Jessica usually wouldn't drink too much at any dinner party. If it weren't for the fact that one of the guests was in charge of the approval of her projects, Jessica would probably have started to refuse the drinks. Jessica frowned at her glass. She didn't feel like drinking any more wine. Thus, Jessica decided to pretend to puke. After all, no one would dare to make things difficult for her. With that in mind, Jessica lowered her head. Suddenly, a cold voice chimed in, "Mr. Wyatt, I'd like to propose a toast." It was Lucas. He hadn't even looked at Jessica since he entered, but now he had solved her problem. Jessica lowered her eyes and looked at the wine glass in her hand. Then people started to make fun of the two. Someone teased Lucas, saying he must be protecting Jessica. "Well, well, well. Despite his young age, Mr. Thomas seemed to be reminiscent. Miss Hall is, after all, Mr. Thomas' ex-wife. We'll respect Mr. Thomas' choice!" "Miss Hall drank quite a lot toni
Lucas felt that he was haunted today. Jessica was the only lady at the table, so the men found all kinds of excuses to push her to drink. When Mr. Wyatt poured more wine for Jessica, Lucas couldn't help but look over. Jessica was two people away from Lucas, so he couldn't see the look on her face clearly. But still, Lucas could tell that Jessica wasn't feeling well. Lucas didn't want to help Jessica at first. It was not his place to help her. But Lucas just couldn't bear to see Jessica frowning. He chimed in anyway and drew the big shots' attention to himself. And he could have stopped after two glasses of wine. Yet he didn't. As long as someone filled his glass, he would drink it as if he was drinking water. Lucas didn't know what he was doing. He recalled a text in Jessica's old cell. "He seemed to have drunk a lot today. He tossed a glance at me, on purpose or not. Nice!" In the past, Jessica was indeed deeply in love with Lucas. She could even be pleased by his
Lucas and Justin made quite a big noise in the study. Dwayne could even hear their conversation from outside. Naturally, Rebecca, who had followed Lucas upstairs, heard what Justin had said too. Dwayne had no right to tell Rebecca to leave. Rebecca said she had something to say to Lucas and would just wait outside. At first, Lucas and Justin didn't make too much noise, so Dwayne didn't ask Rebecca to leave. He could never have guessed that the two would end up quarreling. Well, that couldn't count as a quarrel. Justin did all the yelling. That was no big deal since he was Lucas' grandfather. But things became awkward when Justin mentioned Louis and Louis' mistress. Rebecca was Louis' wife. The topic Justin had brought up was embarrassing to her. Right now, Justin was obviously furious, and Dwayne didn't dare to knock on the door to interrupt him. He could only stand there expressionlessly. Rebecca had been marri
Though Justin cared about benefits a lot, he had admitted that Louis couldn't marry a wife with a better family background than Rebecca. Louis' reputation was already ruined. But Rebecca was too weak to control her husband. Her son was not close to her, and she couldn't teach her daughter well, either. If Max was still alive, Justin would still take his daughter—in—law seriously, but now that Max was gone and Lucas was not close to Rebecca, Justin could just vent his anger on her. He paused for a moment and said, "Whatever. I don't care if she heard it or not." Even if Justin decided to welcome Louis' wife to the Thomas family, Rebecca wouldn't dare to have any objections. Dwayne looked at Justin, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Thomas, actually, Lucas still respects Mrs. Thomas." Justin frowned and said, "Fine. Tell her to come up later." After all, Rebecca was Lucas' mother. Rebecca only
Lucas felt as if he had a headache. "Please don't get me wrong. That's not what I mean. I just feel that you have been trapped in this house for so many years. Now that you are in your later years, you don't have to stay here for anyone." This was the first time Rebecca had heard Lucas say such sweet things to her. Rebecca's eyes turned red. "You don't have to worry about me. I'm doing well." Rebecca was numb to many things now. She wished nothing but the best for her children. Lucas knew Rebecca was stubborn and didn't want to say anything more. "Take care of yourself. I'll mind my own business." "Okay, then come back to eat more often when you have time." "I see." Lucas responded and turned to leave. Despite what he said, Lucas actually didn't want to come back even if he had time. Rebecca was not the reason. It was just the Thomas family was like a cage to Lucas. Too depressing. Too suffocating. Rebecca saw L
Someone else confirmed what the netizen said. Justin did visit the Hall's villa in New York that day. After all, the plane tickets could be traced back easily. Since the visit was true, the news that Jessica and Lucas were planning their remarriage must be true as well. After Morgan read the jibber—jabber of these people, his face turned grim. Morgan had learned about Justin's tricks before. So he figured out what was going on within a few minutes. What an old fox! Step by step, Justin pushed Jessica into the game. Now that Jessica was in, Justin blocked her way out. After so many years, Justin was still as despicable and shameless as before! After realizing this, Morgan hurried to call Jessica. He was not in a hurry to settle accounts with Justin. The most important thing now was to let Jessica understand everything. It was just a trap set up by the Thomas family! Jessica had just woken up. She didn't exp
Lucas gazed at the door, and after a while, he took out a cigar from a drawer and lit it. The sky had completely turned dark, and there was no light in the office except for the sparks of the cigar. When Vincent pushed open the door and entered, he was shocked by the darkness. He thought that Lucas had left. So he went to turn on the light. The light illuminated the entire office. Vincent saw Lucas sitting in the office chair. With his head bent, Lucas had an air of coldness. Vincent's hand trembled. "Mr. Thomas, I'm sorry. I thought you had already left." Lucas simply looked up at him but didn't say anything. He then left his office with his car key and phone. Lucas got into the car and drove directly to Jessica's apartment. When he arrived, he stopped the car but did not get out immediately. He just lowered the window and glanced outside. A blue sports car stopped beside him. The person who got out of the car was Hannah, Je
Hannah nodded. "Luna and Trissy are so disgusting. Trissy used to pretend she had an affair with Lucas to embarrass you, and Luna pretended to be pregnant. She even hired someone to dress up like Lucas. They even spread rumors to ruin your reputation. I don't think you can let them get away again, right?" Jessica smiled and said, "don't worry, I won't let anyone who dares to provoke me get away." That included Lucas, Trissy, and even Justin... Jessica would see to it that they learned their lessons. When Hannah heard that, she knew that Jessica already had a plan in mind. She could not help but feel a little excited. "What's your plan?" Jessica glanced at her. "I've told you. Haven't decided yet." It was true. There were so many people involved this time. Besides, there was one trap after another. Since Jessica wanted to settle the scores, she naturally had to learn from the worst and give them a little surprise. Hannah was a little
