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
"If I'm not mistaken, we were inside a container."Olivia was originally just sobbing softly, but upon hearing Jessica's words, she completely broke down. "I didn't do anything, why did you bring me to this place!"Jessica glanced at Olivia, but due to the dim light, she couldn't see her clearly. However, in such a small space, Olivia kept crying, which annoyed her a bit. "Stop crying for now and tell me what's going on.""What happened? I had made an appointment to have a meal with someone, but I fainted before finishing the meal. How was I supposed to know what happened?"Jessica knocked on the carriage and said, "Crying won't help you. If you don't want to die, I suggest you calm down."The word "death" struck a chord with Olivia. She used to be very spoiled and willful, but after being abandoned by Lucas and left alone overseas for over half a year, her temperament has been smoothed out quite a bit.After returning to their home country,
Olivia was completely terrified, and instinctively moved closer to Jessica, but they were still a bit far apart and didn't quite reach Jessica. As a result, Olivia fell directly.But she remembered Jessica's words and was afraid that Jessica would despise her. She dared not shout or scream even if she fell, biting her lip as she moved closer to Jessica.The strong light shone in for about two seconds and was quickly moved away.Jessica also lifted her head and looked towards the direction of the container's exit.When Jessica saw Luna, she paused for a moment.In the past few seconds, she thought about many people, people Morgan had grudges against, people Terry had grudges against, even people Lucas had grudges against, but she never thought about Luna.After all, since Olivia was sent abroad last year, the two sisters Luna and Trissy seemed to have disappeared from Jessica's sight, and it had been eight months since they last appeared.
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
Foster originally thought that his memory would never fully recover for the rest of his life, but a car accident in the third year after immigrating made him go through the gates of death again, but also returned all of his lost memories.Samuel was taken aback for a moment when he saw the look in her eyes and said, "Don't tell me you've lost your memory again."There were many wounds on his body. Foster tried to get up, but he found himself very heavy.Upon seeing the situation, Samuel also became afraid and quickly spoke, "Don't move, we finally got out of the ICU, don't go back again."Foster did not move anymore, he turned his head and looked outside the window of the ward.The weather today was very nice, just like the day eight years ago when he left.That day, he left carrying a family grudge, thinking that Hannah was just an accident.Eight years later, their revenge had been avenged, and Hannah had long since married.
On the day of Gemma's seventh birthday, Hannah and Kendall went to the park and set up a tent. They invited Georgia and brought a small grill. The three of them had a pleasant afternoon.Georgia also realized at that time that Gemma had actually been looking forward to going camping with them in a couple of days when she left.Today, we went camping, which fulfilled Gemma's unfinished wish.Gemma left, and the rest of the people had to continue living their lives.Kendall had originally taken a vacation for over a month, intending to return to the company only after the two of them got married and officially ended their leave.Now Gemma couldn't wait for his and Hannah's wedding, so he left. There was still nearly a month left, and Kendall asked Hannah to stay with Georgia on the South side for a while, as he was going abroad.He went abroad to meet the senior executives of the Harrington Group, who had been overseas all along. After that, h
After the cremation was completed, the staff asked Kendall to pick up the bones.Without waiting for Kendall to speak, she immediately refused.She couldn't understand this twisted "service". The loss of a loved one is already enough to make people feel desperate and miserable, and after cremation, they actually make people go and pick up the bones.Even though it was just symbolically picking one or two, it still remained incomprehensible.This was simply cruel and incomprehensible.The people in charge of the cemetery burial had already made arrangements. After leaving the funeral home, the group followed the car to the cemetery.The location of Gemma's grave was very good, and the photo on the tombstone showed her in her thirties, looking young, elegant, and beautiful.The urn was placed inside, the tomb was buried, and everything came to a complete end here.Hannah looked up at the distant sky with red eyes.The weat
Hannah really had no appetite and couldn't continue eating after a few bites.She lowered her head and drank the chicken soup that Gemma had specially instructed the aunt to stew before leaving. Tears fell directly into the soup.In fact, there wasn't much deep emotion between her and Gemma, but during this time, listening to her talk about many childhood things, now that she's gone, this sudden blow has made Hannah unable to bear it.She lowered her head, trying hard to calm her emotions, but the more she tried, the more uncomfortable she felt.Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and got up to go to the bathroom.Hannah stayed in the bathroom for a while before she came out.At that time, Georgia and Jaylen also came over.The sky had already turned completely dark when Georgia and Jaylen stepped in, guided by the moonlight."Where was your mother?"Georgia looked relatively calm and, looking at Kendall, asked a quest
Kendall quickly bought everything and brought it back.Recently, Gemma actually couldn't eat much. She relied on nutrient fluids and some soup to maintain the most basic nutrition.She was rare in the mood to eat something at the moment, although she didn't eat much, she tried a little bit of everything."This sausage isn't that delicious, why do so many children like to eat it?"Gemma was particularly puzzled. It smelled quite fragrant, but when she tasted it, it was really average.Hannah smiled and said, "Probably because parents didn't allow us to eat it often, so it tasted better.""Hannah's point does make some sense,"She said, sighing, "In fact, that's just how people are, no matter who they are or how old they are, there's always a bit of rebellion. The more others try to stop you from doing something, the more you want to do it."And she herself, wasn't she like this too?The group of people started walking bac
After Kendall returned to the South town, Gemma visibly became much happier.Kendall had everything arranged for work. After returning from this vacation, unless there was a necessary emergency, he wouldn't even answer a work phone call.Every day, Hannah and I would go to Gemma's place for meals. In the evening, when the sun was setting, the two of us would push Gemma for a walk outside the villa.Blaine did come to see Gemma once, probably after her serious illness. Gemma also let go of a lot and didn't feel the same way about Blaine as before.After so many years since their divorce, this is the first time they sat down to have a proper conversation.After Konnor's death, Kendall was unwilling to inherit everything from the Hawthorne family, but the shares he returned did not fall into his hands, nor did they fall into Jeffrey's hands.Nowadays, Jeffrey is just a nobody.Blaine's days were looking bright, but all was in Kendall's h
Kendall knew that he couldn't argue with Hannah, and if they continued to argue, they would definitely fight.He didn't speak anymore, took a few sips of hot drink, and then closed his eyes to take a nap.He didn't really have a good rest during this period of time. In order to rush over, he had been working overtime for five consecutive nights.The carriage was quiet with no one speaking. After the train got on the expressway, Hannah glanced at Kendall beside her.The person had already fallen asleep.She curled her lips slightly, knowing that this person was stubborn.Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the parking lot.Hannah drove the car well, while Kendall showed no signs of waking up.She took out her phone, checked the time, and it was already past eleven.Although Kendall was sleeping soundly, she didn't want to wake the person up, but she couldn't let him sleep in the car all the time, could she?Ha
Gemma woke up for the second time, and she stayed awake for a little longer, but not for too long. She managed to stay awake for about twenty minutes before falling asleep again.Hannah and Kendall stayed at the hospital until after 8 o'clock in the evening, when Gemma woke up again.When she woke up this time, she was feeling better, although she still couldn't speak very fluently, but much better than during the day.In the evening, Georgia brought dinner over, along with some soup.Kendall fed Gemma half a bowl of chicken soup and had a conversation with her before they left the hospital.It was very dark, and the two of them had already arrived home at nine o'clock.Hannah remembered Kendall's plan to return to LA tomorrow and couldn't help but ask, "What time is your flight tomorrow?""Around 7 o'clock in the morning, a bit early, I drove directly to the airport.""Okay."She took the cup from his hand and lowered h
When Hannah woke up, Kendall was already not in bed.Although I slept for a while, I didn't sleep well last night, and it is difficult to make up for it with a nap during the day.As soon as she got up, Hannah felt a bit dizzy. She picked up the phone beside her and realized it was already past twelve o'clock.She and Kendall didn't get home until 8 o'clock, and they only slept for four hours.I don't know how long Kendall slept.She sat on the bed for a while, and only got up and left the room after she woke up.Walking into the living room, Hannah saw Kendall on the phone.She took a glance, didn't walk over, and went to the countertop of the open kitchen to pour herself a glass of water. While drinking, she messaged Georgia, asking about Gemma's current situation that day.The message had been sent for a while, but Georgia did not reply.She had just looked up when Kendall had finished the call.The two of them
