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 LSomeone 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
Justin did not know if Jessica did it on purpose, but he knew that Jessica would never take the initiative to visit him. Justin knew that it would certainly take time to persuade Lucas and Jessica to get married again, but the clock was ticking. Justin was no fool. A lot of things had happened these days. He supposed that the Hall family might not have responded yet. When they did and traced back to Justin, remarriage would be impossible then. The Hall family would be enraged. Justin wanted to make Jessica and Lucas remarry before the Hall family could react. Having heard what Wendy said, Justin thought for a while with a sullen face. "Miss Hall is busy. I can understand. I disturbed her. People at my age have a lot of free time. Please tell Miss Hall that I will be waiting for her. We'll have lunch together." Wendy nodded. "Yes, Mr. Thomas." Wendy knew she couldn't make their intentions too obvious. Jessica was making things hard for Justi
"Both our family and the Hall family are not ordinary families. Something like this can have a great impact on both our families. So I came to you this time to settle the whole thing." When Jessica heard that, she laughed. "What do you suggest then, Mr. Thomas? Perhaps I could use your wisdom." "Well, given where you and Lucas have come, it's quite tricky to deal with. I also know that you have always been in love with Lucas, Miss Hall. Back then, you married into our family because of Lucas. You divorced him because you felt that Lucas did not love you, and you were wronged in the family. Up to now, you two have been divorced for a year. And over this year, I have also reflected a lot. As Lucas' grandfather, I have to admit that I didn't do well and have let you suffer in our Thomas family. "As for Lucas, he has never been a man who displays his emotions. If he didn't like you back then, why would he insist on marrying you when I was against it? His personali
Jessica looked at Justin, who was standing in front of her. She had to admit that Justin was a skillful liar. Wedding before procedures? What was the difference? In that case, people would all assume that she was married to Lucas. That was really a good plan. In the end, Justin was trying to trap Jessica. Justin's words made Jessica, who originally had some sympathy for him, feel very unhappy. She said nonchalantly, "Mr. Thomas, your top priority right now is receiving treatment. As for what you said, I will consider it carefully. Give me some time." "Miss Hall, it's not that I don't understand you. It's just that I don't have much time left." Justin coughed twice, looking very weak. "How about this? I'll think about it today and give you an answer tonight. What do you think?" Jessica looked very sincere so that Justin couldn't push her any further. "Then I'll be waiting for your call." Justin had been waiting in the conference room for a
