  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

     "Jessica, do you think we should have a concert? We didn't have enough fun yesterday!" Hannah called Jessica in the morning and told her the big news.  "The whole upper—class social circle is going to be shocked when you do that. We'd better stay low—key," Jessica said smilingly, and then walked into the bathroom to wash up.  "I am the queen! Why should I stay low—key!" Hannah snorted and said, "I'll leave you be. Time for breakfast now."  Jessica hung up the phone. She was somewhat distracted when she looked into the mirror.  Jessica recalled how she and Lucas got married. Their first night together was an accident. After that, Lucas offered to marry Jessica. Jessica knew that Lucas felt sorry and his offer only served as a remedy.  After that, Jessica tried to tell Lucas about her family background more than once, but Lucas always said he didn't care. He just wanted to get back to work.  Later, Jessica accidentally heard Olivia complain to Rebecca about how low—born Jessica w

      Jessica attended the banquet, mainly hoping to get familiar with the upper—class society of Los Angeles. After all, she was now the general manager of the Hall Group rather than Lucas' wife.  Unlike the ladies, the businessmen were more concerned about whether Jessica had a say in their cooperation with the Hall Group.  For that reason, a lot of people went to greet Jessica. Too many business chats made Jessica tired.  Thus, Jessica found an excuse to end the conversation with a man and made her way to the dining area.  Jessica put down her red wine and took a glass of juice. When she looked up, she saw Olivia and her girl friends storming over.  "Jessica, you are far from qualified to be here. Did you manage to come in by hooking up with a playboy?"  Looking at Olivia, Jessica smiled. "If you don't know what's the right thing to say, you should just go back to school. Learn harder this time so that you won't disgrace your family's fame again."  "How dare you insult me! Just

      The red wine trickled down from Olivia's long hair as she screamed in disbelief. However, Jessica did not intend to stop there. Jessica picked up another glass of red wine, intending to throw it at Olivia again. Yet when Jessica was about to make a move, Lucas suddenly grabbed her hand.  "That's enough, Jessica!"  "I don't think so." Jessica took the glass with her other hand and then splashed Olivia's face directly. Olivia's white dress was soiled with red wine. And then she threw a check in Olivia's face and said, "It's just a 100,000—dollar dress. Here it is 200,000 dollars. You can get two."  With that, Jessica left with Hannah. When Olivia finally came back to her senses, she nearly blew up.  Olivia wanted to catch up with Jessica, but Lucas stopped her.  "Haven't you had enough?" Lucas said coldly.  "Jessica seemed to be wearing the earrings from 'the Moon and the Sun' series," said a guest.  "So she did. Her bracelet and her earrings come in a set. The series is limite

      In the evening, Jessica and Wendy arrived at the restaurant.  Just as she walked through the doors of the restaurant, Jessica saw a familiar figure next to a pillar in the lobby of the restaurant.  Olivia?  Jessica raised her eyebrows as the elevator doors opened, and the figure hurriedly stepped into the elevator.  When Jessica reached the room on the fourth floor, she heard that Watson was talking to someone on the phone. Jessica seemed to have heard Watson mention "Miss Thomas".  Jessica nodded at Wendy. Wendy stepped forward and pushed open the door. She greeted Watson. "Hello, Mr. Borka."  Watson hurriedly hung up the phone and turned around. He gave Jessica a meaningful look. Then he walked over with a polite smile on his face.  "Jessica, Megan has been bragging about how competent you are to me all the time. Please take a seat. The red wine was already decanted. Please give it a try."  "Thank you very much for your invitation. See this as a sincere wish for a satisfyi

     Those members of the MC club took Jessica to a pub. Jessica didn't feel like speaking. She couldn't get rid of them anyway.  Seeing how calm Jessica was, the man couldn't help but say, "You are bold indeed."  Then, the man brought over a glass of whiskey and said to Jessica, "I won't make things too difficult for you. Drink it all and you may leave."  "What if I refuse?" Jessica looked at the whiskey and then at the man.  "In that case, you won't be able to leave." The man clenched his fists, and Jessica heard some clicks.  Jessica took over the glass and drank all the whiskey in one gulp. Then she turned the glass upside down and looked up at the man. "I'm done here. Can I leave now?"  The man shrugged and raised his chin to look at the door. "As you wish, if you still have any strength to move."  Jessica soon felt as if the strength in her body had been drained away, she could only hold on to the wall and barely walk to the couch and sit down, knowing that something must hav

      "Miss Hall, may I ask why you chose the Puth Corporation? After all, we are not yet as qualified and recognized as the Borka Group in real estate industry," said Brian Larson, CEO of the Puth Corporation. He felt quite flattered.  When Brian knew that the Hall Group intended to work with the Puth Corporation, he even rushed back to Los Angeles from California to meet with Jessica.  "Mr. Larson, are you saying that you don't have faith in your own company?" Jessica raised her eyebrows and asked.  Brian froze for a few seconds before he burst out laughing. He then said, "I believe we'll have a pleasant cooperation, Miss Hall."  After Brian left, Jessica was in a very good mood. Megan and Watson tried to make things difficult for Jessica, yet they forgot that Jessica was no pushover.  Shortly afterward, Megan learned that Jessica had replaced the Borka Group, so he called Jessica at once.  "We have been working with the Borka Group for many years. How could you change that?"  "I

      Given that Jessica nearly got into trouble after having dinner with Watson from the Borka Group, Jessica decided to buy her own car. That could save a lot of trouble.  Early in the morning, Jessica and Hannah arrived at Auto Mall. Jessica had decided on her future car earlier. She went to the mall for a trial. If nothing went wrong, she would just fulfill the payment.  "This one will do." Jessica nodded to the salesperson. With that, the salesperson hurried to get the receipt ready.  Jessica and Hannah had just sat down when they saw Lia Rowse walking over. She was Olivia's bestie.  "Is your friend looking for a car here, Miss Hall?" Lia greeted Jessica, seemingly politely.  Jessica knew that Lia was in Olivia's league. She didn't feel like talking to Lia, so she only nodded.  "What a coincidence! I'm here looking for a car, too. Which one did you pick, Miss Hall?"  At that time, the salesperson came back with the settled receipt and answered on Jessica's behalf, "Miss Hall o

    Who is Dominic?Sophia had never heard of this person from Hannah's mouth, but looking at Hannah's expression, this "Dominic" was probably more than just a regular friend.Although Sophia was gossipy, she was not someone who liked to pry into her boss's personal matters.She didn't bother Hannah anymore, loosened the collar of her clothes, poured a cup of hot water and placed it by the bedside, and then closed the door and left.Hannah didn't sleep well all night and had a lot of random dreams, which seemed real and yet also seemed fake.She dreamt that Dominic came back in her dream and asked her for money. As soon as he opened his mouth, he demanded three billion. Hannah got angry and immediately slapped him twice.She watched as Dominic's face instantly turned fierce, and he raised his hand to hit her.

    Hannah almost fell asleep on the couch, but woke up to find that it was almost 1 o'clock in the morning.The mood that was disturbed by that man is still very bad now. She pursed her lips, got up and went upstairs to take a bath and have a good sleep.It was probably in the evening when Foster blocked the door, and Hannah dreamt about him all night.The next day, Hannah woke up in shock. She touched her forehead and grabbed the nearby pillow, then started pounding it fiercely.She dreamt that she was being violently beaten by Foster's wife, with her hair being pulled out in the dream.Hannah was still trembling with fear as she looked in the mirror for a while, making sure her hair was still there before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.She was too lazy to make breakfast, so she sent Sophia a message and started getting ready for work.It has been over a month of wandering, it's time to go back and be a good boss.Hannah's work attitude has always been lackadaisical.

    Hannah immediately closed the car window, she didn't even get out of the car, and just looked at the man in front of her car through the windshield.Foster moved slightly and walked around to the side of the car, “Hannah."He called her again.Two years ago, Hannah's favorite thing was his voice.Dominic, oh no, he doesn't go by Dominic anymore, he goes by Foster, Mr. Carroway.Not to mention, Foster had a handsome face and a voice that was captivating.However, after two years, when Hannah heard this familiar voice again, she didn't blush at all like she used to.This man had a cruel heart, she had witnessed it.Hannah, who had lived for almost thirty years, had never experienced such a big setback.She used to persistently pursue him, which was quite good.

    Seeing her frowning, Terry took her hand and asked, "What's wrong?""Hannah kept something from me."Terry didn't know much about Hannah's situation, and he didn't have any particular opinion on Jessica's words either, “Miss Howell is not young anymore, she will have her own judgment."Jessica nodded, Hannah was indeed not young anymore, if there was really something she needed help with, it was impossible for her not to speak up and seek help.Despite this, Jessica still called Mona.Early in the morning, Mona had just woken up when she received a call from Jessica. She was quite surprised and said, "Jessica?""It was me."Jessica glanced at Terry, who leaned over to fasten her seatbelt, and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch his short hair.Terry glanced at her with a half-smile, slowly started the car.Jessica told Mona about what happened to Hannah last night, "She drank three cans of beer at once, she must have encountered something."Mona also agreed, "I indeed never saw

    This was not what annoyed Hannah the most. What annoyed her the most was that she was standing in front of the doors of the middle elevator, while Foster and the others were on the left side, walking past her as they left.The aisle, which had just appeared spacious, now seemed narrow as Hannah stood in the middle while four or five people passed by together.She was quite spirited, but as soon as she saw someone, she quickly averted her gaze and looked up at the bouncing floors of the elevator in front of her.When the man passed by her from behind, she could smell the familiar scent of cedar.Hannah tightened her grip on the side of her body. Fortunately, soon enough, the elevator arrived and with a "ding," the elevator door quickly opened.Hannah lifted her leg and walked straight in, then turned around and desperately pressed the door close button.She was afraid that if she slowed down any further, she wouldn't be able to resist going up and hitting someone.The elevator went up

    It is easier to get things done with acquaintances.Hannah saw that it was someone she knew, and immediately felt relieved.Jessica said that she had thick skin, and she wasn't without reason.Just then, as soon as she took her seat, she immediately struck up a conversation with Joseph, “Didn't the two of you used to skip class and go to the arcade? You haven't forgotten about me, have you?"Joseph smiled as he unwrapped the packaging paper of the straw for her, "I didn't forget."Hannah, in their circle, was also a well-known "celebrity", how could he forget.Hannah took the straw and said thank you, “Did you break up? I remember Kendall said you had a girlfriend! Or is it that your mother doesn't like her? It's okay, just keep going! Love is a rare thing, it's not easy to find in our circle. Once we find it, how can we easily give up?"Hannah was stuck on the road for nearly twenty minutes. The weather in August was hot, and even though the car had the air conditioning on, it felt t
