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
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.
"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.
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.

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.

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
