Mrs. Hall saw their stealthy interactions and clicked her tongue. "Jess, the issue is not about you alone. Mom and dad don't just uphold justice for you. Don't be confused." Of course, Jessica knew it. She was just worried that they were tired from the flight. Now, it seemed that she was overthinking. Jessica laughed, "I'm not that stupid." May snorted and thought to herself, "If she is not stupid, why did she insist on marrying Lucas?" But Jessica was her daughter, so May could not bear to render her more wretched. "Let's go to the parking lot." Jessica led them to the parking lot. When she opened the door, she found that Morgan was carrying a box. She couldn't help but frown. "Dad, what's that?" "Nothing." Morgan waved his hand and bent down to get in the car following May. Jessica did not ask any more questions. Instead, she said to Wendy, "Wendy, let's go to Thomas' house." Wendy was stunned for a moment but soon reacted. The Morgan couple rushed over in a h
Lucas glanced at Jessica, who was standing by Mrs. Hall's side nonchalantly. Hearing Morgan's words, Rebecca said quickly, "Mr. Hall, Mrs. Hall, let's talk about it inside." Olivia could not help but call out, "Mom!" The Hall family was menacing, and it was obvious that they were here to settle old scores. Olivia glanced at Jessica, but unexpectedly, she met her gaze, which made Olivia stiffen and feel guilty. What the hell! How could she feel guilty while looking at Jessica? Rebecca stared at Olivia and shook her head, suggesting that she shut up. Rebecca was so smart a woman that she couldn't fail to see that Jessica's parents came in a fit of anger. They entered her house. Rebecca asked a servant to prepare coffee, and Morgan immediately rejected. "We don't need coffee, Mrs. Thomas. We came here today for our daughter. Formalities are unnecessary. After all, even if we are not enemies, we are by no means friends later." Morgan's words sounded serious. The two fa
The Thomas family was one of the best among rich families in LA, but it was the first time they had seen so much gold. The box of gold was a bit dazzling under the light. They were all stunned. Justin reacted and was slightly stunned. "Mr. Hall, what do you want to do?" Morgan looked up at Justin and said, "Mr. Thomas, the Hall family has never liked to owe others a debt. Jess married into your family for three years. I think this box of gold is enough to cover her expenses there." He paused for a moment. "We, the Hall family, don't owe you anything until this moment. Now it's time to count how many evil deeds you did to us?" Morgan had been in the business world for many years and had long since developed the ability to look dignified without being furious. He kept a straight face while speaking, but anyone present could hear the anger in his words. Justin's face turned cold when he heard Morgan's words. "Mr. Hall, I don't quite understand what you mean." That was the
Jessica glanced at him and said, "You don't have to be so loud, Lucas. Since we're divorced, I won't argue with you about what happened in the three years of our marriage. Your grandfather said I was talking nonsense. The Thomas family knows very well whether I was talking nonsense or not." "I don't care about what happened in those three years, but my parents are right about the two things that Olivia did. If the Thomas family doesn't give us a satisfactory answer today, no one will have dinner in peace today." Jessica uttered each word clearly. Before she came over, Jessica was calm. However, the Thomas family had gone too far, and they were better at lying than anyone else. Jessica knew that the Thomas family looked down on her when she married into the family as a commoner. What Jessica didn't expect was that Olivia would not let things go after she had divorced Lucas. Jessica just wanted an explanation, and Justin was lying to her face. "I have the evidence that Oli
Morgan had been a businessman for so many years, so he naturally was not a simple person. Morgan thought asking the Thomas family to compensate them with money and then apologizing in private was not a proper punishment. That would not affect the Thomas family at all. But if Olivia were to apologize in public, it would be different. Hadn't she enjoyed bullying Jessica with Trissy in those three years? Morgan remembered everything. He had discussed everything with Mrs. Hall before he came. Morgan added, "By the way, the Thomas family doesn't have to try to compensate our family. After all, in the past two days, we lost our reputation because of Miss Thomas. If we do the math, I'm afraid the Thomas family will think that we are greedy." Morgan's mocking words made the Thomas family embarrassed. Justin stopped talking after hearing Jessica's words. He didn't know what to say. Justin was used to treating Jessica harshly. Now that she had turned against him, he knew that it
Justin looked at Lucas' back and thought of what Morgan had said. He raised his walking stick and knocked on the back of the sofa that Olivia was sitting on. Justin said angrily, "Go and apologize immediately! You can't leave the house until this is solved!" This was the second time Olivia had seen Justin being that angry. When the walking stick came to her, Olivia thought it was going to hit her. Now that she had come back to her senses, Olivia did not dare to say a word and hurriedly went upstairs. At this time, the butler reminded Justin, "Mr. Thomas, dinner is ready." Olivia could not help but stop when she heard this. She raised her hand to touch her stomach and looked pitifully at Rebecca who was not far away. Rebecca saw her daughter's pleading eyes and she had to say, "Dad, there is no hurry. Why don't we have dinner first and then let Olivia..." "Have dinner? Do you still have the mood to eat?" Justin was so angry that he went upstairs after saying that. A
After walking into the box, Bailey surprisingly said to Tony, "Dad, who is that Mr. Hall?" Wasn't Jessica a nobody? But why was her father so polite to Mr. Hall? Tony stopped smiling. "There is only one Hall family in New York. Who else could that Mr. Hall be?" Bailey had guessed this, but she did not believe it. Now hearing Tony's words, she was shocked, her face slightly pale. "How is this possible? How can Jessica's family be the richest one in New York!" If Jessica was Morgan's daughter, it would be ridiculous for Olivia and her to sneer at Jessica. Barley didn't believe it, but what Tony said next completely struck her. "I don't care what happened between you and Jessica, but if you dare to treat Jessica like before, I will suspend all your cards!" "Dad..." Bailey started at Tony with her eyes wide open. Even Mrs. Wade, who usually spoiled her so much, didn't say anything on her side. Mrs. Wade said, "Bailey, be a
Hannah chuckled. "Olivia said sorry to you on Twitter. Now all the socialites in LA are asking you how you became the daughter of Morgan Hall. Just check the picture I sent to you." Olivia was quite fast. But Jessica was driving, so she smiled and said. "I just drove my parents back to the hotel. I'm still driving. Talk to ya later." Olivia's apology surprised Jessica a little. It was too soon. Olivia apologized on Twitter first. After all, the rumor about Jessica finding a sugar daddy started on Twitter. Hannah was right! Olivia's apology was a shock. As the richest family in New York, the Hall family ranked top ten domestically in terms of wealth. It was exceptionally rich! So if Jessica was Morgan's daughter, what did that mean? It meant that Jessica's marriage with Lucas was not to climb up the social ladder. Instead, Lucas's family was not good enough for her. There were only a few rich families in the small upper
On the first day of the new year, there were many people like Jessica and Terry who wanted to stay at home. After Jessica finished washing her face, Terry's phone started ringing.At this moment, Terry also brought in a cup of warm water.He handed her the warm water and then walked over to answer the phone.Jessica sat down in front of the dressing table, took a few sips of warm water, and began to apply skincare products to her face.Terry quickly hung up the phone, walked up behind her, picked up the comb next to her, and helped her comb her hair. "It was the delivery restaurant calling," he said. "They said it's peak hours now, and today is also a holiday, so the food will be ready 15 minutes later than usual, and it will be delivered 30 minutes later. They asked if we still want the meal, and I told them not to deliver it."Jessica was indeed hungry. "So what are we going to eat?""I just checked, there is some noodles in the fridge. Sh
Terry heard the water stop in the bathroom, smirked, and turned to sit down on the nearby sofa.When Jessica pushed open the bathroom door and walked out, she immediately saw Terry sitting on the sofa.He had only loosened the tie on his body without taking it off, and he had undone the first two buttons of his white shirt. The collar of the shirt appeared loose and casual, hanging down on his chest like that.His messy hair fell on his face, with the light casting shadows on his disheveled strands, obscuring his gaze as if blocking the eye contact he could have made.Jessica looked at the tie casually hanging on his collar, her gaze lifted up and landed perfectly on the rolling Adam's apple.Her face flushed, and she quickly averted her gaze. "I have finished washing."Terry raised an eyebrow, sat up straight from the sofa, and leisurely untied his tie, saying, "If you didn't come out soon, I would have thought my darling fainted inside."
May felt a little sorry when she saw it, "Alright, let me and your dad handle the rest, Terry. You and Jessica go home first."Morgan and May gave each other a large apartment in the city center of South town as an engagement gift. Coincidentally, the apartment was located just one kilometer away from the engagement banquet hotel tonight, very close by. Therefore, May had the cleaning lady prepare the apartment in advance, to serve as their new home.Jessica has a good tolerance for alcohol, so even though she drank quite a bit tonight, she didn't get drunk.Upon hearing May's words, she instinctively turned her head towards the other person and said, "Mom, it's getting late. You and Dad should go back first."She finished speaking and wanted to walk over to have someone accompany May and Morgan back.I just stood for a long time tonight. As soon as I lifted my leg, my feet felt weak, and I swayed a bit. Luckily, Terry next to me had quick eyes and
After Jessica lost her memory, she only met May once, who was a member of the Maddox family. At that time, Quinten was away on a business trip and was not with the Maddox family. However, Jessica later saw a photo of Quinten and noticed that he resembled May, so it was not difficult to recognize him.Although only Quinten from the Maddox family came over to avoid suspicion, who is Quinten?Quinten's presence was enough to prove the Maddox family's importance towards Jessica and Terry's engagement banquet.Moreover, the Maddox family only had one niece, Jessica."Jessica, congratulations.""Thank you, Quinten. Please, this way."At half past seven in the evening, most of the important guests for today's banquet had arrived, and Jessica changed into a new dress.This set of dress was also meticulously customized. When she was backstage, the dress didn't look stunning, but as soon as Jessica stepped onto the stage, the dress shone like i
Jessica glanced at him, averted her gaze, and looked towards Wendy beside her, saying, "Give it to me."Wendy nodded and handed her the file.Seeing Chad still looking at Jessica, Wendy couldn't help but furrow her brows.Chad has been having a tough time recently, and the Sheppard family is also going through a lot, with Mr. Davison being involved.Chad looked at Jessica like this, and she was a little worried. Did Chad know about what Mr. Davison did and want to go after Jessica?After experiencing what happened to Julie, Wendy's vigilance is now very strong.It concerns Jessica, she dared not have any negligence again."Ms. Hall."Jessica was looking down at the documents when she heard Wendy calling her from the side. She raised her head and asked, "What's wrong, Wendy?"Wendy glanced at Chad again. Chad had already returned to his seat and didn't look at Jessica anymore."Just now, Mr. Sheppard..."Jes
Jessica thought Terry was just going for a joyride when he said they were going out for a drive, until he led her to the Video Arcade, and then she understood the true meaning of Terry's words "haven't taken her out to play in a long time."She looked at everything shining inside the Video Arcade and felt somewhat surprised, "You... like playing these?"She had completely forgotten about the past events, so she naturally had no idea why Terry had brought her here.Terry smiled and glanced at her, "Hmm, I liked it."He said he liked it, but that "like" didn't seem like an answer to her question, but rather something he said to her.Jessica raised an eyebrow and pretended not to understand his words, she averted her gaze and said, "I didn't expect that, Mr. Davison.""It's not too late to know now."He exchanged the coins and then took her to play everything.The two of them came out of the Video Arcade and it was already past on
The big pot in the kitchen was still warm with hot water. Terry took a basin and filled it with hot water, then carried it back to the room to soak Jessica's feet.Because it rained, not only did the shoes get muddy, but they also got wet from the water.Jessica's socks were all wet, so she took them off and her feet became as cold as ice cubes.Terry held her foot and said, "It's a bit hot, be careful.""Um."Jessica nodded her head and saw him getting up to go out again. "Where are you going?""Take your boots to wash and dry them by the stove."Upon hearing his words, Jessica immediately grabbed him and said, "Stop it for now, aren't your shoes wet too? Let's soak them together."Terry was wearing leather shoes, and those black shoes were already covered in mud.Jessica knew that he had OCD, her gaze fell on his shoes, and her heart felt a little sour.He always seemed to be like this, never speaking up when he
At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang, and Jessica was awakened. She opened her eyes, and the room was still lit. She hadn't slept well all night and had a slight headache.Terry on the side took the phone, turned off the alarm clock, and glanced outside the window, saying, "It's still dark outside.""Um."Jessica responded, "They arrived around seven o'clock."Yesterday, the funeral service personnel communicated with her and said that it would be best to have the burial before eight o'clock, as it is the local custom.Jessica was in charge of these matters for the first time and didn't know anything. The other party was professional, so she naturally listened to them.Since the burial is scheduled before 8 o'clock, they have to arrive before 7 o'clock, and they have to leave before 7:30.She didn't sleep well. Terry looked at the dark circles under her eyes and said, "You go back to sleep, I'll make breakfast."
Morgan and May arrived a little after four in the afternoon, and Jessica and Terry had already tidied up the rooms they had previously stayed in.There are a total of two rooms, one that Jessica used to live in and one on the side of the yard. Four people were just enough to live in.As soon as Morgan and May entered the room, they saw the wooden coffin placed in the middle of the hall and both of them felt a bit nostalgic.Morgan turned fifty this year, the age of destiny, and increasingly felt that he was no longer young. His energy and physical strength were not as good as before.A few months ago, Roberto was still fine, but now he's gone just like that. Morgan looked at the coffin and couldn't help but sigh."Dad, Mom."Jessica also tidied up her mood and handed two cups of hot water to Morgan and May.May glanced at Jessica and said, "Don't be too sad, Jessica."Jessica smiled and said, "I was indeed feeling down this mor
