Terry took the letter, opened it, and inside there were several pages filled with writing.
Over the years, Cordell endured humiliation and carried heavy burdens, all the while holding a deep affection for Jayleen, his only daughter.
The Valdez family being investigated for smuggling antiques happened over thirty years ago, before Jayleen was even born.
But Cordell, as the only son of the Valdez family, knew something was wrong when the Valdez family had an accident and his sister mysteriously disappeared, even though he was a playboy.
Although Cordell did not publicly condemn the Sheppard family at the time, he did direct the blame for the Valdez family's incident towards them.
So, after the Valdez family had an accident, Cordell would frequently turn to Maximo for help, reaching out for money, causing Maximo to let his guard down and secretly investigate the antique smuggling incident that happened years ago.
However, Maximo was a very caut
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
Jessica was kissed by him and felt dazed. As she was pinned down on the sofa, Terry mischievously asked, "Shall we not go to the room then, Ms. Hall? What if your fiancé comes back?"Jessica didn't expect Terry to get so into character when acting, and of course, it was quite thrilling to see him "kneel" like that.He dared not return to the room, for fear of being caught, so he took her into the living room.The sofa became the main venue, but Terry was not satisfied with just lying on the sofa. He lifted her up and had her lie on one side of the sofa armrest, while he hugged her from behind.She was trapped in his arms, with a cold sofa in front of her and his burning chest behind her. Jessica felt like she was going to be crashed into that sofa with every move.The originally cold living room gradually heated up, and when Jessica was carried into the room, her legs were trembling a little.She stood under the showerhead, her feet f
Finally, Jessica called Morgan and May to inform them about the date she and Terry had agreed upon to get married.There is naturally more preparation for marriage than for engagement. Since the date has been agreed upon, it is good to inform the parents early and start preparing early as well.Terry acted faster. She had just called Morgan May the day before to discuss the wedding, and the next day she had already arranged for Jerry to contact a wedding photography studio.It rained for two days over the weekend, and it continued to rain all day on Monday.Jessica hurriedly left the office and forgot to bring an umbrella. She walked out of the elevator and reached the entrance of the building, only to realize that it was raining heavily outside.Just as she was thinking about what to do, Terry got out of the car and walked over with an umbrella.The weather these days was not very good. The weather was gloomy, and the temperature was still
Getting married involves more things and is also more complicated than getting engaged.After finalizing the date for the wedding photoshoot, preparations were made for the wedding dress and the attire for toasting.The Hall family was not an ordinary family. When Jessica got married, her wedding dress and the formal attire for toasting were naturally not something that could be chosen casually.A few days ago, I just picked out the wedding gown for the photoshoot. Today, the wedding dress designer that Jerry contacted has also returned from another city.Jessica wanted to surprise Terry on their wedding day, so she didn't plan to let Terry know about the style of her wedding dress.The designer went directly to the Hall Group to communicate with Jessica. Jessica had just finished a meeting when Wendy informed her that the designer was already waiting in the meeting room."Okay, I got it. Help me prepare some refreshments, Wendy.""Ok
Jessica and Terry left in the morning around seven o'clock and it was already eleven o'clock when they arrived at the resort by driving themselves.The hotel had been booked by Jerry in advance, and after the two of them checked in at the front desk, they went straight back to their room.On the first floor, there was a large room with a garden of over 30 square meters outside. Outside the garden, there was an almost 5 square meter hot spring pool. On rainy days, looking out from the windows, the hot spring pool outside was shrouded in mist.Jessica looked at the hot spring pool and raised an eyebrow, "Jerry really booked a nice room."Terry came over with hot water and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"Jessica averted her gaze and glanced at him, saying, "Didn't you say the roasted chicken here is delicious? Why not give it a try?"Jessica didn't have much interest in food, which is why Hannah knew she wanted to come over here to
Jessica and Terry were not gossiping people. They had no interest in who Heidy was with or what she wanted to do.However, Wilson was the chairman of Rock Group. The Hall Group and Rock Group have always had a collaboration, and Jessica recently had dinner with Wilson to discuss cooperation.When Terry was managing the Davison Group, he had also come into contact with Wilson a few times, so they knew Wilson to some extent.Wilson is almost fifty this year. His eldest daughter just finished the college entrance examination last year, and his second son will take the high school entrance examination this year. Everyone in the mall knows that Mrs. Lambert keeps a tight rein on Wilson. Whenever Wilson goes out for social events, Mrs. Lambert's phone calls can come in one after another within an hour.But even so, Wilson remained respectful and dare not show the slightest impatience.So over the years, Wilson didn't cause any particularly scandalous inc
Terry still looked up at her, as if he didn't understand her meaning at all.Jessica felt embarrassed by his gaze and couldn't help but push him again, saying, "Let go quickly.""Stay a little longer."He said as he tightened his hand around her waist, Jessica was thrown towards him.Jessica froze for a moment, too afraid to move.She lay on Terry for a while, seeing that he still didn't let go and she stopped struggling. She let out a soft hum, turned her head slightly, and leaned on his shoulder.The wind blew in with rain, and Jessica's cheeks felt a bit cold.The mist rose from the hot spring pool, and through the lingering mist, the scenery in the courtyard appeared somewhat blurry.The hot spring cannot be soaked for too long. Jessica felt a little thirsty after soaking for more than ten minutes.She moved a bit and said, "Thirsty."Terry glanced at her and poured her a glass of water.Jessica took th
Although Jessica did not approve of Heidy's actions, she also had no positive feelings towards Heidy as a person.But she didn't like to interfere in other people's private affairs. Moreover, doing such a thing like cheating on someone is bound to be exposed sooner or later. After all, LA is not that big, and she won't be the only one caught. Heidy is destined to have a downfall.Jessica was more concerned about a project in Victorville than this.The Victorville project has always been Jessica's responsibility. When Jessica had an accident, Julie took over and Wendy mainly supervised the project. Now that Jessica has returned to the Hall Group, naturally this project will be handed back to her.The project went wrong, and Jessica, as the main person in charge, naturally had to go and see what exactly happened.Victorville is not far from LA, but it is also not close. Jessica went to Victorville that day.She went on a business trip suddenly
Hannah rarely had insomnia, and she didn't fall asleep until almost 2 o'clock in the morning after lying down around ten o'clock.The next day, before six o'clock, Georgia woke me up. Her eyes couldn't open, and she kept yawning as she opened the door.Georgia was very puzzled when she saw her like this, "I let you go to bed before ten o'clock last night, why are you still so tired?"Hannah raised her hand and yawned, feeling guilty: "I went to bed after 11 o'clock, and I even woke up in the middle."Georgia sighed and said, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth, the makeup artist has arrived."Hannah was pushed into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror for a while before she started washing her face and brushing her teeth.Cold water splashed onto her face, and after coming out of the bathroom, she felt much more awake, but the drowsiness was still irresistible.The makeup artist and cameraman had arrived, and they were ju
After saying that, Hannah only realized that her words were a bit straightforward.Her face grew hot and she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Shall we go to the cemetery this afternoon?"Kendall looked at her for a while before speaking, "Okay."Hannah was pregnant, so naturally she had to tell Gemma.If it had been discovered earlier, Gemma might have known about Hannah's pregnancy.But in this world, many things do not have "ifs". Some things just cannot be perfect.After the two of them had lunch at the Howell family, Hannah took a nap and then they left around two o'clock to go to the bridal shop to have the size altered.Afterwards, Hannah went to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of peonies, and she went to Western Cemetery with Kendall.After Gemma passed away, Kendall's grandfather had originally planned to take her back to their hometown for burial, considering that Gemma had spent her whole life trapped within
Hannah was held by him for a while and felt a bit hot. Unable to resist, she pushed him lightly and said, "It's a bit hot."Upon hearing her words, Kendall placed her back on the bed and asked, "Did you tell Jaylen and them?"Hannah shook her head and said, "No, you're the dad, so of course I have to tell you first."She said, pausing for a moment, "I will tell them at dinner tonight.""Okay."Kendall looked down at her belly, but this month she didn't show at all, and there was nothing to see.He looked for a while and then said, "Go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."Hannah thought the same way, she didn't even know how long she had been pregnant.If we count from the last menstrual period, she has been pregnant for at least two months.In the past two months, she didn't feel anything at all.Hannah nodded and suddenly felt a bit tired, opening her mouth and yawning.Seeing her like this, Kendall g
Kendall glanced at her sideways and said, "Isn't it obvious?"Hannah, of course, knew that he was looking at her, but she just wanted to ask and confirm."This photographer was quite good at taking photos."Kendall's gaze was quite affectionate.She looked at the photo for a while again, and then happily put it down and looked at other photos.However, there was only one photo that was captured so well, the rest were mostly intentionally posed and the outcome was good.Hannah had been flipping through hundreds of photos for over three hours when Kendall finally took the album from her hands and forcefully carried her away, saying, "Go take a shower, if you don't shower now, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow."Hannah hooked her arm around his neck, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him. "Don't you like the photo? Why aren't you looking at it?""There was plenty of time to take a slow look later."Hannah clicked her ton
Hannah was really happy today. The news of Gemma's passing had been affecting her and Kendall's mood these past few days.When I returned to the company today, I learned that we had signed such a big project. Naturally, everyone was happy no matter who it was.During the dinner, Hannah drank a bottle of beer and couldn't drive back home, so she had to ask Kendall to come and pick her up.More than two months ago, she and Kendall announced their marriage by sending out wedding candies, and everyone knew about the wedding.However, many people in the company had never seen what Kendall looked like. After the dinner, they all gossiped and stood on the roadside, waiting for someone to show up.Hannah rarely felt embarrassed, "Why don't you go back? It's already late, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow.""Ms. Howell, rest assured, I set more than ten alarms. It was absolutely impossible for me to be late for work!""Was Ms. Howell worri
Hannah and Kendall returned to the villa late in the evening, feeling hungry and impatient as the takeaway they had ordered in advance had not arrived yet. They also got wet when they rushed inside."Go take a shower first."Kendall handed her a cup of warm water and gestured for her to go upstairs.The rain was pouring heavily, and it was still pitter-pattering down at the moment. Hannah also felt a bit cold.She drank a few sips of water, then she put down the cup and went upstairs to change clothes and take a shower.Hannah was both hungry and cold, so she took a hot shower and then went downstairs.Kendall just came in with an umbrella, carrying takeout. "You go ahead and eat, I'll go upstairs and change into a fresh set of clothes."Hannah walked over to the dining table and sat down, watching him take out and arrange everything.Kendall placed the chicken soup in front of her, "Drink the soup first, so it doesn't get cold
Foster originally thought that his memory would never fully recover for the rest of his life, but a car accident in the third year after immigrating made him go through the gates of death again, but also returned all of his lost memories.Samuel was taken aback for a moment when he saw the look in her eyes and said, "Don't tell me you've lost your memory again."There were many wounds on his body. Foster tried to get up, but he found himself very heavy.Upon seeing the situation, Samuel also became afraid and quickly spoke, "Don't move, we finally got out of the ICU, don't go back again."Foster did not move anymore, he turned his head and looked outside the window of the ward.The weather today was very nice, just like the day eight years ago when he left.That day, he left carrying a family grudge, thinking that Hannah was just an accident.Eight years later, their revenge had been avenged, and Hannah had long since married.
On the day of Gemma's seventh birthday, Hannah and Kendall went to the park and set up a tent. They invited Georgia and brought a small grill. The three of them had a pleasant afternoon.Georgia also realized at that time that Gemma had actually been looking forward to going camping with them in a couple of days when she left.Today, we went camping, which fulfilled Gemma's unfinished wish.Gemma left, and the rest of the people had to continue living their lives.Kendall had originally taken a vacation for over a month, intending to return to the company only after the two of them got married and officially ended their leave.Now Gemma couldn't wait for his and Hannah's wedding, so he left. There was still nearly a month left, and Kendall asked Hannah to stay with Georgia on the South side for a while, as he was going abroad.He went abroad to meet the senior executives of the Harrington Group, who had been overseas all along. After that, h
After the cremation was completed, the staff asked Kendall to pick up the bones.Without waiting for Kendall to speak, she immediately refused.She couldn't understand this twisted "service". The loss of a loved one is already enough to make people feel desperate and miserable, and after cremation, they actually make people go and pick up the bones.Even though it was just symbolically picking one or two, it still remained incomprehensible.This was simply cruel and incomprehensible.The people in charge of the cemetery burial had already made arrangements. After leaving the funeral home, the group followed the car to the cemetery.The location of Gemma's grave was very good, and the photo on the tombstone showed her in her thirties, looking young, elegant, and beautiful.The urn was placed inside, the tomb was buried, and everything came to a complete end here.Hannah looked up at the distant sky with red eyes.The weat
