"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 personaliJessica 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
"Juvenile? Lucas, do you think I'm juvenile?" "You are always credulous. You trust people who don't deserve your trust. They can only affect your judgment. Aren't you juvenile?" Terry laughed. "Lucas, you are too conceited!" Terry then snorted. "Lucas, you are not the only one who is right in this world. The difference between you and me doesn't make me wrong. You are too conceited." But Lucas did not want to argue with Terry. He was afraid that Jessica would come down like the last time and then see him and Terry in a ridiculous fight. Lucas glanced at Terry coldly, then turned and left. Lucas was annoyed. Because he realized that Terry had fallen for Jessica indeed. Terry got close to Jessica not because he wanted to go against Lucas. Terry did that simply because he was in love with Jessica. When he realized this, Lucas' face immediately darkened. He turned around, only to find Terry had already vanished from
