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
Sitting in front of his desk, Lucas pondered quietly. Vincent walked up to Lucas, about to remind Lucas of a meeting he should attend later. Vincent also read the news about Luna's "pregnancy". He didn't know how the news affected Lucas' mood. What if Lucas was angry and decided to take it out on him? That would be a disaster. Before Vincent could decide what to say, Lucas had already looked up at him. Vincent paused for a moment and turned to Lucas with a grim face. He froze. "Mr. Thomas..." Lucas only glanced at Vincent. "I'm going to Thomas' villa." "But you have a meeting about the new project to attend later." However, Lucas ignored what Vincent said and left without turning back. Vincent followed Lucas for a few steps, but finally stopped after recalling the look on Lucas' face. Well, Vincent couldn't stop his boss, could he? In the Thomas villa. Justin was listening to Dwayne talking about the netizens' discussi
Lucas didn't speak, and Justin was so angry that his face turned pale. Finally, Justin closed his eyes and softened his attitude. "Lucas, I know what's on your mind. I do want you and Jessica to get married again. First, the two of you are in love. You two only ended up divorcing because of a misunderstanding. Second, you and Jessica's marriage will do our family good. I gave Luna and Trissy money just to make them leave LA and stay away from you." "You know what Luna wants. You are just irritating her," said Lucas. "What's your plan then? Let them get what they ask for? Do you have any idea how much you pay Luna and Trissy each month?" Justin said flatly. "I'll make it clear to Luna and send her away from LA," Lucas said coldly, pursing his lips. "They know what you are going to do," said Justin with a sneer. "Have you read about the news of Luna being pregnant? She's so ambitious and bold. You can never marry such a woman. I've warned yo
Lucas did not speak again. He turned and left Justin's study with a stern face. He returned to his car but did not start the car. Instead, he opened the window and lit a cigarette. He also didn't know what he was thinking about at this time. His mind was all a mess. That had never happened before. The cigarette was burned up. Lucas snuffed it out. He was about to start the car when his phone rang. "Mr. Thomas, there are some clues about Miss Hall's scandal." Vincent's voice came from the phone. "Say it." Lucas cleared his mind hurriedly. "IT department located one of the participants in the early dissemination. According to his recent remittance, they found Miss Cheek's account," Vincent immediately replied. "Got it." Lucas didn't ask which Miss Cheek it was. Luna or Trissy, it made no difference. "Mr. Thomas, do I need to continue looking into the rumor of Luna being pregnant?" asked Vincent. "No. But I
When Jessica arrived at the Sharp Technology, Terry was still in a meeting.Jerry saw her coming and was a little surprised, "Mrs. Davison."Jessica had been called Miss Hall for over a year when she was suddenly called Mrs. Davison, and she felt a little embarrassed.However, Jessica didn't show any reaction and just nodded, saying, "You go ahead and do your thing, I'll just wait here.""Okay, I had someone prepare some food for you."Jessica thought for a moment and didn't refuse, “Thank you for your hard work."Jerry left with the door, leaving Jessica alone in the office.Soon, Jerry's assistant brought in some pastries and tea, “Mrs. Davison, if you need anything, you can tell me."Jessica looked at the half table of stuff and shook her head, "No need, you can go and do your own thing.""Okay, Mrs. Davison."This was not Jessica's first time coming to Terry's office, but it was her first time coming to Terry's office after getting married.Jerry had someone prepare a lot of food.
Jessica stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Larkspur. They were standing a little over two meters apart, and she just stood there without any intention of approaching. "Really? But I don't know what else I can do to help you."If it were in the past, Larkspur would have already cursed Jessica in response to her words. But today, she did come for a reason, so she could only pretend not to understand the sarcasm in Jessica's words, “This matter, indeed, only you can help me."Jessica pursed her lips and said, "So it seems like you didn't just happen to pass by and see me, you came here on purpose, didn't you?"Jessica directly pointed out her purpose, and Larkspur awkwardly smiled, "I did come to find you today."Upon hearing her words, Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "If you came to see me for business matters, I think you should make an appointment with my secretary. I just told you earlier that I have a meeting later, and I am tired right now. I don't want to hear anythi
Jessica was indeed sober, and she obediently loosened her mouth upon hearing his words.The couple had not had any intimate moments since they found out about the pregnancy. One reason was their busy schedule, and the other was that it was not suitable during the early stages of pregnancy.After two months, although it couldn't be completely enjoyable, it could be considered a slight relief.Coming out of the bathroom, Jessica's face was all flushed.After she became pregnant, she particularly enjoyed holding Terry. She didn't know why, but she just felt that holding him was very comfortable and joyful.Terry carried the person to the bed and laid them down. Seeing her looking at him, his eyes darkened, "Hmm?""I wanted to drink water."She spoke and subconsciously pursed her lips.The aftertaste had not yet faded, and Jessica's lips were tinged with red from the inside out. With a slight pursing, she resembled a peach blossom in March, glistening with dew.Terry looked and swallowed
After dinner, the two of them went downstairs for a walk.On a warm evening in mid-May in LA, Jessica spent an hour leisurely strolling outside. When she returned home, her back was covered in a thin layer of sweat.She was not someone who was afraid of heat, but this year she inexplicably became afraid of heat.Terry handed her a cup of warm water and walked into the kitchen with the newly bought watermelon.Jessica sat on the couch, still sweating, and she didn't feel like moving, not even to drink water.The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and it was pleasantly cool. After sitting for a while, she gradually recovered.I got up and walked to the kitchen to wait for Terry to juice the watermelon. Nearly ten kilograms of watermelon is too much for two people to finish. So we juiced two cups of watermelon juice and there was still half of the watermelon left. Terry was scooping out watermelon balls.Jessica had used the small tool and watched Terry digging. She couldn't help
Caspian and Astrid watched as Jerry entered the room. The two exchanged a glance, and Astrid spoke first, "I did as you instructed..."Is it that she is going to be blamed for what is happening now?Caspian looked at Astrid and asked, "How do you think I should talk to the president?"Astrid smirked and said, "How would I know?"Astrid was thinking about whether to sell Caspian, but in the company, the decision-making power is currently in Caspian's hands. She is just a junior minister, so even if she sells Caspian, she won't gain any benefits.Caspian looked at Astrid and was also thinking about how to push her out and make her take the blame.But he also knew that Astrid would not willingly take the blame.If he had pushed Astrid to take the blame, Astrid would have turned around and exposed their affair, and he wouldn't have been able to get away with it.Weighing the pros and cons, Caspian couldn't come up with a perfect solution, “It's getting late, let's go back and rest. I will
The woman left quickly, Terry brushed off the coldness on his face, and looked back at Jessica in the video on his phone, saying, "She's gone."Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "You were quite lucky."Terry knew that she did it on purpose, but just smiled and said, "Shouldn't you go take a shower?"Jessica got off work today and it was almost ten o'clock when she returned to her apartment. She had a video call with Terry for a while, and at this time, it was indeed time to take a shower."Got it, I'll hang up first.""Okay, let me know after you have finished taking a shower.""Um."As the screen went black, Terry's face also turned cold. He immediately dialed Jerry's phone number.Jerry was also just about to take a shower when he suddenly received a call from Terry. The alarm bell rang loudly, "Mr. Davison?""Come over."Realizing that things were not simple, Jerry didn't dare to delay, “Okay, I will come to your room right away."After hanging up the phone, Jerry didn't even ta
Jessica immediately blocked the number, and Terry, who was standing beside her, asked, "What happened?""The high school classmate I ran into at the hospital entrance this morning."Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "So how did they manage to blacken someone?"Jessica glanced at him and snorted, "He doesn't look like a good person."Terry wanted to say something, but the green light ahead turned on.He averted his gaze and started the car to move forward.When I got home, Hannah happened to send a message asking when she and Terry were planning to go on their honeymoon.Hannah didn't know that she was pregnant, and Jessica didn't plan on letting so many people know right now.Terry also planned not to have an excessive honeymoon. They will go again next month, as it has only been just over three months since their wedding. It is better to be cautious.She naturally couldn't say this to Hannah, so Jessica had to come up with the excuse that she was busy lately and postponed the honeymo
Larkspur hadn't heard any news about Jessica for several years after graduation, and she always thought that Jessica must have been doing poorly, which was why she didn't dare to show up.So when she saw the man getting out of the Cadillac just now, she instinctively felt that he was Jessica's husband.Moreover, Jessica's gaze just now was also directed towards that direction.And that man was tall and thin, and he didn't look bad either.However, Terry walked towards Jessica step by step, and Larkspur, looking at the eye contact between the two, instantly knew that he had just made a mistake.She looked at Terry and felt that he looked familiar.Not to mention the familiarity in her eyes, Terry's face truly made her jealous of Jessica. And if she wasn't mistaken, the man had just gotten out of a Maybach.Thinking of these things, Larkspur's complexion turned a bit pale.Terry walked up to Jessica and asked, "What's wrong?"Jessica shook her head and glanced at Larkspur, "It's nothing
After taking a break for the whole day, Jessica woke up the next day feeling refreshed and energized.Today happened to be the day for her to go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, so both she and Terry woke up quite early.May and Morgan were also concerned about her prenatal check-up today. Early in the morning, May called to ask if Jessica needed company.She also knew that the newlywed couple naturally wanted to spend some time alone together.However, Jessica became pregnant and there were some places where Terry, being a man, couldn't accompany her for the check-ups. May was worried that Jessica would feel anxious by herself.Jessica didn't want May to accompany her to the hospital, even though she was only twelve weeks pregnant and the prenatal check-up was not complicated. However, the hospital was crowded and the waiting time was long. On their wedding day, both Jessica and Terry had a hard time, and her parents also went through a lot of hardship. So she didn't want May
