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, JeHannah 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
Jessica hung up the phone and put on a mischievous smile. She wondered if Justin would become furious and really end up in the hospital in due course. Right after Jessica's call, Justin dialed Lucas' number. Justin knew that Jessica wouldn't be so heartless. After all, she had been deeply in love with Lucas before. Jessica rejected Lucas last night. When Lucas went back to his own apartment, he locked her phone in a cabinet. He was determined to ignore Jessica and anything related to her. Lucas frowned when he saw the caller ID on his phone. Justin called him only for two things. One, pushing Lucas to remarry Jessica. Two, telling Lucas to eat at home. Lucas liked neither. He looked at the phone that was vibrating on the table and had no intention of answering. The phone vibrated for about half a minute before it hung up automatically. However, in just two seconds, the phone vibrated again. The caller ID
Before finding out that Justin was pretending to be sick, Jessica still hedged about retaliating against Justin. However, after learning that Justin was pretending to be sick to gain her sympathy, although Jessica did not say anything, she was furious. She also realized that Olivia and the Cheek sisters were not the only reason why she couldn't get back together with Lucas. It was also because Lucas was the heir of the Thomas family. Lucas could send Olivia away and punish Luna, but he could do nothing to Justin. In that case, Jessica would have to take the initiative. They would be even then and Lucas wouldn't feel guilty anymore. Even if Lucas might hate her, she didn't care. She only wanted to get rid of the past. It didn't take Jessica a long time to "think" about the wedding with Lucas. She left the meeting room at seven in the evening and called Lucas. After the divorce, Jessica directly blacklisted Lucas. Jessica never though
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
