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 stThe 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
"I see what you mean." Jessica picked up the coffee cup again. She took a sip and said, "Olivia is his family. He covered up for Olivia because he wanted to protect his sister. But Luna and Trissy ... I don't think Lucas will do the same thing for them." Jessica said, thinking about how Lucas confessed the whole thing to her that night in the park and then recalling his confession of love to her. She was a little distracted. "I see. It's just a kind reminder." Jessica only came back to her senses when she heard Terry's voice. She didn't notice the sense of frustration in Terry's eyes. What Terry said reminded Jessica that even if Lucas was not involved, the Thomas family or Justin might have something to do with it. Jessica suspected Justin for a fair reason. Morgan once warned Jessica when he came to LA to settle scores with the Thomas family for Jessica's sake. Justin was not the one to mess up with. It was not that the Hall famil
After Terry left, Jessica returned to her room, and she suddenly recalled that the rumor included a man staying at her place at night. The man was veiled, but the spreader suggested it was Terry. Thus, Jessica felt that the staff in her apartment should be trained more. Jessica found herself in the center of a storm. Bad things kept happening. The next day, before Jessica's scandal was erased, another piece of gossip was exposed. It was about Luna and Lucas. In the photo, Luna was sitting at the entrance of an OB—GYN clinic. Beside Luna, there was a man, putting his hand on Luna's shoulder as a gesture of comfort. And this man was wearing a bespoke Armani suit and a Patek Philippe watch. These details suggested that he was Lucas, the current CEO of the Thomas Group. Jessica looked at the news online and her face turned cold. Although she could not see the man's face, judging from his figure and hair
