"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
Three months later, in Sheraton Los Angeles San Gabriel Hotel. Jessica and her secretary Wendy had just taken their seats when they heard someone call out behind them, "Mr. Thomas." There were not many Mr. Thomases who were qualified to attend this business banquet in Los Angeles. Jessica subconsciously looked back. As expected, the person who came was Jessica's ex—husband, Lucas Thomas. What an unsurprising acquaintance! Wendy, sitting next to Jessica, stood up and greeted Lucas politely, "Mr. Thomas, this is Jessica Hall, general manager of the Hall Group." "Mr. Thomas, I've long been looking forward to meeting you." Jessica smiled and extended her hand toward Lucas. Lucas fixed his eyes on Jessica. She seemed to have become someone else. She looked vibrant. Her wavy chestnut hair, which used to be blond, was worn down on her shoulders. With a faint smile and a pleasant voice, Jessica looked polite and decent. She looked at Lucas as if she didn't know him at all.
This is the first time that Olivia suffered a loss. It was she who bullied Jessica all the time. Today Jessica actually slapped, so she ran to Justin as soon as she returned to the Thomas family's villa to complain. But Olivia was slapped by Jessica this time. So, as soon as Olivia returned to Thomas villa, she ran to Justin and complained. When Justin heard that Jessica had come back to LA, he was filled with fury again. Justin immediately called Lucas and asked him to bring Jessica over the next day so that she could kneel and apologize. "Grandpa, we are divorced." Lucas said calmly. "So what? She released the video. If we call the police, she will be thrown into prison!" Justin coughed as he spoke. "The police won't arrest her, because what she posted was exactly what had happened." Lucas was a little impatient. Justin froze for a moment. When Justin came to his senses, Lucas had already hung up. Lucas threw his phone on the sofa and lit a cigar. Three months
The driver happened to be at home today and was being escorted out by another police officer.He, on the other hand, didn't cry and shout like his wife did, even when he was being escorted out, he kept his head down, as if he was afraid of being too embarrassed in front of the neighbors.The wife, who had been crying and complaining incessantly, suddenly stopped shouting. The man, as if sensing something, glanced inside the car and when he saw Jessica, his face immediately turned pale.That woman...Even though almost a year had passed, the man still recognized the beautiful woman at first sight.As the saying goes, if you have done no wrong, you need not fear the knock of a ghost at the door.After that day, the man had several nightmares in a row, but as time went by, he gradually forgot about them.I didn't expect that after a year, the other party would come to my door with the police.The man lowered his head, forced a bitter smile, and muttered, "Retribution! Retribution!"If th
Suddenly, there was a "drip" sound outside the door, and Jessica knew that Terry had come back. She quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Terry pushed the door open and entered the room. Jessica was still on the couch, with her head tilted back, smiling at him. "You're back so soon?" she said.Terry walked over and only then did he see that Jessica's eyes were a little red.He put down the things he was holding in his hands and bent his body halfway in front of Jessica. He held her face with both hands and said, "Did you cry secretly?""No way."He looked at her and suddenly raised his head to kiss her on the eyes.Jessica trembled for a moment, and the emotions in her heart instantly magnified. She fell into his arms and hugged him, saying, "I don't know why, but it feels like I haven't seen you guys for a long time."Before today, she didn't remember anything. The missing memories of over twenty years made her silent when facing the past.If she couldn't remembe
Upon hearing his words, Jessica inexplicably choked up, "What if it wasn't?""No if."He spoke and tightly held her hand.Jessica blinked her eyes and said, "I was a little hungry.""I went to buy ravioli for you.""Okay."Jessica let go of her hand and leaned back on the sofa, looking at him as he touched his stomach and asked, "Is the little one okay?"Terry also touched her abdomen, “It's fine."It has been over four months, almost five months, and Jessica's belly is still not very noticeable.But knowing that there was a life growing inside, I placed my hand on it, even though I couldn't feel anything, a wave of tenderness still surged in my heart.Terry glanced at her and said, "Behave, I will go buy you some food.""I knew."It was almost 8 o'clock now. After lunch, both Jessica and Terry hadn't eaten anything. At this time, they should have been hungry.Terry took his phone and said, "I will go downstairs to buy some food.""Go."She was not a child, so there was no need to wat
Jessica was still asleep, with an oxygen tube inserted in her nose, looking as if she was sleeping.Terry walked over and held her hand, then followed the gurney back to the regular ward.The hospital in this town was simple, and there weren't many people in the inpatient department. Jessica was assigned to a separate ward.The nurse gave Terry a few instructions and then left, leaving the ward filled with the sound of machines.Jessica's forehead was scratched, and it bled, but the bleeding was not excessive, and the wound quickly coagulated.Terry used a wet tissue to wipe away the bloodstain, and just as he threw away the tissue, his phone started vibrating.It was an unfamiliar number.But Terry still remembered the incident with the police. He picked up his phone and stood in front of the window by the door, watching Jessica inside, while answering the call, "Mr. Policeman?""It was me. Is Mrs. Davison alright?""Having just recovered from shock, the doctor said there was no majo
Halfway through the interrogation, Terry received a message from Jessica and he immediately interrupted the officer in front of him, saying, "Sorry, I have to go back, my wife is in danger."The police officer taking the statement also had some difficulty processing it, “Your wife..."Terry didn't have time to think about it, Jessica wouldn't easily send such a message again, she sent a distress signal, the situation must be very bad.Seeing Terry get up and run, the police officer who was taking the statement quickly chased after him, saying, "Mr. Davison, if your wife is in danger, we can send help..."Terry didn't wait for him to finish, “Well, thank you, officer! I'm going back first!"The car stopped at the entrance of the police station, Terry turned the car out of the road, and as soon as the car got on the main road, he stepped on the accelerator.The car drove away all of a sudden, at a very high speed. When the police ran out, Terry's car had already disappeared.Terry almos
The sunlight at twelve o'clock was even more intense. Eamon was scolded by Jessica, and although he had the intention to run away, he lacked the courage to do so. Who knew when Jessica would come out of the house.He was tied to a tree, although most of the sunlight was blocked by the leaves, it was still very hot at noon, and Eamon was suffering as his body still hurt from the several places Jessica had just hit him.Jessica and Terry were leisurely eating lunch inside the house, eating to their heart's content. It was only after they had finished eating that Jessica took out her phone and called the police.The police took more than twenty minutes to arrive, and when Eamon heard the sound of the police siren, he instinctively trembled.Terry glanced at him and went out to meet the police, “Hello, I am the husband of the person who made the report."Terry made a simple self-introduction, “My wife got scared by a thief, which caused her to have a miscarriage. She is currently resting
Eamon realized it and instinctively wanted to run, but Jessica also reacted quickly, reaching out and smashing the coconut she had just taken a few sips of onto him.Terry, who was standing by, immediately dropped what he was holding and ran up to grab the tattered oil-paper umbrella by the door. He forcefully smashed it onto Eamon's ankle, causing him to scream in pain, "Ah!"Eamon fell directly from the wall, and he was about to resist as soon as he got up, but unfortunately Terry had a very solid oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and he was hit again as soon as he got up.After being hit more than ten times, Eamon couldn't bear it and quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Please stop hitting me! I was wrong!"Terry turned around and glanced at Jessica, saying, "Bring the rope."Jessica turned and entered the small room next to her, pulling out the hemp rope from under the bed.Eamon, who fell to the ground, attempted to escape. Terry, seeing that he was being dishonest, fiercely struck
Denzel arrived at the hospital and remained unconscious. That night, he was transferred to the ICU.It had been several days since Jessica heard the news when she and Terry arrived in Tonopah.It was almost June, and as soon as Jessica got off the plane, she felt a wave of heat.Plus, back in January, Eamon came over causing trouble, and Jessica was a bit concerned about the condition of the yard.The temperature today was a bit high, and Terry was worried that Jessica couldn't handle it, so he didn't go over there immediately after coming out of the airport.The two of them stayed in the city for the whole night and only took the car over early the next morning.There weren't many households in the village to begin with, and it seems that the big yellow dog that used to chase after Jessica is now gone.Jessica and Terry asked the neighbor next door and found out that there was an old man in the village who fell while picking vegetables in the vegetable field more than three months ag
Denzel had been talking to Lucas all along, and in the few short seconds before the elevator arrived, there were only Denzel's childish voice and Lucas's occasional "uh-huh".The elevator came quite fast, and Jessica and Terry were the first to enter.There were no other people inside the elevator, only the five of them.Jessica and Terry were in the right corner, while their family of three was in the left corner.Terry held Jessica's hand, lowered his head to look at her, and the two exchanged a glance, only to smile slightly and never speak.After about five or six seconds, the elevator finally reached the first floor.Jessica and Terry didn't move, watching as Lucas and the other two exited the elevator. Only then did Terry say, "Let's go."Jessica glanced at him, and both of them instinctively slowed down their pace. The family of three in front of them gradually moved further away, until they were about ten meters apart. It was only then that Jessica spoke, "Are he and Susie pla
