Jessica smiled at Terry and ignored Hannah's question. She said to him, "Good morning."
She was hungry when she woke up early in the morning. Since the breakfast was ready, Jessica didn't refuse. She walked to the dining table and sat down. "Thank you." Terry slightly raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jessica. He put a cup of coffee in front of her and raised his hand to touch her forehead. "Do you feel better?" The man's warm palm pressed against Jessica's forehead, and she felt a bit warm. She was looking at breakfast and she did not expect that Terry would make such a move. However, when Jessica realized it, he retracted his hand. Terry said and sat down. Hannah sat next to Jessica and couldn't help but snort. "Mr. Davison, do you really think that this is your home?" Terry glanced at Hannah, not minding the teasing in her words at all. "Didn't you tell me to suit myself?" Hannah didn't know what to say. She did noJessica's reaction made Trissy unable to make up her mind, but she also knew that Jessica was the best one to deal with this matter by deleting the things on Twitter. "Miss Hall, I know that Luna was lying. I won't deny it, but she has paid the price for her lie. She almost died yesterday. She did something stupid and as her sister, I am responsible for it. I am here to apologize on her behalf." Trissy said as she stepped back and bowed, "I'm sorry." Jessica and Trissy had lived together in the Thomas' house for three years. Trissy had never been so humble in front of Jessica. Jessica curled her lips, but she did not say a word. "When Luna is discharged from the hospital in two days, I will bring her to apologize to you." Trissy stopped and looked up at Jessica, waiting for her answer. Trissy's humble move piqued Jessica's curiosity. Jessica asked, "Miss Cheek, are you here only to apologize to me today?" "I came to ap
Jessica got up early today, and it was not yet time for work when she arrived at the company. Wendy had yet to come. There were already a lot of documents on Jessica's desk. They were probably from yesterday's work. Jessica made herself a cup of coffee, took a document, and slowly read it. She had recovered, so she was in a better mood. Jessica had only sat down for five minutes when Wendy arrived. "Miss Hall, do you feel well?" Jessica glanced at her. "Much better. Has the bidding plan for the land in the north of LA been confirmed?" Wendy nodded. "Not yet. Mr. Bell said that you were in charge of this project. You have to take a look first." Jessica snorted and said, "Megan changes quite fast." Two months ago, he mocked her for being new to the company, but now, he trusted her so much. Wendy nodded, "That's not all. Mr. Bella also wanted adopt your plan on Spring Valley Village." Jessica smiled. "I see.
When Dwayne Dantes heard that, his face froze. He glanced at Jessica and left Jessica's office with a stern face. Dwayne returned without achieving anything, and he only panicked on the way back. Before Dwayne left the Thomas villa, Justin repeatedly warned him that he must sincerely invite Jessica to the Thomas villa. However, not only did Dwayne not manage to invite Jessica over, but he also seemed to have accidentally offended her. On the way back, Dwayne's face looked grimmer and grimmer. Soon, the car stopped at the gate of the Thomas villa. The driver looked back at Dwayne and said, "Mr. Dantes, we're here." Dwayne glanced out of the window. He had been working for Justin for years, and this was his first time making such a big mistake. Back then, Jessica was a pushover in the Thomas family. Although Dwayne had never bullied Jessica before, he had never treated Jessica with respect, just like others. At that time, Dwayne thought that J
Lucas already knew what Justin wanted him for. But still, there was something unexpected. Soon Lucas returned to the Thomas villa to see Justin. He frowned after hearing what Justin had said. "Are you saying that I should marry Jessica again?" Justin glared at Lucas. "What? Don't tell me you are thinking about marrying Luna!" Lucas didn't want to marry Luna. But he didn't think marrying Jessica was an option. "As for whom I will marry, let's talk about it later. But remarrying Jessica is out of the question." Justin was dissatisfied when he heard that. Justin snorted and said, "What do you mean by out of the question? Jessica likes you. Just coax her and apologize to her. Oh, by the way, tell Olivia to apologize again. Be sincere and try a few more times." Lucas did not speak while Justin was still enthusiastic about telling Lucas how to persuade Jessica. Yet Lucas didn't make a beep no matter what Justin said.
Jessica originally wanted to wait for the latest bidding plan before lunch. But what came faster than the bidding plan was Terry's phone call. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Jessica looked at the vibrating phone in front of her. After a while, she answered, "It's me, Jessica." "I'm downstairs at the Hall Group. Shall we have lunch together?" Terry knew Jessica too well. Normally, Jessica would not agree. Yet Jessica once troubled Terry when she fell ill the other day. Thus, she couldn't turn Terry down. Jessica glanced at Wendy who came in and said to Terry, "I'll go downstairs in five minutes." After that, Jessica hung up the phone and looked at Wendy. "Is the plan done?" Wendy shook her head. "The planning manager said it would be done at two o'clock." Jessica picked up the coat on the chair behind her. "I see. Before I came back, put the plan on my desk." "Yes, Miss Hall." Jessica nodded.
The courtyard was empty. The two of them spoke in a hearable voice. Lucas leaned against the carriage and heard their conversation. The two waitresses became more and more excited as they spoke. Lucas stood there and his hand moved slightly. Lucas' golden eyes darkened and he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray. He stepped out of the carriage and walked directly to the corridor. "Someone's there!" Hearing the footsteps, the two waitresses were startled. When they turned around and saw that it was Lucas, they felt even more guilty. They quickly pushed the cart to the side and left with their heads lowered. Lucas looked at the backs of the two and thought of what the two had said just now. He felt a sting in his heart. It was only now that Lucas remembered that when he sent Luna to the hospital the day before yesterday, Terry was carrying Jessica out of the hospital. Although Lucas only tossed a glance at Jessic
Jessica felt there was no need for her to greet Lucas. She didn't hate Lucas now, but it was impossible for her not to resent him a little. She thought she had already done a great job to restrain herself from turning a blind eye to him. Jessica felt that she was polite to Lucas. But this was only her thought, and it did not mean Lucas was thinking the same way. Looking at Lucas, who was walking towards her step by step, Jessica subconsciously frowned. "Mr. Thomas, you'd better not come over. I don't want to hear anything about the love and hate relationship between you and me." When Jessica said this, there was no smile on her face. Only coldness dominated her eyes. When Lucas looked over, he even saw a hint of impatience flashing through Jessica's eyes. Jessica's gaze instantly tore a hole in his heart. In an instant, all of his suppressed emotions burst out. "Are you in love with Terry now?" Jessica looked at him, f
Jessica was stunned. In the next second, she was pulled into Terry's arms. She was instantly overwhelmed by Terry's body smell. Jessica raised her head and looked at him. "He's just too cruel, Terry." When Jessica said this, she gritted her teeth and trembled a lot. Looking at her trembling eyelashes, Terry raised his hand to press the back of her head into his arms. "Then you can feel safe with me. My heart is soft. If you don't believe me, you can get into it and take a look." Jessica was in Terry's arms. Her face pressed so close against his chest that she could even hear his steady heartbeat. Jessica gradually calmed down. After Jessica came to her senses, she pushed Terry away. "Thank you." "If you want to thank me..." Terry curled his lips and didn't finish his sentence. Jessica tilted her head to look at him. "How about treating you to a meal next time, Mr. Davison?" Jessica smiled again. "I have a meeting this
Jessica was strolling in the garden downstairs of the hospital, where a young mother was playing soccer with a little boy.The football rolled up to her. Jessica picked it up and watched as the little boy ran over."Miss Pretty."What a sweet little boy! Calling her pretty though it was the first time they met.Jessica raised a brow. "Aren't you a cutie pie?"She spoke as she handed the football back to the little boy.Just then, Lucas returned with an ice cream in his hand. The little boy licked his lips while watching from a distance.Jessica found it amusing and waved at the little boy, saying, "Come here."The little boy obediently ran over holding the football and said, "Miss Pretty.""Wanna eat ice cream, huh?"The little boy nodded and then shook his head. "No."Although he said "no", his eyes betrayed him.Jessica clicked her tongue and asked again, "You sure?"The little boy didn't say anything this time, only swallowing hard.Jessica pointed to Lucas beside her and said, "If
The two walked to a nearby restaurant for lunch. On the way back, they stopped at the zebra crossing to wait for the light. The interval was a bit long, about 100 seconds. "How about playing a little game?" Jessica was curious. "What kinda game?" "Guess whether the number of the white stripes on this zebra crossing is odd or even." Jessica instinctively glanced down and asked, "Is there a reward if I win?" "Sure." Jessica arched her brow and said, "Then what if I lose?" "When we cross the street, you're gonna give me a kiss." Jessica looked up at Lucas, figuring it was indeed something he could come up with. She shot a glance at the zebra crossing and said, "I guess it's even." "Then I guess it's odd." While they were talking, the red light across the street turned green. They exchanged a glance and both silently counted the white stripes. "11, 12, 13, 14, 15—" Once they crossed over, Jessica announced triumphantly, "And the last one, 16! It is an even number. You lost, L
Jessica was shocked by what Wendy had said. Five years ago, it could be said to be a farce. But if Oscar did have something to do with Justin's death, it was murder. Jessica realized how serious the whole thing was. She had instructed Wendy to gather more evidence and then hurriedly returned home. Jessica finished reading the report Wendy had given her, and she felt that Wendy's guess was reasonable. For the sake of certainty, Jessica called Wendy, asking her to share the report with Vincent. Jessica sat in the living room, carefully thinking about the whole thing. She always felt that Luna wanted to marry Lucas simply for the sake of the wealth of the Thomas family. Unlike Oscar, Luna wouldn't have gone as far as murdering. Luna wouldn't risk going into prison. If she did end up in prison, she wouldn't be able to enjoy a luxurious life. Therefore, it was very likely that Luna had been used by Oscar. When Jessica thought of t
Jessica took out a small box from the drawer and there was a necklace inside. It was the necklace that Jessica found when she returned to that room five years ago. She had always thought it was Lucas'. Yet she later learned it belonged to Terry. Ever since she found out that the necklace was Terry's, she had never brought it with her anymore. She kept it in the box. Now that she looked at the necklace and had a new doubt. Why would Terry's necklace appear in that room? She checked the time before she called Terry. Terry was very happy when he received Jessica's call. She rarely took the initiative to call him. Jessica invited him out for dinner, and the two of them arrived at a steakhouse not far from the Hall Group. When Terry arrived, Jessica was already sitting in the reserved seat. He looked at Jessica's back, and a feeling of longing surged in his heart. He quickly walked over and looked at Jessica with a smile. "
Oscar stood up and walked to Lucas' table. "When I become the CEO of Thomas Group, I'd love to arrange some new work for you." "Is that so?" Lucas sneered. "Get this project done first. As far as I know, there were casualties in your first joint project with the Davison Group. If Terry weren't that eager to go against me, he wouldn't have given any project to someone like you who has no competence at all." Oscar was utterly irritated. He hated it when others said that he had no competence at all. However, Lucas was now the CEO of the Thomas Group. If he beat Lucas now, Lucas would directly drive him out of the company. He had not gotten the Thomas Group yet, so he could not make a move driven by impulse. Yet the contempt in Lucas' eyes was like a sharp knife, stabbing at his sore point. Oscar took a step back, looked at Lucas, and sneered after taking a deep breath. He said, "Have a good time now. You don't get everything. If
Although Terry rejected Oscar's request, he did give Oscar some new projects. However, compared to the projects in the northland, these projects were really not enough. In the recent company executive meeting, the number of people supporting Oscar had obviously decreased, and even the executive who had a relationship with Louis lost his confidence in Oscar. This made Oscar even more annoyed. He called Terry again. He had to reach Jessica through Terry. "If you don't help me, I will go to the Hall Group myself. It's not like I don't know what she looks like," Oscar said bitterly. "If you go to her, I will immediately suspend all the cooperation with you." Jessica was Terry's bottom line. Terry wouldn't make any compromise. After hanging up the phone, Oscar angrily pushed everything on the table to the ground, and then slammed the coffee cup. The sound of the cup shattering came from his office. Oscar sat in his chair wi
Jessica looked at Lucas. For the first time, Jessica didn't feel offended by Lucas' indifferent attitude. All of a sudden, she seemed to have understood what his attitude was about. She understood that his attitude was just a disguise. In the past, Jessica thought it was his arrogance. After all, he seemed to have owned the whole world back then. "I didn't expect that," Jessica said calmly. "I never wanted anyone to replace you. It's just I hate it when others are plotting against my family. I believe you feel the same." "Then what is this conversation about?" Lucas felt bitter. Even his voice became hoarse. "I don't think you need me to teach you what to do. You are not a person who will willingly accept failure." Jessica paused for a moment before she spoke. "But I have to accept it when it comes to you," Lucas said peacefully. The arrogant man finally admitted his failure in love. Jessica didn't feel the pleasure of revenge at al
Jessica was confused, but she didn't call Terry directly. She knew that if she called Terry, he would immediately tell her what his relationship with Oscar was. But now, she didn't know if she could believe what Terry would say. After getting off work, Jessica and Hannah came to Mona's nightclub together. Caesar and Lance were there today. The few of them chatted together. Jessica had to drive back by herself, so she only ordered a glass of alcohol-free juice. "Jessica, that Oscar seems very active recently. Do you know him?" No one from the Thomas Group and Thomas family had appeared in their topic for a long time, and after Caesar asked this question, the others all stared at Jessica. "To be honest, I didn't know this person before," Jessica shrugged. "Lucas' father has been living outside and he has a child. That's all I know." Jessica wasn't lying. She felt that Olivia and Rebecca should know something, but they wou
Oscar knew that Lucas would definitely look down on him, but he did not care. With the help of Louis, he had already obtained a management position in the Thomas Group. "How is it, Oscar?" Louis followed Oscar to his office. Every time he saw his kid with Amanda, he felt proud. Louis found himself useful. He just helped his son get a position. Oscar turned to look at Louis, and the corners of his mouth curled into a self-mocking smile. "Dad, you have to know that the entire Thomas Group will finally fall into our grip." "What are you talking about, Oscar!" Louis panicked when he heard that. He then hurriedly looked around to see if anyone was listening. "Dad, what are you nervous about? You are grandpa's only son. The Thomas Group should have been yours." "That may be true, but the Thomas Group is in your brother's hands now," Louis said awkwardly. Louis wanted to make money, but he also knew he was not capable enough to run the Tho
