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
"Trissy, please don't send any messages to Lucas late at night. He's my husband." Trissy was Lucas' first love, but she had married Lucas' elder brother, Max. Since Max died, Trissy had been pestering Lucas all the time. That troubled Jessica a lot, so she had to talk to Trissy in person. "Only legally. He is in love with ME. But you don't have to worry. I will make him leave you." Trissy sneered, not taking what Jessica said seriously. Today was the dinner for the announcement of the new CEO of the Thomas Group, the most famous enterprise in LA, to take over the affairs of the group. Justin Thomas, the original CEO, Lucas' grandfather, announced that the new CEO is Lucas in front of the entire upper—class circle in LA. Suddenly, the banquet was interrupted by some servants out in the garden. "Help! Help! Jessica and Trissy fell down the stairs!" People hurried to the garden. Before everyone else could react, Lucas had already picked up Trissy, who was unconscious on
"Jessica, get up now. The shards are all over you." After Justin left, Rebecca, Lucas' mother, hurried over, trying to help Jessica up. "Mom, wait." Lucas reached out to stop Rebecca. He then looked down at Jessica and asked, "Did you hear what Grandpa just said? Do you know what you have done wrong now?" "Lucas, I think I've made it very clear. I didn't push Trissy. I did nothing wrong." Although Jessica was trembling with cold, she looked at Lucas firmly. She wouldn't give in. "Then from today you don't live in Thomas house, people like you don't deserve to be in the same house as us!" Lucas nodded at the butler, beckoning him to come over and take Jessica away. Rebecca shook her head in disagreement and said to Lucas, "Jessica is your wife. How can you treat her like that?" "Such a vicious woman can't be my wife," Lucas replied coldly. Jessica suddenly felt a shooting pain in her heart. Originally, she planned to show Lucas the evidence so that Lucas would know he h
When Jessica woke up, it was already the next morning. She had a French feast with Hannah yesterday evening, and then had some drinks and danced the whole night. They got home early in the morning. Jessica felt as if she had been crushed by a car after a hangover. She felt weak and sore. Hanna walked into Jessica's room with a glass of milk and handed it to her. "The news on the Internet spreads fast." "Really? Where is my phone?" Jessica took a sip of milk and took over her phone, handed over by Hannah. Jessica logged in to Twitter and started swiping. The top of the trending topics was about Jessica pushing Trissy downstairs at Justin's annoucement banquet. Jessica swiped her phone and read the comments casually. Almost all were scolding Jessica for being vicious. And some people exposed Jessica's ordinary background, saying Jessica was not worthy of a rich person like Lucas. Some even assumed that Jessica might have played some tricks to marry into such a wealthy family.
Jessica suddenly cried, making Hannah, who was beside her, feel sad. They had been friends since they were little. For so many years, Jessica had always been a smart and noble young princess. Hannah had never seen Jessica being ill—treated like now. It was all Lucas Thomas' fault! A few minutes later, Jessica gradually calmed down. She took the tissue and wiped her tears. She took out a mirror to fix her makeup. Jessica quickly adjusted her mood and turned to look at Hannah. She asked, "Hannah, I heard that your cousin knows reporters from the Los Angeles Times? Is he interested in an exclusive report?" "No problem, I will call my cousin Eden right now." Hannah froze for a moment and then figured out what Jessica planned to do. Hannah then took out her phone. Jessica nodded and looked out through the window. After three years, Jessica finally accepted the fact that she could not replace Trissy in Lucas' heart. She lost. However, Jessica would not let the Thomas family
When Jessica returned to Hannah's place, Hannah had already cleaned up the house. Hannah was putting the fried steak onto a plate, and the red wine was on the table as well. "Welcome back!" Hannah looked at Jessica excitedly. "Let's have a lavish meal today and hang out tonight." Jessica sat down in front of the table and smiled at Hannah. "No, I'm leaving LA tonight." Three years ago, for the sake of Lucas, Jessica had left New York, where her parents lived. Now that Lucas and Jessica were done, she didn't want to stay in LA anymore. However, before leaving, she had to send the divorce gift she had prepared, so she said to Hannah, "You can get someone to send out the audios I sent you." Hannah said excitedly, "No problem, I've been waiting for you to say that. Wait for me, I'll make a call now. Let's go back to New York together tonight!" "Aren't you having fun here with Mona?" Jessica asked, surprised to hear her say that. "I haven't been back to New York in years,
Lucas stared at his phone. His face turned grim when he saw who was calling him. Lucas paused a bit before he pressed the answer button and said, "Grandpa." "Did Jessica post that video online? Where is she now? Tell her to delete the video and take her home!" Justin's deep voice was filled with anger. "I see, Grandpa." Lucas hung up the phone and dialed Jessica's number. A cold system message came from the phone. "Please leave your message after the beep." Thomas Group's stock price had been falling ever since the scandal of Trissy and Thomas family was posted online. Justin's blood pressure rose out of anger, but Lucas could not reach Jessica at all. Lucas could only go home by himself to face Justin's fury. "Where's Jessica Thomas?" Justin asked loudly when he saw Lucas coming alone. "Grandpa, I divorced Jessica already, so she's not Jessica Thomas anymore," Lucas said with a frown. "I don't care if you've divorced or not. The company's stock price is dropping rapidly
Three months later, in Sheraton Los Angeles San Gabriel Hotel. Jessica and her secretary Wendy had just taken their seats when they heard someone call out behind them, "Mr. Thomas." There were not many Mr. Thomases who were qualified to attend this business banquet in Los Angeles. Jessica subconsciously looked back. As expected, the person who came was Jessica's ex—husband, Lucas Thomas. What an unsurprising acquaintance! Wendy, sitting next to Jessica, stood up and greeted Lucas politely, "Mr. Thomas, this is Jessica Hall, general manager of the Hall Group." "Mr. Thomas, I've long been looking forward to meeting you." Jessica smiled and extended her hand toward Lucas. Lucas fixed his eyes on Jessica. She seemed to have become someone else. She looked vibrant. Her wavy chestnut hair, which used to be blond, was worn down on her shoulders. With a faint smile and a pleasant voice, Jessica looked polite and decent. She looked at Lucas as if she didn't know him at all.
This is the first time that Olivia suffered a loss. It was she who bullied Jessica all the time. Today Jessica actually slapped, so she ran to Justin as soon as she returned to the Thomas family's villa to complain. But Olivia was slapped by Jessica this time. So, as soon as Olivia returned to Thomas villa, she ran to Justin and complained. When Justin heard that Jessica had come back to LA, he was filled with fury again. Justin immediately called Lucas and asked him to bring Jessica over the next day so that she could kneel and apologize. "Grandpa, we are divorced." Lucas said calmly. "So what? She released the video. If we call the police, she will be thrown into prison!" Justin coughed as he spoke. "The police won't arrest her, because what she posted was exactly what had happened." Lucas was a little impatient. Justin froze for a moment. When Justin came to his senses, Lucas had already hung up. Lucas threw his phone on the sofa and lit a cigar. Three months
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.

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
