  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.

      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

     Jessica looked at the suitcase that Terry had given her. After hesitating for a moment, she still carried the suitcase and went in.  Jessica saw the way Terry had just looked at her. His eyes were red. She could read helplessness and pain in his eyes as if he was a child who had done something wrong, not knowing how to make up for it.  Jessica couldn't bear to see him like that, but her heart was indeed a mess now.  Jessica lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and closed the door.  Jessica sat on the sofa for a long time and she felt that she was a little too cruel to Terry.  She put her hand on her eyes and leaned against the sofa. She then fell asleep.  After some time, Jessica was woken up by her ringing phone.  She froze a bit and then got up from the sofa. She saw the caller's number. It was Wendy calling, reminding her of a meeting to attend.  Jessica rubbed her head and answered the phone. "Wendy, I'm sorry. I'm in the middle o

      Wendy felt relaxed and joked, "Miss Hall, it seems that you are quite satisfied with Mr. Davison."  Jessica did not see that coming. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Perhaps you may go to the meeting room now."  "Yes, Miss Hall."  After Wendy knew that Jessica had no intention of remarrying Lucas, she was no longer worried about Jessica.  But the news spread too fast and the people in the company also knew about it. Many people were privately discussing Jessica and Lucas' remarriage.  When Justin heard that Jessica had agreed, he immediately had people spread the news that Jessica was going to remarry Lucas.  He set the wedding in the middle of the next month and then informed Lucas of the wedding date without asking his opinion. Justin then hurried to have the invitations and the ceremony prepared.  Not only did people in LA know about Jessica's remarriage, but all in the US had known about it.  When Morgan and May heard that, they t

      Though Lucas didn't seem to have confirmed, Hari knew that was a yes. He was very surprised. "What's wrong with Jessica? Why will she remarry you? Is she lying to you? Did you check with her? Is this really happening?"  Hari threw over one question after another, like a shooting rifle.  Lucas found what Hari said quite upsetting. "Why can't she marry me again?"  "Given where you two have come, I don't think she will remarry you if she's rational."  "Now you are saying Jessica is being irrational?"  Lucas' voice sounded cold. Hari could tell his displeasure, so he stopped teasing and said, "Well, not necessarily. Perhaps you're her true love after all."  It could be true love, but to put it bluntly, it was foolishness, too.  However, Lucas was Hari's buddy. Since Jessica was willing to remarry Lucas, Hari was happy for him.  Lucas did not want to listen to Hari's voice anymore, so he hung up the phone.  Hanging up the phone, Luc

Seeing Hannah's exhausted appearance, she let out a slight sigh and didn't say anything.The cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death is a daily occurrence in the ICU.Hannah stood there for a moment, then she turned and sat down on a nearby chair."Ms. Howell."When Samuel called her, Hannah only lifted her head slightly and asked, "Is there something you need, Mr. Compton?""I had something I wanted to give you."Hannah bit her teeth and said, "Let him do it himself."Samuel didn't respond to her words, taking out a box from his pocket and handing it over.

    Foster did not wake up until after 5 o'clock in the afternoon.The attending doctor delicately stated Foster's condition, "The patient's condition, the patient's family should be mentally prepared."Hannah heard these words and her legs immediately went weak.She instinctively reached out and grabbed Jessica, who quickly supported her. "Hannah, you have to believe him."Hannah grabbed Jessica's wrist, her strength was so strong that her nails almost embedded into Jessica's flesh.But she was completely unaware: "Jessica, I also want to believe him, but he has always been deceiving me, he has been deceiving me all along!"She also wanted to believe him, but Foster had never told her a single truth.He didn't even give her any promises, he didn't even say "I love you" to her.What did she use to trust him, and how should she trust him?Jessica didn't know what to say either, at this moment, anything she said would be futile."Foster, I hated you, I hated you!"She gritted her teeth and,

    "Five minutes, Ms. Howell, you couldn't stay here for long. If you have anything to say to the patient, say it quickly."Hannah gratefully glanced at the nurse, "I would soon be leaving."The nurse glanced at her again and entered the nearby monitoring room.Hannah reached out and tugged on Foster's pinky finger, "Were you dreaming for me? Are you leaving? Are you a coward, Foster? Are you not seeking revenge anymore? Are you really never going to see me again?"If possible, she really wanted to slap him hard to wake him up."I don't care if you are Dominic or Foster, I have prayed to the Buddha beads for you. Your life will be fine, don't listen to the nonsense of those evil spirits, I won't allow you to leave! I don't want you to go!""Foster, you were doing fine. If you dare to just walk away like this, I will hate you for the rest of my life!"Hannah almost gritted her teeth as she finished speaking. She didn't stay for the full five minutes, but only two minutes before leaving.J

    Hannah also had no intention of asking further: "Well, forget it then."No one spoke, and the entrance to the ICU ward returned to calm.Joe remained silent for a moment before he couldn't hold back and said, "Ms. Howell, there are two reasons why Mr. Carroway came back, and one of the reasons, if I were to say it, would not be good for you."He said, pausing for a moment, "But the second reason, I can tell you.""What is it?""For you."Hannah's little finger trembled slightly, and she sneered, "Is that so?"She didn't believe much."I followed Mr. Carroway for over two years. Mr. Carroway had a severe case of insomnia, and there was a period of time when he could only fall asleep by drinking a large amount of alcohol."Once, Mr. Carroway got drunk and in the middle of the night, he called me in a daze, saying he had a stomachache. I hurriedly rushed to his apartment and when I carried him on my back to the hospital, I heard him shouting your name.That night, when he rushed to Foste

    He had just been about to take the jade bracelet to the bathroom for Foster when the man had already briskly emerged from the bathroom, his indifferent eyes carrying a hint of panic: "Have you seen my bracelet?""Was it this one?""It was this, thank you."Foster took the bracelet back and neatly placed it inside his pocket.That was the first time he saw Foster, and he only felt a chilling aura emanating from the man, devoid of any trace of vitality.Hannah swallowed and raised her hand to rub her eyelids. "So, how did you end up working for him?"After my mother passed away, I was chased by loan sharks and evicted by my landlord. With only ten dollars, I went to the bar where I worked part-time to spend the night. That evening, Mr. Carroway got drunk and had his wallet stolen. He fought with the person who took it, and I saw someone pull out a gun and point it at Mr. Carroway.Joe reminisced about the past, saying, "Not two days after that day, Mr. Carroway drove to the bar to find

    "I understood how you felt, and you didn't need to explain to me. You grew up, and you had your own judgment. Brother believes in you."This was probably a moment of warmth for Hannah in her anxious day. She covered her face and took a moment to relax. "I'm going to wash my face."Eden sighed as he watched Hannah's figure disappear.He indeed looked down on Foster, but now that Foster is in trouble, he doesn't want to rub salt in Hannah's wound.Hesitating, Eden had already taken out his phone and made a call to his secretary.Eden's secretary knew that he was going to have dinner with Hannah tonight. When she received the call just now, she thought that Eden had finished so quickly, and couldn't help but be surprised, saying, "Mr. Howell?""Help me check something.""You said.""Foster was involved in a car accident last night. Can you please check for me if those people were responsible for the accident?"Eden's secretary was somewhat shocked, both by Foster's car accident and by th

    Hannah kept her head down and remained silent. Eden's patience ran out, "Hannah, you're not a child anymore, you're thirty years old. Uncle and Aunt love you, and you should also understand them. Let's not even talk about whether Foster is worthy of you or not. He deceived you out of a large sum of money and disappeared for over three years. He is not someone who truly cares for you."The waiter pushed the food cart over, Eden pursed her lips and fell silent.Hannah took a deep breath. She knew everything Eden said, and she had no intention of getting back together with Foster. In fact, even before today, she had already prepared to throw away everything they had once had and move on.But unfortunately, at that very moment, he had a car accident.She also didn't know how to describe her feelings. Fear had already taken up most of it, with reason and pain pulling in opposite directions. She was caught in the middle, feeling like her head was about to explode."Let's eat first."Eden si

    Joe went home at noon and took some clean clothes. These days, he planned to stay at the hotel across the street from the hospital.Just as he returned to the ICU, he saw Hannah walking out of the elevator.Joe was somewhat surprised and quickly sat up from his chair, "Ms. Howell?"Hannah nodded and handed him the anklet she had in her hand, saying, "This is Dominic, Foster gave it to me before, it's been blessed, you can put it on him later."She didn't want to say more, so she put down the ankle chain and left.Joe didn't know what to ask either, so he had to take the chain.The nurse came over and let him go into the ICU to talk to Foster. Joe removed the poison from the red string that Hannah gave him and took it with him into the ICU.Foster still didn't wake up, the instruments showed everything was normal, but he still didn't wake up.After the nurse left, Joe took the red rope and looped it around Foster's left hand.He didn't know what to say either, so Joe stood for a moment

    But she couldn't control it at all, tears just fell down from the corners of her eyes, as if they were free.Hannah couldn't suppress her emotions any longer. She immediately squatted down, burying her head between her legs, and started sobbing softly.How did he become like this?In the spacious ICU room, there was only the sound of Hannah's sobbing.After crying for a while, Hannah finally gritted her teeth to calm herself down.She didn't have any tissues, her palms and the back of her hands were covered in tears, so she had to lift her skirt and wipe the tears off her face. Only then did she stand up again and look at Foster on the sickbed, choking up as she spoke, "The doctor said you have no will to live, and I don't know why you suddenly lost your will to live. You did so much for your family's sake, why would you give up now?"At this point, Hannah choked back her tears and felt a surge of grievances: "You abandoned me without a second thought back then, all for the sake of yo
