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

    Hannah fell silent for a moment, looking at Paige in front of her, and took a deep breath. "So, what did you come to see me for today?"Paige's emotions had stabilized, and so much time had passed since everything happened that she had no choice but to accept it, even if she didn't want to."I wanted to come and say sorry to you. Three years ago, I suddenly brought people to find you and caused you a lot of harm.""It has already passed, you don't need to care about it anymore."Paige looked at Hannah and hesitated for a moment, "You also had the right to know about this matter.""Thank you."Hannah's mood was completely disrupted like this, "If there's nothing else, I'll have my assistant send you."She had not fully processed this matter yet, and when facing Paige, she did not know what she should say.This time, Paige did not insist on staying any longer, “Today, I bothered you."She stood up and bowed deeply to

    Hannah suddenly felt very tired, a tiredness she had never experienced before."Whether you are Dominic or Foster, our relationship had already ended from the day you left. If I were you, I would have had the decency to leave at that point, preserving some dignity for both of us."In the end, no one's face would look good.Is it necessary? Isn't it better to break up peacefully?Hannah's personality has always been carefree and bold. Foster still remembers their first meeting, when she openly expressed her liking without any hesitation.Later on, she became even more crazy, and he went from being bored to uncontrollably infatuated.

    Foster had no shame, while Hannah dared not lose her own face.His words did hit the nail on the head, and Hannah dared not move. She even kept her head down, afraid that someone might take a video and upload it online, which could lead to Jessica, Mona, and others recognizing her.Foster's car was parked in a nearby parking lot. He carried her over a small path and they arrived at the car after a few steps.Hannah struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free, and could only watch as he put her into the car.Hannah had been taking the stomach-aiding and digestion-promoting pills for several minutes when she started to hiccup. As she was fastening her seatbelt, she hiccuped twice. Coincidentally, Foster walked in from the side and watched her. Although he didn't say anything, Hannah could see the amusement in his dark eyes.Her face stiffened for a moment, and she glared at him, saying, "What are you laughing at? Haven't you seen someone hiccup before?"Making a mountain out of a mo

    Foster glanced at her and didn't have any objections, “I'll listen to you."Hannah stopped talking and walked here for nearly twenty minutes, feeling tired and hungry.The thin slices of pork belly were quickly grilled to perfection. Hannah has always loved eating grilled meat. She is the kind of person who would rather gain weight herself than miss out on enjoying a good meal of meat.She didn't speak, a piece of grilled meat wrapped in lettuce, topped with sauce, and then she stuffed it into her mouth.Foster looked at her as she put the meat into her mouth. Her lips were like a squirrel hiding a pine nut inside its mouth, and her cheeks were puffed up, making anyone who looked at her feel an increase in appetite.Foster rarely ate these, even during the difficult years, he didn't really touch them. When he was hungry, he would just eat a piece of bread and drink a large bottle of water.He was not like Hannah, who always seemed to have the greatest enthusiasm for food.On the contr

    Foster didn't move, just watched her.The two of them stood facing each other, neither willing to take a step back.It was the rush hour at this time. Hannah was standing inside the car, while Foster was standing outside, attracting the attention of many passersby.Joe arrived and saw Hannah standing inside the car, confronting Foster with a cold expression on her face.He hesitated for a moment before walking over and said, "Mr. Carroway?"Foster glanced at him and handed his phone to Hannah, saying, "I'll take you back, and Joe will handle the rest for you."Hannah took back her phone, "No need."She looked at the time and it had already been seven or eight minutes. Shouldn't the people from the 4S store have arrived by now?Hannah got off the car and was about to make another phone call to the person over there when she saw a trailer driving towards her."Miss Howell, I'm sorry, there was traffic on the way, so I arrived late."Hannah didn't say anything, she just told them to quic

Rowan and Abigail returned empty-handed from Hannah's villa and had no choice but to reluctantly visit Foster in Kangsel.However, the two of them went to Kangsel for several days in a row but didn't see Foster. Rowan was doing better, but Abigail's family couldn't wait any longer. Abigail had no choice but to secretly go and find Hannah again.This time she couldn't even see Hannah, Hannah's assistant directly said that Hannah was not in the company, and she didn't wait for Hannah at the villa either.After another four or five days had passed, Abigail finally managed to get an opportunity to meet Hannah.Hannah had just caught a cold when she was stopped by Abigail. She frowned, her face looking somewhat cold.Abigail looked at her and came out directly, asking her for help in front of so many people.Hannah was annoyed. She had been avoiding Rowan and Abigail for the past few days, and it was making her restless. She was trul

    Hannah was also wondering when Rowan had become so humble, to the point of coming to the company specifically to apologize to her.That night, if it hadn't been for Foster coming out and mentioning Mr. Everitt, Rowan clearly didn't even want to say sorry.Hmm, that's strange.She had just wanted to call Sophia, but to her surprise, Sophia had already come in. "Miss Howell, Rowan and Abigail said they forgot to mention something."Hannah raised an eyebrow and said, "Let them in."She said it, didn't she?Rowan and Abigail turned back again, they looked at each other, seemingly discussing who should speak.Hannah didn't want to care about it at all, she tapped the table with the pen in her hand and said, "Cut to the chase, are you two playing telepathy over there?"Rowan's face stiffened, and Abigail took the opportunity to speak, “Miss Howell, you just said, that night's incident, that night has already passed, so can you please ask the influential figure behind you to go easy on the t
