Terry's reasons were indeed sufficient and also very convincing.
Morgan could also tell that he was not lying, in fact, Terry had no need to lie.
However, as a father, this mishap caused lifelong psychological damage to Jessica, and he was ultimately angry and dissatisfied. "Since you liked Jessica and you were the one with her that night, why didn't you come forward and pursue Jessica afterwards?"
Terry was naturally upset about this matter. "Uncle, Lucas and I used to be good friends."
Even though they had a falling out later, he never thought about competing with him for Jessica.
Terry has always been proud and confident, but tonight in front of Morgan, he showed a hint of pain. "I have liked Jessica since my freshman year. During my senior year, I saw Jessica pass by our school gate many times without any intention. I could also tell that she liked Lucas."
"That night was just a series of unfortunate events. She married Lucas because he
Jessica and Hannah hadn't seen each other for a long time. This time, when they went out, Hannah insisted on not letting Jessica leave early. Jessica could only watch as Hannah drank too much and sang until her voice cracked. She was tormented until after one o'clock in the morning, when Hannah couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Let's call it a night."It was almost 2 am when I got back home. It was too noisy in the bar earlier, so I didn't even hear Terry's phone call.Looking at the four missed calls on her phone, Jessica felt a wave of guilt.Terry was probably already asleep at this point. Jessica didn't call back; she just sent a message on Line.As soon as the message was sent, the phone started ringing.Jessica was a little surprised, "It's so late, why haven't you gone to sleep yet?""You didn't come home, I couldn't sleep."He made a pun, and Jessica was taken aback. "I just got home, and Hannah, she had too much to drink, a
Terry let go of Jessica, furrowed his brows slightly, showing some dissatisfaction."I'll go see who it is."Jessica was placed on the sofa by him, and the missing oxygen slowly started to come back at this moment, and her consciousness gradually returned.After Terry got up and left, Jessica remembered that she had ordered takeout.At this moment, Terry had already come in carrying takeout and said, "Hungry?"His voice was still somewhat deep when he spoke, and as Jessica listened, she could feel her face still burning.She sat up from the sofa and looked at Terry, "Hmm."Her gaze fell on those thin lips, and Jessica couldn't help but frown slightly. She raised her hand and pointed to her own lips, indicating, "Here, there's lipstick."She didn't put on makeup today, she just applied lipstick to brighten up her complexion.Just now, the two of them were in a state of confusion and infatuation, and the lipstick on her li
"Who was Troy?"Jessica had just hung up the phone when the lights in the room suddenly turned on.Terry walked in, raised his hand and touched her cheek, and hummed, "Another cousin of Ms. Howell?"Jessica didn't expect him to still remember Hannah's cousin's incident. She chuckled lightly and said, "You're so stingy, Terry."Terry kicked off his slippers and got into bed, holding her tightly. "It's good to know, baby. If you even glance at another man, I would be so jealous that I could knock over the vinegar jar."He held her hand, from the fingers all the way up to the arm, and it felt quite comfortable.Jessica hummed and said, "Troy was a swindler I knew in high school."Her magic tricks were also learned from Troy Atkinson. Six years ago, when Troy said he wanted to get into the Las Vegas scene, Jessica told Morgan about it, and Morgan introduced him.When Jessica was in college, she went to Las Vegas for fun. But now, T
Terry looked down at Jessica, who was smiling in his arms, and his eyes curved slightly. "What else do you want to hear?"Jessica stopped laughing for a moment, looked at him, and raised an eyebrow, "So, when was the last time you got hit?"Terry touched her long hair and said, "Four years ago."Jessica paused for a moment and asked, "Why?"Four years ago, Terry was already twenty-five, not a little boy anymore. Can Brice still handle him?Terry looked down at her with a half-smile and said, "Because I insisted on going abroad, my dad got angry.""Why were you so determined to go abroad back then?"Jessica immediately realized as soon as she finished speaking. Four years ago, wasn't it the night when, by some twist of fate, she agreed to marry Lucas?She pursed her lips and said, "Because of me?"Terry has never been one to dwell on the past, so now he can naturally bring up the topic in front of Jessica, saying, "Or may
The news of Bennett losing eight billion in Las Vegas quickly spread, and there was no way to keep it from spreading. It was said that he had gone to Las Vegas the day before and was very arrogant at the gambling table, claiming that he was the young master of the Davison Group and had no shortage of money. He wouldn't play in any game with stakes lower than five million.Such bold words were spoken, and that very evening they spread throughout the circle.Bennett gambled all night long. In the first few hours, he won more and lost less. Even the dealer who dealt the cards advised him to quit while he was ahead, but he said, "I can afford to lose."In the end of the second half, out of about twenty rounds, we only won three rounds.Bennett continued to gamble heavily, with each bet larger than the previous one. In the last two rounds, the stakes even reached as high as fifty million.It was a little after four in the morning when Bennett, presumabl
As soon as this notice came out, not only Jessica was stunned, but also the others who were waiting to see Terry's joke were dumbfounded.Terry just entered Sharp Technology for a month and unexpectedly managed to oust a CEO who had been in the position for over ten years, and took over the position himself?No one would believe it if it were said!However, the name of the CEO of Sharp Technology's headquarters in the United States LA area has already been changed to Terry, as stated on the official website.The news reached Heidy, and she was dumbfounded. "Are the executives at Sharp Technology crazy?"Of course, there were many people who had the same doubts as Heidy.As soon as the news of Terry's promotion came out, Vincent dutifully passed it on to Lucas."Is he the CEO of the LA area now?"Lucas frowned and looked at Vincent.Vincent nodded, "Yes, Mr. Thomas, you heard correctly, and I didn't see wrong either. Terr
Jessica's laughter was not small, as they walked ahead, Lucas behind them could hear it loud and clear.He tightened his hand in the pocket beside him, but in the end, he didn't speak up. He stood there, watching Jessica and Terry gradually move away in front of his eyes.As Terry approached the door, he turned around and glanced at Lucas. There was a hint of coldness in the smile in his peach blossom eyes, and he deliberately hooked the corner of his eye.Provocative and proud.Vincent also noticed Terry's gaze, and he instinctively looked towards Lucas beside him, pursing his lips and wisely choosing not to speak.Soon, Jessica and Terry left the hotel.The night wind was particularly cold, and Jessica was starting to feel a bit tipsy. However, as soon as the cold wind blew, she instantly sobered up.Terry opened the car door and let her go in first. She bent down and sat inside.The heater was on inside the carriage, and as
After finishing breakfast, Terry indeed fulfilled his promise and let Jessica play again.Just that Jessica paid a heavy price for playing, the neatly made bed was in a mess, and she lay on the pillow, not wanting to move much.Terry hooked her waist and immediately lifted the person up.Jessica was forced to lie on her side, and he pulled her close into his arms. Both of them were completely naked, and she could feel the unobstructed contact of their skin against each other.The light in the room was not turned on, only the curtains were pulled open. Today's weather was gloomy, and the incoming light was not bright either. The whole room was somewhat dim, which made the atmosphere even more ambiguous.The person behind her was kissing her shoulder, their warm breath hitting her shoulder. That moist and hot kiss made Jessica feel like she was burning up.She hummed and pushed his hand in front of her, saying, "No more, Terry.""No."
Jerry heard Terry's words and instinctively looked up at him.When Jerry's gaze met those peach blossom eyes, his heart felt a bit uncomfortable. "Mr. Davison, Ms. Hall is so smart, she must be able to handle it.""Is that so?"Terry lowered his head and raised his hand to cover the watch on his left hand.This is a customized couple watch made by Jessica, and there are only two of them in the world, making them unique.But as he watched the time pass by minute by minute on the watch, there was no joy in his heart. He had not seen her or heard her voice for twenty-five consecutive hours.This feeling was more painful than when he first found out that she was going to marry Lucas.He was really scared.Jerry had followed Terry for so many years and had never seen Terry like this before. Now, looking at him, Jerry also felt uneasy inside.But now Jessica has not been found yet, everything is still unknown. If they try a li
Running during the day is much better than running at night, at least you can see the road clearly.But inside this mountain, everywhere was trees and waist-high weeds, there was simply no path for Jessica to run.Jessica didn't have much strength left; she only knew that she couldn't be caught up.But she could still hear the woman's screaming voice, knowing without a doubt that she hadn't run far.The woman was probably going to call the man. It was all grass everywhere, where did she run to, they would find her if they were a bit smarter.Jessica stopped and leaned against a tree, catching her breath while analyzing the terrain.Looking around, she couldn't see any houses, so she couldn't ask for help.Jessica hesitated whether to run towards the foot of the mountain or up the mountain.She didn't have much time to hesitate anymore, as the man's angry roar and the woman's curses behind her were reminding her that they were a
The driver brother talked a lot. Jessica didn't know whether to believe his nonsense or not, but she was already exhausted.Fortunately, they chatted for more than ten minutes, and the taxi driver also noticed that Jessica was very tired. He handed her a bottle of mineral water and told her to take a nap. "I just finished delivering the goods and need to go home to pick up new ones. Don't mind, take a rest for a while. We will arrive at my house in ten minutes."Jessica took the mineral water and unscrewed it, then drank more than half of it directly.The elder brother driver stopped talking, and she also remained silent, turning her head to look out of the car window. She almost fell asleep several times, but she managed to hold on.The driver did not deceive him, his house was indeed just nearby. The small truck drove into a village, and Jessica got out of the car with him."Have some breakfast first. The police station is five kilometers ahead.
Neither of the two men expected that Jessica would suddenly escape, after all, her hands and feet were tied with ropes.The two of them were chatting just now. Although they occasionally glanced at Jessica, they found that when Jessica disappeared, she had already run seven or eight meters away.Two men were in the car and they really thought Jessica had diarrhea. They felt a bit disgusted, so they closed the car door. However, they realized that she had run away when they opened the door, causing a delay of one or two seconds. By the time the two men got out of the car, Jessica had already run up the hill.Late at night, in the quietness, the outskirts of the area within ten miles seemed deserted as if there were no households around. Two men's angry shouts were closely chasing from behind.Jessica was wearing high heels on her feet, and she was not running comfortably. However, the mountain road was overgrown with weeds, and if she took off her shoes, s
Terry directly handed the money to him and led the people over to the other side of District 3.Lucas noticed some movement over here and came over with someone. "What did you find?"Terry glanced at him and said, "Just now, a night shift employee said that around midnight, two vans drove over here."Late at night, two vans arrived here. Besides transferring Jessica and Olivia, what else could they do?Obviously, both Terry and Lucas were a step late. By the time they arrived here, it was already a little past twelve forty.Terry looked at the containers in front of him for a while, and suddenly remembered something. "When I came over, I saw two vans turning from Sea Road to the other side of Purple Road."At the end of Sea Road is the harbor, and the two vans that turned out from the Sea Road entrance are very likely the two vans that the night shift worker mentioned.Terry was the first one to arrive here. It was over 800 meters fro
Olivia cried all day, slept soundly, and suddenly got kicked, waking up. She forgot about being kidnapped and got angry when she woke up. She yelled at Jessica, "What are you doing? Why did you kick me?""Someone came, don't speak."Olivia heard the noise outside and also realized it. She moved in a panic next to Jessica and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I just woke up."Jessica didn't say anything; she had a very bad feeling.Soon, the container was opened again.This time, among the visitors, Luna was not present, only four men were there.They held flashlights and shone them into the container. They took a look and then immediately looked down at their phones.Jessica's heart sank in an instant, and she whispered to Olivia, "They are going to move us to another place later. Be careful not to give anything away. Make sure they don't find out that the ropes on our hands and feet are not properly tied."Olivia's face turned pale as so
"Lucas, long time no see. I heard that Justin passed away, what a pity. I didn't have the chance to attend the funeral, after all, it was extremely difficult for me to escape from Justin's clutches. Your sister and Jessica are both in my hands, don't worry, they are doing well now and I'm in a good mood. However, you don't have much time left to relax. You should think carefully about what is more important to you, the person you love or your own sister."The signature is Luna.After reading the message, Lucas' face immediately darkened. "Vincent, look up Luna for me!"Terry glanced at him, but did not ask Jerry to check on Luna.Luna dared to send the message to Lucas' phone, proving that she might not be in LA anymore.Jessica and Olivia must have been in LA, after all, Luna still had to let Lucas choose.Now there is finally news about Jessica, although it is not good news, it is still better than knowing nothing at all.Terry look
It was ten o'clock at night, and it had been eight hours and forty minutes since Jessica went missing. However, Terry had no clue at all.Afternoon, Jessica went to the bathroom. Wendy waited by the car for twenty minutes, but when she saw that Jessica hadn't come out yet, she called her on the phone. However, the line was busy on the other end.Wendy realized that something might have gone wrong. She went to the restroom to find Jessica while calling Terry. After contacting Terry, she had already reached out to the hotel manager and entered the surveillance room.The surveillance footage showed that Jessica entered the first-floor restroom at 13.11 in the afternoon and remained inside until 13.30. However, the footage did not show anyone coming out of the restroom during that time. It was as if Jessica had disappeared into thin air inside the restroom.According to the surveillance footage, it was not until 1.40 pm that a hotel guest checked out and ente
Jessica was also very shocked after hearing Luna's words.She guessed that Justin would target Luna and her two sisters, but she didn't expect him to do such a malicious thing.Although it is true that Luna and Trissy had the wrong idea of wanting to marry into a wealthy family and live a life of ease, it does not justify intentionally luring them and causing one of them to die and the other to be injured.Luna looked at Olivia, almost gritting her teeth. "Rest assured, considering how you did treat me well before, I won't harm you for now. But whether you can survive or not, that depends on your brother!"When Luna said these words, her eyes were filled with resentment, which frightened Olivia and made her tremble all over.Luna looked at it and found it boring, so she directly pushed Olivia away.Olivia fell down, landing heavily and making a loud "thud" sound.However, no matter how loud the sound was, on such a night, in such an e
