When Hannah heard what Jessica said, she wanted to say something but stopped short when she noticed that the reporters were approaching.
Hannah knew it was not the perfect time for joking, so she drove away with Jessica right away. Not long after the car drove out of the hotel, Hannah looked at the rearview mirror and could not help but snort. "Well, well, Jess. You're indeed something. I think Terry is quite obsessed with you." Jessica also saw the car that was closely following through the rearview mirror. She looked up slightly and said, "Eyes on the road. You were stopped by a cop last time you drove me, weren't you?" Hannah found it hard to argue. How could Jessica tease her like that? Every time! Hannah didn't dare to provoke Jessica anymore. Just then, the traffic light turned green, so Hannah started the car again and drove forward. Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped outside Jessica's apartment. Hannah pursed her lips anJessica's dress was very revealing, so she had to straighten her back after taking a seat. The phone she had placed on the table constantly lit up. It was the message from Hannah. However, since Terry was with her, Jessica decided to reply later. Terry took two sips of coffee and broke the silence. "That night you told me that what happened five years ago was not the reason why you married Lucas." Jessica would have forgotten about it if Terry hadn't brought it up again. She had asked Wendy to look into what happened that night, but she found nothing. Later, she gradually forgot what happened that night. It was nothing more than an accident. When nobody mentioned it, Jessica didn't feel so curious. But people were all curious. Now that Terry mentioned it again, her curiosity was raised again. "I asked my secretary to look into it, but I got nothing." Jessica raised her eyebrows, "So what on earth happened that night?"
Jessica was not completely absent-minded. When Terry looked at her just now, she could feel his eyes getting more and more affectionate. She didn't dare to look up at him. Watching Terry walk further away, Jessica suddenly remembered something. "Terry!" She stood up from the sofa. When she looked up, she saw the lipstick mark on Terry's face. The mark didn't have a lip shape and was just a touch of red. Yet anyone who saw it would know what was going on. Jessica raised her hand, and it trembled slightly. "There's something on your face." Terry's eyes flickered as he reached out to wipe his face. When he saw the lipstick mark on his finger, he immediately understood what Jessica meant. "Can I use your bathroom?" Jessica nodded. "Of course, as you please." Jessica felt awkward staying any longer and turned back to her room. The door was gently closed. Terry left, leaving Jessica alone in the room. After a while, Jessica
Justin woke up on the bed. He rolled his eyes and finally fixed them on Lucas. "Lucas, stay here." He had just been rescued but he still remembered everything that had happened at the wedding. Rebecca pursed her lips. She had expected this to happen. She crossed her arms and left the ward. Dwayne closed the door and left the ward. Soon, only Lucas and Justin were left in the ward. "Jessica did it on purpose." Justin's tone was firm. It wasn't a question. Lucas did not speak. He sat on the sofa with his head slightly lowered. He was holding a phone in his hand. That dumbphone was produced more than ten years ago. It even had buttons. Seeing Lucas keep silent and look down at the phone, Justin became even more furious. "What's the use of looking at that damn phone? Our family became a laughing stock because of you!" This time, Lucas stood up from the sofa. He looked at Justin, who was still using an oxygen mask, and said
Lucas came out of the ward with a grim face. Rebecca wanted to ask him what this was all about, but in the end, she didn't. She didn't want to annoy Lucas when he was already in a bad mood. Having noticed that Lucas had walked out of the ward, Louis walked over. Louis looked at Lucas and snorted. "Jessica must have plotted the whole thing." With that, Lucas turned to stare at Louis. Louis' face turned pale when he saw the coldness in Lucas' golden eyes. He couldn't help but step back. Louis tried to say something, yet he didn't dare to. Lucas then walked away and disappeared at the corner. Louis only moved slightly when Lucas was out of his sight. Louis' face then recovered, yet his blazer was drenched with sweat. Lucas looked like a cruel beast as though he would dash over and tear Louis apart if he dared to say one more word. Lucas looked so scary. Ever since Louis had started a new family with another woman outside,
Lucas looked down but didn't reach out to pick it up. A moment later, Lucas took out another cigarette. In fact, he never liked cigarettes. He only cared for an occasional cigar. But he began to smoke cigarettes after a gathering with Hari and their friends after he divorced Jessica. Harry told Lucas that Jessica seemed to have been with Terry. After hearing that, Lucas felt upset and picked up a cigarette on the table. The smell of nicotine was very strong. In fact, cigarettes didn't smell or taste good. Yet when the smoke entered one's mouth and lungs, it would numb his senses for a moment, shielding him from reality. That was exactly what Lucas was doing now. He knew Jessica was the plotter. But the question remained whether Jessica was still in love with him or not. Was she? Lucas exhaled a mouthful of smoke and found that the question kept lingering. He couldn't stop thinking about it even when he was smoking.
As soon as Morgan's remarks came out, the Internet went into an uproar. Now that Justin had finally recovered a little, Dwayne didn't dare to show him Morgan's interview. The Thomas family had truly become a joke in LA. No one had expected what Morgan said. It proved that Lucas and Jessica's remarriage was nothing but a rumor. Yet the interview didn't just stop there. A quick-witted reporter recalled Jessica's scandal some time ago and hurried to take the chance to ask when Morgan was in a good mood. "Mr. Hall, what's your comment on Miss Hall's scandal? It is said that she doesn't have a very decent and proper private life." Morgan's face turned grim at once. "Who said that? If I find out who spread this rumor later, I will sue them and make them penniless!" What Morgan said to the reporters was even more destructive than the wedding. Within half an hour, what Morgan said spread on the Internet. Everyone knew the Hall family and the Thoma
Vincent was already prepared for Lucas' anger, but after knocking on the door twice, he still heard no response at all. Vincent even suspected that the security guard had got it wrong. Perhaps Lucas hadn't arrived yet? Just as he was hesitating, he knocked on the door for the third time. Finally, Lucas' deep voice came from inside. "Come in." Vincente took a deep breath and pushed the door open. He smelt smoke once he entered the office. Vincent then saw Lucas at the table. Lucas was leaning against his armchair and the ashtray was filled with cigarette butts. There was one cigarette in his dangling hand. Lucas' cold face looked grimmer than it usually did. Vincent had never seen Lucas like this. He called out meticulously, "Mr. Thomas?" Lucas moved slightly, raised his hand, and took a puff. He spat out the smoke and said coldly, "Speak." The single word made Vincent chill. Vincent shuddered and fearfully recounted what had
Justin, who didn't know about the news today, was having lunch in his ward. Lucas didn't come to visit Justin in the past few days and thus never irritated him. "Dwayne, turn on the TV. I want to watch the news," Justin leaned against the bed and ordered after he finished lunch. Dwayne was a bit startled to hear that. He had a bad feeling. Justin's condition had just stabilized. If he saw Morgan's interview, he might faint from anger. "Dwayne?" Justin called out to him when he found Dwayne not moving. "Yes, Mr. Thomas." Dwayne quickly responded before slowly walking towards the television. Just as Dwayne was about to turn on the TV, someone knocked on the door. Dwayne let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked to answer the door. Unexpectedly, Luna and Trissy were standing at the door. "Mr. Dantes, we're here to visit Mr. Thomas." Luna held a bouquet of lilies as she revealed a smile. In normal circumstances, Dwayne
