The two of them took a plane at four ten in the afternoon, and the plane landed in LA at six fifteen.
Jerry had already sent a driver to pick them up. Jessica and Terry got off the plane and went straight outside the airport.
They returned to the city center at exactly 7 o'clock. Fortunately, Jerry had been thoughtful and had already made dinner reservations for them. After finishing dinner, they arrived back at the apartment at 8:30.
Jessica had just come out of the bathroom when she saw Terry sitting on the couch, looking at his phone.
She raised an eyebrow, lifted her leg and walked over, sitting down beside him.
Just as she sat down, her gaze fell upon the "calendar" on the screen of her phone. Jessica thought about what Terry had said in the car, and her heart suddenly started beating faster.
Terry glanced at her and reached out to pull her into his arms, placing the phone in front of her. "Darling, which day in the past few days do you

Jessica saw the message sent by Hannah and she immediately handed it to Terry, who was next to her, cooking beef.Terry only glanced at the screenshot without carefully examining its content. They only read Hannah's line, "Who has such audacity.""What happened?"He felt a bit strange, put the cooked beef into Jessica's bowl, and then took out his phone and opened the screenshot.The screenshot clearly shows that "Mr. Davison, Chairman of Sharp Technology, was recognized by the Sheppard family and suspected of cheating on Ms. Hall," the photo is a picture of him embracing Jayleen in the afternoon.Terry had just finished watching when Hannah's voice message came through.Terry handed the phone back to Jessica and picked up his own phone, saying, "I'll have Jerry take a look."On a beautiful weekend, which shameless person did such a thing to provoke others."Hmm."Jessica raised an eyebrow and opened Hannah's voice messa
"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

Jessica stood at the staircase, neither moving forward nor backward, so she reluctantly called out, "Mom."May saw her daughter and instantly knew what was going on.She glared at Jessica angrily and said, "How old are you? Why are you still..."Why did you do such a childish thing?Can't you let it go after just one night?But this also indirectly indicates that their daughter and future son-in-law had a good relationship."Wake up, wash up, go downstairs to have some breakfast, and then go back to sleep. Skipping breakfast is not good for the stomach."Jessica's face was burning. She was already twenty-eight years old, and she never expected to be caught in such a situation one day.And it wasn't Terry who came to find her, but she who went to Terry's room to sleep."I knew it, Mom. I went to freshen up first!""Go quickly, it's a bit cold today, wear thicker clothes.""I knew, Mom!"Jessica tighte
Terry reacted quickly and immediately embraced her in his arms.Although Jessica didn't say a word, her head instinctively leaned towards his chest, and the hand being held tightened instinctively.However, Jessica soon realized as well.When Hannah was speaking, she wasn't scared, but now, she wants to scare Terry and ends up scaring herself.Oops, the old horse stumbled.Just as I regained consciousness, I heard a deep laughter from a man, "Did I scare you?"Jessica looked up at him, feeling a bit embarrassed. She stepped out of his embrace without answering his question.I turned my gaze away and looked across the pedestrian path, where a cat was crouching under the streetlamp, licking its paws.Obviously, what just flew down was not something strange, but a mischievous cat.Terry also saw the cat, and he made a soft sound of admiration, saying, "It was a cat, and quite cute."He paused for a moment and said, "
The wedding car set off at an auspicious time, and after circling the city area, it arrived at the Herring family's house exactly at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.The Herring family and the Gilbert family had business dealings and were considered to be acquaintances.The Herring family was naturally satisfied with Mona, their daughter-in-law. She came from a good family, had good looks, and was able to earn money herself.The Herring family had many customs, but Layton, in order to take care of Mona, discussed with his parents and skipped many complicated procedures, leaving only the simple custom of serving tea and changing greetings.After the tea ceremony, a group of people set off for the hotel.The wedding banquet started at 7 o'clock in the evening. Mona and Layton had finished serving tea by 5:30.The bride had to hurry to the hotel to change her clothes. She had to welcome the guests at six o'clock, so time was quite tight.Jess
The decoration of Mona's house was quite interesting. The space was separated very well, with the active area and the quiet area completely distinguished.To get out of the room, you had to pass through a small resting area before reaching the restaurant. Jessica immediately spotted Terry on the table in the restaurant.Today, Mona got married, so naturally all the relatives and friends who came couldn't be neglected, and they also brought a lot of food.On the three-meter-long marble dining table, there were many dishes placed, and on the side bar, there were also many light meals.Terry placed a plate of seafood fried rice and a bowl of soup in front of the seat. Jessica walked over, and he pulled a chair beside for her to sit down.As soon as Jessica put down her bag, Terry naturally took it and put it on himself."Did you eat?"Ate.He said, pushing the soup in front of her, "This soup is a bit hot, drink slowly, have a lit
Terry had just finished the meeting when he saw Jessica's message. He frowned and immediately dialed Jessica's phone number.Jessica had just finished reading a project proposal when she saw Terry's call display on her phone. She raised an eyebrow and answered the call with a smile, "Has Mr. Davison finished the meeting?""Did the person leave?""He left."The door was knocked, Jessica looked up and said, "Come in."Wendy pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Jessica on the phone and, being very considerate, quickly put down the documents. "Ms. Hall, this is the proposal for the Greenlake project."Jessica nodded and Wendy turned around and walked out the door."What happened?"Jessica finally asked Terry on the other end of the phone."It's nothing, next time you don't have to pay attention to him, just ignore him. If he shamelessly barges in, then you just make him lose face."Terry said and pushed the doo
The conversation went round and round, and it came back again.Maximo was choked by Jessica again, and the smile on his face couldn't be maintained.He raised his hand, placed it by his mouth, and coughed a few times.Jessica politely asked, "Sir, are you alright?"He shook his head and then glanced at his assistant beside him. Suddenly, Finley took out a box and placed it in front of Jessica. "Ms. Hall, our Mr. Sheppard came today, but it doesn't really mean anything. However, you are after all the granddaughter-in-law of our Sheppard family. This is something that Mrs. Sheppard instructed to be passed on to her granddaughter-in-law before she passed away. The old gentleman came today just to give this to you, which belongs to Ms. Hall."Realizing that Jessica's argument was not making sense, Maximo also gave up and decided to bring out the "heirloom" in order to gain sympathy.If Jessica were just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family,
