"Miss Hall, a call from reception said that a lady was looking for you." Wendy walked to Jessica's desk and said.
That meant someone who came here without an appointment. So Jessica did not speak, waiting for Wendy to give her more details. Wendy looked at Jessica and smiled, saying, "It's Miss Cheek." Jessica felt a bit surprised to hear that. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Which Miss Cheek?" "The younger Cheek, Luna Cheek." Wendy paused for a moment and asked, "Miss Hall, do you want to see her now?" "Where is she?" "In the 11th guest room on the first floor," Wendy replied. Jessica picked up her phone and stood up with a subtle smile. "I don't think there's anything urgent for Miss Cheek to look for me. Why don't you let her rest in the guest room for some more time and we go for lunch now?" Jessica left the Hall Group directly with Wendy and found a restaurant to dine out. Luna's visit made JesJessica chuckled when she heard Luna's words. She really didn't see that coming. "Did I hear you right? What, Miss Cheek? Are you a marriage counselor now? But I still have to remind you that I have divorced Mr. Thomas." "No, Miss Hall." Luna waved her hands nervously as if she was afraid that Jessica would get her wrong. She continued, "I think there's a misunderstanding between the two of us." "Misunderstanding?" Jessica repeated the word slowly. She saw a flash of resentment in Luna's eyes. "Well, not precisely misunderstanding. I did something wrong and caused you some trouble because I was jealous of you. If you are still angry, I apologize to you." Luna put on her usual fragile and timid look again. "Miss Hall, Lucas shouldn't have married you to protect me. That was his fault. But it was in the past. You've been together for three years and there must have been a bond between you two. My family is far inferior to yours, Miss Hall, and Just
Luna raised her arm and pointed to the table. Jessica turned to look. The coffee cup at Jessica's side was indeed gone. And the empty cup on the floor was Jessica's. Seeing that Jessica was silent, Luna turned to Lucas. "Lucas, don't blame Miss Hall. She really didn't push me too hard. It was my problem. I'm too fragile after that car accident." "Why did Mr. Thomas suddenly come to our company? Are you here to save the beauty, big hero?" Jessica snorted as she looked at Lucas, whose face was stern and brows knitted. "Trissy called me." Lucas was working in his office when he received a call from Trissy. Trissy said anxiously that Luna planned to leave LA because she was not recovering well. And Luna wanted to do something for Lucas before leaving, so she had gone to Jessica herself. Trissy called Lucas and told him she feared that Luna would be bullied. After getting that call, Lucas immediately put down his work and drove to
"Lucas, did you see the photo I sent you? Terry went to a hotel with another woman and they were photographed. Did he give up on Jessica?" Lucas looked at the text. His golden eyes moved slightly, but he still did not send a reply. Lucas had just seen Jessica. He could tell that she was not affected by the gossip at all. Either Jessica didn't give a damn about Terry, or she trusted Terry very much. Either way, Lucas couldn't step forward to ask her about that. It would only worsen their relationship. After Jessica divorced Lucas, she disappeared from LA. When Jessica returned to LA again, she was already the general manager of the Hall Group. And just as Jessica began to show her charm, Terry suddenly appeared to announce his pursuit of Jessica. In the past few months, wherever Jessica appeared, Terry was beside her. Almost everyone in the upper—class society of LA believed that the playboy of the Davison family would e
Terry's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Other than Eden, Terry couldn't think of who it would be. A lot of women wanted to piggyback on him, but not all of them had the guts to do it. Therefore, Terry called his secretary and let him investigate the whole thing. Soon, Terry's secretary called him back. "Mr. Davison, the email came from a small entertainment company. The person in charge said that the photo was provided by a professional agent called Davy." Davy? Terry hung up the phone and recalled. He remembered that Grace's agent was called Davy. It couldn't be just a coincidence, right? Terry turned on his phone and found Grace's number. He immediately dialed the number. The call connected. Without waiting for Grace to speak, he asked, "Your agent was behind the gossip about me on Twitter, right?" Terry's tone sounded cold, and Grace could immediately tell that he was angry. So Grace chuckled. "T, don't be angry. You know
Terry gazed at Jessica for some time before he finally said, "She is not my girlfriend." Jessica felt a bit surprised to hear that at first. She then smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Davison, you really don't need to explain it to me." Terry also smiled. In silence, he stared straight at Jessica as if he wanted to see through her. Jessica felt a little uneasy under his scorching gaze. Jessica lowered her head slightly and said, "I'm still in the middle of something. I'll head out now. See you, Mr. Davison." Terry did not speak. He stood where he was and watched Jessica leave, drowned in his own thoughts. "What on earth do you want?" A man's voice cut in from behind Terry. Terry sneered when he turned and saw the man behind him. "I thought Mr. Thomas was a gentleman. I didn't expect you to eavesdrop on others." "You've been targeting me since high school. Whenever I want to develop a business, you'll interfere. Business is business, b
Justin looked a bit embarrassed when he heard Lucas. Justin then tossed a sharp glance at Olivia. "Olivia has been quite willful and always provoked Jessica. That was Olivia's fault. You don't need to worry about that. Marry Jessica again and leave Olivia to us." Justin looked at Olivia and said, "Last time, I only locked you up in the Black House for three days. If you stir up any trouble again, you'll see how hard your life can be." Olivia was very surprised and dissatisfied when Justin made her sound like a troublemaker. She wanted to refute, but when she heard Justin's warning, she lost the guts. She snorted and said, "I won't, grandpa." "Alright, Lucas, come with me." Justin stood up and said to Lucas. Lucas nodded to Rebecca and followed Justin to the study. Dwayne helped Justin to the sofa in the study and left. Lucas closed the door and walked to Justin. "What do you think about remarrying Jessica?" Lucas didn'
Jessica's birthday party was held at the Ritz—Carlton New York, Battery Park Hotel, a five—star triple—A hotel. The banquet was extremely grand. Jessica was wearing an ice—blue gown decorated with pearls, and the makeup on her face was exquisite. She walked up to Lucas and Terry with a smile. "Mr. Davison, Mr. Thomas, thank you for coming to my birthday party." Jessica put on a proper smile, both polite and distant. Lucas looked at Jessica. He felt a sting in his heart when he saw the distance in Jessica's bright eyes. Terry didn't seem to mind that. He raised his goblet and clinked it against Jessica's. "Miss Hall, you look stunning tonight." Jessica smiled. "Thank you." Lucas, who was standing over, only found the scene annoying. He tightened his grip on his goblet. Lucas tried to say something nice to Jessica, yet he just didn't have Terry's glib tongue. In the end, Lucas said nothing. Most o
Although Morgan didn't say much, the guests could still tell from the way Morgan looked at Jessica that he loved his daughter very much. Besides, the assets of the Hall family were priceless. It would be hard to tell how much money Jessica would possess. Morgan always protected his daughter well. No one had ever found out who Morgan's daughter was unless Jessica told them about her identity herself. Although some had made a guess, the guests still made some noise when they heard it from Morgan. "So she is Morgan's daughter. She is so beautiful, like a star." "What are you talking about? Miss Hall is much nobler than a star. Think about how much money she has now! Billions!" "I heard that Miss Hall is still single now? I wonder if she has any intentions to wed for business's sake." Discussions broke out among the audience. On such an occasion, everyone tried to say something nice. The smile on Morgan's face deepened. After he
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
