Jessica collected her thoughts and lifted her leg to walk out of the elevator.
The voices of those men were so loud that the security guards had already come in and stood in front of them, blocking their way.
Wendy stood by the security guard, in a relatively safe position.
Jessica took a look and walked up to the three men, "I am Jessica, which one of you is Roberto's nephew?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a burly man wearing the Golden Chain and a dragon and tiger jacket walked towards Jessica, but he was stopped by the security guard after only a few steps.
Jessica raised her hand, indicating the security guard to loosen his grip.
The man was about to get angry, but he restrained himself and let go of his hand. He had no choice but to continue walking towards Jessica, and stopped in front of her, just half a meter away. "You are the woman my uncle saved last year, right?"
The man from the Golden Chain looked at Jessica, just a
"I, you—"The Golden Chain couldn't make any sense of it and became angry, saying, "I won't waste my time talking nonsense with you. Let these dogs of yours let go of me!"Jessica didn't like hearing such insulting words. She frowned and was about to speak when Wendy said, "Ms. Hall, the police have arrived."Jessica glanced outside and sure enough, there were already two police cars parked outside. The police cars came to a stop, and four police officers got out of the two cars respectively.The Golden Chain and his two companions heard Wendy say that the police had arrived, so they also looked outside the door and saw that it was indeed the police. The three of them panicked and immediately started pushing the security guard.The security guards were also trained, so it wasn't easy for them to be pushed aside.The three men were entangled with the security guard when four police officers came in. One of the officers shouted loudly, "Stop!"
After the incident, Jessica and Terry came out of the police station and it was almost 7 o'clock. Jessica was feeling a bit hungry.It was very cold on the snowy day. Terry led her to the car and let her get in first.The car had been parked outside for over an hour, and the heating had long gone.Terry turned on the heater and asked, "Are we still going out for dinner?""Let's eat, didn't we already reserve a table?"Terry smirked and said, "Okay."The car slowly started, and the inside of the carriage gradually warmed up.Jessica's phone vibrated, and she looked down to see a message from Wendy.She raised an eyebrow, clicked on it to download the email, and then opened it.Wendy's initiative was strong, and in just over an hour, she had researched all the information about "the Golden Chain".The Golden Chain was indeed Roberto's nephew, but Roberto had long severed ties with their family.These days, I
Jessica was stunned for a moment, she had lost her memory and couldn't remember anything.Now, hearing Terry mention the past again, I feel like an unrelated bystander.But she was also a bystander who loved Terry, listening to his casual words, feeling an indescribable sense of oppression in her heart.She pursed her lips and asked, "Why were you able to persist for so many years?"The car stopped as the traffic light turned red. Terry turned to her and looked at her directly, saying, "Maybe I was too stubborn?"He said this with a smile, but Jessica felt a little sour in her heart as she listened, “If you had the chance to do it all over again, would you still be so stubborn?""Yeah, I will."He responded and suddenly reached out to grab her hand, his fingers landing on her middle finger, which was adorned with an engagement ring."But I might not have had that much patience, I might have just eloped."He smiled and to
Morgan said ten minutes, and indeed, in ten minutes, he had finished preparing the remaining two dishes.Four people, Morgan made a soup and eight dishes.When the four of them sat down, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and this lunchtime was a bit late.Jessica got up at seven in the morning and went to the airport with Terry after having breakfast.There were snacks on the plane, but she didn't like to eat them.So until now, Jessica hasn't had anything else to eat except for the bowl of soup she just drank.Outside, it was unknown who set off the fireworks, and occasional sounds could be heard. The New Year was getting closer and closer.Morgan opened a bottle of red wine, and Jessica drank about half a cup.Morgan rarely drank outside, but today, feeling happy, he had two drinks and started talking to Terry about how he had met Brice.Terry occasionally responded with one or two sentences, with Jessi
The two of them walked and stopped, and saw a stall where people were playing games. There were also many curious onlookers in front of the stall, so Jessica and Terry also stopped.Terry touched her hand and didn't feel it was cold before speaking, "Do you want to play?"Jessica shook her head and said, "I have never played this before."The mouth of the pot was so narrow and small, who could throw it in without practice.She was just curious and wanted to see if anyone would play.But obviously, most people don't know how to play, they just want to have some fun and try something new.Jessica looked for a while and wanted to continue walking forward. Suddenly, her feet tightened, and she lowered her head only to realize that a little girl, who had just reached her knees, was hugging her.She quickly pulled Terry's sleeve. Terry lowered his head and saw the little girl. His eyes lit up with curiosity, "Where did you come from?"
The time was already late, and Jessica hadn't taken a bath for long.She had just come out of the bathroom when she saw her bedroom door being pushed open.Jessica paused for a moment and looked at Terry, who was walking in wearing pajamas. "What's wrong?""Go to sleep."He spoke as he walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, lifting the covers and lying down directly.Jessica raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't you afraid my mom will walk in tomorrow?""Auntie should have given you some face."He smiled, with a hint of pride in his eyes.Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "No, you go back to sleep!"Terry looked at her, raising an eyebrow, "So, did you come to my room again in the middle of the night?"Upon hearing her words, her face grew slightly warm. "Who said that? Last time, I was just not accustomed to it.""Well, this time I wasn't used to it."He said, picking up the phone she had plac
Jessica washed her face and felt much more awake. She looked at Terry, who was lying on her bed again, and chuckled, "Terry, are you shameless even in my house?"He did not directly answer her question, "I woke up at six o'clock this morning."Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "Well, you are really impressive."He smiled and reached out to lift her onto the bed, saying, "Weren't you planning to sleep in tomorrow morning?""Yeah."Jessica looked down at him and didn't react for a moment, “What's wrong? Do you want to go to Brice's place?"Even though Terry is not biologically related, he should still go and see Brice."No."He leaned in and kissed her on the face.Jessica had just washed her face, and the water on her face had not completely dried yet. Her face felt cool, but Terry's lips were warm, and his breath was warm too.The heater was on in the room, and she was only wearing a loose sweater when Terry ef
Time passed minute by minute, and the sky outside had long turned dark, but the light in the operating room was still red, and the door to the operating room had not been pushed open.No one knew what was going on with Brice.Jessica could feel the uneasiness in Terry's emotions, and she lifted her other hand to cover his hand, “Terry."Upon hearing her voice, Terry turned his head towards her and said, "I'm fine."He finished speaking and then let go, giving her head a rub.Jessica held his hand tightly and didn't say anything.It was around 7 o'clock in the evening when the door of the emergency room was finally opened. However, it was indeed the doctors and nurses who came out with the surgical consent form, saying, "Who among you is Brice's family member? The patient is currently experiencing severe bleeding and we need someone to sign..."Terry stood up subconsciously, Jessica realized it first and gently pulled him.Benne
Morgan and May were both unaware of the fact that they had obtained their marriage licenses.After Jessica and Terry came out of the City Hall, they went straight back to the Hall Villa. Seeing them return so quickly, May was a little surprised and asked, "Is everything done? Why did you come back so soon?"Jessica glanced at Terry and smiled, "It's done."Terry carefully took out the marriage certificate he had just received from his pocket and placed it in front of May, saying, "Auntie, I just went to get this with Jessica."May didn't react at first, "What did I receive? Let me see!"She had just finished speaking when she saw the word "marriage" on the certificate.Everyone was stunned, but then they quickly realized and shouted in both shock and joy, "Morgan! Come and take a look!"Morgan was looking at the newspaper on the second floor when he heard his wife's call. He thought something had happened, so he quickly dropped the newspaper and ran outside.In his fifties, he was sti
In mid-April, the wedding invitations for Jessica and Terry had already started to be sent out. By the end of the month, everyone in their circle knew about Jessica and Terry's wedding on May 5th.Hannah flew overseas specifically to have a new wedding bed made for Jessica, in order to give her a special gift for her wedding.Jessica and Terry's wedding was on May 5th, which happened to be Jessica's birthday as well. Hannah rushed back before May and planned to meet Jessica in advance to celebrate her birthday.However, as soon as she stepped off the plane, Jessica and Terry got on the plane.Jessica had just gotten off the plane when she received a series of deadly calls from Hannah. She looked at Terry and raised her phone, saying, "Here comes the one who wants to settle the score."She had promised Hannah at the beginning of the month that they would have a birthday party before the wedding. However, a few days ago, Terry suddenly told her that they needed to go back to the South T
"Jessica."Jessica had just left the airport when she saw Terry."When did you arrive?"Terry took a few steps and walked up to her. He took her hand and looked down at Jessica's belly. "Just arrived not long ago, are you hungry?"Jessica shook her head and looked up at him, trying to see something from his face, but she looked for a while and didn't find anything.As for Terry, his gaze shifted downward slightly and he said, "Then let's go to the hospital."He said this statement in the affirmative, not as a question."What did you go to the hospital for?"Jessica knowingly asked, hooking a smile as she looked at him.Terry glanced at her with a half-smile and asked, "What do you think?"Jessica felt her face getting a little hot as he looked at her. She averted her gaze and coughed lightly, saying, "I haven't had a physical examination in a long time either."She said it on purpose, and Terry didn't expose her, he just smiled and led her out of the airport.LA in April loves rain. L
Jessica took out a dry towel from the box and wiped away the rainwater from Terry's body, "So, do you need to improve?"He laughed and said, "Then I will work hard to improve."After saying that, he shifted his gaze and slowly started the car.The black Maybach drove into the rain curtain, Hannah watched, feeling a bit envious, and suddenly she also wanted to fall in love.In late March, the Hall Group was preparing to invest in the acquisition of an old company. The entire acquisition project was being handled by Jessica. Just when she had some free time, Jessica had to start working again.I was busy until mid-April, and the acquisition matters were only settled then.Jessica asked Wendy to book a flight at 3:30. After the dinner party, the two of them went back to the hotel directly.The elevator was empty, and Jessica had just entered when she suddenly heard Wendy call out, "Ms. Hall?"She slightly lifted her head and looked at Wendy, "What's wrong?""Has your period not come for
Hannah immediately raised her head and said, "How old is he? Am I going crazy? I'm attracted to him!"Jessica, however, disagreed, “You have been in frequent contact with him during this period."Hannah pushed her phone aside and said, "Forget it, I relied on him to save me during the blind date!"Upon hearing this, Jessica couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said, "You want him to be a go-between?""What else? Do you think those scumbags would just let me go so easily?"Hannah was indeed greatly affected by blind dates recently. As her aunt, Adair naturally couldn't introduce only bad men to her. However, Hannah herself was extremely averse to blind dates, and whether a person was good or bad made no difference to her.She was unwilling to go, but couldn't escape, so she had to ask Drake for help.Although this method was a bit damaging, the effect was very noticeable.Now Adair is angry and threatens that she will never introduce a boyfriend to her again.Hannah was feeling relax
"Denzel, this is Aunt Jessica."Denzel was a bit shy, so when he saw Jessica and Terry, he hid under Susie.Susie gave him a gentle push, and he glanced at Jessica, saying, "Aunt Jessica."Jessica was about to turn around when she was called. She instinctively looked up and glanced at Terry, her eyebrows raised. She walked over and squatted in front of Denzel, saying, "You're such a good boy. I didn't bring a gift today, but I'll make it up to you next time."Denzel immediately hid behind Susie's arms, and Susie gently patted his head, saying, "Ms. Hall was being polite."Jessica stood up and smiled, "Nice to meet you for the first time."She said, glancing at Lucas beside her, "We won't disturb you anymore, we'll leave first."She walked back to Terry's side and took his hand voluntarily, saying, "Let's go."The sky had already turned dark, and the light from the street lamps illuminated the drizzling rain. However, within just two or three meters, it was already difficult to see peo
"It was you, you did it on purpose!"Hector suddenly realized that perhaps this was Terry's plan all along, Terry wanted to bring down the Sheppard family!Realizing this, Hector looked into Terry's eyes with a hint of fear.Terry's expression on his face, however, did not change much. "That depends on how you interpret it," he said.He said, looking down at the watch on his hand, "You have already wasted ten minutes of my time. If you came to see me today for these two matters, then we have nothing to talk about."After speaking, Terry pressed the intercom next to him and said, "Jerry, come in and escort the guests."Terry had just finished speaking when Jerry entered, calling out Terry's name and immediately walking over to Hector's side. "Mr. Sheppard, please come this way," he said.Hector looked at Terry, his face changing and changing again, as if he wanted to say something. However, Jerry, who was standing beside them, said, "Mr. Sheppard, Mr. Davison has another guest to meet
The Sheppard family had been constantly quarreling for the past few months. The Sheppard Group engaged in a price war with another company in order to seize the market. However, two days ago, it was revealed that a food product under the Sheppard Group had a major safety issue. As a result, the Sheppard Group's stocks plummeted for two consecutive days.Just after the New Year, the Sheppard Group started a massive layoff, wave after wave. Now, the Sheppard Group has fallen into a desperate situation.Maximo was so angry that he went straight to the ICU and didn't wake up until early March.However, Maximo was also nearing his end, and the Sheppard family and the Sheppard Group were in a dire situation. He couldn't accept his fate and sent someone to find Terry. However, the person didn't even get to see Terry and was sent back by Jerry.Maximo saw that it was not working with Terry, so he sent someone to find Jessica.His plan worked well, but Jessica and Terry had already planned it.
As soon as he kissed her, the elevator door opened and Jessica quickly raised her hand and pushed him.Terry leisurely straightened up, a smile in his eyes, as he lowered his head to look at her.Jessica glanced at him, her face feeling a bit flushed.Terry took her hand and nonchalantly exited the elevator.The two young girls standing at the elevator door took a while to react."Is this a movie shoot? That couple looks so good together!""The man looked at the woman sweetly. What kind of drama is this?"The voices of the two were not low. Jessica and Terry had not walked far, and the sound of their discussion could still be heard.Jessica glanced at Terry beside her and said, "Be more careful in public places!"She spoke and lightly tapped him on the body with her hand.Terry took her hand and with a slight force, he embraced her completely.Jessica burst into laughter and said, "What are you doing? So many people are watching!"He smiled and didn't mind at all, "Is it something vul
