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. "Jessica, didn’t your parents te
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
Lucas felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. His entire life, women had always chased after him, but he never cared for any of them. Even when he married Jessica, it was merely to avoid Justin's arranged marriage plans.After their divorce, he felt a bit uneasy but nothing more. He had never known what it meant to truly like someone. Now, at thirty-one, he realized that the first person he liked was his ex-wife.This newfound emotion brought him both joy and pain. He had always believed that Jessica’s long-standing feelings for him couldn't simply vanish overnight.But today, she had cruelly and directly shattered that belief.She left him no room for hope, ruthlessly exposing the truth he had been avoiding.She was right, yet also wrong. His feelings for her were indeed mixed with a sense of loss, but in the quiet of the night, he mostly thought of her tender and loving moments.His sense of loss was real, but so was his affection.However, Jessica dismissed his love as nothing mor
Jessica assumed that when Terry mentioned eating hotpot, it meant he had found a new hotpot place he wanted to try. It wasn’t until the car stopped in front of a villa that Jessica realized where Terry intended to have their hotpot.Terry took out his phone and opened the gate to the villa. As the gate slowly rose, Jessica turned to him with a playful smile. "Is there hotpot inside?"Terry returned her smile, showing no signs of guilt. "There is." As the car slowly drove into the property and parked in the garage, Terry unbuckled his seatbelt and looked at Jessica. "Afraid?"Jessica thought Terry was underestimating her. "What’s there to be afraid of?"She unbuckled her seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and stepped out.Terry watched her, his eyes gleaming with amusement.It was Jessica’s first time at Terry’s villa. The interior was simple and bright, but it was clear that the place wasn’t frequently lived in. The b
Jessica looked up and almost bumped into Terry's chin.Terry lowered his head slightly and raised his hand to point at his forehead, saying, "Can you help me wipe it?"Jessica looked at his finger, a drop of sweat was running down the man's forehead. The bead of sweat had reached his brow and was about to fall into his eyes.Jessica pursed her lips and raised her hand to wipe away the sweat drop with her thumb pad. "Done."With a warm touch on his soft fingertips, Terry looked at her, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and the smile in her peach blossom eyes became even more enchanting. "Thank you."Jessica took a step to the side and said, "I will serve these.""Okay."This hot pot meal was clearly planned in advance by Terry. The beef and tripe were very fresh, taken out from the soup that had been simmering on medium heat for over forty minutes. Even just dipping them in soy sauce was enough to make them delicious, after all, they were very fresh.The "Goof" trapped outside on the
Terry looked at her and smiled without saying a word.The two of them stared at each other and played the game for nearly five minutes. In the end, Jessica was defeated and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."It is indeed getting late. It is already half past nine. It will take more than half an hour to go back, and it will take more than half an hour to wash up at home. Jessica may not be able to fall asleep before eleven o'clock.Terry rubbed his temples and looked as if he was really drunk, saying, "I drank alcohol, and you also drank alcohol."He seemed to be simply stating the fact, "I called Jerry to come and take you back."Terry spoke, paused for a moment, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes and on his face, "If you want to stay, you can. I have already prepared your room."Jessica looked at him, and her first reaction was "premeditated."But he spoke so openly as if he was the one who cared, which made her appear petty.At this moment, Goof, who had been quiet
"Sorry, Mr. Davison, I was a little drunk."When Terry heard her words, he had already turned his body aside and directly avoided her leaning as the woman approached again.He frowned, and the smile in his peach blossom eyes faded a lot. The expression on his face was somewhat cold. "I'm sorry, Ms. Bolton, I have to go pick up my fiancée."He said, looking sideways at Jerry, "Jerry, take Ms. Bolton back."Janessa Bolton just now didn't lean on Terry, she leaned against the wall. She bit her lip, feeling a bit unwilling, and asked, "When did Mr. Davison get engaged?"As soon as the words fell, Janessa heard a soft female voice saying, "Terry." The familiar voice came from behind, and Terry's cold eyes instantly softened.He turned around and walked directly towards Jessica, saying, "Did we finish talking so quickly?"Jessica glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "I was afraid you were waiting."She smiled and her gaz
Jessica hung up the phone and didn't feel like strolling around anymore. She picked up two tissues and pushed the cart directly to the checkout counter.Jessica went out with her shopping bag only to find that it was raining heavily outside. The weather was fine when she arrived, but within half an hour, it started raining. It seems that September in LA can be quite unpredictable.The entrance of the shopping mall was filled with people without umbrellas. It had not rained in LA for nearly a month, so Jessica didn't even think about bringing an umbrella when she went out.Terry had a meeting this afternoon, and she didn't want to disturb him.Jessica called Hannah directly. Hannah had been sleeping heavily these days, and she was still in bed when she received the call.But she still had a conscience, and I heard that she was trapped in the mall by the rain, so I immediately got up and went out to pick her up.The sudden rain was quite heavy
The garden was large, and the scenery inside the garden at that time was very beautiful.Jessica followed Terry to the front door, Terry didn't open it, suddenly lifted her hand and placed a box in her palm."Key?"Jessica didn't guess wrong. She opened the box and inside was indeed a key.Jessica glanced at Terry and opened the door with the key.Pushing open the front door, there is a foyer. Walking past the foyer and going down three steps, there is a very large lounge.The side of the garden was fitted with panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass, and sitting on the sofa, one could see everything outside.Jessica glanced at him with a half-smile and asked, "Did you buy it?"Terry held her in his arms and leaned down to kiss her on the lips, saying, "Our marital home."The marital home was bought by the two of them together initially, but Jessica lost her memory, and she doesn't remember it.Terry didn't bring her her
Terry had a lunch appointment, while Jessica made herself a light meal at home for lunch.In the morning, Wendy sorted out the relevant materials for her again. After having lunch, Jessica entered the study and looked through the materials Wendy had prepared.Wendy was very attentive and considerate. The information she organized was all relevant. Jessica has been reading a lot of materials from the Hall Group these days, as well as some related professional books. However, she has lost her memory after all. She will return to the Hall Group next week, but she doesn't know if she will be able to cope.When the door of the study was pushed open, Jessica was looking at some documents.She was so focused that she didn't even notice when Terry walked in.It wasn't until there was suddenly an extra hand on the table that Jessica snapped out of it and instinctively turned her head to look at Terry standing beside her, saying, "Is it over already?"
Jessica was stunned for a moment, watching him gradually walk away, and her beautiful mood suddenly dissipated.Are you angry?But she thought for several seconds and couldn't figure out where she had made Terry angry.She just lied to him and said that her period hadn't come yet, just to tease him.With such a good relationship between the two, wasn't it a matter of course for things to progress smoothly?She was just making a little joke to add some fun.Does Terry think that she was just rejecting his advances?But she had clearly also kissed him actively, and she didn't really push him away.Jessica was lost in thought when Terry came back.He took off his shirt and was only wearing a loose pair of pajama pants.Jessica watched as he walked over with a cup of water, her eyebrows and eyes twitched. She was about to ask if he was angry, but he had already reached her and handed her the water, saying, "Have a dri
"Jessica, when you speak, just speak. Why did you have to hurt me?"Hannah lay on Mona's shoulder, feeling a sour taste in her mouth.Jessica was about to speak when she suddenly heard a familiar male voice behind her, saying, "What are you looking at?"It was Terry.Jessica's hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and her face suddenly became hot. She turned around and looked at Terry, who had entered at some point. "Weren't you supposed to come later?""Didn't we already wait?"Terry sat down beside her, smiling.Mona saw Terry and couldn't help but repeat her previous proposal. "Mr. Davison, we are missing a singer for tonight's performance. We all witnessed your singing skills last time. Would you mind helping me out and singing a few songs?"Terry heard what Mona said and a look of realization appeared on his face. "I listened to her."He smiled and glanced at Jessica.Jessica took a step ahead of Mona and s
In the end, Hari didn't stay to mooch off the meal. He felt like a streaker under Jessica's gaze.I was scared."Alright, I'll go change my clothes and not disturb you while you're eating! You guys go ahead and eat, I'll treat you another day when I have time!"Hannah smirked and said, "Forget it, Mr. Hartley should just save some money and take his blind date out for dinner."Hari heard Hannah's words and instinctively wanted to explain, "Do I look like such a stingy person? I just didn't like that woman and deliberately disgusted her!"However, he said so much, and Hannah just responded with a simple "Oh."Hari had a feeling of punching cotton with his fist, and he instinctively looked at Jessica. "Jessica, I wasn't that stingy, was I? When you were with the Thomas family before, which time did I give a gift?"Hari originally wanted to say that the birthday gift he had given to Jessica was not cheap. However, upon reflection, he rem
At noon, Jessica accepted Hannah's invitation to have lunch together. After finishing reading the documents, Jessica checked the time and realized it was already half past eleven. She went back to her room and changed into a dress without putting on any makeup, then she left directly.When Jessica arrived, Hannah had already eaten.Seeing her in this state, Jessica also breathed a sigh of relief. "Not bad, she still has an appetite."Hannah pouted and felt that the grilled chicken wings in her hand were not as delicious as she expected. "There's a newly opened grilled chicken shop that Mona said is tasty. I came here from her place to give it a try."Jessica took the disposable gloves she handed over to her and asked, "How much did you drink last night?"Hannah took a bite of the chicken wing and said, "Not much, just two bottles, and I wasn't even drunk yet."Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "Quite impressive."Upon hearing her w
After hanging up the phone, Jessica immediately grabbed her bag and left.She didn't remember the way, so she didn't drive and hailed a taxi downstairs.May's Hospital was quite a distance from the apartment. By the time Jessica reached the hospital entrance, it was already past ten o'clock at night.Just as she got out of the car, Jerry came up to her and said, "Ms. Hall, Mr. Davison has just finished the examination and is waiting for the results. He asked me to come out and pick you up."Jessica nodded and on the way there, she had already calmed down her mood, "What's going on?"Jerry roughly explained the situation, "It was an accident. We were coming out of a hotel when the other party was on the phone and accidentally stepped on the wrong pedal, causing them to rear-end our car."Jessica frowned, "Is Terry injured?"Jerry shook his head and said, "Mr. Davison had a minor abrasion, and it has been taken care of."Jessica
