Looking at the gossip headlines that Hannah had sent her, Jessica felt it was ironic.
The headline said, "Old flame over new sweetheart." She was never Lucas' old flame. Hannah was so angry that she trembled. She could not help but curse, "Eden said that almost half of the paparazzi in LA have arrived at your apartment. You'd better not go out today. Lucas is really a son of a bitch!" Hearing Hannah's words, Jessica frowned slightly. She got up and walked to the French window, pulling open the curtains to look downstairs. However, she lived in a high place, so she couldn't see downstairs clearly. Hannah scolded Lucas for a while. After a pause, she suddenly asked, "Jessica, Trissy has returned to America. I heard that she also stayed in that hotel. I suspect that Lucas' new lover is Trissy!" Jessica chuckled when she heard this. "Even if it's not Trissy, can't we do something?" Hannah was stunned for a moment. Then, she suddeJustin glared at Olivia. "It's all because of you, we have offended the Hall family! Apologize to Jessica now!" "Grandfather, I have already sent an apology online!" "Will you apologize to Jessica or not?" Olivia's face turned pale. She did not dare to refute. "Yes." The more Justin thought about it, the angrier he became, so he asked Olivia to get away. Early in the morning, Thomas' house was filled with resentment and anger. When Jessica returned to the apartment from the supermarket, the gossip on Twitter had completely disappeared, and there was nothing left when she searched about Lucas. Obviously, Lucas had found someone to remove the news. Hannah wanted Eden to continue spreading the news, but Jessica didn't want to bother Eden, so she refused. "No need." Sometimes, something being concealed would attract more suspects. Hannah was puzzled. "Why?" Jessica raised her eyebrows. "Don't you think that i
Hari finally drove away. Hearing the sound of a car engine from downstairs, Lucas, who was sitting on the sofa, slowly opened his eyes. Hari had finally left, so nobody would disturb him anymore. Yet Hari's question still lingered on in Lucas' mind. How came Lucas went to Jessica's apartment? Even Lucas himself had no idea. Last night, Luna had a high fever. Lucas went over and stayed until midnight when her fever was gone. Lucas then drove his car back to the Thomas villa. Yet somehow he headed for Jessica's apartment and stopped there. Jessica's apartment was near the road in the downtown area. It was past 2 a.m. Lucas pulled up his car on the roadside. When he looked up, he saw the apartment building where Jessica lived. Lucas knew that Jessica liked him not long after they got married. Lucas actually never thought of divorcing Jessica so quickly. It was probably because Jessica made a satisfying Mrs. Thomas. Though
Sitting in the meeting room, Jessica found it interesting to hear Megan keep praising her. It took Megan twenty years to get to his current position. And he had spent years being a dictator in the branch in LA. Usually, Megan was the one others praised. Thus, Megan didn't have much to say when he had to praise Jessica. Megan couldn't speak to Jessica as her higher—up. After all, Jessica obviously had a better position than Megan. However, Megan was used to being the boss. He didn't know how to say nice stuff to Jessica like a subordinate. Jessica sat there, looking at Megan with a faint smile. "Thank you, Mr. Bell." Jessica's words made Megan feel insulted. The morning meeting ended in an awkward atmosphere. Jessica still had another small—scale meeting at eleven o'clock. It would be about the Spring Valley Village. Although it was a small—scale meeting, the project was revised. Thus, it took quite some time for th
Olivia handed over several bags of things. "I came to apologize to you. I was too irrational because of my young age. Please don't take what I have done seriously." Young? If Jessica remembered correctly, Olivia was about the same age as her. When Jessica heard that, she suddenly chuckled, "If I remember correctly, your birthday falls in February, while mine falls in September." Jessica was even younger than Olivia by half a year. Olivia paused. She did not get Jessica's point at first. By the time she came back to her senses, Jessica and Wendy had already sat in the car. The two got into the car, and before Jessica could speak, Wendy had already told the driver to start the car. The car slowly drove past Olivia. Olivia stood there and stomped her foot angrily. "Jessica! How dare you say that I'm old!" Jessica looked at Olivia in the rearview mirror and smiled with joy. Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped at
Trissy paused when she heard Jessica. "I'm done. What..." "You're right. Lucas and I have already divorced. I don't care about his affairs at all. Miss Cheek, I don't think you should say all these to me. Perhaps those two ladies at the reception desk are better listeners." Trissy had suppressed Jessica for so many years in the Thomas family. In the past, Jessica's face turned grim every time Trissy mentioned Lucas, yet this time, Jessica didn't seem to care. She even teased Trissy. Trissy looked at Jessica and her face froze. But soon, Trissy recovered and looked at Jessica for a while. "You're much tougher than before, Jessica." At this time, the elevator door not far away opened. Trissy looked up and her gaze fell back on Jessica. Trissy showed a smug look and said, "Do you think Lucas will believe you or me this time?" As soon as Trissy finished speaking, Jessica saw Trissy raise her hand and was about to slap her. Thus, Jessica immedi
During the three years Jessica spent in the Thomas family, she dealt with Trissy many times. Thus, Jessica knew well about the tricks Trissy played. Otherwise, Jessica wouldn't have been able to post so much evidence after she divorced Lucas. When confronting someone like Trissy, Jessica knew being rational wasn't gonna work. Trissy could always manage to stay innocent and frame Jessica up. Thus, the best solution was to slap Trissy right in the face. After all, Trissy's dirty tricks only worked in the Thomas family. That was what Jessica had just done, slapping Trissy right in front of Lucas. Jessica slapped Trissy in front of Lucas. So she did. What could Lucas and Trissy do to Jessica then? Slapping Jessica in return? Did they dare? Seeing Lucas, who walked out of the hotel with a grim face, Jessica sneered. Jessica knew that she had been too naive in the past. She thought that Lucas would finally see how goo
When Jessica heard that from Wendy, her face froze for a moment and her smile faded slightly. Jessica asked, "How come Lucas lost his interest in Trissy so soon?" After all, Lucas never put his hands on Jessica in their three—year marriage. Jessica thought Lucas did that for Trissy's sake. Wendy looked at Jessica and said, "It was Trissy's younger sister, Luna." Jessica was dumbfounded for a moment. She looked at the leather seat in front of her and asked, "I didn't know Trissy had a younger sister." Jessica had no idea about Trissy's sister. Wendy had just found out that Trissy had a younger sister. She briefly told Jessica what she had found out about Luna. Five years ago, Luna had an accident and became vegetative. She was then sent abroad. Jessica's eyebrows twitched. "Did the accident have anything to do with Lucas?" Wendy didn't know if there was love lost between Lucas and Jessica. Thus, Wendy hedged when she hea
Jessica didn't expect such a big twist in it. Luna's sudden appearance was like a thorn, stabbing Jessica's heart. When the car stopped, Wendy called her, "Miss Hall, we've arrived." Jessica looked away. "OK, good night! I'll go back first." When Wendy saw the look on Jessica's face had not changed, she held back her words. "Miss Hall." As soon as Jessica got out of the car, she heard a familiar voice. She turned around, only to see Terry who got out of a sports car. Jessica smiled and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Davison." Jessica thought that Terry had given up on her as they hadn't seen each other for a few days, but to her astonishment, he came to find her tonight. "The moon is bright tonight. Shall we go out for a ride?" Terry looked at her, his eyes seeming to be twinkling. Jessica dodged his gaze by tilting her head slightly. "But it's windy, Mr. Davison." Terry coughed. "I'm not in a mood. Would you mind
The Howell family and the Hawthorne family had been neighbors for so many years. When Hannah was just born, Georgia said that Kendall's mother would come to the Howell family every day, saying that she just wanted to have a daughter.Later, as she grew up a little, Kendall's mom would always mention how envious she was of Georgia for having a daughter like her.As she grew older, she even mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, about having her and Kendall become doll siblings.However, Georgia did not agree and has always been refusing.Ever since Kendall's parents divorced, Hannah hasn't seen Kendall's mom much.I didn't expect that this time, Kendall's mom would call her directly.The person on the phone seemed to have changed, as soon as they spoke, they asked her if Kendall was with her.Hannah didn't feel anything was wrong at first, and politely explained that she was on a business trip.No sooner had she finished speaking than the woman on the other end of the phone sudde
It was a dinner party in the evening, and Hannah returned to her hotel room after 9 o'clock at night.At tonight's dinner party, she was offered quite a few drinks, even though it was just red wine with a moderate alcohol content. However, Hannah hasn't really been drinking for over half a year.At that moment, the person returned to the hotel room and didn't feel like taking a shower. They collapsed on the sofa and just wanted to sleep.Sophia worried about her and, not knowing where she got it from, made her a cup of honey water."Ms. Howell, drink some honey water slowly."Hannah squinted her eyes and looked at Sophia, then smiled and said, "Sophia, was I great today?""Yes, yes, Ms. Howell performed really well today!"Sophia had been Hannah's secretary for almost three years, so she knew Hannah quite well.During this period, Hannah suddenly made great progress, which surprised everyone in their company.Sophia knew that Hannah had a childlike personality, and she had been praisi
The train arrived at four o'clock, and Hannah and Hollis got off the train only to find that it was already dark. Both of them were momentarily stunned and asked, "Did we miss our stop?"How did it get dark around four o'clock?The wind blowing over was especially cold, and Hannah's face felt like it had been scraped by a knife. She looked at the weather forecast on her phone and said, "There will be a heavy rain today. I need to hurry, or else I'll have to spend the night at this Train Station!""It was quite cold today!"Hollis straightened his clothes and said, "Let's hurry up and go!"The two of them dragged their suitcases and walked outside. It was difficult to hail a taxi in this weather, but luckily there was a subway.Hollis had no plans to look for a job and followed Hannah back to the villa.The two of them came out of the subway station, and the rain had already stopped.Hannah took a taxi half an hour in advance, so she didn't have to wait for long.With such heavy rain,
LA in November became completely cold, Hannah made an appointment with Hollis to go to the hot springs.Hollis recently became unemployed as well, with nothing to do all day, he went to look for Hannah.Two idle people gathered together, always thinking about how to have fun every day.Hannah booked a villa just for her and Hollis. The villa had a hot spring, so they didn't have to go to a public hot spring pool to soak."Hey, I heard that Kendall was going to get engaged to that Sabrina Novak. Do you know about this?"Hannah paused for a moment with her phone in hand and said, "I haven't heard.""Did Kendall look for you before?"Upon hearing Hollis' words, Hannah glanced at her and said, "Who's been feeding you nonsense again?""My younger brother, he said that one day he saw you with Kendall, and you two seemed quite close. He originally wanted to go up and say hello to you, but then he thought it would be better not to.""Drake had a bad look in his eyes, how could the word 'intim
All of her belongings from her student days are inside the miscellaneous room at home. Georgia only allows people to organize them, but she has never thrown away any item.Hannah quickly found the gift that Kendall had given her back then. After nearly fifteen or sixteen years, the outer wrapping paper had become slightly worn.Hannah held the package and returned to the room. The adhesive tape had completely stuck the wrapping paper, and she couldn't open it, so she had to tear the wrapping paper directly.Underneath the wrapping paper, there was a gift box. She opened the box and inside, there was a bed of lavender. The first thing she saw was the postcard placed on top.Hannah raised an eyebrow, picked up the postcard, and turned it over to see the message Kendall had left for her.To say or not to say, Kendall's handwriting was quite nice.Hannah, there's something I've been hesitating about for a long time, but I feel like I should tell you. I don't even know when it started, but
That night, Kendall indeed did nothing. The two of them, rarely calm and peaceful, sat together, reminiscing about the things they had experienced in the past decade.Many things were brought up again, and Hannah realized that she had many misunderstandings about Kendall as well.For example, it was not Kendall who told Georgia about her failing mid-term exam, but Georgia went to school to bring her some snacks and casually asked about it.Back in college, the incident where Kendall switched the love letter she intended to confess with was because that senior was not a good person. Kendall knew that she wouldn't listen if she told her, so she took matters into her own hands.The two of them chatted until after three in the evening. Hannah didn't even know how she fell asleep, but when she woke up, Kendall was already not in her villa.The mess on the desk has been tidied up, and everything on it is neatly arranged. Under her water cup, there is a takeout receipt, on which Kendall left
The box was just sitting there on the side, and Hannah found it to be in the way. She had just put on gloves to eat the crayfish, but she couldn't resist and took off one glove. Then she took the box and walked over to a shelf nearby, and stuffed the box into it.When she turned back, Kendall looked up at her.Hannah glanced at him and said, "What kind of look is that?""Did that box offend you?"Hannah sat back down and, as she put her gloves back on, she hummed, "If you keep asking, you will soon offend me.""OK, I didn't ask anymore."Hannah ate four or five crayfish and felt like something was missing. She looked at Kendall beside her and said, "Don't you think we're missing something?""What was missing?"Kendall handed her the peeled crayfish, and Hannah didn't hesitate to take it: "Beer, huh? Don't you drink beer when you eat barbecue?""There were a few cans of beer in the refrigerator, go and get them!"Hannah kicked him directly, Kendall took off his gloves, and got up slowl
Hannah started the car and returned to the villa, paying no attention to Kendall: "There are guest rooms on the first floor, don't come up to find me unless it's necessary."This was Kendall's second time coming to Hannah's place. Last time, Kendall didn't stay for long before being chased away by Hannah.This time, I came over...Wasn't it a little better, at least he got to sleep in a guest room on the first floor, right?Hannah finished speaking and went upstairs. Kendall didn't feel like guessing what idea he had in mind, and he didn't have the patience to play with him either.Since he was coming to stay over, she decided to give him a guest room, as there were plenty of rooms in her house.As for the rest, he can dream on!However, she thought well, but reality turned out to be somewhat contrary to her wishes.Hannah had just played two rounds of King of Glory by herself when Kendall's phone rang."What's up?""Were you playing King of Glory?""Yeah, do you have any opinions?""
Mona was not surprised at all. She only became acquainted with Hannah after junior high school, when she was young and naturally couldn't see the constant arguments between Hannah and Kendall.Later in high school, she also had a crush on Kendall, and when she saw what Kendall did to Hannah, she vaguely understood something.She remembered in her sophomore year, she even told Hannah that Kendall might like her.Hannah's reaction was very strong, telling her not to make such jokes, she couldn't handle it.Not long after, it was heard that Kendall had a girlfriend, and Mona even briefly doubted if she had sensed something wrong.Later on, Kendall went abroad after studying in her home country for only two years. After going abroad, she also vaguely heard from mutual friends in the circle that Kendall had a girlfriend again. Mona no longer mentioned Kendall's feelings for Hannah.Five years ago, Kendall came over to this side of LA to find Hannah. She was quite surprised because at that
