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

    There was only Jessica left in the room. She stood by the bed, feeling a bit abnormal.Why did she agree to stay?Ah.Drinking really caused trouble.But since she had already stayed, Jessica didn't want to think about it anymore.She was not a melodramatic person. She and Terry were both unmarried, so even if something happened, they wouldn't have betrayed anyone.Thinking about the morning meeting tomorrow, Jessica collected her thoughts and went to the wardrobe to find a set of pajamas.When Jessica's gaze fell upon the clothes stacked below, she felt her face instantly heat up upon seeing the lace edges.Terry was indeed... meticulous!Jessica finished taking a shower and came out. There were a few unread messages in her phone, which were emails sent by Wendy.Jessica clicked into Line and entered Hannah's chat box. Today's messages only went up until noon, when she asked Hannah to come pick her up and go to Lune Restaurant. After that, there was a blank space.At this time in the

    When the car stopped downstairs of the Hall Group, it was during the rush hour.Terry's car today was unusually low-key, casually parked downstairs without attracting much attention.Jessica undid her seatbelt and said, "Thank you, I will treat you to a meal another day."Terry looked at her and said, "You must have said this more than three times. Which day exactly, Ms. Hall?"Jessica thought for a moment and said, "I should go to Fresno in a couple of days. I won't be in LA this week, but I'll treat you to dinner when I come back next week, okay?""Just kidding."He said, handing her a packaged cup of black sugar ginger on the side, "It's cold weather, drink more, it's beneficial."Jessica didn't react at first. "What is this?"Not until she held it in her hands and smelled the faint scent of ginger did she know what it was."Thank you."It was getting late, and Terry took the initiative to open the car door for her.Jessica got out of the car holding a cup of ginger tea with brown

    Jessica was not someone who couldn't bear hardships, and she only found out about the Hall family being the richest after she became an adult.She was raised as an ordinary girl from a regular family since she was young. The conditions at home were slightly better than average, but she still understood the hardships of life.But Graham saw that Jessica was not speaking and felt a little uneasy in his heart. "Ms. Hall, is it possible that these conditions--"Jessica smiled and said, "Graham, you misunderstood. It's just that I haven't been on such a long car ride in a while, so I might feel a little carsick."Graham had no way of knowing whether Jessica's words were true or false, but seeing her gentle demeanor, he didn't say anything further. "This way is all mountain roads, and it can be a bit bumpy to go up the mountain. It's also getting late. Ms. Hall and Wendy should freshen up first, and later we can have dinner inside the hotel."This place was really poor, as Jessica saw on he

    Because it snowed, the road was difficult to walk on. The originally three-and-a-half-hour journey took over four hours. The group arrived at the base after 1 pm.The so-called base, in fact, was just a red brick wall surrounding the area. Facing the main entrance were two connected two-story bungalows, which housed the research lab and offices.Including the researchers, there were a total of five people at the base.Graham led Jessica and introduced her to the personnel at the base. The people at the base knew that a "big shot" was coming today, so they had prepared lunch early.They also tried their best to help Selma out of poverty. For lunch, Jessica had a lot of rare and precious mushrooms that she rarely ate, as well as a pot of herbal chicken soup, which was stewed with local specialty herbs.After lunch, Jessica and Wendy rested for half an hour and then followed Graham and the researchers to visit the greenhouse.I have to say, Jessica really didn't come in vain this time.

    Jessica didn't sleep well last night. Just now, she was sleeping soundly in the car when she was suddenly awakened. She didn't pay much attention to what Harold said.Wendy saw her frowning, looking a bit confused, and explained, "Ms. Hall, a tree fell and blocked the road. I didn't notice it earlier, so I had to brake suddenly."Jessica woke up at this moment and nodded, "I understand."She responded by glancing outside the car window. The wind and snow outside had become much heavier compared to when they had set off. Looking into the distance, she saw a vast expanse of white snow and heavy snowfall with strong winds. The visibility was only about two or three meters, so it was no wonder Harold hadn't noticed that tree earlier.With that in mind, Jessica averted her gaze and looked ahead at the car.Harold had already reached the fallen tree trunk, which was not a very big tree, but it had fallen to a height of seven to eight meters and was very sturdy, weighing around three to four

    Terry arrived at Selma's a little after three in the afternoon. This time, he came with a poverty alleviation project, but the poverty alleviation project in Terry's hands is not in Selma, but in Riverdale next to Selma.Terry knew that the Hall Group was also building poverty alleviation projects here this year, and thinking of what Jessica said that day, he guessed that Jessica had come over here.Jerry took some time to find out that Jessica went into the base in the mountains today, but Jessica and Wendy will take a flight the day after tomorrow morning, and they will definitely return to town tonight."Mr. Davison, Ms. Hall will definitely come back tonight. It's still early, so why don't we go to the place where Ms. Hall lives and wait for her?"Terry looked out of the car window at the wind and snow, with lowered eyes and a somewhat cold expression. "Hmm."The snow seemed to be falling heavier and heavier.Jerry heard Terry respond and instructed the driver to go to the house w

    The villagers, who were quite old, rode a horse and rushed through the wind and snow, directly blocking the front of the main force.Terry's temper was particularly bad at this time. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, but nicotine couldn't calm his inner irritability.He squinted his eyes, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight to the front of the queue.Suddenly, a car emerged, startling the elderly villager who was in the middle of negotiating.Jerry saw the situation and quickly jumped out of the car and ran to Terry's car, saying, "Mr. Davison..."The snow was so heavy that as soon as Jerry opened his mouth, he was hit in the face by the wind and snow.But he knew that Terry was now like a fierce beast, uncontrollable by anyone.The villager said something unknown, and the leader of the rescue team frowned, "None of us knew how to ride a horse."With a semi-dialect accent, Terry still managed to understand as he looked at the old villager leading the black horse, sud

    Wendy pulled Jessica and said, "Ms. Hall, shall we go forward a little more?"Jessica glanced at her, her hands and feet were already numb from the cold. Looking at Wendy's pleading eyes, Jessica bit her lip.Her cracked lips were suddenly bitten, causing blood to flow. The taste of blood made Jessica slightly sober. She glanced at Harold, who was waiting ahead of them, and said, "Let's go."Once stopped, I didn't want to continue walking.Jessica remained silent and followed Wendy silently all the way.Wendy's situation wasn't good either, but she knew that this time, she had to bring Jessica back safely.When Jessica fell down, Wendy was scared for the first time.Harold heard a scream and quickly turned back, but he didn't have much strength left. He gritted his teeth and barely managed to carry Jessica.Harold lifted Jessica from the snow and pinched her philtrum. When his hand touched Jessica, Harold's hand trembled slightly. "Ms. Hall, she has a fever!""What should we do, Harol

    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. She was like an everlasting fire, enveloping him, and managed to melt his icy heart.But now, she says it's over.The fire was extinguished, but he had already melted. 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 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
