Jessica glanced at him, averted her gaze, and looked towards Wendy beside her, saying, "Give it to me."
Wendy nodded and handed her the file.
Seeing Chad still looking at Jessica, Wendy couldn't help but furrow her brows.
Chad has been having a tough time recently, and the Sheppard family is also going through a lot, with Mr. Davison being involved.
Chad looked at Jessica like this, and she was a little worried. Did Chad know about what Mr. Davison did and want to go after Jessica?
After experiencing what happened to Julie, Wendy's vigilance is now very strong.
It concerns Jessica, she dared not have any negligence again.
"Ms. Hall."
Jessica was looking down at the documents when she heard Wendy calling her from the side. She raised her head and asked, "What's wrong, Wendy?"
Wendy glanced at Chad again. Chad had already returned to his seat and didn't look at Jessica anymore.
"Just now, Mr. Sheppard..."

After Jessica lost her memory, she only met May once, who was a member of the Maddox family. At that time, Quinten was away on a business trip and was not with the Maddox family. However, Jessica later saw a photo of Quinten and noticed that he resembled May, so it was not difficult to recognize him.Although only Quinten from the Maddox family came over to avoid suspicion, who is Quinten?Quinten's presence was enough to prove the Maddox family's importance towards Jessica and Terry's engagement banquet.Moreover, the Maddox family only had one niece, Jessica."Jessica, congratulations.""Thank you, Quinten. Please, this way."At half past seven in the evening, most of the important guests for today's banquet had arrived, and Jessica changed into a new dress.This set of dress was also meticulously customized. When she was backstage, the dress didn't look stunning, but as soon as Jessica stepped onto the stage, the dress shone like i
May felt a little sorry when she saw it, "Alright, let me and your dad handle the rest, Terry. You and Jessica go home first."Morgan and May gave each other a large apartment in the city center of South town as an engagement gift. Coincidentally, the apartment was located just one kilometer away from the engagement banquet hotel tonight, very close by. Therefore, May had the cleaning lady prepare the apartment in advance, to serve as their new home.Jessica has a good tolerance for alcohol, so even though she drank quite a bit tonight, she didn't get drunk.Upon hearing May's words, she instinctively turned her head towards the other person and said, "Mom, it's getting late. You and Dad should go back first."She finished speaking and wanted to walk over to have someone accompany May and Morgan back.I just stood for a long time tonight. As soon as I lifted my leg, my feet felt weak, and I swayed a bit. Luckily, Terry next to me had quick eyes and
Terry heard the water stop in the bathroom, smirked, and turned to sit down on the nearby sofa.When Jessica pushed open the bathroom door and walked out, she immediately saw Terry sitting on the sofa.He had only loosened the tie on his body without taking it off, and he had undone the first two buttons of his white shirt. The collar of the shirt appeared loose and casual, hanging down on his chest like that.His messy hair fell on his face, with the light casting shadows on his disheveled strands, obscuring his gaze as if blocking the eye contact he could have made.Jessica looked at the tie casually hanging on his collar, her gaze lifted up and landed perfectly on the rolling Adam's apple.Her face flushed, and she quickly averted her gaze. "I have finished washing."Terry raised an eyebrow, sat up straight from the sofa, and leisurely untied his tie, saying, "If you didn't come out soon, I would have thought my darling fainted inside."
On the first day of the new year, there were many people like Jessica and Terry who wanted to stay at home. After Jessica finished washing her face, Terry's phone started ringing.At this moment, Terry also brought in a cup of warm water.He handed her the warm water and then walked over to answer the phone.Jessica sat down in front of the dressing table, took a few sips of warm water, and began to apply skincare products to her face.Terry quickly hung up the phone, walked up behind her, picked up the comb next to her, and helped her comb her hair. "It was the delivery restaurant calling," he said. "They said it's peak hours now, and today is also a holiday, so the food will be ready 15 minutes later than usual, and it will be delivered 30 minutes later. They asked if we still want the meal, and I told them not to deliver it."Jessica was indeed hungry. "So what are we going to eat?""I just checked, there is some noodles in the fridge. Sh
"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

Jessica thought Terry was just going for a joyride when he said they were going out for a drive, until he led her to the Video Arcade, and then she understood the true meaning of Terry's words "haven't taken her out to play in a long time."She looked at everything shining inside the Video Arcade and felt somewhat surprised, "You... like playing these?"She had completely forgotten about the past events, so she naturally had no idea why Terry had brought her here.Terry smiled and glanced at her, "Hmm, I liked it."He said he liked it, but that "like" didn't seem like an answer to her question, but rather something he said to her.Jessica raised an eyebrow and pretended not to understand his words, she averted her gaze and said, "I didn't expect that, Mr. Davison.""It's not too late to know now."He exchanged the coins and then took her to play everything.The two of them came out of the Video Arcade and it was already past on
The big pot in the kitchen was still warm with hot water. Terry took a basin and filled it with hot water, then carried it back to the room to soak Jessica's feet.Because it rained, not only did the shoes get muddy, but they also got wet from the water.Jessica's socks were all wet, so she took them off and her feet became as cold as ice cubes.Terry held her foot and said, "It's a bit hot, be careful.""Um."Jessica nodded her head and saw him getting up to go out again. "Where are you going?""Take your boots to wash and dry them by the stove."Upon hearing his words, Jessica immediately grabbed him and said, "Stop it for now, aren't your shoes wet too? Let's soak them together."Terry was wearing leather shoes, and those black shoes were already covered in mud.Jessica knew that he had OCD, her gaze fell on his shoes, and her heart felt a little sour.He always seemed to be like this, never speaking up when he
At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang, and Jessica was awakened. She opened her eyes, and the room was still lit. She hadn't slept well all night and had a slight headache.Terry on the side took the phone, turned off the alarm clock, and glanced outside the window, saying, "It's still dark outside.""Um."Jessica responded, "They arrived around seven o'clock."Yesterday, the funeral service personnel communicated with her and said that it would be best to have the burial before eight o'clock, as it is the local custom.Jessica was in charge of these matters for the first time and didn't know anything. The other party was professional, so she naturally listened to them.Since the burial is scheduled before 8 o'clock, they have to arrive before 7 o'clock, and they have to leave before 7:30.She didn't sleep well. Terry looked at the dark circles under her eyes and said, "You go back to sleep, I'll make breakfast."
Morgan and May arrived a little after four in the afternoon, and Jessica and Terry had already tidied up the rooms they had previously stayed in.There are a total of two rooms, one that Jessica used to live in and one on the side of the yard. Four people were just enough to live in.As soon as Morgan and May entered the room, they saw the wooden coffin placed in the middle of the hall and both of them felt a bit nostalgic.Morgan turned fifty this year, the age of destiny, and increasingly felt that he was no longer young. His energy and physical strength were not as good as before.A few months ago, Roberto was still fine, but now he's gone just like that. Morgan looked at the coffin and couldn't help but sigh."Dad, Mom."Jessica also tidied up her mood and handed two cups of hot water to Morgan and May.May glanced at Jessica and said, "Don't be too sad, Jessica."Jessica smiled and said, "I was indeed feeling down this mor
