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
Hannah snorted. "He settled so much trouble for you before. He probably couldn't sleep last night after knowing that you were Uncle Morgan's daughter." Jessica shrugged. "What does it have to do with me?" "By the way, Mona said she would treat us to lunch this afternoon," Hannah said. Jessica smiled. "Cool." Mona was seldom so generous. They had worked hard to help her get customers, but she had only given them a membership card. It was already past eleven o'clock when they arrived at the restaurant. Jessica saw Lucas and his friends once she got out of her car. Hannah followed Jessica's gaze and saw Lucas. She quickly looked at Jessica and asked, "It's Lucas. Should we go say hello?" Jessica tilted her head and glanced at her. "Why would we?" With that, Jessica directly turned around and walked into the restaurant before Lucas came over. Hari, who was about to come over and say hello, was stunned when he saw Jessica t
Because Morgan and the others were still asleep, Julie had to leave a note on the table in the living room.Afterwards, she took Terry into the mountains.When the two of them were leaving, Lucas was still there. Seeing them leaving, he also followed along.Terry glanced at Jessica and didn't say anything.Julie paused and turned her head to look at Lucas. "Mr. Thomas, I suggest you go back and take care of your company. Although I have lost my memory and don't remember our past, I believe that since we got divorced, I must have had my reasons."She spoke, paused for a moment, and finally glanced at Lucas before bluntly adding, "Persistent pestering, it really lacks the grace of a man."Jessica before her amnesia had said something similar.With just one sentence, she left Lucas speechless.But he knew that Jessica had lost her memory, it was a second chance given to him by fate, even though he felt despicable in doing so.
Julie walked into the backyard and saw the clothes thrown in the trash bin. She glanced at them and then carried the clothes into the bathroom.Julie finished taking a shower and washing her hair before going out. Hannah was sitting at the door of the west wing and when she saw Julie coming out, she got up and tried to cover up the truth, saying, "There are too many mosquitoes over there."She spoke and showed her arm that had been stung.Julie glanced and said, "There were many mosquitoes in the evening, I suggest you wear long sleeves."Their clothes were brought by a woman who drove over after the rain stopped. The woman seemed quite excited when she saw her, her eyes even turned red as she looked at Julie.But Julie couldn't remember anything, so she just nodded her head as a way of greeting.The clothes Wendy brought over were quite thoughtful, as she prepared several sets for each person.Hannah obediently went to change into lo
Terry reacted quickly too. Upon hearing Jessica's words, he closed the box and threw it back into the pit.Julie hurriedly filled the soil back with a shovel. This box of gold, indeed, could not be exposed to light casually!She guessed that there were valuable things hidden inside, otherwise, during the few days she was unconscious and drugged, it couldn't possibly have been dug up by the old man going up the mountain.In the first few days after waking up, Roberto still made her drink medicine.Although Julie didn't have the ability to distinguish medicines, she could clearly recognize the thick ginseng placed in the kitchen.Although it is said that all ginseng nowadays has been cultivated, the one Roberto uses for medicinal purposes is mostly wild, and it grows so long. It must be quite expensive.It should be at least a few thousand, if not tens of thousands.This was just the money for a medicine, and later Roberto also bought h
Hannah saw Terry coming and tactfully left the kitchen.Terry also glanced at Jessica and said, "I just saw a big yellow dog."Julie paused her action of scrubbing the pot and said, "Tsk, you're quite naughty too."Terry looked at her, his eyes twinkling with a smile. He didn't say anything, but Julie somehow understood what he meant from the look in his eyes.She averted her gaze and started heating up the pan.Roberto was very stingy. He didn't give her much money, even though he knew they were going to the market today.Julie had one hundred and fifty dollars in her pocket and wanted to buy everything. But after looking around, she paid eighty dollars for clothes, and she was left with seventy dollars in her hand.Fortunately, things in remote and impoverished areas were cheap. She bought several pounds of pork and pig bones. She originally wanted to buy chicken, but Roberto said there were wild chickens in the mountains. When she
"You have such a bad temper! Who on earth taught you that!"Roberto watched as she took a piece and put it in her mouth. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he huffed and turned around to get the key.Julie saw the key and immediately grabbed it, then handed the watermelon in the bowl to him, saying, "I forgot about the past, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you. Who taught me all these bad thoughts?"After Julie finished speaking, she proudly walked into the main hall with the key in her hand.Roberto was mocked by her for a while again, "You! You quickly go back to your home!"Julie didn't know whether she didn't hear or didn't want to answer his question, so she didn't respond.Roberto watched as she walked into the main hall, "slammed" the door shut, locked it, and then sat on the nearby rocking chair, eating watermelon greedily.Julie took the key to the west wing and was able to tidy up a room for her parents to stay in. At
Roberto lived alone and didn't even have a refrigerator in his house.After Julie bought the watermelon, she had no choice but to tie it inside a wooden barrel and then put it into the well.Before leaving, Julie was worried that the rain would smash the melon. She had already covered the well in advance. The rain was still pouring heavily. Julie held an umbrella and walked to the edge of the well, saying, "It's inside."Terry handed her the umbrella, and she reached out to take it. Then Terry lifted the well cover and saw a rope tied to the well ring next to it. He thought it must be Jessica's tied watermelon, so he put the well cover aside, untied the rope, and pulled it up with force. Soon, Terry pulled up the bucket.The watermelon, weighing over ten kilograms, was tightly bound by Jessica and placed inside the wooden barrel. The barrel was also filled with water, making it weigh over thirty kilograms when lifted.Luckily, Terry had strong arms
Just then, Morgan and a few others happened to walk over, holding umbrellas on the side.Roberto, upon seeing the situation, immediately closed the door again.Julie acted quickly, placing the umbrella aside, stepping inside with one foot, and pushing the door with her other hand. "Old man, I don't care about others, but you're going too far by not letting my parents inside the house, aren't you?""This was my house! I used to let anyone in that I wanted! If I didn't feel like it, I wouldn't even let you in. What's so unreasonable about that?"Roberto hadn't finished speaking when Julie's other hand, which wasn't blocking the door, suddenly pinched his cheek.Roberto immediately jumped and let go of Julie's hand, slapping it lightly. "What are you doing? As a girl, why would you touch someone without permission?"Julie took advantage of him loosening his grip and pushed the door open, laughing, "You talk so tough, I've always been curious if
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Julie, having nothing to do, took out a chessboard and played chess with Roberto."Old man, your chess skills are too poor. How many times have you regretted your moves?"Roberto felt no shame at all. "You, girl, don't you understand the importance of respecting the elderly and caring for the young? I am of an advanced age; can't you give in to me?""No, I won't. In chess, there is no distinction between big and small. If I can't win, I will admit defeat. Besides, I won't laugh at you. How can you still have the audacity to ask me to let you win?"The rain in August was like someone pouring water from the sky, pouring down heavily. The rain hit the eaves with a "pitter-patter" sound, and the courtyard was filled with misty rain. Occasionally, there would be arguments between an old and a young person inside the house.When the knocking sound came, Roberto's face immediately fell. "It's for you, go open the
Lucas looked at the woman in front of him, even though she was wearing the simplest and plainest clothes, her eyebrows, eyes, and temperament clearly belonged to Jessica without a doubt.He was somewhat incredulous when he heard her call out his name as soon as she opened her mouth, "You, remember me?"Some people lost their memory, but they didn't forget everything. They would remember certain people and certain things.Jessica remembered him too, didn't she?This speculation made Lucas' heart surge with excitement, but the next second, Jessica's words shattered his fantasy. "I don't remember, I have amnesia, I don't remember anything."Upon hearing her words, the brightness in the golden eyes dimmed significantly. "How do you know what my name is?""The Thomas family, Lucas; the Thomas family, Olivia, is it difficult to find online?"After meeting Olivia at the market, before she came back, I had already searched Olivia on Baidu at
