall's mother would come to the Howell family every day, saying that she just wanted to have a daughter.Later, as she grew up a little, Kendall's mom would always mention how envious she was of Georgia for having a daughter like her.As she grew older, she even mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, about having her and Kendall become doll siblings.However, Georgia did not agree and has always been refusing.Ever since Kendall's parents divorced, Hannah hasn't seen Kendall's mom much.I didn't expect that this time, Kendall's mom would call her directly.The person on the phone seemed to have changed, as soon as they spoke, they asked her if Kendall was with her.Hannah didn't feel anything was wrong at first, and politely explained that she was on a business trip.No sooner had she finished speaking than the woman on the other end of the phone sudde
It was a dinner party in the evening, and Hannah returned to her hotel room after 9 o'clock at night.At tonight's dinner party, she was offered quite a few drinks, even though it was just red wine with a moderate alcohol content. However, Hannah hasn't really been drinking for over half a year.At that moment, the person returned to the hotel room and didn't feel like taking a shower. They collapsed on the sofa and just wanted to sleep.Sophia worried about her and, not knowing where she got it from, made her a cup of honey water."Ms. Howell, drink some honey water slowly."Hannah squinted her eyes and looked at Sophia, then smiled and said, "Sophia, was I great today?""Yes, yes, Ms. Howell performed really well today!"Sophia had been Hannah's secretary for almost three years, so she knew Hannah quite well.During this period, Hannah suddenly made great progress, which surprised everyone in their company.Sophia knew that Hannah had a childlike personality, and she had been praisi
The train arrived at four o'clock, and Hannah and Hollis got off the train only to find that it was already dark. Both of them were momentarily stunned and asked, "Did we miss our stop?"How did it get dark around four o'clock?The wind blowing over was especially cold, and Hannah's face felt like it had been scraped by a knife. She looked at the weather forecast on her phone and said, "There will be a heavy rain today. I need to hurry, or else I'll have to spend the night at this Train Station!""It was quite cold today!"Hollis straightened his clothes and said, "Let's hurry up and go!"The two of them dragged their suitcases and walked outside. It was difficult to hail a taxi in this weather, but luckily there was a subway.Hollis had no plans to look for a job and followed Hannah back to the villa.The two of them came out of the subway station, and the rain had already stopped.Hannah took a taxi half an hour in advance, so she didn't have to wait for long.With such heavy rain,
LA in November became completely cold, Hannah made an appointment with Hollis to go to the hot springs.Hollis recently became unemployed as well, with nothing to do all day, he went to look for Hannah.Two idle people gathered together, always thinking about how to have fun every day.Hannah booked a villa just for her and Hollis. The villa had a hot spring, so they didn't have to go to a public hot spring pool to soak."Hey, I heard that Kendall was going to get engaged to that Sabrina Novak. Do you know about this?"Hannah paused for a moment with her phone in hand and said, "I haven't heard.""Did Kendall look for you before?"Upon hearing Hollis' words, Hannah glanced at her and said, "Who's been feeding you nonsense again?""My younger brother, he said that one day he saw you with Kendall, and you two seemed quite close. He originally wanted to go up and say hello to you, but then he thought it would be better not to.""Drake had a bad look in his eyes, how could the word 'intim
All of her belongings from her student days are inside the miscellaneous room at home. Georgia only allows people to organize them, but she has never thrown away any item.Hannah quickly found the gift that Kendall had given her back then. After nearly fifteen or sixteen years, the outer wrapping paper had become slightly worn.Hannah held the package and returned to the room. The adhesive tape had completely stuck the wrapping paper, and she couldn't open it, so she had to tear the wrapping paper directly.Underneath the wrapping paper, there was a gift box. She opened the box and inside, there was a bed of lavender. The first thing she saw was the postcard placed on top.Hannah raised an eyebrow, picked up the postcard, and turned it over to see the message Kendall had left for her.To say or not to say, Kendall's handwriting was quite nice.Hannah, there's something I've been hesitating about for a long time, but I feel like I should tell you. I don't even know when it started, but
That night, Kendall indeed did nothing. The two of them, rarely calm and peaceful, sat together, reminiscing about the things they had experienced in the past decade.Many things were brought up again, and Hannah realized that she had many misunderstandings about Kendall as well.For example, it was not Kendall who told Georgia about her failing mid-term exam, but Georgia went to school to bring her some snacks and casually asked about it.Back in college, the incident where Kendall switched the love letter she intended to confess with was because that senior was not a good person. Kendall knew that she wouldn't listen if she told her, so she took matters into her own hands.The two of them chatted until after three in the evening. Hannah didn't even know how she fell asleep, but when she woke up, Kendall was already not in her villa.The mess on the desk has been tidied up, and everything on it is neatly arranged. Under her water cup, there is a takeout receipt, on which Kendall left
The box was just sitting there on the side, and Hannah found it to be in the way. She had just put on gloves to eat the crayfish, but she couldn't resist and took off one glove. Then she took the box and walked over to a shelf nearby, and stuffed the box into it.When she turned back, Kendall looked up at her.Hannah glanced at him and said, "What kind of look is that?""Did that box offend you?"Hannah sat back down and, as she put her gloves back on, she hummed, "If you keep asking, you will soon offend me.""OK, I didn't ask anymore."Hannah ate four or five crayfish and felt like something was missing. She looked at Kendall beside her and said, "Don't you think we're missing something?""What was missing?"Kendall handed her the peeled crayfish, and Hannah didn't hesitate to take it: "Beer, huh? Don't you drink beer when you eat barbecue?""There were a few cans of beer in the refrigerator, go and get them!"Hannah kicked him directly, Kendall took off his gloves, and got up slowl
Hannah started the car and returned to the villa, paying no attention to Kendall: "There are guest rooms on the first floor, don't come up to find me unless it's necessary."This was Kendall's second time coming to Hannah's place. Last time, Kendall didn't stay for long before being chased away by Hannah.This time, I came over...Wasn't it a little better, at least he got to sleep in a guest room on the first floor, right?Hannah finished speaking and went upstairs. Kendall didn't feel like guessing what idea he had in mind, and he didn't have the patience to play with him either.Since he was coming to stay over, she decided to give him a guest room, as there were plenty of rooms in her house.As for the rest, he can dream on!However, she thought well, but reality turned out to be somewhat contrary to her wishes.Hannah had just played two rounds of King of Glory by herself when Kendall's phone rang."What's up?""Were you playing King of Glory?""Yeah, do you have any opinions?""
Mona was not surprised at all. She only became acquainted with Hannah after junior high school, when she was young and naturally couldn't see the constant arguments between Hannah and Kendall.Later in high school, she also had a crush on Kendall, and when she saw what Kendall did to Hannah, she vaguely understood something.She remembered in her sophomore year, she even told Hannah that Kendall might like her.Hannah's reaction was very strong, telling her not to make such jokes, she couldn't handle it.Not long after, it was heard that Kendall had a girlfriend, and Mona even briefly doubted if she had sensed something wrong.Later on, Kendall went abroad after studying in her home country for only two years. After going abroad, she also vaguely heard from mutual friends in the circle that Kendall had a girlfriend again. Mona no longer mentioned Kendall's feelings for Hannah.Five years ago, Kendall came over to this side of LA to find Hannah. She was quite surprised because at that
