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
When Jessica and Terry walked out of the steakhouse to the parking lot, they happened to run into some students sending out questionnaires. Jessica and Terry were stopped. "Mister, Miss, can you please fill out some questionnaires for us?" "Sure." Jessica was in a good mood today, so she agreed. That was not something she would normally take a fancy to. She took over the pen and filled it out. Seeing that, Terry did the same. More than ten seconds later, Jessica and Terry were both done. They were about to leave when a girl took out a bag and asked, "Thank you guys for your help. Here are some little gifts." Jessica did not take them over. "Thanks, but no thanks." The girl seemed to be a little disappointed. On the side, Terry suddenly chimed in, "You got us wrong. This beautiful lady here is not my girlfriend. Any other choices we have?" Hearing that, the girl seemed to be delighted yet also a little embarrassed when she loo
When Jessica and Terry returned to the car, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Terry drove on their way back. Jessica didn't sleep well recently. She fell asleep right after getting into the car. Only when the car suddenly stopped with a bang did Jessica wake up. Jessica opened her eyes and looked at Terry, still in a haze. "What's wrong? A shunt?" "No biggie. Stay in the car." As he spoke, Terry had already unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. As Terry opened the car door, some cold air blew in, which made Jessica sober up at once. She looked at the two men who got out of the car ahead. The driver was obviously legless. He walked up to Terry and tried to push Terry. But Terry dodged him. The driver spoke loudly. "Are you blind? Do you even know how to drive? I want indemnity! You are not going anywhere before giving me 10 thousand dollars." As the man spoke, he pulled out an iron rod from the trunk and pla
Terry stepped forward and explained the situation to the police with a smile, "My name is Terry Davison. Half an hour ago, when we were driving normally, the car ahead suddenly braked. I had no choice but to brake too. That's why I hit their car. The driver then got out of the car and asked me for 10,000 dollars. I smelt alcohol on that gentleman. They were all drunk, so I didn't want to argue with them. I pretended to agree to the compensation and asked my friend, Jessica, to call the police, but before my friend could call the police, this gentleman took an iron rod from the trunk... "Their request was very rude. As a man, I couldn't bear to see my friend get insulted like that. So I stopped them. But the gentleman was angry and tried to hit me with the rod. The other gangsters joined the fight, too." Trey stated the incident clearly. And in the end, he tilted his head and smiled, pointing to the car that had been smashed by Billy. "Officer, the drive recorder of o
Jessica was not surprised at all. After all, she had already agreed to remarry Lucas. Justin certainly wanted them to hold the wedding as soon as possible. Jessica seemed too calm to Lucas. Lucas felt that Jessica did not seem willing to remarry him at all. "Jessica, do you really want to remarry me?" Jessica looked at him, the smile on her face fading. "I said I want to take revenge on you." Her answer remained unchanged. Lucas pursed his lips. "If you think it's too fast, I can talk to Grandpa and put the wedding off for some time. We..." Lucas was trying to say "we could try seeing each other again first". Yet Jessica spoke over him. "Since he's in such a hurry. Let's do it as soon as possible." She also wanted to settle it as soon as possible. She was eager to cut ties with the Thomas family for good. Jessica didn't feel like talking to Lucas anymore. She was afraid that she might not be heartless enough to do this. With that, L
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
