  The auction had come to an end. Lucas was the bidder of the night. He first bought a painting for 2 million dollars and then another for 35 million dollars.

  Hari also believed that Lucas acted kind of like a super—rich sucker tonight.

  Hari tried to tell Lucas that the paintings were not worth the money spent, yet he chose to shut up when he saw Lucas' grim face.

  After the auction was over, the four of them met at the stairs.

  Hari greeted Jessica, "Jessica!"

  Jessica smiled faintly and responded, "Mr. Hartley."

  Jessica nodded and then left with Terry.

  Lucas watched them off. His golden eyes darkened. He then left the venue as well.

  Terry's black Rolls—Royce was quite eye—catching. Jessica got into the car and found that Terry was gazing at her.

  Jessica looked at Terry doubtfully, only to hear the man chuckle and say, "Not bad."

  "I'm sorry?"

  Terry didn't explain but slowly drove out. "Are you hungry now?"

  Jessica didn't take Terry's response seriously. "Not real

      Justin walked in with a stern face. He was not happy to see Jessica at all.  Sitting in her chair, Jessica raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Thomas, what do I owe you?"  "It has only been a few months since we last met, yet you have already forgotten all the rules of the Thomas family. You didn't even serve me any coffee."  Jessica chuckled when she heard what Justin said. "This place is not a café. If you want any coffee, you should go to Starbucks. There happens to be one nearby. Go downstairs, turn left, and walk 200 meters. You'll see it. Coffee is served there."  "Jessica! You have no respect for your elders, and you have no proper manners at all. You have been disgracing the Thomas family out there. I'm gonna..."  "Mr. Thomas, you seem to have forgotten that I've already divorced Lucas."  Jessica's lips curled up when she spoke, yet her eyes weren't smiling at all. "This is my workplace. If you have nothing specific to say, please leave now. If you do, please say it bl

      When Olivia's friend came to her senses, she asked the waiter to bring her a towel.  The mango juice on Olivia's face flowed down her neck and soaked her sweater. Olivia stood there, looking extremely miserable.  Only then did Jessica let go of her hand. "If you don't want to continue embarrassing yourself, I advise you to leave now."  Olivia's eyes were red from anger, but looking at mango juice—sodden hair and clothes, she could only grit her teeth and leave with her friend.  As soon as Olivia left, Hannah said, "What's wrong with her? Trying to throw juice on people's face?"  Jessica had been through this many times in the past. She was quite familiar with Olivia's routine. Jessica glanced at Olivia and her friend and looked back at Hannah. "Who knows?"  People at the next table filmed the whole thing. Jessica knew about it when she and Hannah were in the Mona club.  The lights were dazzling and the music was deafening.  Hannah took a look at her phone and chuckled. "Hey,

     After getting Jessica's number, Keith returned to his seat. He gazed at the number on his phone.  A girl next to him wanted to start a conversation with him, but Keith's cold face was saying no to her.  Keith was at a class party. But he was dragged here, not of his own free will. Everybody could see it.  Keith stared at the number on the phone for a while. He decided to send a message over.  To Keith's surprise, he received a call just after he sent it. He got up and left the bar to take the call.  "Hi, you haven't told me your name."  "I don't know you are hitting on girls in the club. Good for you."  Hearing the voice on the other side of the phone, Keith was thunderstruck. "Cousin Terry?"  Terry snorted, "You recognize me! Tell me, which girl are you hitting on?"  Then, Keith told Terry what had just happened in embarrassment. And he didn't forget to add in the end. "It's my first time asking for a girl's number."  But he never knew that the number he got was his own co

      Terry glanced at the man's slippers and frowned. "I was wondering if this man and Ms. Hall had a good relationship."  Jessica smiled and turned to the kitchen, pouring two cups of coffee. She said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Davison."  She hadn't expected Keith to call so soon.  Terry took the cup. "It's okay. You're my future girlfriend, and I don't mind using my rights in advance."  He paused for a moment. "Don't worry. It's okay. I'm even glad about it."  Terry had his coffee and said he had to go.  Jessica slumped back on the couch. She saw the door that Terry had closed and raised an eyebrow. A moment later, she walked into her room.  Terry was actually a very genteel man.  Jessica took a shower and sent a text message to Hannah. After that, she turned off the light and fell into a deep sleep.  The next day, Jessica woke up before the alarm went off.  The bedroom was pitch black. She glanced at the curtains and found it was still dark. It was not yet dawn.  Jessic

      Hannah sent a few more texts to Jessica, but Jessica didn't reply.  The trending topic that Terry went to Jessica's place last night only existed for a few hours before it was deleted.  However, many people saw it. The upper class people in LA were talking about whether Terry and Jessica were in a relationship or not.  When it came to Jessica and Terry, Lucas was inevitably mentioned.  Lucas had some connection with them all. One was his ex—wife, while the other was his rival.  "Jessica is so amazing. It's only been six months since she and Mr. Thomas divorced, right? Honestly, I'm a little jealous."  "As much as I'd like to say Terry is a playboy, I'm also a little jealous after I think about Terry and the Davidson family behind him."  Two luxuriously dressed women were chatting in the hallway outside the restroom.  Lucas overheard their conversation. He lit a cigarette in annoyance and turned to leave.  He walked into the booth and grabbed his coat from the seat. "Excuse

      Today's road condition was not bad. Within 25 minutes, Jessica arrived at the entrance of the hotel.  When Jessica and Wendy arrived at the door of the private box, there were still two minutes before the appointed time.  The waiter pushed the door open and Jessica walked inside.  "Mr. Gordon, Mr. Berlinge, I am Jessica, the manager of the Hall Group Los Angeles branch. Mr. Bell has something to do today, so he asked me to talk to you. There was a bit of traffic on the road, so I came late. I hope you don't mind it."  Hearing Jessica's words, Bryan and Robert had different facial expressions. Bryan was somewhat dissatisfied, but Robert didn't take that to heart. Robert smiled and invited Jessica to her seat.  After sitting down, Bryan and Robert looked at each other. Bryan's facial expression returned to normal. Bryan said, "Ms. Hall, you are too polite. We agreed to meet at half—past six. You are not late. We came early."  Jessica smiled and said, "It's getting late. You must

     Wendy supported Jessica from behind and asked, "Ms. Hall, are you all right?"  Jessica shook her head and said, "I am still sober. I'll go to the restroom to wash my face."  Wendy said, "I'll go with you."  Jessica turned back to look at Wendy and smiled, saying, "Thanks. I can go to the restroom by myself. Go call a chauffeur."  Since both Jessica and Wendy drank wine, they could not drive.  Seeing Jessica was doing fine except for occasional unsteadiness when walking, Wendy did not insist on accompanying Jessica to the restroom. Wendy nodded and said, "Okay. I'll call a chauffeur."  "OK," Jessica answered. Jessica looked up at the sign and walked step by step to the restroom in her high heels.  This wine had such a strong effect.  Fortunately, the restroom was not far away. The waitress told Jessica to turn around the corner and the restroom would be there.  "I'm sorry."  Jessica bumped into someone on the corner. She immediately became much more clear—headed.

      Terry raised his eyebrows slightly and took a deep look at Jessica without asking anything.  Seeing that Jessica wasn't in a good mood, Wendy couldn't help but walk to her side. "Miss Hall, are you feeling unwell?"  Hearing her words, Jessica withdrew her thoughts and shook her head. "No."  Jessica caught a glimpse of Terry and smiled. "Mr. Davison, are you also waiting for your driver?"  Terry looked at Jessica's almond—shaped eyes, and his brown eyes lit up. "I'm staying by your side."  Jessica laughed, "I didn't expect that you would have such a hobby."  Terry looked at her with a faint smile. "My hobby is you, Miss Hall. You should know that."  Jessica looked at him and withdrew her smile without answering.  At this time, the driver had arrived. Jessica glanced at Terry and said, "Mr. Davison, I'm going home."  As she spoke, she walked to the back seat of the car and got in the car.  Wendy watched as Jessica's car slowly drove away before she got into her own car and l

    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

    On her way back, Hannah looked in the rearview mirror several times and, seeing that the black Bentley hadn't followed, she finally relaxed a bit.The traffic light was red ahead, so she stopped the car and looked at the red wine on her skirt, feeling very annoyed.Tonight was really unlucky. I ran into Rowan's crazy girlfriend and got splashed with red wine. And to make matters worse, I also bumped into Foster.Hannah felt more and more distracted, she didn't even notice when the green light in front of her turned on, until the car behind her kept honking, she snapped out of it and quickly drove.After returning to the villa, Hannah took a bath.The dinner was unpleasant, and I couldn't sleep well at night.In contrast, while Rowan and Abigail were also somewhat unwilling, they went to have a late-night snack after leaving the hotel and quickly forgot about this matter.Rowan didn't dwell on what happened last night and even went to Kangsel to meet Foster in the afternoon, wanting to

    This sound was familiar to Hannah, but unfamiliar to everyone else.However, Foster, the person in question, was recognized by the people present. After all, he was the CEO of Kangsel and made headlines on his first day in office after returning from overseas.Rowan naturally knew Foster as well. Their company had a collaboration with Kangsel, but the contract expired this year. Their company wanted to renew the contract with Kangsel. Rowan had even visited Kangsel twice, just to meet Foster, but unfortunately, he didn't get to see him both times.I didn't expect to run into you here.Hannah didn't want to deal with Foster, but due to the presence of others, she reluctantly responded, "What's up?""Your skirt is wet, you need to change it. Mr. Everitt asked me to come and take you to the changing room."Mr. Everitt was the host of today's business banquet, and to have gained the favor of Mr. Everitt is enough to prove Hannah's status, not to mention anything else.Rowan and Abigail ex

    Not only was Sophia, Hannah's friend, curious about Hannah slapping Foster twice, but Joe, Foster's secretary, was also curious.But the two parties involved in this matter didn't really care about it. Hannah's attitude was that if a fight happened, so be it, what else could be done.Foster's attitude was that if he got hit, he got hit, and he didn't really care.Although Joe was curious, he dared not gossip about this matter. He just recalled a few days ago when Foster asked him to investigate Hannah's affairs, and he realized that Hannah was not ordinary to Foster.So, he almost always mentioned things about Hannah to Foster, whether intentionally or unintentionally.Foster didn't expose him either, Joe said, he just listened."Mr. Carroway, Miss Howell seemed to have attended the business dinner tonight."The business dinner tonight, Foster had already declined to attend two days ago, Joe's meaning in saying this was obvious.The man paused his action of flipping through the docume

    Who is Dominic?Sophia had never heard of this person from Hannah's mouth, but looking at Hannah's expression, this "Dominic" was probably more than just a regular friend.Although Sophia was gossipy, she was not someone who liked to pry into her boss's personal matters.She didn't bother Hannah anymore, loosened the collar of her clothes, poured a cup of hot water and placed it by the bedside, and then closed the door and left.Hannah didn't sleep well all night and had a lot of random dreams, which seemed real and yet also seemed fake.She dreamt that Dominic came back in her dream and asked her for money. As soon as he opened his mouth, he demanded three billion. Hannah got angry and immediately slapped him twice.She watched as Dominic's face instantly turned fierce, and he raised his hand to hit her.
