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
This sound was familiar to Hannah, but unfamiliar to everyone else.However, Foster, the person in question, was recognized by the people present. After all, he was the CEO of Kangsel and made headlines on his first day in office after returning from overseas.Rowan naturally knew Foster as well. Their company had a collaboration with Kangsel, but the contract expired this year. Their company wanted to renew the contract with Kangsel. Rowan had even visited Kangsel twice, just to meet Foster, but unfortunately, he didn't get to see him both times.I didn't expect to run into you here.Hannah didn't want to deal with Foster, but due to the presence of others, she reluctantly responded, "What's up?""Your skirt is wet, you need to change it. Mr. Everitt asked me to come and take you to the changing room."Mr. Everitt was the host of today's business banquet, and to have gained the favor of Mr. Everitt is enough to prove Hannah's status, not to mention anything else.Rowan and Abigail ex
Not only was Sophia, Hannah's friend, curious about Hannah slapping Foster twice, but Joe, Foster's secretary, was also curious.But the two parties involved in this matter didn't really care about it. Hannah's attitude was that if a fight happened, so be it, what else could be done.Foster's attitude was that if he got hit, he got hit, and he didn't really care.Although Joe was curious, he dared not gossip about this matter. He just recalled a few days ago when Foster asked him to investigate Hannah's affairs, and he realized that Hannah was not ordinary to Foster.So, he almost always mentioned things about Hannah to Foster, whether intentionally or unintentionally.Foster didn't expose him either, Joe said, he just listened."Mr. Carroway, Miss Howell seemed to have attended the business dinner tonight."The business dinner tonight, Foster had already declined to attend two days ago, Joe's meaning in saying this was obvious.The man paused his action of flipping through the docume
Who is Dominic?Sophia had never heard of this person from Hannah's mouth, but looking at Hannah's expression, this "Dominic" was probably more than just a regular friend.Although Sophia was gossipy, she was not someone who liked to pry into her boss's personal matters.She didn't bother Hannah anymore, loosened the collar of her clothes, poured a cup of hot water and placed it by the bedside, and then closed the door and left.Hannah didn't sleep well all night and had a lot of random dreams, which seemed real and yet also seemed fake.She dreamt that Dominic came back in her dream and asked her for money. As soon as he opened his mouth, he demanded three billion. Hannah got angry and immediately slapped him twice.She watched as Dominic's face instantly turned fierce, and he raised his hand to hit her. Hannah instinctively dodged, and the next second, she found herself in Dominic's arms. He held her and apologized, saying he didn't mean to deceive her.Hannah didn't believe his non
The people of Sophia were shocked, as they never expected that Hannah, who was drunk, would start picking fights with others!Looking at the man who got beaten again, although he looked handsome, it was clear that he was not someone to mess with!Sophia was afraid that Hannah would be hit by someone in the next second, so she hurriedly went over to try to pull the person away, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my boss is drunk!"But her hand reached out for a long time, and she couldn't reach Hannah.Sophia instinctively lifted her head and as soon as she did, she saw the man next to her grabbing Hannah's shoulder and spinning her around.The next second, just when she thought the man was going to slap Hannah, he instead bent down and lifted Princess Hannah up in his arms.“What’s going on?”Was she drunk?Is it because her boss was good-looking that the other person became interested in her boss?This is not acceptable!Realizing this, Sophia quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying,
Hannah almost fell asleep on the couch, but woke up to find that it was almost 1 o'clock in the morning.The mood that was disturbed by that man is still very bad now. She pursed her lips, got up and went upstairs to take a bath and have a good sleep.It was probably in the evening when Foster blocked the door, and Hannah dreamt about him all night.The next day, Hannah woke up in shock. She touched her forehead and grabbed the nearby pillow, then started pounding it fiercely.She dreamt that she was being violently beaten by Foster's wife, with her hair being pulled out in the dream.Hannah was still trembling with fear as she looked in the mirror for a while, making sure her hair was still there before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.She was too lazy to make breakfast, so she sent Sophia a message and started getting ready for work.It has been over a month of wandering, it's time to go back and be a good boss.Hannah's work attitude has always been lackadaisical. The studio'
Hannah immediately closed the car window, she didn't even get out of the car, and just looked at the man in front of her car through the windshield.Foster moved slightly and walked around to the side of the car, “Hannah."He called her again.Two years ago, Hannah's favorite thing was his voice.Dominic, oh no, he doesn't go by Dominic anymore, he goes by Foster, Mr. Carroway.Not to mention, Foster had a handsome face and a voice that was captivating.However, after two years, when Hannah heard this familiar voice again, she didn't blush at all like she used to.This man had a cruel heart, she had witnessed it.Hannah, who had lived for almost thirty years, had never experienced such a big setback.She used to persistently pursue him, which was quite good. After all, it's normal for men and women to have feelings for each other. If you really didn't like it, you could have just spoken up instead of disappearing without a word.If Jessica had come that day, Hannah wouldn't have known
Seeing her frowning, Terry took her hand and asked, "What's wrong?""Hannah kept something from me."Terry didn't know much about Hannah's situation, and he didn't have any particular opinion on Jessica's words either, “Miss Howell is not young anymore, she will have her own judgment."Jessica nodded, Hannah was indeed not young anymore, if there was really something she needed help with, it was impossible for her not to speak up and seek help.Despite this, Jessica still called Mona.Early in the morning, Mona had just woken up when she received a call from Jessica. She was quite surprised and said, "Jessica?""It was me."Jessica glanced at Terry, who leaned over to fasten her seatbelt, and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch his short hair.Terry glanced at her with a half-smile, slowly started the car.Jessica told Mona about what happened to Hannah last night, "She drank three cans of beer at once, she must have encountered something."Mona also agreed, "I indeed never saw
This was not what annoyed Hannah the most. What annoyed her the most was that she was standing in front of the doors of the middle elevator, while Foster and the others were on the left side, walking past her as they left.The aisle, which had just appeared spacious, now seemed narrow as Hannah stood in the middle while four or five people passed by together.She was quite spirited, but as soon as she saw someone, she quickly averted her gaze and looked up at the bouncing floors of the elevator in front of her.When the man passed by her from behind, she could smell the familiar scent of cedar.Hannah tightened her grip on the side of her body. Fortunately, soon enough, the elevator arrived and with a "ding," the elevator door quickly opened.Hannah lifted her leg and walked straight in, then turned around and desperately pressed the door close button.She was afraid that if she slowed down any further, she wouldn't be able to resist going up and hitting someone.The elevator went up
It is easier to get things done with acquaintances.Hannah saw that it was someone she knew, and immediately felt relieved.Jessica said that she had thick skin, and she wasn't without reason.Just then, as soon as she took her seat, she immediately struck up a conversation with Joseph, “Didn't the two of you used to skip class and go to the arcade? You haven't forgotten about me, have you?"Joseph smiled as he unwrapped the packaging paper of the straw for her, "I didn't forget."Hannah, in their circle, was also a well-known "celebrity", how could he forget.Hannah took the straw and said thank you, “Did you break up? I remember Kendall said you had a girlfriend! Or is it that your mother doesn't like her? It's okay, just keep going! Love is a rare thing, it's not easy to find in our circle. Once we find it, how can we easily give up?"Hannah was stuck on the road for nearly twenty minutes. The weather in August was hot, and even though the car had the air conditioning on, it felt t
