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
After having breakfast, Jessica drove and dropped Terry off at Sharp Technology before driving back to the Hall Group.Terry had originally planned to have Jerry send a driver to pick up Jessica. However, Jessica found it troublesome. Fortunately, Sharp Technology was not far from the Hall Group. She dropped him off at Sharp Technology first and then returned to the Hall Group herself. It was only a ten-minute matter.Both of them had morning meetings today, and Justin's death had a significant impact in LA.Jessica heard the employees discussing the matter in the elevator, but they were only talking about how Justin's will would distribute the Thomas family's assets. After all, besides Lucas and Olivia, who were Louis' son and daughter, Oscar was also considered a son of the Thomas family after he recognized his true identity.No matter what, Justin would never leave the descendants of the Thomas family with nothing.Jessica found it quite interes
Amanda wasn't angry either. "Ms. Hall is right, we were kicked out of the Thomas family, and it seems like it has nothing to do with you. However, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Davison's relationship with the Sheppard family should be similar to Oscar's relationship with the Thomas family, right?"Jessica didn't expect Amanda to be so smart. She didn't like smart people who schemed against her. "Ms. Ritter is really clever, but there is a difference between Terry's relationship with the Sheppard family and Oscar's relationship with the Thomas family. Terry's birth mother is the legitimate Mrs. Sheppard."And Oscar was just a bastard.Of course, Jessica did not utter the more offensive words.Amanda's face stiffened for a moment, but only for a moment, and she quickly returned to normal. "Since Mr. Davison is a member of the Sheppard family, I think Chad, Ms. Hall, you and Mr. Davison might want to be cautious, perhaps?""I heard that Mr. Davison had a l
"Have the two of them already gotten married?""I haven't met the parents yet, but we are planning to get engaged and get married next year.""Wow, congratulations in advance to both of you? I can see that you two are so compatible, have you been together for a long time?""Not very long, 145 days, but I have liked her for thirteen years.""Do you remember it so clearly? Was it at the request of your girlfriend?""No, it was me who felt that every day I spent with my girlfriend was meaningful.""Oh my goodness, Mr. Davison, were you feeding dog food?""Is it not allowed?""Hahaha, sure, sure."Listen, Terry was answering with what words.Jessica stood beside him, the heat on her face never dissipating.Seeing Terry was about to reveal the past secret of her unrequited love, Jessica finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I'm going home."The two of them were on stage for nearly five minutes, and
Justin was buried on the third day after his death, which means he will be buried tomorrow.Jessica was in a very good mood early in the morning, and the weather was also very nice. She had a morning meeting and went back to the company with Terry after having breakfast together.The Hall family and the Thomas family used to have a good relationship, but ever since Jessica and Lucas got divorced, they have completely fallen out.The surface-level friendliness still existed, but for events like this funeral, the Hall family would not send anyone, not even providing the Thomas family with the bare minimum of dignity.Since Justin's death, not a single member of the Hall family has expressed condolences.But the incident back then was so big that everyone in the circle knew about it.Although the Hall family and the Thomas family had a falling out, the Thomas family still had many acquaintances in the business world. Not to mention Justin's cha
Jessica didn't speak, but her meaning was clear.Susie suddenly laughed, "Well, for this kind of thing, if someone is determined to investigate, how can I hide it?"Seeing Jessica not responding, Susie also stopped talking and turned around to leave the room.Jessica raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't you tell Lucas?"Susie, standing by the door, paused for a moment. "He had no love for me, only hatred. Let him know that he will only hurt himself."Jessica was just curious, she didn't have the enthusiastic idea of giving advice to others, "Goodbye, Ms. Stone.""Goodbye."This time, neither of them said anything anymore.Susie opened the door and walked away directly.Jessica watched her back and picked up the pen again, twirling it in her hand.Susie still had something to say, but four years ago, she was also a victim, and Jessica didn't have the capacity to forgive yet.She did not personally deal with S
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
