Lucas's words were caught in his throat by Jessica’s response. He saw the smile on her face, the glint of satisfaction and triumph in her eyes, and felt a sharp pang in his heart.

“Why?” he asked.

“Why what?” Jessica feigned ignorance, her tone light.

The sunlight was brilliant today, casting a warm glow on Jessica's face, highlighting her striking beauty. But her smile, radiant as it was, carried thorns.

“Why did you ruin the wedding?”

When he asked again, Jessica’s smile deepened as she looked at him, enunciating each word clearly: “It was on purpose, of course.”

Her words were like a knife, stabbing at him, each syllable driving the blade deeper.

Lucas's expression darkened with humiliation. The wedding had been his creation, something he’d personally overseen for more than half a month, crafting it meticulously, even going as far as to design the wedding dress, infusing it with his vision of Jessica’s beauty.

He had done all this to give her a memorable and exquisite wedding.

    At this time of day, there weren’t many people downstairs at the company building, but there were still a few passersby.Jessica and Lucas standing there inevitably attracted quite a bit of attention.After the uproar of last night’s wedding, with the Thomas family being tightly controlled by her, Jessica was determined not to let her efforts go to waste.She looked up at him, sneering coldly, and then raised her hand to slap him hard across the face.The slap echoed loudly. Lucas, who had barely slept the previous night, was already in a poor state, and the slap left him dazed for a moment.It was clear just how much force Jessica had used.“Do you believe it now?” Jessica asked, stepping back a couple of paces and pushing him away.“If you still don’t believe it, then let me tell you something else.”“What is it?”Lucas’s dark eyes were inscrutable, clearly still in disbelief.“Do you know why I liked you back then?” Jessica asked.Lucas was momentarily stunned by her question. “Why?

    Lucas stood there for god knows how long until the phone in his pocket rang, pulling him back to reality.The emotions in his dark eyes hadn't yet subsided, and as he looked down, there was still a trace of suppressed pain.The phone in his pocket kept vibrating, an incessant irritation.He didn't want to answer the call, but it was from Dwayne.Lucas looked at the caller ID for a moment before answering. His expression turned cold as he suppressed all his emotions and spoke indifferently, "Dwayne?""Lucas, Mr. Thomas wants to see you."Lucas knew exactly why Justin wanted to see him."I got it."After responding, he hung up the phone.As soon as Morgan's statements hit the internet, the entire social circle was in an uproar, and the Thomas family became the laughingstock once again.Dwayne, upon seeing the news, instinctively wanted to keep it from Justin.However, the hospital nurses had loose lips, and while Dwayne managed to guard against others, he couldn't prevent the hospital st

    "You, you..."Mr. Thomas was so furious at Lucas’s words that he started trembling all over. Seeing this, Dwayne hurried in from the doorway, took out blood pressure controlling medicine, and said, "Sir, please take care!"Mr. Thomas, not wanting to die just yet, took the pills from Dwayne with trembling hands and put it into his mouth. With his other hand, he kept throwing things around the room, making a racket."Does he even consider me his grandfather anymore? Now that his brother is gone, he thinks the Thomas family will definitely be handed over to him. He’s practically treating me as if I’m already dead!""Sir, after what happened, young master must be feeling terrible. Please don't take it out on him. Your health is the most important thing."Mr. Thomas didn’t respond, having calmed down a bit, but he was still thinking about what Lucas had said earlier.Though still angry, Justin felt a bit deflated when he thought about those words.He never imagined that the things he had do

    “Sweet child, father has always taught you not to let yourself be taken advantage of. If others don’t provoke you, you don’t need to provoke them. But if they dare to mess with you, don’t worry—fight back. Whatever happens, daddy’s got your back.”Morgan paused slightly before continuing, “They’ve shown no mercy, so we won’t be polite either. If you don’t want to get entangled with them anymore, leave the rest to me.”Anyone who bullies his precious daughter will pay the price!Jessica’s eyes welled up as she listened to Morgan. She never expected that even at her age, her parents would still worry so much about her.She lowered her gaze and composed herself. “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll make sure to repay the Thomas family for every wrong they’ve done to me.”Whether it’s Olivia, Lucas, or Justin, she’ll make sure they taste the bitterness they’ve inflicted on her.Morgan smiled with satisfaction. “Good. No matter what, always remember, you’ll forever be your parents’ precious treasure.”“

    Listening to Amanda's words, Jessica couldn't help but smile. She had to admit, Amanda certainly had a way with words.No wonder Louis ended up falling into her hands.Jessica was always straightforward in her actions. Since Terry had already spoken to Amanda, she didn't need to trouble herself any further. "Since Mr.Davison has already discussed cooperation with you, I’ll just treat you to a meal today.""Miss Hall seems to trust Mr.Davison quite a lot," Amanda said while flipping through the menu, her tone teetering between probing and not.Jessica looked at her with a faint smile. "It sounds like you have something to say."Amanda ordered two dishes on the electronic screen before turning to Jessica. "Miss Hall, you truly are a clever person."Jessica smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "I prefer directness. If there's something you want to say, why not get straight to the point?"Playing coy might work on Louis, but Jessica had no patience for it.Amanda couldn't tell if J

    Terry had an uncanny sense of proportion, always knowing when to push the boundaries. Just when Jessica thought their relationship had reached a perfect balance, he would disrupt it with actions that were bold and confrontational—provoking anger, but never enough to cause lasting resentment.Sometimes, Jessica wasn’t sure whether she was more frustrated with Terry or with herself. Whenever she tried to set aside her chaotic emotions, he would appear again, forceful yet yielding, making her feel both sympathetic and helpless.She watched him silently, and he didn’t speak either, merely glancing nonchalantly at his hand, which had been caught in the door earlier. Following his gaze, Jessica noticed the bruising on his fair hand and frowned slightly. She had closed the door quickly and with force; it must have hurt quite a bit.“Did you like the gift I sent you yesterday?” Terry finally broke the silence, bringing her back to the present.Jessica’s eyes flickered as she remembered the nec

    Jessica took a deep breath and considered returning to her room to get her phone and call Terry's secretary. But then she remembered that he had mentioned his secretary's girlfriend was ill, and the secretary had taken the afternoon off to care for her.Looking at the man on the sofa, his face pale and his body burning with fever, Jessica remained silent for a moment. She realized she couldn’t just ignore her conscience.She turned back to her room, changed clothes, grabbed her phone, and prepared to take Terry to the hospital."Terry?"After changing, she walked over to the sofa and gently pushed him, trying to wake him up.This time, Jessica used more force. The man, who had been in a deep sleep, seemed to stir, shifting slightly until most of his body was leaning against hers.The pleasant scent of his cologne filled Jessica’s senses as his forehead touched her neck, sending a rush of warmth through her, causing her heart to beat a little faster."Terry?"She steadied him with her h

    When Jessica woke up, she realized she had been leaning on Terry.Terry had also fallen asleep beside her, the IV drip completed, likely removed by the nurse during rounds. She found herself resting entirely against Terry's chest, his presence unmistakable.As Jessica fully awakened and grasped the situation, she tensed up slightly. It was truly an awkward situation!She noticed that Terry had draped his jacket over her, which explained why she had felt so warm while sleeping.Jessica had no intention of waking Terry—at least not until she could get up and away from him. She glanced up at Terry, noting that his eyes were closed, and he appeared to be sound asleep. Seizing the moment, she swiftly removed his jacket from her shoulders and stood up from his embrace.Just as she stood, something fell to the ground with a light "thud." Looking down, she saw it was her phone. She quickly picked it up and instinctively glanced at Terry, only to find his eyes slowly opening. His still-sleepy p

    The driver happened to be at home today and was being escorted out by another police officer.He, on the other hand, didn't cry and shout like his wife did, even when he was being escorted out, he kept his head down, as if he was afraid of being too embarrassed in front of the neighbors.The wife, who had been crying and complaining incessantly, suddenly stopped shouting. The man, as if sensing something, glanced inside the car and when he saw Jessica, his face immediately turned pale.That woman...Even though almost a year had passed, the man still recognized the beautiful woman at first sight.As the saying goes, if you have done no wrong, you need not fear the knock of a ghost at the door.After that day, the man had several nightmares in a row, but as time went by, he gradually forgot about them.I didn't expect that after a year, the other party would come to my door with the police.The man lowered his head, forced a bitter smile, and muttered, "Retribution!

    Suddenly, there was a "drip" sound outside the door, and Jessica knew that Terry had come back. She quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Terry pushed the door open and entered the room. Jessica was still on the couch, with her head tilted back, smiling at him. "You're back so soon?" she said.Terry walked over and only then did he see that Jessica's eyes were a little red.He put down the things he was holding in his hands and bent his body halfway in front of Jessica. He held her face with both hands and said, "Did you cry secretly?""No way."He looked at her and suddenly raised his head to kiss her on the eyes.Jessica trembled for a moment, and the emotions in her heart instantly magnified. She fell into his arms and hugged him, saying, "I don't know why, but it feels like I haven't seen you guys for a long time."Before today, she didn't remember anything. The missing memories of over twenty years made her silent when facing the past.If she couldn't remembe

    Upon hearing his words, Jessica inexplicably choked up, "What if it wasn't?""No if."He spoke and tightly held her hand.Jessica blinked her eyes and said, "I was a little hungry.""I went to buy ravioli for you.""Okay."Jessica let go of her hand and leaned back on the sofa, looking at him as he touched his stomach and asked, "Is the little one okay?"Terry also touched her abdomen, “It's fine."It has been over four months, almost five months, and Jessica's belly is still not very noticeable.But knowing that there was a life growing inside, I placed my hand on it, even though I couldn't feel anything, a wave of tenderness still surged in my heart.Terry glanced at her and said, "Behave, I will go buy you some food.""I knew."It was almost 8 o'clock now. After lunch, both Jessica and Terry hadn't eaten anything. At this time, they should have been hungry.Terry took his phone and said, "I will go downstairs to buy some food.""Go."She was not a child, so there was no need to wat

    Jessica was still asleep, with an oxygen tube inserted in her nose, looking as if she was sleeping.Terry walked over and held her hand, then followed the gurney back to the regular ward.The hospital in this town was simple, and there weren't many people in the inpatient department. Jessica was assigned to a separate ward.The nurse gave Terry a few instructions and then left, leaving the ward filled with the sound of machines.Jessica's forehead was scratched, and it bled, but the bleeding was not excessive, and the wound quickly coagulated.Terry used a wet tissue to wipe away the bloodstain, and just as he threw away the tissue, his phone started vibrating.It was an unfamiliar number.But Terry still remembered the incident with the police. He picked up his phone and stood in front of the window by the door, watching Jessica inside, while answering the call, "Mr. Policeman?""It was me. Is Mrs. Davison alright?""Having just recovered from shock, the doctor said there was no majo

    Halfway through the interrogation, Terry received a message from Jessica and he immediately interrupted the officer in front of him, saying, "Sorry, I have to go back, my wife is in danger."The police officer taking the statement also had some difficulty processing it, “Your wife..."Terry didn't have time to think about it, Jessica wouldn't easily send such a message again, she sent a distress signal, the situation must be very bad.Seeing Terry get up and run, the police officer who was taking the statement quickly chased after him, saying, "Mr. Davison, if your wife is in danger, we can send help..."Terry didn't wait for him to finish, “Well, thank you, officer! I'm going back first!"The car stopped at the entrance of the police station, Terry turned the car out of the road, and as soon as the car got on the main road, he stepped on the accelerator.The car drove away all of a sudden, at a very high speed. When the police ran out, Terry's car had already disappeared.Terry almos

    The sunlight at twelve o'clock was even more intense. Eamon was scolded by Jessica, and although he had the intention to run away, he lacked the courage to do so. Who knew when Jessica would come out of the house.He was tied to a tree, although most of the sunlight was blocked by the leaves, it was still very hot at noon, and Eamon was suffering as his body still hurt from the several places Jessica had just hit him.Jessica and Terry were leisurely eating lunch inside the house, eating to their heart's content. It was only after they had finished eating that Jessica took out her phone and called the police.The police took more than twenty minutes to arrive, and when Eamon heard the sound of the police siren, he instinctively trembled.Terry glanced at him and went out to meet the police, “Hello, I am the husband of the person who made the report."Terry made a simple self-introduction, “My wife got scared by a thief, which caused her to have a miscarriage. She is currently resting

    Eamon realized it and instinctively wanted to run, but Jessica also reacted quickly, reaching out and smashing the coconut she had just taken a few sips of onto him.Terry, who was standing by, immediately dropped what he was holding and ran up to grab the tattered oil-paper umbrella by the door. He forcefully smashed it onto Eamon's ankle, causing him to scream in pain, "Ah!"Eamon fell directly from the wall, and he was about to resist as soon as he got up, but unfortunately Terry had a very solid oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and he was hit again as soon as he got up.After being hit more than ten times, Eamon couldn't bear it and quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Please stop hitting me! I was wrong!"Terry turned around and glanced at Jessica, saying, "Bring the rope."Jessica turned and entered the small room next to her, pulling out the hemp rope from under the bed.Eamon, who fell to the ground, attempted to escape. Terry, seeing that he was being dishonest, fiercely struck

    Denzel arrived at the hospital and remained unconscious. That night, he was transferred to the ICU.It had been several days since Jessica heard the news when she and Terry arrived in Tonopah.It was almost June, and as soon as Jessica got off the plane, she felt a wave of heat.Plus, back in January, Eamon came over causing trouble, and Jessica was a bit concerned about the condition of the yard.The temperature today was a bit high, and Terry was worried that Jessica couldn't handle it, so he didn't go over there immediately after coming out of the airport.The two of them stayed in the city for the whole night and only took the car over early the next morning.There weren't many households in the village to begin with, and it seems that the big yellow dog that used to chase after Jessica is now gone.Jessica and Terry asked the neighbor next door and found out that there was an old man in the village who fell while picking vegetables in the vegetable field more than three months ag

    Denzel had been talking to Lucas all along, and in the few short seconds before the elevator arrived, there were only Denzel's childish voice and Lucas's occasional "uh-huh".The elevator came quite fast, and Jessica and Terry were the first to enter.There were no other people inside the elevator, only the five of them.Jessica and Terry were in the right corner, while their family of three was in the left corner.Terry held Jessica's hand, lowered his head to look at her, and the two exchanged a glance, only to smile slightly and never speak.After about five or six seconds, the elevator finally reached the first floor.Jessica and Terry didn't move, watching as Lucas and the other two exited the elevator. Only then did Terry say, "Let's go."Jessica glanced at him, and both of them instinctively slowed down their pace. The family of three in front of them gradually moved further away, until they were about ten meters apart. It was only then that Jessica spoke, "Are he and Susie pla
