"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
Jessica, Hannah, and their friends brought a great deal of attention to Mona's new nightclub through their performance. They attracted a lot of customers within a short time. Hari was curious about Mona's nightclub as well. So he left LURE for Cloud Top. Lucas had to follow Hari as well. Jessica drew their attention once the two of them had just entered Cloud Top. She was on the stage. Jessica wore a white shirt and a pair of denim pants. Her outfit revealed her S—line figure perfectly. The gull—wing eyeliner and SUQQU's new eye shadow made Jessica look attractively aloof. A lot of passionate customers were shaking their bodies at Jessica's drum beats. This was the second time Lucas saw Jessica on the stage. And at that moment, Jessica was like a singer performing at the Super Bowl, impressing the entire audience with her charisma. Lucas realized that he wanted to learn more about Jessica when seeing this side of her. But Lucas then recalled that they had already div
When Jessica arrived at the Sharp Technology, Terry was still in a meeting.Jerry saw her coming and was a little surprised, "Mrs. Davison."Jessica had been called Miss Hall for over a year when she was suddenly called Mrs. Davison, and she felt a little embarrassed.However, Jessica didn't show any reaction and just nodded, saying, "You go ahead and do your thing, I'll just wait here.""Okay, I had someone prepare some food for you."Jessica thought for a moment and didn't refuse, “Thank you for your hard work."Jerry left with the door, leaving Jessica alone in the office.Soon, Jerry's assistant brought in some pastries and tea, “Mrs. Davison, if you need anything, you can tell me."Jessica looked at the half table of stuff and shook her head, "No need, you can go and do your own thing.""Okay, Mrs. Davison."This was not Jessica's first time coming to Terry's office, but it was her first time coming to Terry's office after getting married.Jerry had someone prepare a lot of food.
Jessica stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Larkspur. They were standing a little over two meters apart, and she just stood there without any intention of approaching. "Really? But I don't know what else I can do to help you."If it were in the past, Larkspur would have already cursed Jessica in response to her words. But today, she did come for a reason, so she could only pretend not to understand the sarcasm in Jessica's words, “This matter, indeed, only you can help me."Jessica pursed her lips and said, "So it seems like you didn't just happen to pass by and see me, you came here on purpose, didn't you?"Jessica directly pointed out her purpose, and Larkspur awkwardly smiled, "I did come to find you today."Upon hearing her words, Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "If you came to see me for business matters, I think you should make an appointment with my secretary. I just told you earlier that I have a meeting later, and I am tired right now. I don't want to hear anythi
Jessica was indeed sober, and she obediently loosened her mouth upon hearing his words.The couple had not had any intimate moments since they found out about the pregnancy. One reason was their busy schedule, and the other was that it was not suitable during the early stages of pregnancy.After two months, although it couldn't be completely enjoyable, it could be considered a slight relief.Coming out of the bathroom, Jessica's face was all flushed.After she became pregnant, she particularly enjoyed holding Terry. She didn't know why, but she just felt that holding him was very comfortable and joyful.Terry carried the person to the bed and laid them down. Seeing her looking at him, his eyes darkened, "Hmm?""I wanted to drink water."She spoke and subconsciously pursed her lips.The aftertaste had not yet faded, and Jessica's lips were tinged with red from the inside out. With a slight pursing, she resembled a peach blossom in March, glistening with dew.Terry looked and swallowed
After dinner, the two of them went downstairs for a walk.On a warm evening in mid-May in LA, Jessica spent an hour leisurely strolling outside. When she returned home, her back was covered in a thin layer of sweat.She was not someone who was afraid of heat, but this year she inexplicably became afraid of heat.Terry handed her a cup of warm water and walked into the kitchen with the newly bought watermelon.Jessica sat on the couch, still sweating, and she didn't feel like moving, not even to drink water.The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and it was pleasantly cool. After sitting for a while, she gradually recovered.I got up and walked to the kitchen to wait for Terry to juice the watermelon. Nearly ten kilograms of watermelon is too much for two people to finish. So we juiced two cups of watermelon juice and there was still half of the watermelon left. Terry was scooping out watermelon balls.Jessica had used the small tool and watched Terry digging. She couldn't help
Caspian and Astrid watched as Jerry entered the room. The two exchanged a glance, and Astrid spoke first, "I did as you instructed..."Is it that she is going to be blamed for what is happening now?Caspian looked at Astrid and asked, "How do you think I should talk to the president?"Astrid smirked and said, "How would I know?"Astrid was thinking about whether to sell Caspian, but in the company, the decision-making power is currently in Caspian's hands. She is just a junior minister, so even if she sells Caspian, she won't gain any benefits.Caspian looked at Astrid and was also thinking about how to push her out and make her take the blame.But he also knew that Astrid would not willingly take the blame.If he had pushed Astrid to take the blame, Astrid would have turned around and exposed their affair, and he wouldn't have been able to get away with it.Weighing the pros and cons, Caspian couldn't come up with a perfect solution, “It's getting late, let's go back and rest. I will
The woman left quickly, Terry brushed off the coldness on his face, and looked back at Jessica in the video on his phone, saying, "She's gone."Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "You were quite lucky."Terry knew that she did it on purpose, but just smiled and said, "Shouldn't you go take a shower?"Jessica got off work today and it was almost ten o'clock when she returned to her apartment. She had a video call with Terry for a while, and at this time, it was indeed time to take a shower."Got it, I'll hang up first.""Okay, let me know after you have finished taking a shower.""Um."As the screen went black, Terry's face also turned cold. He immediately dialed Jerry's phone number.Jerry was also just about to take a shower when he suddenly received a call from Terry. The alarm bell rang loudly, "Mr. Davison?""Come over."Realizing that things were not simple, Jerry didn't dare to delay, “Okay, I will come to your room right away."After hanging up the phone, Jerry didn't even ta
Jessica immediately blocked the number, and Terry, who was standing beside her, asked, "What happened?""The high school classmate I ran into at the hospital entrance this morning."Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "So how did they manage to blacken someone?"Jessica glanced at him and snorted, "He doesn't look like a good person."Terry wanted to say something, but the green light ahead turned on.He averted his gaze and started the car to move forward.When I got home, Hannah happened to send a message asking when she and Terry were planning to go on their honeymoon.Hannah didn't know that she was pregnant, and Jessica didn't plan on letting so many people know right now.Terry also planned not to have an excessive honeymoon. They will go again next month, as it has only been just over three months since their wedding. It is better to be cautious.She naturally couldn't say this to Hannah, so Jessica had to come up with the excuse that she was busy lately and postponed the honeymo
Larkspur hadn't heard any news about Jessica for several years after graduation, and she always thought that Jessica must have been doing poorly, which was why she didn't dare to show up.So when she saw the man getting out of the Cadillac just now, she instinctively felt that he was Jessica's husband.Moreover, Jessica's gaze just now was also directed towards that direction.And that man was tall and thin, and he didn't look bad either.However, Terry walked towards Jessica step by step, and Larkspur, looking at the eye contact between the two, instantly knew that he had just made a mistake.She looked at Terry and felt that he looked familiar.Not to mention the familiarity in her eyes, Terry's face truly made her jealous of Jessica. And if she wasn't mistaken, the man had just gotten out of a Maybach.Thinking of these things, Larkspur's complexion turned a bit pale.Terry walked up to Jessica and asked, "What's wrong?"Jessica shook her head and glanced at Larkspur, "It's nothing
After taking a break for the whole day, Jessica woke up the next day feeling refreshed and energized.Today happened to be the day for her to go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, so both she and Terry woke up quite early.May and Morgan were also concerned about her prenatal check-up today. Early in the morning, May called to ask if Jessica needed company.She also knew that the newlywed couple naturally wanted to spend some time alone together.However, Jessica became pregnant and there were some places where Terry, being a man, couldn't accompany her for the check-ups. May was worried that Jessica would feel anxious by herself.Jessica didn't want May to accompany her to the hospital, even though she was only twelve weeks pregnant and the prenatal check-up was not complicated. However, the hospital was crowded and the waiting time was long. On their wedding day, both Jessica and Terry had a hard time, and her parents also went through a lot of hardship. So she didn't want May
