Claiming Her Back

Chapter 30

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 me, I have to go.”

Lucas said sorry, but his expression was not the least bit apologetic.

Vincent froze for a moment. By the time Vincent came back to his senses, Lucas had already left.

Vincent apologized and explained to the others. He rushed to follow Lucas after seeing them wave

graciously.

Lucas was tall, and his legs were long. Within ten seconds or so, he was at the elevator door.

Vincent suddenly called out when he saw that the elevator was slowly opening. “Mr. Thomas!”

Lucas in the elevator glanced at Vincent, frowned and impatiently pressed the elevator’s open button.

“Mr. Thomas…”

Vincent entered the elevator and sensed that Lucas was in a foul mood. The atmosphere became

gloomy.

He wanted to say something, but all he could do now was stand silently to the side and not say a word.

“Vincent.”

Lucas’ words broke the silence.

“Mr. Thomas.” Vincent straightened his back.

“Have you ever been in love?”

Vincent froze for a moment and said, “I was in love once in college. But she and I broke up after

graduation.”

“How long did she find a new boyfriend?”

Vincent came to his senses. He looked at Lucas and hesitated to tell the truth.

Lucas obviously didn’t want to hear Vincent’s answer. “It was Jessica. She said she liked me a lot, but

she got together with another man six months after she divorced me.”

How ridiculous!

It was 6:00 p.m. Wendy knocked on the door and said to Jessica, “The dinner will start at 6:30 p.m.,

MS. Hall.

Jessica looked up at Wendy and gently rubbed her temples. “Okay.”

Jessica turned her computer off, grabbed her handbag and walked out of the office.

Wendy waited outside the door. “Ms. Hall, should I call the driver?”

Jessica turned her head to Wendy and said, “No. We can drive there.”

“Okay, Ms. Hall.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

They walked to the parking lot on the basement first floor. Jessica stopped when she saw Wendy

following her. “You can drive your car.”

She was worried that Wendy wouldn’t be able to get home later.

Wendy froze, nodded and walked toward her car.

On the way, Wendy told Jessica about the representatives from Hidden Hills.

Bryan Gordon, the mayor of Hidden Hills, and Robert Berlinge, the village head of Spring Valley

Village, would be present at the dinner.

According to Wendy’s investigation, Bryan led some of the villagers to sign the compensation

agreement.

However, Bryan was also the leader who offered to break the contract. So Bryan was tough, too, and

he was a good judge of character.

Jessica smiled. “He’s smart.”

She liked to negotiate with intelligent people.

Wendy replied and introduced Robert, “Robert didn’t seem to do anything in the progress, but he

actually got ‘Brian to change his mind.”

“Interesting.” Jessica smiled.

The red light ahead started flashing. Jessica probably got it and said, “I see. Okay, Wendy. Got to go

now.”

“Okay, Ms. Hall. I’ll see you later.”

“See you later.”
