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
It seemed that Morgan knew Justin well after all. The latest rumors had a great impact on Jessica and even the Hall family. Yesterday, Morgan received two calls. The callers asked if he wanted to join forces with the Thomas Group. That was why Jessica was so angry this time. She was angry at Lucas not because he failed to stop Justin, but because he asked for her forgiveness when he didn't do anything to make up for her. In the past, Jessica made Lucas the priority. That was the cause of their divorce. Now, all the people in the upper-class society were laughing at Jessica, not for her colorful private life, but for her remarriage to Lucas within a year after her well-known divorce. To be honest, many people looked down on Jessica. Morgan only had one daughter. In the future, the huge Hall family was destined to be in her hands, so there were many people who wanted to marry Jessica. However, Jessica turned back to her
Morgan had been in the business world for so many years, how could he not understand what Justin was implying? However, Morgan's achievements today meant that he was not the kind of person to be trifled with. No matter what Justin said, Morgan only just said, "Mr. Thomas, I understand your concerns, but I'm old and have already seen through these things. I still respect my daughter's choice." Justin did not expect that early in the morning, after wasting so much time, all he got from Morgan was "I just hope Jessica is happy. She can do whatever she wants." When he heard that for the third time, Justin had run out of patience. "Mr. Hall, you are such a good father! Since you are very busy, I won't disturb you anymore." Justin then hung up the phone. He didn't reach an agreement with Morgan. Justin did not expect that Morgan still did not care about the rumors at all. Justin was baffled. Didn't Morgan know how people commented on Jessica now
Olivia asked behind her, "So how do I find you then?""Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, I will come to the front of this store."Jessica tightened her backpack and quickly plunged into the crowd at the market.Olivia quickly took out her phone and called Lucas.It was Jessica! She really found Jessica!When the phone rang, Lucas frowned. He thought it was something related to work and didn't even want to look at his phone.However, the phone in his pocket kept ringing incessantly. Annoyed, Lucas took out his phone and asked, "What's the matter?""Brother! I found Jessica! Brother! I found her!"Upon hearing Olivia's words on the phone, Lucas thought he had misheard, "Could you repeat that?""I found Jessica! Dude! Really! But she seemed...""Where were you?""Where am I? Oh, right, I was in Long Town, in front of a clothing store called 'Fashion Apparel Shop'.""I knew it."After hanging up th
Olivia was very excited. Since the incident of being kidnapped, she had been reflecting on many things she had done in the past. She realized that she had indeed done many childish and unwise things before she matured.It has been half a month since the kidnapping incident, she is safe and sound, but Jessica has remained silent all along.Olivia occasionally recalled that night, Jessica's hint to herself, and felt a little guilty in her heart.She wanted to find Jessica, but she couldn't endure hardships and climb mountains, so she had to bring people with her to go from village to village to find her.Long Town is only about thirty kilometers away from Copper Town, where Jessica went missing.This was her first time coming to such a backward place, where the so-called market was all on one street. Olivia called out several times, but Jessica quickly disappeared into the crowd.Olivia stood there, doubting if she had mistaken someone.
The incident involving Olivia and Jessica quickly spread within the circle. As Terry, Lucas, and Morgan, along with others, searched for Jessica, the news of her disappearance couldn't be concealed.On the fifth day of Jessica's disappearance, Lucas went straight to Terry and demanded Luna without hesitation.Terry had not had a good night's sleep for five consecutive days. Every time he closed his eyes, Jessica would cry and ask him why he hadn't arrived yet.When Lucas came over, he had just returned from Irvine.He and Morgan searched Santa Ana and Oceanside almost carpet-like, but couldn't find Jessica. The reward notices sent out also didn't yield any valid information.They still haven't been able to determine which city Jessica escaped to.Finding someone in a city was already like finding a needle in a haystack, and now there are even more cities.The only fortunate thing was that Jerry, based on the contact information provid
Terry and Lucas arrived at Jerry's place in the afternoon, and it had been fifty hours since Jessica went missing.Terry had two properties over here, which were early development projects by the Davison Group. He came over for a business trip and bought them three months ago. Now it's convenient for hiding Luna."Mr. Davison, Mr. Thomas."Jerry opened the door and Luna, who was already tied up by him, was sitting on the chair.After he opened the door, he voluntarily left. Terry, Lucas, and Luna were the only ones left in the room.Seeing Lucas, Luna smiled and said, "Lucas, did you receive the gift I gave you?"Lucas gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger, "Where is Jessica?""Dead! Didn't I send you the ashes?"Luna spoke and glanced at Terry, "By the way, did you give that ring back to Mr. Davison?"Terry stood aside, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, without saying a word.Luna giggled and said, "M
Terry didn't say much and hung up the phone directly.Rodney saw him hang up the phone before he continued speaking, "Mr. Davison, what do you have in mind?""My thoughts aligned with Rodney's, so we relied on Rodney over here."The police in Phoenix and LA collaborated and came from LA to Phoenix, passing through five cities. Phoenix was responsible for searching near Surprise and Tucson on this side, while the police on the LA side were responsible for searching in the cities of Santa Ana, Oceanside, and San Diego.Rodney looked at Terry and couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment. Last night, Terry was so anxious that he actually vomited blood. Rodney had been in the industry for many years and had some experience, but this kidnapping case was different from the others. It wasn't for money or profit; it was for revenge.The other party had clear intentions and was extremely cunning. They had also made preparations in advance, making it ev
"Is it me? Have you got any news?""I was in Phoenix and had just received a package from Luna. Inside, there was a ring, Luna's letter, and... an urn."Terry's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "urn". "Where are you?" he asked."Just left Finger Cliff.""I was watching the surveillance footage at the police station."Upon hearing his words, Lucas on the other end of the phone immediately said, "I'm coming over."Terry responded with a sound, hung up the phone, and raised his hand to vigorously wipe his face.He was not in the mood to watch the surveillance footage anymore. He had been staring at it for over seven hours since around four o'clock in the morning, and his eyes were already hurting.However, with so many vehicles, he did not find any car with abnormalities."Rodney."Terry stood up and looked at Rodney.Seeing that he finally agreed to take a break, Rodney breathed a sigh of relief a
That evening was clearly painful and unbearable.When Terry woke up, it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night.The ward was very quiet. As soon as he opened his eyes, he instinctively looked for Jessica.However, everything around him was unfamiliar, without Jessica, only he himself.He still had an IV drip in his hand, but Terry directly pulled out the needle. Just as he walked out of the ward, he happened to see Rodney walking towards him from the direction of the elevator.Terry ran over directly and asked, "How is Jessica doing, Rodney?"Rodney glanced at Terry, feeling a bit reluctant. "Mr. Davison, I'm sorry, but up until now, we haven't received any news about Ms. Hall."Upon hearing Rodney's words, Terry trembled slightly and asked, "Has Lucas contacted me?""Mr. Thomas called shortly after you had just passed out, and he was also inquiring about Ms. Hall's condition."There was no news from e
When Luna woke up, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.She was hanging on the cliff for nearly three hours. Although she didn't suffer much injury, she had a fever because of fear and the cold sea breeze blowing on the cliff for more than three hours at night. When she was taken to the hospital, her temperature had risen to forty degrees. It wasn't until after eleven o'clock at night that the fever finally subsided.Plus, the things she has experienced in the past few days have been too horrifying. She has been living in fear for so long that her mental state is almost on the verge of collapse. After waking up, she completely lost control of her emotions and screamed while holding her head.Upon hearing Olivia's cry, Vincent quickly instructed the person next to him to go in and comfort Olivia, then turned around and ran downstairs to the hospital to find Lucas.When he found Lucas, Lucas was sitting in the smoking area, with a trash can right
The man in the passenger seat frowned when he saw the situation and said, "Hasn't he died?"He said as he bent down and checked Olivia's breath, feeling a faint pulse in his hand. The man breathed a sigh of relief, "She's not dead."Saying that, he grabbed Olivia's hand, hoisted her up, and threw her back into the car. "Let's go, to Wind Cliff!"The van started up again, and Olivia inside had already fainted.When Olivia woke up again, she found herself dropped down a cliff, with a vast sea below.She screamed loudly in fright, and the two men on the cliff heard her scream, furrowing their brows, but no one paid attention to her.Carson City was gradually getting dark at seven o'clock when Lucas arrived at Wind Cliff, precisely at half past seven.The sky had already turned completely dark, and the sea water surged up, with the water below churning fiercely.Lucas did not see Olivia, and there was no one on the cliff.Ho
