  "I don't know what you are talking about!" Olivia retorted as she felt that Rebecca was gazing over with confusion in her eyes.  Jessica was not in the mood to argue with Olivia. She threw the tissue into the trash can and left the restroom.  Coincidentally, Jessica saw Lucas after moving only a few steps.  Because of what Olivia had said, Jessica did not want to talk to Lucas.  Lucas watched as Jessica passed by. He felt irritated when Jessica ignored him once again. He said coldly, "Jessica."  Jessica halted and tilted her head slightly to look at Lucas. "What can I do for you, Mr. Thomas?"  Unlike before, Jessica's eyes were icy cold when she looked at Lucas now. Lucas felt upset about it.  "Terry pursued you because of me. Please stay sober."  Sober? Jessica felt that her least sober moment was when she decided to marry Lucas three years ago.  "Thanks for your reminder, Mr. Thomas. But we have divorced now. I hope you and your family can stay away from me."  Jessica th

  Since Terry beat Jessica on horseback, Jessica agreed to attend the event as his plus—one.  After that, Terry didn't pester Jessica. Instead, he rode away on his horse.  Hannah caught up with them. She clicked her tongue as she saw Terry off. "What exactly is going on between the two of you?"  "No biggie. I was racing with him and I lost." Jessica looked at Hannah and said flatly.  "No way! You are the student of a horsemanship champion. How could you lose?" Hannah widened her eyes in disbelief.  "There is always someone better." As Jessica spoke, she suddenly recalled the way Terry gazed at her. Her mind was somehow muddled with emotions.  After lunch, Jessica and Hannah went shopping together.  Hannah dragged Jessica to a luxury fashion shop. When Hannah showed her VIP card, the salespeople all came over, eager to serve them.  Suddenly, a snide female voice chimed in. "Who on earth is there? What a pomp!"  Jessica found the voice familiar. She thus couldn't help but look

  Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Jessica watched with a faint smile as the salesgirls cut the price tags and packed up the clothes before handing them to Ellie.  Only then did Jessica say to Hannah, "Let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to buy a Dior bag?"  Before leaving, Jessica even asked Ellie and Zancy, "By the way, ladies, would you like to come with us? You can buy all the bags I fancy and make my shopping trip end fruitless. That's gonna annoy me so much."  Zancy hurried to stop Ellie. "We have an appointment later. We are not as idle as you."  With that, Zancy and Ellie hurriedly left with a pile of clothes.  As soon as they left, Hannah couldn't help but laugh. "OMG, they are so stupid."  "What a pity! Why didn't Miss Brown go on playing the hyper—rich girl? I could have picked a dozen bags for her," said Jessica with a snort.  Hannah held Jessica's arm with a smile. "That's my smart girl."  Jessica raised her eyebrows. She had always been a smart girl.  Th

  Jessica came to the event only because of the bet. She wasn't interested in anything at the auction.  Terry remained quite silent as well. It seemed that nothing had caught his attention, either.  Yet Terry kept gazing at Jessica. His Terry was impossible to ignore and thus made Jessica quite uneasy. She then turned around and asked, "Anything you fancy?"  "Sure."  Terry narrowed his deep eyes. He picked up the bottled water, slowly unscrewed the cap, and took a sip. With a sly smile, Terry turned to Jessica. "But the one I fancy cannot be bought."  Jessica could tell the suggestive meaning behind Terry's words, yet she pretended not. "That's a pity."  "What about Miss Hall?"  Terry asked as he fiddled with the bidder card in his hand.  Jessica was about to say no when a painting on the wall caught her attention.  "That Frida Kahlo's artwork looks nice," said Jessica.  Morgan had a collection of Frida Kahlo's paintings. Jessica knew that Morgan would love the painting when

  The auction had come to an end. Lucas was the bidder of the night. He first bought a painting for 2 million dollars and then another for 35 million dollars.  Hari also believed that Lucas acted kind of like a super—rich sucker tonight.  Hari tried to tell Lucas that the paintings were not worth the money spent, yet he chose to shut up when he saw Lucas' grim face.  After the auction was over, the four of them met at the stairs.  Hari greeted Jessica, "Jessica!"  Jessica smiled faintly and responded, "Mr. Hartley."  Jessica nodded and then left with Terry.  Lucas watched them off. His golden eyes darkened. He then left the venue as well.  Terry's black Rolls—Royce was quite eye—catching. Jessica got into the car and found that Terry was gazing at her.  Jessica looked at Terry doubtfully, only to hear the man chuckle and say, "Not bad."  "I'm sorry?"  Terry didn't explain but slowly drove out. "Are you hungry now?"  Jessica didn't take Terry's response seriously. "Not real

  Justin walked in with a stern face. He was not happy to see Jessica at all.  Sitting in her chair, Jessica raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Thomas, what do I owe you?"  "It has only been a few months since we last met, yet you have already forgotten all the rules of the Thomas family. You didn't even serve me any coffee."  Jessica chuckled when she heard what Justin said. "This place is not a café. If you want any coffee, you should go to Starbucks. There happens to be one nearby. Go downstairs, turn left, and walk 200 meters. You'll see it. Coffee is served there."  "Jessica! You have no respect for your elders, and you have no proper manners at all. You have been disgracing the Thomas family out there. I'm gonna..."  "Mr. Thomas, you seem to have forgotten that I've already divorced Lucas."  Jessica's lips curled up when she spoke, yet her eyes weren't smiling at all. "This is my workplace. If you have nothing specific to say, please leave now. If you do, please say it bl

  When Olivia's friend came to her senses, she asked the waiter to bring her a towel.  The mango juice on Olivia's face flowed down her neck and soaked her sweater. Olivia stood there, looking extremely miserable.  Only then did Jessica let go of her hand. "If you don't want to continue embarrassing yourself, I advise you to leave now."  Olivia's eyes were red from anger, but looking at mango juice—sodden hair and clothes, she could only grit her teeth and leave with her friend.  As soon as Olivia left, Hannah said, "What's wrong with her? Trying to throw juice on people's face?"  Jessica had been through this many times in the past. She was quite familiar with Olivia's routine. Jessica glanced at Olivia and her friend and looked back at Hannah. "Who knows?"  People at the next table filmed the whole thing. Jessica knew about it when she and Hannah were in the Mona club.  The lights were dazzling and the music was deafening.  Hannah took a look at her phone and chuckled. "Hey,

 After getting Jessica's number, Keith returned to his seat. He gazed at the number on his phone.  A girl next to him wanted to start a conversation with him, but Keith's cold face was saying no to her.  Keith was at a class party. But he was dragged here, not of his own free will. Everybody could see it.  Keith stared at the number on the phone for a while. He decided to send a message over.  To Keith's surprise, he received a call just after he sent it. He got up and left the bar to take the call.  "Hi, you haven't told me your name."  "I don't know you are hitting on girls in the club. Good for you."  Hearing the voice on the other side of the phone, Keith was thunderstruck. "Cousin Terry?"  Terry snorted, "You recognize me! Tell me, which girl are you hitting on?"  Then, Keith told Terry what had just happened in embarrassment. And he didn't forget to add in the end. "It's my first time asking for a girl's number."  But he never knew that the number he got was his own co

  Terry glanced at the man's slippers and frowned. "I was wondering if this man and Ms. Hall had a good relationship."  Jessica smiled and turned to the kitchen, pouring two cups of coffee. She said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Davison."  She hadn't expected Keith to call so soon.  Terry took the cup. "It's okay. You're my future girlfriend, and I don't mind using my rights in advance."  He paused for a moment. "Don't worry. It's okay. I'm even glad about it."  Terry had his coffee and said he had to go.  Jessica slumped back on the couch. She saw the door that Terry had closed and raised an eyebrow. A moment later, she walked into her room.  Terry was actually a very genteel man.  Jessica took a shower and sent a text message to Hannah. After that, she turned off the light and fell into a deep sleep.  The next day, Jessica woke up before the alarm went off.  The bedroom was pitch black. She glanced at the curtains and found it was still dark. It was not yet dawn.  Jessic

  Hannah sent a few more texts to Jessica, but Jessica didn't reply.  The trending topic that Terry went to Jessica's place last night only existed for a few hours before it was deleted.  However, many people saw it. The upper class people in LA were talking about whether Terry and Jessica were in a relationship or not.  When it came to Jessica and Terry, Lucas was inevitably mentioned.  Lucas had some connection with them all. One was his ex—wife, while the other was his rival.  "Jessica is so amazing. It's only been six months since she and Mr. Thomas divorced, right? Honestly, I'm a little jealous."  "As much as I'd like to say Terry is a playboy, I'm also a little jealous after I think about Terry and the Davidson family behind him."  Two luxuriously dressed women were chatting in the hallway outside the restroom.  Lucas overheard their conversation. He lit a cigarette in annoyance and turned to leave.  He walked into the booth and grabbed his coat from the seat. "Excuse
