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

    Roberto lived alone and didn't even have a refrigerator in his house.After Julie bought the watermelon, she had no choice but to tie it inside a wooden barrel and then put it into the well.Before leaving, Julie was worried that the rain would smash the melon. She had already covered the well in advance. The rain was still pouring heavily. Julie held an umbrella and walked to the edge of the well, saying, "It's inside."Terry handed her the umbrella, and she reached out to take it. Then Terry lifted the well cover and saw a rope tied to the well ring next to it. He thought it must be Jessica's tied watermelon, so he put the well cover aside, untied the rope, and pulled it up with force. Soon, Terry pulled up the bucket.The watermelon, weighing over ten kilograms, was tightly bound by Jessica and placed inside the wooden barrel. The barrel was also filled with water, making it weigh over thirty kilograms when lifted.Luckily, Terry had strong arms

    Just then, Morgan and a few others happened to walk over, holding umbrellas on the side.Roberto, upon seeing the situation, immediately closed the door again.Julie acted quickly, placing the umbrella aside, stepping inside with one foot, and pushing the door with her other hand. "Old man, I don't care about others, but you're going too far by not letting my parents inside the house, aren't you?""This was my house! I used to let anyone in that I wanted! If I didn't feel like it, I wouldn't even let you in. What's so unreasonable about that?"Roberto hadn't finished speaking when Julie's other hand, which wasn't blocking the door, suddenly pinched his cheek.Roberto immediately jumped and let go of Julie's hand, slapping it lightly. "What are you doing? As a girl, why would you touch someone without permission?"Julie took advantage of him loosening his grip and pushed the door open, laughing, "You talk so tough, I've always been curious if

    The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Julie, having nothing to do, took out a chessboard and played chess with Roberto."Old man, your chess skills are too poor. How many times have you regretted your moves?"Roberto felt no shame at all. "You, girl, don't you understand the importance of respecting the elderly and caring for the young? I am of an advanced age; can't you give in to me?""No, I won't. In chess, there is no distinction between big and small. If I can't win, I will admit defeat. Besides, I won't laugh at you. How can you still have the audacity to ask me to let you win?"The rain in August was like someone pouring water from the sky, pouring down heavily. The rain hit the eaves with a "pitter-patter" sound, and the courtyard was filled with misty rain. Occasionally, there would be arguments between an old and a young person inside the house.When the knocking sound came, Roberto's face immediately fell. "It's for you, go open the

    Lucas looked at the woman in front of him, even though she was wearing the simplest and plainest clothes, her eyebrows, eyes, and temperament clearly belonged to Jessica without a doubt.He was somewhat incredulous when he heard her call out his name as soon as she opened her mouth, "You, remember me?"Some people lost their memory, but they didn't forget everything. They would remember certain people and certain things.Jessica remembered him too, didn't she?This speculation made Lucas' heart surge with excitement, but the next second, Jessica's words shattered his fantasy. "I don't remember, I have amnesia, I don't remember anything."Upon hearing her words, the brightness in the golden eyes dimmed significantly. "How do you know what my name is?""The Thomas family, Lucas; the Thomas family, Olivia, is it difficult to find online?"After meeting Olivia at the market, before she came back, I had already searched Olivia on Baidu at

    Roberto was annoyed by Julie's prank and started grumbling again.The bamboo basket had already reached the shore. Julie lifted the bamboo basket onto the shore and removed the small basket on top. Three fish were lying inside."Roberto, I caught another fish!"As soon as she finished speaking, while still muttering curses, the old man walked straight over and said, "What's the matter?"Julie took another look and said, "It's not much, but I can still make you a fish soup!"The fish are indeed small, with the largest one weighing only about half a catty, and the other two estimated to be around three to four taels.Julie said as she directly carried the bamboo basket and walked into the bamboo house. Behind the bamboo house, there was a fish pond made by an old man, which was fed by the stream.However, with Roberto's fishing skills, it is estimated that even after ten or eight years, there might not be a single fish in the bathtub.

    Olivia asked behind her, "So how do I find you then?""Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, I will come to the front of this store."Jessica tightened her backpack and quickly plunged into the crowd at the market.Olivia quickly took out her phone and called Lucas.It was Jessica! She really found Jessica!When the phone rang, Lucas frowned. He thought it was something related to work and didn't even want to look at his phone.However, the phone in his pocket kept ringing incessantly. Annoyed, Lucas took out his phone and asked, "What's the matter?""Brother! I found Jessica! Brother! I found her!"Upon hearing Olivia's words on the phone, Lucas thought he had misheard, "Could you repeat that?""I found Jessica! Dude! Really! But she seemed...""Where were you?""Where am I? Oh, right, I was in Long Town, in front of a clothing store called 'Fashion Apparel Shop'.""I knew it."After hanging up th

    Olivia was very excited. Since the incident of being kidnapped, she had been reflecting on many things she had done in the past. She realized that she had indeed done many childish and unwise things before she matured.It has been half a month since the kidnapping incident, she is safe and sound, but Jessica has remained silent all along.Olivia occasionally recalled that night, Jessica's hint to herself, and felt a little guilty in her heart.She wanted to find Jessica, but she couldn't endure hardships and climb mountains, so she had to bring people with her to go from village to village to find her.Long Town is only about thirty kilometers away from Copper Town, where Jessica went missing.This was her first time coming to such a backward place, where the so-called market was all on one street. Olivia called out several times, but Jessica quickly disappeared into the crowd.Olivia stood there, doubting if she had mistaken someone.

    The incident involving Olivia and Jessica quickly spread within the circle. As Terry, Lucas, and Morgan, along with others, searched for Jessica, the news of her disappearance couldn't be concealed.On the fifth day of Jessica's disappearance, Lucas went straight to Terry and demanded Luna without hesitation.Terry had not had a good night's sleep for five consecutive days. Every time he closed his eyes, Jessica would cry and ask him why he hadn't arrived yet.When Lucas came over, he had just returned from Irvine.He and Morgan searched Santa Ana and Oceanside almost carpet-like, but couldn't find Jessica. The reward notices sent out also didn't yield any valid information.They still haven't been able to determine which city Jessica escaped to.Finding someone in a city was already like finding a needle in a haystack, and now there are even more cities.The only fortunate thing was that Jerry, based on the contact information provid

    Terry and Lucas arrived at Jerry's place in the afternoon, and it had been fifty hours since Jessica went missing.Terry had two properties over here, which were early development projects by the Davison Group. He came over for a business trip and bought them three months ago. Now it's convenient for hiding Luna."Mr. Davison, Mr. Thomas."Jerry opened the door and Luna, who was already tied up by him, was sitting on the chair.After he opened the door, he voluntarily left. Terry, Lucas, and Luna were the only ones left in the room.Seeing Lucas, Luna smiled and said, "Lucas, did you receive the gift I gave you?"Lucas gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger, "Where is Jessica?""Dead! Didn't I send you the ashes?"Luna spoke and glanced at Terry, "By the way, did you give that ring back to Mr. Davison?"Terry stood aside, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, without saying a word.Luna giggled and said, "M
