  It all happened in an instant. When Lucas had learned about what happened to Olivia, she had already been crying for quite a while in the lounge.

  The guests at the banquet today were all celebrities in the upper—class society of LA. They were business partners as well as acquaintances that also met each other at all kinds of parties. Thus, they naturally knew one thing or two about what Miss Thomas was like.

  Besides, how could a dress that was worth tens of thousands of dollars get cracked up so thoroughly?

  When Lucas heard it from Vincent, his face darkened.

  Hari didn't know what to do to help out Olivia, who seemed to be making a fool of herself all the time. Given Lucas' terrible mood, Hari chose to remain silent.

  Hari followed Lucas into the lounge.

  Olivia had changed into a new dress at this time, but she still had not calmed down. She was still sitting there and crying. She was so embarrassed today.

      Jessica did not expect Lucas to ask that. She subconsciously denied it. "No."  "But that illustration." Lucas paused, he realized that his previous attitude might have made Jessica get him wrong.  Lucas then softened his tone and went on, "Don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that the illustration looks similar to the portrait of me you drew."  "Mr. Thomas, have you read that story? That story is about a 14—year—old schoolgirl falling in love with a high school boy. It had nothing to do with our marriage," Jessica said calmly.  "Then why are the two pictures so similar?" Lucas asked again.  Jessica raised an eyebrow. She did not expect Lucas to see the subtle similarities in the two pictures. She looked up at Lucas.  Jessica knew that Lucas could see her through once she hedged.  "It's OK for you to deny it. I'm just asking. Don't mind me." Lucas didn't push Jessica.  "Since you have already had an answer, why did you even

      The next day after the banquet, the news of Olivia making a fool of herself at the banquet spread throughout the upper—class society of LA.  Justin soon found out about what had happened. As the head of the Thomas family, he could not stand the fact that the Thomas family had become a laughing stock.  Olivia had to face the mockery from those socialites and Justin's anger at the same time.  "If it doesn't go off the trending topic, your grandpa would look into it," Bailey, who was grounded at home, said to Olivia on the phone.  Bailey paused for a moment and then continued, "If only something more eye—catching would happen now. Then no one would pay attention to you."  Olivia, who had hung up the phone, thought about Bailey's words carefully. Finally, she gritted her teeth and made a call.  Ever since Megan found out about Jessica's identity, he didn't pick on Jessica anymore. Thus, Jessica's work at the LA branch had been quite smoo

      Hannah was dumbfounded by Jessica's words. She looked at Jessica and asked, "Not Lucas? Then who?"  If Lucas hadn't done that, that meant Hannah had done two things wrong.  Yet Hannah decided not to haggle over it. Lucas was unarguably a bastard. He deserved the lesson.  Hannah comforted herself that way.  Jessica shook her head slightly. She had an answer in her heart, but before Wendy's investigation results came out, she did not want to say it.  Jessica looked at Hannah and sighed. "You're still so impulsive."  "When I heard Mr. Davison say it, I was so angry that I couldn't hold it in for a moment." Hannah also felt that she was a little reckless and stuck out her tongue.  After Hannah left, Vincent could only grimace as he looked at the ornaments that Hannah had broken on the ground. Miss Howell did have a temper.  Lucas sat in front of his desk as if he was unaware of the mess around him.  Lucas was still reviewing Hannah

      With that, Olivia's face darkened. Dwayne looked at Olivia and asked, "Miss Thomas, what happened to you?"  "Nothing, nothing. It's just that I'm not feeling so well now. I'll go back to my room." Olivia let out a tight laugh and quickly went upstairs to her room.  Olivia patted her chest with her hand, and after calming down a little, she called Bailey.  "Bailey, Jessica is coming to my home as a guest tomorrow. Do you think she has found out anything?" Olivia asked as soon as she got through the call.  "Did anyone see you when you met Jerry?" Bailey asked after pausing for seconds.  "No, I chose a restaurant which people of our kind won't choose," said Olivia as she recalled.  "Then what are you afraid of? Maybe she just wants to beg for forgiveness after reading the harsh comments."  Olivia thought Bailey made a fair point. She thus felt less worried.  The next day, in the evening, the whole Thomas family were sitting at the table

      When Jessica mentioned the name "Jerry," Olivia felt her heart racing with tension. She did not even dare to look at Justin.  Lucas had not returned home from his work, and Rebecca knew nothing about what Olivia had done. For a moment, Olivia did not know who to ask for help.  There was a mocking smile on Jessica's face as she looked at Olivia's pale face.  The dining room suddenly fell into a strange silence. A servant came into the dining room with the appetizer, fried foie gras with garlic and basil, at that time. She then put it on the table.  The fried foie gras emitted the fragrance of grease. Although Olivia had not had much that day because of her panic, she still acted as if she couldn't smell the fragrance of food in front of her at all.  Justin had been running the Thomas Group for so many years, so he had understood that it was Olivia who made Jessica slandered by the netizens now.  He was actually angry that Olivia always made things worse, but since Jessica was h

      Olivia immediately froze still when hearing Justin scold her. She looked at Rebecca pleadingly.  Rebecca also wanted to plead for Olivia, but when she found out how angry Justin was and how cold Lucas' face was, she didn't dare to say anything. After all, she was never important in the family.  "Dwayne, take Olivia back to her room. From today onwards, she's not allowed to leave the house!" Justin slammed the coffee cup heavily on the table.  He continued, "Also, cancel Olivia's annual dividend."  "Grandpa!" Olivia was just about to heave a sigh of relief when she knew that she would only be grounded, but she could not help but plead when she knew that her annual dividend was canceled.  Without the annual dividend, she only had 20 thousand dollars of monthly pocket money.  For ordinary people, this could be considered a large amount of money, but for socialites who often needed to go to social places, the money was too little.  This meant that Olivia could no longer buy those

      "Lucas, please, I promise that I will never harm Jessica again." Olivia cried and begged as two servants pulled Jessica's arms and dragged her out.   However, Lucas stood aside with a deadpan face. He just watched the servant drag Olivia out of the dining hall.   "Why? Lucas? Why are you partial to her? She's just your ex—wife! I am your sister!"   Olivia cried hard. Her cry lingered in the room. It did not fade until she was taken away from the villa.   Lucas waited until he could no longer hear Olivia's cry. He then said to Justin and Rebecca, "I'm going back to work. Have a good rest."   Then, Lucas called the driver to drive back to the Thomas Group. He wanted to be left alone.   When Lucas and Jessica had not divorced, every time he returned to the Thomas villa, Olivia would always say how Jessica bullied her. Yet Lucas never felt like looking into what had happened.   Sitting in the office, Lucas lit a cigar while watching the glamour of Los Angeles through the French wi

      Justin's heart skipped a beat when he heard Dwayne. He had a bad hunch. He frowned as he looked at Dwayne and asked, "What now?  Trissy looked at Dwayne with a probing gaze.  "Lucas had just released a statement under the name of the Thomas Group to clarify Miss Hall's scandal."  Justin's face darkened, so Dwayne hedged a bit before he went on, "The clarification admitted that Miss Thomas was the plotter..."  "Bastard! He's such an idiot!" Justin immediately knocked over the coffee cup in his hand when he heard this, and the loud noise attracted the attention of the restaurant waiter.  Justin took a deep breath and held back his anger. He lowered his voice and said to Dwayne, "Go home, call Lucas and tell him to move his ass back now."  "I see, Mr. Thomas." Dwayne sighed in his heart and quickly propped Justin up.  "Mr. Thomas, then I..." Trissy stood up as well. She looked at the documents on the table with a lingering gaze.  "Then, it seems that you don't need to be troubl

    After Hannah entered the room, she had originally planned to look at her phone for a while.I didn't expect that the person lay in bed and fell asleep in just a few minutes.When Kendall came out of the shower, Hannah was already fast asleep in bed.He sighed with relief, turned off the main light in the bedroom, and left only a night light.When he came back, he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long pants, and Hannah naturally couldn't see the wounds on his body.But at this time, after taking a shower, the scratches on the legs were quite shocking.He redischarged the water-soaked small wound, then picked a vibrating alarm clock and placed his phone under the pillow. After completing all of this, Kendall turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.In the November night of LA, the temperature was not high. Hannah was sleeping in her bed, and as soon as she got in, it became very warm.Kendall was afraid that the cold ai

    Kendall glanced at him with some dissatisfaction and said, "Take me home, are you deaf?"Marcelo laughed and said, "I'm not deaf, I'm just afraid that I might have misheard."He said, unable to help but click his tongue: "Weren't you just saying, let me ask Franco to open a hotel near the company for you, and get you some clothes? How come now, you suddenly want to go home and see your wife?""I was worried because she was alone."Kendall thought about that day when he received a call from Hannah. Although she didn't explicitly say it, he could sense that she was quite flustered because she had woken up and not seen him.He was only worried about scaring her, but he forgot that she was alone at home, so her mood must not have been good these days.As soon as he thought about it, he couldn't continue leaving her alone at home.And, including the days he was away on a business trip, he hadn't seen Hannah for six days.Marcelo had

    Kendall went on a business trip, and Hannah lived alone in such a big house, feeling empty."Do you want to stay at my place for a night? It's quite close to your company, it's only a ten-minute walk."When she said this, Hollis was very moved: "How many days is your husband on a business trip?""At least four or five days.""Mr. Hawthorne was courageous to start a business at this time."Hollis paused and said, "Do you want me to accompany you these few days?"Hannah thought for a moment, "Well, it's also quite boring to have dinner alone at night."Hollis smiled and looked at her, "You never used to say that eating alone is boring, it's true that you're a married person!"Hannah smirked slightly, "I didn't used to think eating alone was boring.""I understood, I understood!"After discussing, Hannah and Hollis returned to the apartment. Hollis packed clothes for a few days and followed Hannah home, holding a com

    Hannah was sleeping so deeply that she didn't even hear the sound of her phone ringing.Kendall quickly hung up the phone and brought out a thin blanket from the room, gently covering it over her.Having finished these tasks, he sat down on the side and looked at Hannah on the sofa, his gaze involuntarily shifting to the small belly under the thin blanket.The month was still early, and nothing could be seen.But at the thought of six months later, there would be a child, either like him or like her, coming into this world, Kendall's heart softened.He didn't sit on the sofa for long, as it was already late and he had to make dinner.Hannah helped tidy up the thin blanket, and only then did Kendall get up and walk to the kitchen to make dinner.When Hannah woke up, she found that the living room had already become dim.She had just woken up and looked at the dimness in front of her, feeling a sudden panic in her heart.B

    When it was opened, it was discovered that there was actually a beautiful glass bottle inside, and the glass bottle was filled with golden beans.Hannah raised an eyebrow, recalling a few years ago when Hollis told her that she was saving gold coins as a retirement fund.This full glass bottle, with Hollis' salary, had to be saved for over a year by scrimping and saving.Hollis' parents wanted her to marry a wealthy second-generation individual who was a suitable match for her social status. However, she was not willing, so she decided to go out and work on her own.The salary is not low either, it's over two hundred thousand a year, and if you're lucky, you can make three hundred thousand a year.After she graduated from university, she insisted on working and did not want to listen to the arrangements from her family.Two years ago, her parents found that she seemed to have "grown wings" and they stopped her card.I have to say, in

    Hannah hugged Kendall tightly and leaned in his arms for a while before speaking, "I just woke up and didn't see you, it felt a bit strange."Hannah has always been carefree and easygoing. It was only a short while after they separated that she started thinking about him, and this was the first time it had happened.Kendall looked down at the person for a moment and said, "I will tell you before we go out next time."Hannah nodded and glanced out of the window, "Is it very hot outside?"Although it was already October, the sun outside still looked like it was July or August."Not very hot, do you want to go out?"She shook her head and said, "No, I just saw such a big sun and got curious."The two of them sat on the sofa for a while, and Kendall asked her if she wanted to eat some fruit."What did you buy?""We all bought some."He said and got up, entering the kitchen.Soon, Kendall came out carrying a fru

    "Okay."Hannah subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch, but halfway through, she remembered that her hair conditioner was sticky and uncomfortable, so she put her raised hand back down.She leaned directly into the arms of the person behind her, and the hair conditioner on her hair rubbed directly onto Kendall's neck.Hannah saw it and felt a sense of joy after the prank, so she deliberately bumped into it a few more times.Kendall looked down at her, not saying anything, with a smile in his peach blossom eyes.Hannah felt a little embarrassed as he looked at her, and she cleared her throat and stood up, saying, "I went to take a shower.""Wasn't it said to wait for ten minutes?"He reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, then lowered his head and bit her lip.Hannah felt pain and raised her hand to touch her lips, saying, "What are you doing?""I kissed my wife, do you have any objections?""Are yo

    In the past, Jaylen always left some room due to Konnor's face.Now, the older generation of both families has passed away, leaving only the elders of their generation. Naturally, Jaylen is the one who has to protect his daughter.Moreover, Blaine, as a father, was also incompetent.Blaine turned red and trembled as Jaylen's words hit him. After a moment, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, gritting his teeth, "No matter what, I am still his father!""It's hard to say, when a father doesn't act like a father, it's normal for the son to disown him.""Jaylen! Wasn't your comment too harsh?""Was it excessive?"Jaylen looked directly at Georgia, who glanced at Blaine and said, "It's not excessive."Some people, when they were sons, did not act like good sons. When they were husbands, they did not act like good husbands. When they were fathers, they did not act like good fathers. Now that they are old, they still want to rely on

    Kendall carried the sleeping Hannah down the stairs from the banquet hall.As soon as he entered the lobby, Blaine's face turned pale and he quickly walked towards Kendall.Kendall stopped in the middle of the lobby, carrying Hannah on his back.In just a few seconds, Blaine walked up to him and raised his hand, slapping Kendall.However, the slap did not land on Kendall's face, as it was intercepted by Jeffrey's mother who had arrived: "What are you doing?"Jeffrey's mother watched as Blaine slapped him, feeling a sense of overwhelming fear.It has only been over half a year since Konnor passed away, and his will is still in Caiden's possession.
