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, haJessica 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
"Are you threatening me?" Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly, his golden pupils tinged with anger. When his anger peaked, it started to fall. "I don't dare, Lou. Trissy and I can offend neither the Thomas family nor the Hall family. Please don't push me." Said that as she might, Luna didn't show any fear on her face. Instead, it could be told from her eyes that she was clearly planning something. Given where they had come to, Lucas didn't buy anything Luna said at all. He lowered his eyes and turned to the phone on the desk. He then said to Luna, "I want this cellphone. At what expense?" "You want the cell? I can just give it to you, Lou." "Don't play dumb. I didn't mean the phone itself, but all the copies of the recording." Lucas didn't feel like beating about the bush. "What do you want?" "I love you dearly. Why would I threaten you with the cell? As long as you marry me, I will be your wife, and Olivia will be my sister—in&m
Lucas left. Having heard the door closing, Trissy collapsed on the sofa, as if she was just a lifeless doll. Trissy let out a long breath. She then looked up, only to see Luna staring at the closed door where she stood. "Luna?" Trissy called out to her. "Why did you give him the phone just now? Why?" Luna suddenly turned her head around and looked at Trissy fiercely, gnashing her teeth. "Didn't you see that Lucas was already angry?" Trissy frowned as saw Luna blown up. "WHY? WHY DID YOU GIVE HIM THE DAMN PHONE?" Luna turned a deaf ear to Trissy's words and looked at Trissy as if Trissy was her enemy. "If only ... If only I have tried one more time... He would have agreed to marry me!" "What is wrong with you?" Trissy was a little impatient. "What's wrong with me giving him the phone? I didn't give it to him for free. I exchanged the phone for 300 million dollars. What else do you want? "What? 300 million dollars and you are satisfie
Julie looked up and said, "I will go and have a look."She turned around and ran over to Hannah's side, as she spoke.Just now, Hannah saw that there were crabs in the cage and curiously asked Jessica, "Will there be crabs in the cracks of these stones?"Julie hadn't really thought about it, but don't crabs usually like to hide in crevices in shallow water? So she casually replied, "Sure, if you want to catch one, go down and take a look for yourself."Hannah really rolled up her pants, went down the stream, and searched for crabs among the gaps in the rocks.The stream was clear, you could see to the bottom at a glance.Hannah didn't take long to find a crab. She was planning to catch it and show off to Jessica, but the crab ran too fast. She kept finding several others, but they all managed to escape.This time she saw a quite big one, and didn't want to let the crab just run away like that, so she shouted for Jessica.Julie
Hannah was curious about everything, so when she saw that bamboo house, she pulled Julie and asked her all sorts of questions.Terry walked alongside Morgan and May, both of whom were quite advanced in age. Although the mountain was not very high and not difficult to climb, it still required physical effort, and the two of them fell behind by quite a bit.When they arrived in front of the bamboo house, Jessica and Hannah were already not inside the bamboo house.Terry poured the leftover tea for May and Morgan and pointed to the door of the bamboo house, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, Jessica said that Mr. Garrison found her in front of this bamboo house."Upon hearing Terry's words, Morgan's hand holding the teacup trembled.He also didn't care about drinking water anymore, and got up and walked to the front of the bamboo house.Just now they came up from the mountain and saw only a bamboo house amidst the lush greenery. There was a stream flowing n
I have to say, the three questions that Hannah asked in a row were the same questions that Morgan and May were concerned about.Jessica lost her memory, and they all didn't want to put pressure on her.They only have one precious daughter. When they first learned about Jessica's accident, both of them were devastated. Now that they have finally found her, Morgan and May naturally want to bring Jessica back home.Just now, Jessica and Terry walked in, talking and laughing. Both of them felt quite emotional inside.At this moment, the person most eager to have Jessica return should be Terry, and the person most anxious for Jessica to regain her memory is also Terry.But Terry seemed to have no worries about these issues. As parents, they couldn't bear to see Jessica struggling."It's true that this place was a bit poor, but Jessica lived happily and was doing fine."May sighed and said, "It's true, Jessica was definitely raised on a ped
Terry was clearly puzzled, "Will there be wild rabbits and pheasants on this mountain?"This side is all small hills, they are called mountains, but the altitude is not high, only about one or two hundred meters. It takes about three hours to go up from the foot of the mountain to the top slowly, and it takes a little over an hour to go up quickly.More than twenty years ago, it was not uncommon to see wild pheasants and wild rabbits. Given the current ecological environment, it is indeed quite unexpected to still have wild pheasants and wild rabbits.Julie looked at him and smiled, "What Roberto said, anyway, those who run in the mountains, nameless and faceless, what are they if not wild chickens and hares?""That's right."Terry thought that Roberto was indeed quite interesting. You said he was a bad person, but he didn't hesitate to save Jessica. You say he is a good person, but he is actually very "carefree".The two of them crossed the
Terry paused for a moment, watching Jessica's figure disappear. It was only then that he noticed Roberto lying on the lounge chair about ten meters ahead.At that moment, the sun was scorching hot, and Roberto covered his face with a straw hat to shield it from the direct sunlight.Julie walked over and looked at the sun hat on Roberto's face, raising an eyebrow and shaking her ponytail. She took a few steps forward and pulled the fishing line hard.Feeling the fishing rod in his hand move, Roberto quickly sat up from the lounge chair."Old man, there was a fish on the hook!"Roberto saw her and snorted, "What are you here for?""I saw you fishing!"Roberto scoffed, "It was you who pulled the fishing line just now, right?""Don't accuse me wrongly, I didn't do it."Julie didn't admit it.Roberto heard the commotion from Terry's side, turned his head and saw Terry throwing a bamboo cage into the stream. He instinct
Because Morgan and the others were still asleep, Julie had to leave a note on the table in the living room.Afterwards, she took Terry into the mountains.When the two of them were leaving, Lucas was still there. Seeing them leaving, he also followed along.Terry glanced at Jessica and didn't say anything.Julie paused and turned her head to look at Lucas. "Mr. Thomas, I suggest you go back and take care of your company. Although I have lost my memory and don't remember our past, I believe that since we got divorced, I must have had my reasons."She spoke, paused for a moment, and finally glanced at Lucas before bluntly adding, "Persistent pestering, it really lacks the grace of a man."Jessica before her amnesia had said something similar.With just one sentence, she left Lucas speechless.But he knew that Jessica had lost her memory, it was a second chance given to him by fate, even though he felt despicable in doing so.
Julie walked into the backyard and saw the clothes thrown in the trash bin. She glanced at them and then carried the clothes into the bathroom.Julie finished taking a shower and washing her hair before going out. Hannah was sitting at the door of the west wing and when she saw Julie coming out, she got up and tried to cover up the truth, saying, "There are too many mosquitoes over there."She spoke and showed her arm that had been stung.Julie glanced and said, "There were many mosquitoes in the evening, I suggest you wear long sleeves."Their clothes were brought by a woman who drove over after the rain stopped. The woman seemed quite excited when she saw her, her eyes even turned red as she looked at Julie.But Julie couldn't remember anything, so she just nodded her head as a way of greeting.The clothes Wendy brought over were quite thoughtful, as she prepared several sets for each person.Hannah obediently went to change into lo
Terry reacted quickly too. Upon hearing Jessica's words, he closed the box and threw it back into the pit.Julie hurriedly filled the soil back with a shovel. This box of gold, indeed, could not be exposed to light casually!She guessed that there were valuable things hidden inside, otherwise, during the few days she was unconscious and drugged, it couldn't possibly have been dug up by the old man going up the mountain.In the first few days after waking up, Roberto still made her drink medicine.Although Julie didn't have the ability to distinguish medicines, she could clearly recognize the thick ginseng placed in the kitchen.Although it is said that all ginseng nowadays has been cultivated, the one Roberto uses for medicinal purposes is mostly wild, and it grows so long. It must be quite expensive.It should be at least a few thousand, if not tens of thousands.This was just the money for a medicine, and later Roberto also bought h
Hannah saw Terry coming and tactfully left the kitchen.Terry also glanced at Jessica and said, "I just saw a big yellow dog."Julie paused her action of scrubbing the pot and said, "Tsk, you're quite naughty too."Terry looked at her, his eyes twinkling with a smile. He didn't say anything, but Julie somehow understood what he meant from the look in his eyes.She averted her gaze and started heating up the pan.Roberto was very stingy. He didn't give her much money, even though he knew they were going to the market today.Julie had one hundred and fifty dollars in her pocket and wanted to buy everything. But after looking around, she paid eighty dollars for clothes, and she was left with seventy dollars in her hand.Fortunately, things in remote and impoverished areas were cheap. She bought several pounds of pork and pig bones. She originally wanted to buy chicken, but Roberto said there were wild chickens in the mountains. When she
