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."
As soon as Terry said this, Heidy, who had just calmed down, exploded again. "What do you mean by that, Terry? My nephew and I have been waiting for you guys here for ten minutes, and this is how you treat us?""Since that's the case, let's go then."Kaleb never expected Terry to deviate from the usual routine. "Terry, wait a minute, now that you're here, I believe you also want to resolve things properly."He said, and this time he scolded Heidy, saying, "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't care about you anymore!"Kaleb rarely got angry at Heidy. Heidy snorted, and this time she really didn't say much.Terry chuckled, "It's been a long time since someone called me Terry. Being addressed as Mr. Coffey really takes me back to the old days."Kaleb's face stiffened, "I didn't think it through, I should have called you Mr. Davison."Peach Blossom's eyes flickered slightly, "It's just a title, Mr. Coffey is fine."He spoke, glanc
Kaleb and Heidy were so angry that they left without touching their meals, leaving a table full of food.Jessica and Terry were not going to be polite to them. Since the dishes were already served, they didn't need to inconvenience themselves. They simply enjoyed their meal and left.When they were leaving, the waiter awkwardly looked at them and said, "Sir, you haven't paid yet."Terry raised an eyebrow and took out a card directly, saying, "Six zeros."Jessica glanced at the table of food behind her and said, "Tsk, it seems like the Coffey family was going downhill. Kaleb couldn't even afford to pay for a meal like this."Terry laughed and said, "Perhaps Mr. Coffey had some financial difficulties."Both of them were speaking hurtful words, while the waiter on the side listened awkwardly.Originally, whoever booked this private room would naturally be the one to pay for it.Kaleb has become a prominent figure in LA. He also ha
Lucas came in with a serious face and as soon as he entered, he saw Terry and Jessica.The two of them didn't know what they were talking about. Jessica smiled and looked at Terry with her eyes, even though there were no intimate gestures between them. However, with just this one movement, it clearly separated two worlds.He raised his hand and pressed his chest, walked towards Susie with a cold face.Seeing him, Susie seemed momentarily stunned, "Ah, you're here."Susie said, smiling and curling her lips, "I thought you weren't coming.""What exactly did you want to do?"Four years ago, she set such a big trap for him. Four years later, she dared to come back and ask him for help with the Stone family.Where did she get the courage from?Susie shrugged her shoulders and said, "I didn't have any plans, but aren't you trying to win Jessica back? You help the Stone family, and I'll help you get Jessica back, how about that?"
On that snow-white skin, the red marks left by the seatbelt were somewhat noticeable.Jessica's skin was prone to leaving marks. It wasn't that the seatbelt was really uncomfortable, but just in that moment, she was pulled tightly, with force on her shoulders, and the mark extended from her shoulder all the way down, looking somewhat alarming.Jessica lowered her head and only then did she notice the imprint of the seatbelt.She raised her hand and pulled her sweater. "It doesn't hurt, it's just obvious when you look at it.""Um."Terry responded with a sound, but did not take his hand away, "Let me have a look."He spoke as his hand had already pulled down the sweater she had just put on, leaving a diagonal mark from her shoulder to her chest, with a faint trace of red visible below.Jessica's heart skipped a beat as she was being watched, but Terry's expression was serious, so she had no choice but to put on a straight face and say,
Jessica flew back to LA from Fresno overnight. It was the last flight from Fresno to LA, and it arrived at half past ten.When the plane landed, it was almost 2 o'clock in the morning."Ms. Hall?"Jessica was sleeping soundly, having some scattered dreams, when suddenly she heard Wendy's voice, which startled her.I opened my eyes and the dimly lit airplane cabin had turned on the lights, becoming bright.She was pricked by the light and squinted her eyes slightly. Jessica was a bit slow to react, taking a second to ask, "Has the plane landed?""We have landed, Ms. Hall."As soon as Wendy finished speaking, the announcement on the plane came on, and the flight attendant informed that the plane had safely landed and passengers could disembark.Jessica rubbed her temples, feeling much more awake, and got up from the plane.The March in LA was unusually cold, and the night wind was chilling.Jessica was just woken up
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
