Jessica glanced at Terry. "Do you think I'm silly?" "Let me take a look." With that, he approached her. Jessica subconsciously leaned back. She didn't feel pain in the back of her head, which was different from what she had expected. Terry grabbed the back of her head. She bumped into his palm, and it was soft. At a close distance, Terry's brown eyes lost their usual indifference and smile. When he stared at her, his eyes were full of love. Just as Jessica was about to push him away, Terry had withdrawn his hand. "You are indeed a little silly." He sneered, "Is Lucas better than me?" Jessica liked Lucas, but she didn't like him. Jessica couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "He is more loyal than you." Although Lucas didn't love Jessica, Lucas was indeed a loyal person who loved Trissy with all his heart. It had only been half a year and he could not wait to bring Trissy back to the country. Lucas was deep in love with Trissy. Jessica smiled, and her e
"Are you surprised?" Terry raised his eyebrows and showed Jessica the takeaway warm milk. "You won't let me drink with you in the middle of the night, and you won't let me make you coffee in the morning either. Maybe we can have a midnight snack." Jessica was already hungry, and as soon as she lowered her head, she smelled the aroma of milk. She wanted to refuse, but her stomach growled and betrayed her. The sound gave the answer on her behalf. This was the first time Jessica felt so embarrassed. "Thank you," she said. If she insisted on saying no, she was being ungrateful. As she spoke, she moved sideways to let Terry in. However, Terry just put the milk on the porch beside him and said, "Drink it and sleep early." Then he paused and his brown eyes smiled. "Good night, my future girlfriend." With that, Terry waved her goodbye, then turned around and walked off into the corridor. Jessica was a little surprised. She watched until Terry disappeared around the corner.
Jessica started the car and drove to the Hall Group. At nine o'clock when she arrived, the meeting room was already stuffed. Jessica walked in her high heels and pushed the door open. Megan looked up at her with an unhappy expression and said, "Jessica is here. Let's begin." Jessica did not mind it. She was indeed late no matter what excuses she may have. Today's topic was the compensation for Spring Valley Village. Jessica was in charge of the project last night, and everyone could imagine the outcome. Although the negotiations didn't fail, the two representatives did not look very good when they left. That's why Megan picked on Jessica early in the morning. Jessica was never a pushover. As soon as Megan finished speaking with a cold face, she immediately said, "Mr. Bell, what you said is wrong. I have read the details of the compensation. For the sake of the amusement park, it is indeed not easy to avoid them for the project. "But early in February, the headquarters
Morgan laughed, "You should live Hannah's life. I'm not too old to earn money yet." Jessica snorted, "But I like to earn money." Jessica was not lying. When she was young, Morgan was afraid that she would be kidnapped, so the family of three lived in an ordinary house. In the eyes of her classmates, Jessica and her family were ordinary. Although Jessica had a lot of money when she was young, she did not earn it herself. Moreover, it was very strange for a girl coming from an ordinary family to have so much money. Later, to take it as a matter of course, she sold roses in the winter and summer vacation to earn money. She was beautiful and persuasive. Every night, she could sell dozens of roses. When she was in junior high school, she asked her uncle to send her a lot of beautiful clothes from New York. After school on Friday, she would set up a stall on the street near the school. At that time, Hannah had been following her, and the two managed to earn tens of thousan
The man, dressed in a suit, was about forty or fifty years old. But as a man of his age, he was still of proportional built. The watch on his wrist was a classic and limited model of Vacheron Constantin. There were only ten worldwide, and it was priced at more than 1 million dollars. Olivia said in disgust, "I don't know him. Maybe he is Jessica's sugar daddy. Jessica is rich now. She just said that 400,000 meant nothing to her..." "Does your brother know about it?" Trissy's words reminded Olivia of something. She fished out her phone quickly to take a few photos. "My brother doesn't know yet. I will tell him now!" Trissy averted her gaze onto Olivia and frowned slightly. "But Lucas divorced her. Your brother probably doesn't want to know about it." After that, Trissy added, "After all, Jessica was once Lucas' wife. It's better not to spread this out. Let's keep it a secret. If somebody else knows about it, it will disgrace her and the Thomas family too." Olivia though
Jessica sat up and drew back the curtains. The sky was not bright yet, and a tinge of light orange could be seen on the horizon. Jessica narrowed her eyes slightly and grabbed a sweater and put it on. Then, she wore a pair of soft, fluffy slippers and shuffled into the bathroom. After that, she turned on the speakerphone. "Many Instagram users have uploaded photos of us when we went out for dinner last night. In these picture, you and uncle Hall are holding hands. The people we met yesterday were none other than Olivia and Trissy. It's either Olivia or Trissy who took these photos." Jessica was brushing her teeth and didn't have time to respond. She just gave a vague answer. Hannah was just an onlooker in the beginning. She did not expect such a funny gossip about them early in the morning. The screenshots were sent to Hannah by Mona. Both of them were all killing themselves laughing. The person who spread the rumor that Jessica was kept by her father was a "talent". "Do
After lunch, Morgan and Jessica left the private room. Morgan still looked sullen. Jessica held his hand and said with a smile, "Dad, don't be so upset, please!" Morgan looked down at his beloved daughter and forced a smile. Seeing that, Jessica couldn't help but laugh. "It's such a fake smile." Then, Morgan was truly amused. "What can I say? At school, you would take revenge if someone bullied you. You have grown up but lost your spirits. Whatever you do, I'll protect you." Hearing Morgan's words, Jessica stopped smiling. "I'm an adult now. Of course, I can't be as impulsive as before." Morgan thought of the past. He started talking about Jessica's unruly life at school. As he spoke, Morgan forgot about the matter that made him upset. The father and daughter chatted happily. Jessica was still holding Morgan's hand. From a distance, they looked very intimate. People who knew them would compliment their good relationship. However, people who didn't know them might mis
Morgan was the CEO of the Hall's Group. Consequently, he was busy the whole day. It wasn't easy for him to ask his secretary to save a day to come over to LA to see his precious daughter, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Morgan still had an important dinner party tomorrow, so he had to go back to New York tonight. Otherwise, he would wait for Wendy to find out where the so—called "Sugar Daddy" rumor came from and then take Jessica to find the one who spread the rumor. Jessica had a business dinner tonight, so she couldn't send Morgan to the airport. Before Morgan left, he repeatedly asked Wendy to tell him at the first moment as soon as Wendy found out who started the rumor. Jessica promised again before Morgan got into the nanny van. After sending Morgan to the car, Jessica got into Wendy's car and was ready to go to the business dinner tonight. The winter was still cold in LA at the beginning of April, and the wind at night was a little fierce.
