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
Hannah fell silent for a moment, looking at Paige in front of her, and took a deep breath. "So, what did you come to see me for today?"Paige's emotions had stabilized, and so much time had passed since everything happened that she had no choice but to accept it, even if she didn't want to."I wanted to come and say sorry to you. Three years ago, I suddenly brought people to find you and caused you a lot of harm.""It has already passed, you don't need to care about it anymore."Paige looked at Hannah and hesitated for a moment, "You also had the right to know about this matter.""Thank you."Hannah's mood was completely disrupted like this, "If there's nothing else, I'll have my assistant send you."She had not fully processed this matter yet, and when facing Paige, she did not know what she should say.This time, Paige did not insist on staying any longer, “Today, I bothered you."She stood up and bowed deeply to
Marriage was impossible, and Hannah never thought about getting married.Hannah directly rejected Joseph's proposal, and as for Kendall, there was no need to even think about it.The Howell family had a good relationship with the Hawthorne family, even disregarding the Hawthorne family's troubles. Mrs. Howell had a good relationship with Kendall's mom.If the two of them got together, they would never be able to separate, even in death.Hannah could still see these problems very clearly.Sometimes she was just slow, she wasn't really stupid.Perhaps afraid that she would really do something foolish, Mona called her in the evening and analyzed the pros and cons of getting married according to the agreement.After Hannah repeatedly assured herself that she had not reached such a desperate point, Mona finally hung up the phone.After being "beaten up" by Mona like that, Hannah directly blocked Kendall's phone number.The ne
Kendall suddenly wiped the smile off her face and said, "You know about my family's situation, right? My grandfather is not doing well, and if I don't get married, the Hawthorne Group will have to fall into someone else's hands."Although Hannah and Kendall didn't get along since childhood, she was indeed aware of the things happening in his family.After his father had an affair, there was an illegitimate child born who was only a few years younger than Kendall. Later, his mother divorced his father, and the illegitimate child came back rightfully.At first, Grandfather Kendall was very biased towards Kendall, after all, he was the grandson of the legitimate wife.Kendall's mother took him away back then, and Kendall also rarely came home over the years because of his father.The illegitimate child used to accompany Kendall's grandfather every day, you know, the older a person gets, the more they long for a harmonious family.Kendall's gran
Hannah suddenly felt very tired, a tiredness she had never experienced before."Whether you are Dominic or Foster, our relationship had already ended from the day you left. If I were you, I would have had the decency to leave at that point, preserving some dignity for both of us."In the end, no one's face would look good.Is it necessary? Isn't it better to break up peacefully?Hannah's personality has always been carefree and bold. Foster still remembers their first meeting, when she openly expressed her liking without any hesitation.Later on, she became even more crazy, and he went from being bored to uncontrollably infatuated. She was like an everlasting fire, enveloping him, and managed to melt his icy heart.But now, she says it's over.The fire was extinguished, but he had already melted. How could he possibly let go!"I never thought about leaving you."He said he would find her, he just came back a little late.
Foster had no shame, while Hannah dared not lose her own face.His words did hit the nail on the head, and Hannah dared not move. She even kept her head down, afraid that someone might take a video and upload it online, which could lead to Jessica, Mona, and others recognizing her.Foster's car was parked in a nearby parking lot. He carried her over a small path and they arrived at the car after a few steps.Hannah struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free, and could only watch as he put her into the car.Hannah had been taking the stomach-aiding and digestion-promoting pills for several minutes when she started to hiccup. As she was fastening her seatbelt, she hiccuped twice. Coincidentally, Foster walked in from the side and watched her. Although he didn't say anything, Hannah could see the amusement in his dark eyes.Her face stiffened for a moment, and she glared at him, saying, "What are you laughing at? Haven't you seen someone hiccup before?"Making a mountain out of a mo
Foster glanced at her and didn't have any objections, “I'll listen to you."Hannah stopped talking and walked here for nearly twenty minutes, feeling tired and hungry.The thin slices of pork belly were quickly grilled to perfection. Hannah has always loved eating grilled meat. She is the kind of person who would rather gain weight herself than miss out on enjoying a good meal of meat.She didn't speak, a piece of grilled meat wrapped in lettuce, topped with sauce, and then she stuffed it into her mouth.Foster looked at her as she put the meat into her mouth. Her lips were like a squirrel hiding a pine nut inside its mouth, and her cheeks were puffed up, making anyone who looked at her feel an increase in appetite.Foster rarely ate these, even during the difficult years, he didn't really touch them. When he was hungry, he would just eat a piece of bread and drink a large bottle of water.He was not like Hannah, who always seemed to have the greatest enthusiasm for food.On the contr
Foster didn't move, just watched her.The two of them stood facing each other, neither willing to take a step back.It was the rush hour at this time. Hannah was standing inside the car, while Foster was standing outside, attracting the attention of many passersby.Joe arrived and saw Hannah standing inside the car, confronting Foster with a cold expression on her face.He hesitated for a moment before walking over and said, "Mr. Carroway?"Foster glanced at him and handed his phone to Hannah, saying, "I'll take you back, and Joe will handle the rest for you."Hannah took back her phone, "No need."She looked at the time and it had already been seven or eight minutes. Shouldn't the people from the 4S store have arrived by now?Hannah got off the car and was about to make another phone call to the person over there when she saw a trailer driving towards her."Miss Howell, I'm sorry, there was traffic on the way, so I arrived late."Hannah didn't say anything, she just told them to quic
No one knew what was going on between Hannah and Foster. Rowan and Abigail returned empty-handed from Hannah's villa and had no choice but to reluctantly visit Foster in Kangsel.However, the two of them went to Kangsel for several days in a row but didn't see Foster. Rowan was doing better, but Abigail's family couldn't wait any longer. Abigail had no choice but to secretly go and find Hannah again.This time she couldn't even see Hannah, Hannah's assistant directly said that Hannah was not in the company, and she didn't wait for Hannah at the villa either.After another four or five days had passed, Abigail finally managed to get an opportunity to meet Hannah.Hannah had just caught a cold when she was stopped by Abigail. She frowned, her face looking somewhat cold.Abigail looked at her and came out directly, asking her for help in front of so many people.Hannah was annoyed. She had been avoiding Rowan and Abigail for the past few days, and it was making her restless. She was trul
Hannah was also wondering when Rowan had become so humble, to the point of coming to the company specifically to apologize to her.That night, if it hadn't been for Foster coming out and mentioning Mr. Everitt, Rowan clearly didn't even want to say sorry.Hmm, that's strange.She had just wanted to call Sophia, but to her surprise, Sophia had already come in. "Miss Howell, Rowan and Abigail said they forgot to mention something."Hannah raised an eyebrow and said, "Let them in."She said it, didn't she?Rowan and Abigail turned back again, they looked at each other, seemingly discussing who should speak.Hannah didn't want to care about it at all, she tapped the table with the pen in her hand and said, "Cut to the chase, are you two playing telepathy over there?"Rowan's face stiffened, and Abigail took the opportunity to speak, “Miss Howell, you just said, that night's incident, that night has already passed, so can you please ask the influential figure behind you to go easy on the t
