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 plaTerry 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
Jessica followed him into the steakhouse. It was dinner time, there weren't any vacancies. But Terry had already made a reservation in advance, so once they arrived, a waitress came over to lead the way. The environment was delightful. Though all the seats were taken, the place wasn't noisy at all. There was also a violinist on the spot. The appetizers were served soon. Jessica did not eat anything at noon. After several hours of meeting, she was already starving. She glanced at Terry and said, "I'm a little hungry. Do you mind if I start eating now?" He raised an eyebrow and pushed the soup towards Jessica. "Do you have to ask that?" Jessica smiled and did not say anything else. She lowered her head and started eating. Ladies didn't talk when eating, so Jessica kept mum during the meal. Both kept silent during the meal. Terry had already finished eating. He sat there and watched her quietly. When Jessica finished, he asked, "Jessic
What the Thomas family had done caught Luna and Trissy off guard. Since Luna learned about the news yesterday, she had never thought of any solution. A good solution might mean that they could get into the Thomas family, so Trissy was quite anxious when Luna couldn't come up with one. "Luna, have you thought of anything? If you can't, then I'll do it my way!" At this time, Luna was also very agitated. When she heard that, she glanced at Trissy. "Trissy, what's your plan then?" "Previously, we spread the news that you were pregnant, but it didn't ripple much. Jessica's scandal caused an uproar, but Mr. Thomas actually did not care. Can't you tell that something was not right?" Trissy made a fair point. That was what made Luna at a loss. In retrospect, Luna realized that she and Trissy might have been made use of by Justin. If that was true, then Jessica... Luna hated where the deduction was going. If that was true, then Jessica was t
