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.
Jessica hadn't even finished speaking when a familiar male voice came from the side. Terry walked over to her. His brownish eyes curved slightly as he looked at Cedrick. "I'll pay one billion and I'll take her away, Mr. White." Jessica had been in the hall for more than ten minutes, but she hadn't met Terry. She thought that he hadn't come tonight. She didn't expect to meet him at this time. Cedrick could not afford to offend Terry, so he gritted his teeth and looked at Jessica before turning to leave resentfully. Jessica tilted her head and glanced at Terry. She raised her glass and smiled. "Thank you." "My pleasure." Terry raised his glass and lightly clinked it against the edge of hers, looking at her wryly. Terry took a sip of red wine. "Miss Hall, you seem to be in a good mood today." Jessica looked at him and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Kind of." After all, nothing particularly bad happened recently except for the rumors. However, Jessica would never allow
The conversation between the two women was clearly recorded. As soon as the recording was finished, the two women turned pale. They could afford to offend Jessica, but they could not afford to offend Terry. They also did not know why Terry took a fancy to Jessica. Terry had publicly declared that he wanted to pursue Jessica after she had just divorced for a few months. Now it looked like he wanted to protect her. They were right. After listening to the recording, Terry raised his eyebrows and clicked his tongue. "So this is how the Graves family and the Garraway family raised you?" They were from the same social circle. Even if Terry did not have any personal relationship with those two women, it was not difficult for him to recognize which family they were from. Tess Graves and Nina Garraway froze when they heard Terry's words. Jessica, who was standing next to Terry, looked at the two wryly. "Miss Graves and Miss Garraway, aren't you going to apologize to me?" Tess
The black car that Jessica was in was moving in the moonlight. She tilted her head and looked out of the window. Recalling what Lucas had said, she frowned slightly. Wendy called her softly, "Miss Hall?" Jessica came to her senses and then asked Wendy, "What's wrong?" "The rumormonger has been found." Wendy paused and glanced at Jessica before continuing, "It was Miss Thomas." It didn't surprise Jessica, who chuckled, "Olivia is marvelous!" Jessica smirked. Wendy didn't know what Jessica was thinking. "Should I tell Mr. Hall about it?" "Of course! Why not?" They bullied her again and again. Why should she continue to endure? "Got it, Miss Hall." Wendy sorted the evidence and sent it directly to Morgan's secretary. That night, Morgan's secretary called to report it to Morgan. When Morgan finished the call, he was so angry that he slapped the table. "This is too much. The Thomas family is going too far!" Mrs. Hall heard the news and came over. She didn't kn
Mrs. Hall saw their stealthy interactions and clicked her tongue. "Jess, the issue is not about you alone. Mom and dad don't just uphold justice for you. Don't be confused." Of course, Jessica knew it. She was just worried that they were tired from the flight. Now, it seemed that she was overthinking. Jessica laughed, "I'm not that stupid." May snorted and thought to herself, "If she is not stupid, why did she insist on marrying Lucas?" But Jessica was her daughter, so May could not bear to render her more wretched. "Let's go to the parking lot." Jessica led them to the parking lot. When she opened the door, she found that Morgan was carrying a box. She couldn't help but frown. "Dad, what's that?" "Nothing." Morgan waved his hand and bent down to get in the car following May. Jessica did not ask any more questions. Instead, she said to Wendy, "Wendy, let's go to Thomas' house." Wendy was stunned for a moment but soon reacted. The Morgan couple rushed over in a h
