When Jessica spoke, her tone was completely flat, much like the way she looked at Lucas—cold and devoid of any other emotion.

Some people say that the past should be left in the past. But for Jessica, whether or not she still loved Lucas, the wounds she had suffered would never truly heal.

The events of that night were still vivid in her memory. The midnight rain was as cold as her heart had become.

Lucas was questioning her ruthlessness?

What a joke. When it came to being ruthless, no one could compare to him.

She didn’t want to exchange another word with him. Now, when Jessica looked at Lucas, she felt nothing.

She had decided to give up on this man, and she truly had.

This time, Lucas didn’t dare to stop Jessica again.

As he stood there, memories of that night a year ago flooded back to him.

Ironically, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, and a downpour began, just like the night he had forced Jessica to kneel before the Thomas family shrine.

Over a year later, he

    Lucas was indeed in a bad state. When Vincent arrived at the hospital with Lucas’s spare clothes, the doctor informed him that Lucas had fallen unconscious.Vincent knew that Lucas had been suffering from insomnia for over half a month and had been worried that his body wouldn’t hold up. It seemed almost fortunate that Lucas had collapsed in the hospital.Lucas had been changed into a hospital gown, and the nurse explained that he had been in a car accident and, after getting his head injury bandaged, had gone out into the rain. Concerned about the wound getting infected, they had given him a hospital gown to change into, but as soon as he had changed, he collapsed.A man over six feet tall suddenly falling over had caused quite a commotion, and it took several night-shift nurses a lot of effort to get him onto the hospital bed.Fortunately, the tests showed nothing too serious; his heart rate and other vital signs were normal.Vincent was shocked by this and immediately had someone in

    Jessica felt a bit flustered by his words and tried to steer the conversation away. "I have a 9 o'clock meeting."Hearing this, Terry's playful smile faded slightly, replaced by a more serious expression. "There are still twelve minutes left. I’ll drive you there."Jessica wanted to say something else, but Terry had already closed the door and taken hold of her wrist. "Let's go, Miss Hall. Even though you’re the boss, being late to a meeting is never a good thing."He was right.Jessica didn’t argue further. If she did, it wouldn’t just be a few minutes of lateness.The morning rush had just passed, so while there was still a lot of traffic, it wasn’t gridlocked.Jessica was still late. As soon as the car stopped, she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out. "Thanks, I’m going in.""I’ll pick you up later this afternoon."Jessica paused for a moment as she closed the car door. "Alright."Terry had driven her car away, so if he didn’t pick her up, she’d have to take a taxi home.Wend

    In December, LA was particularly cold at night. That evening, Terry took Jessica to the east side of town for lamb hotpot.The restaurant was located in the old city district, where parking spaces were already scarce. Since they arrived a bit late, it took them ten minutes to find a spot. The parking lot was at the boundary between a residential area and a shopping district, and apart from the occasional barking dog, there was only the sound of the wind.All four of Jessica's tires had been deflated, and by the time they noticed, they were already surrounded in the parking lot by the group who had done it.Outside, five or six men holding baseball bats were waiting. The leader stepped forward and knocked on the car hood. "Hey, handsome, pretty lady, you parked in our spot. Did you pay for it?"Terry glanced at Jessica, picked up his recently removed coat, and said, "Stay inside."With that, he opened the door and got out of the car. "Sorry, we didn’t notice. We’ll pay.""Tsk, handsome,

    Jessica couldn’t argue with that, so she paused for a moment. "We might need to ask Jerry to stop by a pharmacy and pick up some iodine."Jerry, who was driving, quickly responded, "It’s no trouble at all, Miss Hall."Trouble? More like an opportunity! Helping with bandaging Terry’s hand might just give him another reason to stay over at Jessica’s place.Lately, Terry’s love life had been going so smoothly that his mood at work had improved considerably. As his secretary, Jerry had certainly benefited from Jessica’s influence.He was practically hoping for Terry and Jessica to get married on the spot so that Terry would be in a good mood every day, which would make his own life easier too.Ah, everyone wins!Jerry took a slight detour, stopping at a 24-hour convenience store where he thoughtfully bought gauze, iodine, and disinfectant swabs.When they arrived at Jessica’s apartment building, Terry hadn’t even said a word before Jerry quickly made his escape.

    Two days ago, Terry's car was rammed by Lucas, and last night, Jessica's car tires were deflated by Olivia's people.They had to drive Terry's secretary's car back home last night, but this morning, Terry had another car brought over by his secretary.The black Maybach was much more understated. As soon as Jessica and Terry stepped out of the apartment, they saw the men Jerry had sent over.Dressed in suits and ties, they looked like proper gentlemen.Jessica was quite satisfied.Terry took the car keys, and the two of them got into the car, driving straight to the Thomas family villa.Early in the morning, Olivia received a call from Lia, informing her that last night's plan had failed, and the men they hired had been arrested and taken to the police station. She advised Olivia to be careful around Jessica for the next few days.Olivia had still been half-asleep, but upon hearing Lia's words, she immediately snapped awake.She had only recently been punished by Lucas himself, all beca

    When Jessica gave the command, the two men immediately grabbed Olivia, pinning her in place. Her hands were held by the men, and she couldn't escape. Seeing Jessica approach, Olivia panicked. "Ah—Jessica, you're crazy!""Jessica!"Just as Jessica reached Olivia, Justin came, and he was supported by Dwayne. Since the wedding, Jessica hadn't seen the old man.At his loud scolding, Jessica paused for a moment, twirling the small knife in her hand as she looked at Justin. "Mr. Thomas, long time no see. You're still as vigorous as ever."In reality, Justin's health had been deteriorating lately. With the turmoil both inside and outside the Thomas family, and with none of his family members being particularly reliable, he had no desire to deal with Olivia's problems unless absolutely necessary.However, this was the Thomas family house, and Jessica barging in with people, showing blatant disregard for the Thomas family, was something Justin couldn't tolerate.

    Lucas rushed back, even though he had no real desire to get involved with the Thomas family’s matters. If it weren’t for the fact that they mentioned Jessica was involved, he wouldn’t have bothered.He glanced back at the car, where Jessica was sitting. She was turned toward Terry, speaking with him, her face relaxed and smiling, completely different from the cold expression she had when facing Lucas.It felt like something stabbed at Lucas’s heart, making him withdraw his gaze and turn back toward the Thomas family villa.Inside, chaos reigned. Justin was furiously shouting, Olivia was screaming about her face being ruined, and Amanda was standing to the side, watching the show.Lucas’s mood had already been bad, and seeing this scene only made him feel more disgusted.He walked directly up to Justin. “You asked me to come back; what’s the issue?”Justin, already furious from his encounter with Jessica, struck Lucas across the face. "It’s all because of you! Look at the kind of people

    The Moon Club is a popular spot among the wealthy socialites of LA, mostly because it’s a place where you’re likely to run into affluent men. Hannah is a regular there, not because she’s looking to snag a rich husband, but because she’s taken a liking to one of the waiters at the club. For the past six months, she’s been frequenting the place so often that she even managed to get a membership card.Getting a membership card at the Moon Club isn’t easy. It’s not just about having money; you also need to visit the club ten times in six months, spending at least 20k each time. It’s fair to say that Hannah has worked hard to chase after this guy, even though he’s proven to be a tough nut to crack.Jessica, on the other hand, seldom visits the Moon Club, having only been there three or four times for business meetings. Tonight, however, she needed to go to the club to track someone down, and having a membership card made the task easier.Hannah, sensing the teasing tone in Jessica’s voice,

    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.

How could he possibly let go!"I never thought about leaving you."He said he would find her, he just came back a little late.

    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

    No one knew what was going on between Hannah and Foster. 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
