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.

    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.

    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,

    Lucas turned his head to look at Jessica. Although she had a smile on her face as she spoke, her eyes were cold and distant. It was clear that she had no intention of exchanging any more words with him. After saying her piece, she walked straight over to Bailey, pulling a piece of paper from her bag. “Miss Wade, I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a public clarification, is it?”Bailey glanced at the paper, and seeing no other option, she quickly nodded. “I’ll post it.”“Good.”Jessica smiled and then noticed a bottle of red wine on the table. Her eyebrows raised slightly as she casually picked it up, along with a corkscrew. As she calmly opened the bottle, she continued speaking, “But you see, Miss Wade, the thing I hate most is being used as a pawn.”Once the wine was open, Jessica didn’t hesitate. She lifted the bottle and poured the red wine over Bailey’s head.“Ah—”Bailey screamed as the cold wine drenched her. But when she looked up and met Jessica’s gaze, she froze.Jessica

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
