Jessica stopped swirling her wine glass and bent down, looking straight at Stephanie. "Yeah, it's a coincidence. I happened to hear everything Ms. Sheppard said just now too."
As soon as Jessica said this, Stephanie's friend said discontentedly, "How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation? Are you crazy?"
Jessica glanced at the woman indifferently and ignored her, saying, "It seems that Ms. Sheppard didn't take my good advice last time. But after a few days of not seeing her, Ms. Sheppard's mouth has become even more foul. Since that's the case, let me help you rinse your mouth, Ms. Sheppard."
"What do you want to do? This is a public place - ah!"
Stephanie hadn't even spoken yet when Jessica pinched her cheeks, causing her to open her mouth in pain. In the next second, Jessica raised her hand and splashed the juice from her cup towards Stephanie's mouth.
Some juice splashed into Stephanie's mouth, but most of it splashed onto her face, instantly f
On April 26th, the Thomas family's Lucas and the Stone family's Susie got married.The wedding was held at the largest seven-star hotel in LA, and the Thomas family and the Stone family got married, making it a grand occasion.When Jessica and Terry arrived, the outside of the hotel was already filled with luxury cars waiting to enter.They didn't come early. Jessica and Terry came after dinner. The wedding starts at 7.30, and it's already 7 o'clock now.The car in front was driving in one minute per car, and by the time it was Jessica's turn, it was already 7.10.After parking the car, Jessica and Terry walked around to the trunk.Jessica looked at the two gifts placed side by side there and couldn't help but smile.I wonder how Lucas felt when he saw the "early birth of a noble child" she gave him and the "many children, much happiness" Terry gave him later.If she were Lucas, she would probably want to kick them out.
Lucas got married, although it was his second marriage, the wedding was grandly held with a large number of guests attending. Just the toasting alone took nearly two hours.Justin was not feeling well, so naturally he couldn't stay at the hotel with the newcomers for so long.Not long after Terry and Jessica left, Justin couldn't hold on any longer and had Dwayne support him as they left through the back door of the venue.After the toast, Lucas directly handed over the following matters to Vincent.As the best man, Hari drank a lot of alcohol and, looking at Lucas, became much bolder. "Lucas, did you see the gift that Jessica and Terry gave?"Lucas also drank a lot of alcohol, but he was still sober.He heard Hari's words and then thought about the gift Terry had mentioned specifically while toasting earlier. Without a doubt, he knew it was not a good gift.Just then, Susie on the side spoke up and said, "The gifts from Ms. Hall and
Jessica raised an eyebrow and followed him up to the third floor.On the third floor, there was only a living room and a master bedroom. As soon as Jessica went up, she saw the drum set placed behind the white sofa.Jessica was a little surprised, "You can play the drums too?"Terry, of course, did not know how to play the drums. He looked down at her and said, "I don't know how."He smiled and said, "But my baby could."Jessica glanced at him, lifted her leg and walked over. Only when she walked over did she realize that this drum set was quite impressive.This drum set was the last drum set carefully crafted by AR company before it went bankrupt. Many master's signatures were engraved on the drum set, making it the last surviving product of AR.After the bankruptcy of the AR company at the beginning of the new century, this drum set was bought by an anonymous buyer for $340,000. Ten years ago, for some unknown reason, this drum set
As she left the yard, Jessica glanced at Terry and said, "Why did you provoke him?"Terry hummed and said, "He was staring at you."Lucas got married, yet he still shamelessly stared at Jessica. It would have been fine if he ignored Susie, but how could he treat her like a dead person?Since he didn't let him have a good time, naturally he wouldn't let him have an easy time either.Jessica was taken aback, "Mrs. Thomas was right beside him."Terry lowered his head and looked at her with a half-smile, "Why did he marry Susie, don't you know, darling?"Jessica smiled and had to change the subject. "Shall we go to Star Lake Villa? Don't we need to give them a heads-up in advance?"She knew very well that if it weren't for Susie having the Thomas family's child in her hands, Justin would not have forced Lucas to marry Susie.Justin was always getting older, but he wasn't completely senile. Although there were some incidents involvi
Hannah did not lie. Their small group was actually a small band. Every year on Jessica's birthday, Hannah and Lance Caesar would go on stage with a few others to sing a song for Jessica.Hannah also had a sudden impulse today. Originally, she was prepared to go up with Lance. Mona's staff had already set up the microphone. However, when the conversation turned to herself, she was eager to change the topic and successfully divert the attention. With a quick thought, she came up with the idea of having Terry go up to sing.Although it was initially proposed in a hurry, when Terry agreed, everyone in the private room was quite excited.Hannah was the type of person who enjoyed watching the excitement and didn't mind getting involved in big matters. She had managed to avoid the topic herself by using Terry as a distraction, but now that Terry had agreed so easily, she felt unsatisfied.Watching Terry take the microphone, she suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!
"Ah ah ah! What a sweet drama of the century! I went dancing and ended up with a stomach full of dog food!""Boohoo, may I ask where can I find a boyfriend like Ms. Hall's boyfriend?""Is this Ms. Hall the same Ms. Hall who was proposed to on the screen not long ago?""You mentioned it and it all came rushing back to me, the joy of love at first sight in my youth, the longed-for future, and the unwavering belief! I actually saw the sequel at Cloud Top!"***When Jessica came down from the stage, her face was as hot as if it had been roasted by fire.She reached out and took a glass of juice that no one had drunk before, then tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.Terry on the stage was still singing, until the end of the song, his gaze was always following Jessica.Hannah felt her teeth ache as she watched, and Lance couldn't help but say, "Look at you, still causing trouble. Now, I'm shoving handfuls of dog food in
Jessica had already woken up and was sitting on the bed, rubbing her eyes.Seeing him come in from outside with his phone, I was a little curious and asked, "What time did you wake up?"Even though we stayed up late together, why was Terry always able to wake up earlier than her and not feel tired?Last night, the two of them came back from Cloud Top and it was already past one o'clock in the morning. They finished taking a shower around two o'clock in the morning.Jessica hadn't slept this late in a long time. She slept straight through until after nine o'clock, and she still felt heavy-headed and not very energetic."Just woke up."He smiled and walked over to hand her the phone, saying, "Just now, my uncle called and I answered."Jessica paused for a moment and asked, "What did my dad say?""He saw the video of me singing to you last night, praised me for singing well, and asked me about my hand incidentally."Jessica
After hanging up the phone, both of them instinctively looked at each other and almost simultaneously spoke."Justin, he...""Justin was critically ill..."Jessica burst into laughter first, "Jerry's phone?"Terry looked down at her, lips curled up, and said, "Wendy's phone?"The two of them locked eyes for a second, and Jessica spoke first, "It seems like we received the same information."Terry led her out, and the car was parked in the open-air parking lot outside the hotel.Although Terry's right hand had already had the cast removed, the doctor advised him to rest for another half month before driving again.So tonight, the task of driving naturally fell on Jessica's shoulders.The two got in the car, Jessica fastened her seatbelt and glanced at Terry, saying, "A few days before my birthday, Justin was also critically ill. It's only been about ten days since this month started, and this is already Justin's second cr
When Jessica woke up, the sky outside had already turned dark.Terry was no longer in the room. She picked up the phone beside her and found a message from Terry on Line.He was already over at the hospital, Brice had just woken up, but the situation wasn't very good, he still needed to stay in the ICU.Jessica breathed a sigh of relief and then glanced at the time, realizing that she had slept until after 7 o'clock in the evening.These past few days, Terry hardly closed her eyes. Although she dozed off while accompanying him, she couldn't sleep well after all. Today, she was persuaded by May and Morgan to come over to the hotel and rest, and finally had a good night's sleep.After a nap, Jessica felt much better.She turned on the light and sat on the bed for a while before getting up to tidy up downstairs and have a quick bite. Then, she packed some food and headed to the hospital.The hotel was not far from the hospital, it was ju
Time passed minute by minute, and the sky outside had long turned dark, but the light in the operating room was still red, and the door to the operating room had not been pushed open.No one knew what was going on with Brice.Jessica could feel the uneasiness in Terry's emotions, and she lifted her other hand to cover his hand, “Terry."Upon hearing her voice, Terry turned his head towards her and said, "I'm fine."He finished speaking and then let go, giving her head a rub.Jessica held his hand tightly and didn't say anything.It was around 7 o'clock in the evening when the door of the emergency room was finally opened. However, it was indeed the doctors and nurses who came out with the surgical consent form, saying, "Who among you is Brice's family member? The patient is currently experiencing severe bleeding and we need someone to sign..."Terry stood up subconsciously, Jessica realized it first and gently pulled him.Benne
Jessica washed her face and felt much more awake. She looked at Terry, who was lying on her bed again, and chuckled, "Terry, are you shameless even in my house?"He did not directly answer her question, "I woke up at six o'clock this morning."Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "Well, you are really impressive."He smiled and reached out to lift her onto the bed, saying, "Weren't you planning to sleep in tomorrow morning?""Yeah."Jessica looked down at him and didn't react for a moment, “What's wrong? Do you want to go to Brice's place?"Even though Terry is not biologically related, he should still go and see Brice."No."He leaned in and kissed her on the face.Jessica had just washed her face, and the water on her face had not completely dried yet. Her face felt cool, but Terry's lips were warm, and his breath was warm too.The heater was on in the room, and she was only wearing a loose sweater when Terry ef
The time was already late, and Jessica hadn't taken a bath for long.She had just come out of the bathroom when she saw her bedroom door being pushed open.Jessica paused for a moment and looked at Terry, who was walking in wearing pajamas. "What's wrong?""Go to sleep."He spoke as he walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, lifting the covers and lying down directly.Jessica raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't you afraid my mom will walk in tomorrow?""Auntie should have given you some face."He smiled, with a hint of pride in his eyes.Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "No, you go back to sleep!"Terry looked at her, raising an eyebrow, "So, did you come to my room again in the middle of the night?"Upon hearing her words, her face grew slightly warm. "Who said that? Last time, I was just not accustomed to it.""Well, this time I wasn't used to it."He said, picking up the phone she had plac
The two of them walked and stopped, and saw a stall where people were playing games. There were also many curious onlookers in front of the stall, so Jessica and Terry also stopped.Terry touched her hand and didn't feel it was cold before speaking, "Do you want to play?"Jessica shook her head and said, "I have never played this before."The mouth of the pot was so narrow and small, who could throw it in without practice.She was just curious and wanted to see if anyone would play.But obviously, most people don't know how to play, they just want to have some fun and try something new.Jessica looked for a while and wanted to continue walking forward. Suddenly, her feet tightened, and she lowered her head only to realize that a little girl, who had just reached her knees, was hugging her.She quickly pulled Terry's sleeve. Terry lowered his head and saw the little girl. His eyes lit up with curiosity, "Where did you come from?"
Morgan said ten minutes, and indeed, in ten minutes, he had finished preparing the remaining two dishes.Four people, Morgan made a soup and eight dishes.When the four of them sat down, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and this lunchtime was a bit late.Jessica got up at seven in the morning and went to the airport with Terry after having breakfast.There were snacks on the plane, but she didn't like to eat them.So until now, Jessica hasn't had anything else to eat except for the bowl of soup she just drank.Outside, it was unknown who set off the fireworks, and occasional sounds could be heard. The New Year was getting closer and closer.Morgan opened a bottle of red wine, and Jessica drank about half a cup.Morgan rarely drank outside, but today, feeling happy, he had two drinks and started talking to Terry about how he had met Brice.Terry occasionally responded with one or two sentences, with Jessi
Jessica was stunned for a moment, she had lost her memory and couldn't remember anything.Now, hearing Terry mention the past again, I feel like an unrelated bystander.But she was also a bystander who loved Terry, listening to his casual words, feeling an indescribable sense of oppression in her heart.She pursed her lips and asked, "Why were you able to persist for so many years?"The car stopped as the traffic light turned red. Terry turned to her and looked at her directly, saying, "Maybe I was too stubborn?"He said this with a smile, but Jessica felt a little sour in her heart as she listened, “If you had the chance to do it all over again, would you still be so stubborn?""Yeah, I will."He responded and suddenly reached out to grab her hand, his fingers landing on her middle finger, which was adorned with an engagement ring."But I might not have had that much patience, I might have just eloped."He smiled and to
After the incident, Jessica and Terry came out of the police station and it was almost 7 o'clock. Jessica was feeling a bit hungry.It was very cold on the snowy day. Terry led her to the car and let her get in first.The car had been parked outside for over an hour, and the heating had long gone.Terry turned on the heater and asked, "Are we still going out for dinner?""Let's eat, didn't we already reserve a table?"Terry smirked and said, "Okay."The car slowly started, and the inside of the carriage gradually warmed up.Jessica's phone vibrated, and she looked down to see a message from Wendy.She raised an eyebrow, clicked on it to download the email, and then opened it.Wendy's initiative was strong, and in just over an hour, she had researched all the information about "the Golden Chain".The Golden Chain was indeed Roberto's nephew, but Roberto had long severed ties with their family.These days, I
"I, you—"The Golden Chain couldn't make any sense of it and became angry, saying, "I won't waste my time talking nonsense with you. Let these dogs of yours let go of me!"Jessica didn't like hearing such insulting words. She frowned and was about to speak when Wendy said, "Ms. Hall, the police have arrived."Jessica glanced outside and sure enough, there were already two police cars parked outside. The police cars came to a stop, and four police officers got out of the two cars respectively.The Golden Chain and his two companions heard Wendy say that the police had arrived, so they also looked outside the door and saw that it was indeed the police. The three of them panicked and immediately started pushing the security guard.The security guards were also trained, so it wasn't easy for them to be pushed aside.The three men were entangled with the security guard when four police officers came in. One of the officers shouted loudly, "Stop!"
