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 thOlivia 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
Jessica pressed her fingers to her temples. "I have been treated unfairly many times. Are you going to rectify them one by one?" "Yes." He answered without hesitation. Jessica looked at him, her heart pounding. Jessica had never been bullied when she was young, but Hannah had been. Hannah looked happy and carefree now, but she was timid in school. She would only cry when some seniors took protection money from her in junior high. She didn't dare to tell her teacher. It was Jessica, Caesar, and Lance who found the seniors and beat them up. They didn't regret it even when the school called their parents. But Jessica turned into a totally different person after marrying Lucas. She had to put up with everything Lucas did, even after they divorced. Jessica's friends wanted to revenge for her, but she had suffered so much. Revenge was not enough. Jessica thought Terry was just joking. However, Terry had parked the car at the entran
As soon as Terry finished speaking, Lucas said angrily, "What do you want, Terry?" "I'm at the door of Room 1701 in the Hilton Hotel. If you want to know what I want to do, why don't you come and see?" Leaving no time for Lucas to say something, Terry hung up the phone. Then he sent a message to someone, which Jessica didn't see clearly. After sending the message, Terry looked up at Jessica. "Let's invite ourselves in. What do you think?" Jessica did not quite understand what he was trying to do. "Are you sure they won't cast us out?" Luna might not know of her, but Trissy was slapped by Jessica just now. Jessica was not welcome. Terry smiled at her. "Maybe Luna is waiting for you." Before Jessica could realize it, Terry knocked on the door. "Excuse me..." Trissy opened the door. When she saw Jessica and Terry, her face changed. A woman's voice came from inside the room. "Trissy, is that Lou?" Lou? Jessica laughed at
Trissy didn't even call "Miss Hall" anymore. Instead, she directly called Jessica's first name. Jessica tilted her head and glanced at Trissy, her gaze falling on Trissy's face. Jessica suddenly felt that the two Miss Cheeks were quite interesting. "I don't mean anything. It's just that Luna has been back for a while, but it seems that no one knows about it." Jessica's words made Luna feel displeased. Luna lowered her head slightly. Her gentle eyes suddenly turned cold unnoticed. Jessica looked at Luna wryly. "I'm a stubborn person. And I want to figure out a few things. I just happened to be free tonight, so I came over to find the answers." Lucas had done such a disgusting thing. Did they think they would get away with it? If so, how did Jessica accept the fact that she was fooled by them for three years? As soon as Jessica finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. It seemed that Lucas and Luna were really a s
Julie looked up and said, "I will go and have a look."She turned around and ran over to Hannah's side, as she spoke.Just now, Hannah saw that there were crabs in the cage and curiously asked Jessica, "Will there be crabs in the cracks of these stones?"Julie hadn't really thought about it, but don't crabs usually like to hide in crevices in shallow water? So she casually replied, "Sure, if you want to catch one, go down and take a look for yourself."Hannah really rolled up her pants, went down the stream, and searched for crabs among the gaps in the rocks.The stream was clear, you could see to the bottom at a glance.Hannah didn't take long to find a crab. She was planning to catch it and show off to Jessica, but the crab ran too fast. She kept finding several others, but they all managed to escape.This time she saw a quite big one, and didn't want to let the crab just run away like that, so she shouted for Jessica.Julie
Hannah was curious about everything, so when she saw that bamboo house, she pulled Julie and asked her all sorts of questions.Terry walked alongside Morgan and May, both of whom were quite advanced in age. Although the mountain was not very high and not difficult to climb, it still required physical effort, and the two of them fell behind by quite a bit.When they arrived in front of the bamboo house, Jessica and Hannah were already not inside the bamboo house.Terry poured the leftover tea for May and Morgan and pointed to the door of the bamboo house, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, Jessica said that Mr. Garrison found her in front of this bamboo house."Upon hearing Terry's words, Morgan's hand holding the teacup trembled.He also didn't care about drinking water anymore, and got up and walked to the front of the bamboo house.Just now they came up from the mountain and saw only a bamboo house amidst the lush greenery. There was a stream flowing n
I have to say, the three questions that Hannah asked in a row were the same questions that Morgan and May were concerned about.Jessica lost her memory, and they all didn't want to put pressure on her.They only have one precious daughter. When they first learned about Jessica's accident, both of them were devastated. Now that they have finally found her, Morgan and May naturally want to bring Jessica back home.Just now, Jessica and Terry walked in, talking and laughing. Both of them felt quite emotional inside.At this moment, the person most eager to have Jessica return should be Terry, and the person most anxious for Jessica to regain her memory is also Terry.But Terry seemed to have no worries about these issues. As parents, they couldn't bear to see Jessica struggling."It's true that this place was a bit poor, but Jessica lived happily and was doing fine."May sighed and said, "It's true, Jessica was definitely raised on a ped
Terry was clearly puzzled, "Will there be wild rabbits and pheasants on this mountain?"This side is all small hills, they are called mountains, but the altitude is not high, only about one or two hundred meters. It takes about three hours to go up from the foot of the mountain to the top slowly, and it takes a little over an hour to go up quickly.More than twenty years ago, it was not uncommon to see wild pheasants and wild rabbits. Given the current ecological environment, it is indeed quite unexpected to still have wild pheasants and wild rabbits.Julie looked at him and smiled, "What Roberto said, anyway, those who run in the mountains, nameless and faceless, what are they if not wild chickens and hares?""That's right."Terry thought that Roberto was indeed quite interesting. You said he was a bad person, but he didn't hesitate to save Jessica. You say he is a good person, but he is actually very "carefree".The two of them crossed the
Terry paused for a moment, watching Jessica's figure disappear. It was only then that he noticed Roberto lying on the lounge chair about ten meters ahead.At that moment, the sun was scorching hot, and Roberto covered his face with a straw hat to shield it from the direct sunlight.Julie walked over and looked at the sun hat on Roberto's face, raising an eyebrow and shaking her ponytail. She took a few steps forward and pulled the fishing line hard.Feeling the fishing rod in his hand move, Roberto quickly sat up from the lounge chair."Old man, there was a fish on the hook!"Roberto saw her and snorted, "What are you here for?""I saw you fishing!"Roberto scoffed, "It was you who pulled the fishing line just now, right?""Don't accuse me wrongly, I didn't do it."Julie didn't admit it.Roberto heard the commotion from Terry's side, turned his head and saw Terry throwing a bamboo cage into the stream. He instinct
Because Morgan and the others were still asleep, Julie had to leave a note on the table in the living room.Afterwards, she took Terry into the mountains.When the two of them were leaving, Lucas was still there. Seeing them leaving, he also followed along.Terry glanced at Jessica and didn't say anything.Julie paused and turned her head to look at Lucas. "Mr. Thomas, I suggest you go back and take care of your company. Although I have lost my memory and don't remember our past, I believe that since we got divorced, I must have had my reasons."She spoke, paused for a moment, and finally glanced at Lucas before bluntly adding, "Persistent pestering, it really lacks the grace of a man."Jessica before her amnesia had said something similar.With just one sentence, she left Lucas speechless.But he knew that Jessica had lost her memory, it was a second chance given to him by fate, even though he felt despicable in doing so.
Julie walked into the backyard and saw the clothes thrown in the trash bin. She glanced at them and then carried the clothes into the bathroom.Julie finished taking a shower and washing her hair before going out. Hannah was sitting at the door of the west wing and when she saw Julie coming out, she got up and tried to cover up the truth, saying, "There are too many mosquitoes over there."She spoke and showed her arm that had been stung.Julie glanced and said, "There were many mosquitoes in the evening, I suggest you wear long sleeves."Their clothes were brought by a woman who drove over after the rain stopped. The woman seemed quite excited when she saw her, her eyes even turned red as she looked at Julie.But Julie couldn't remember anything, so she just nodded her head as a way of greeting.The clothes Wendy brought over were quite thoughtful, as she prepared several sets for each person.Hannah obediently went to change into lo
Terry reacted quickly too. Upon hearing Jessica's words, he closed the box and threw it back into the pit.Julie hurriedly filled the soil back with a shovel. This box of gold, indeed, could not be exposed to light casually!She guessed that there were valuable things hidden inside, otherwise, during the few days she was unconscious and drugged, it couldn't possibly have been dug up by the old man going up the mountain.In the first few days after waking up, Roberto still made her drink medicine.Although Julie didn't have the ability to distinguish medicines, she could clearly recognize the thick ginseng placed in the kitchen.Although it is said that all ginseng nowadays has been cultivated, the one Roberto uses for medicinal purposes is mostly wild, and it grows so long. It must be quite expensive.It should be at least a few thousand, if not tens of thousands.This was just the money for a medicine, and later Roberto also bought h
Hannah saw Terry coming and tactfully left the kitchen.Terry also glanced at Jessica and said, "I just saw a big yellow dog."Julie paused her action of scrubbing the pot and said, "Tsk, you're quite naughty too."Terry looked at her, his eyes twinkling with a smile. He didn't say anything, but Julie somehow understood what he meant from the look in his eyes.She averted her gaze and started heating up the pan.Roberto was very stingy. He didn't give her much money, even though he knew they were going to the market today.Julie had one hundred and fifty dollars in her pocket and wanted to buy everything. But after looking around, she paid eighty dollars for clothes, and she was left with seventy dollars in her hand.Fortunately, things in remote and impoverished areas were cheap. She bought several pounds of pork and pig bones. She originally wanted to buy chicken, but Roberto said there were wild chickens in the mountains. When she
