Chapter 229
Chapter 229
Jessica looked at the suitcase that Terry had given her. After hesitating for a moment, she still carried the suitcase and went in.
Jessica saw the way Terry had just looked at her. His eyes were red. She could read helplessness and pain in his eyes as if he was a child who had done something wrong, not knowing how to make up for it.
Jessica couldn't bear to see him like that, but her heart was indeed a mess now.
Jessica lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and closed the door.
Jessica sat on the sofa for a long time and she felt that she was a little too cruel to Terry.
She put her hand on her eyes and leaned against the sofa. She then fell asleep.
After some time, Jessica was woken up by her ringing phone.
She froze a bit and then got up from the sofa. She saw the caller's number. It was Wendy calling, reminding her of a meeting to attend.
Jessica rubbed her head and answered the phone. “Wendy, I'm sorry. I'm in the middle of some private matters. Let's postpone the meeting to the afternoon.”
Wendy heard Jessica's voice. Although Jessica's voice was a little low, she seemed to be fine. Wendy was relieved. “Okay.”
After hanging up, Jessica threw her phone aside and accidentally touched the suitcase next to her. It was a wedding gift from Terry. Jessica raised her eyebrows, dragged the suitcase over, and opened it.
As soon as the suitcase was opened, several neat stacks of cash slipped into her hands.
Jessica froze for a moment. When she reacted, she couldn't help but smile.
Terry was indeed generous!
Jessica spent an entire morning sorting out her emotions. Yet no results had been achieved.
But still, Jessica found some comfort..
She knew that no matter what happened next, Lucas and she would never have their paths crossed in the future, given what she was about to do.
When Jessica had just arrived at the company in the afternoon, Wendy knocked on the door and came in. She looked at her and hesitated. “Miss Hall?"
Both the Thomas family and the Thomas Group had already announced that Jessica and Lucas were getting married. And they simply made zero response to whether Luna was pregnant or not. Jessica had already seen the news on the way to the company since Hannah, the gossiper, sent Jessica the news once it was released.
At first, Hannah thought it was fake news. She was so angry that she even cursed Lucas and Thomas for a few minutes. When Jessica finished reading the announcement and confirmed it, Hannah was stunned.
Jessica found it hard to explain. This whole thing was too complicated, and she didn't really believe Hannah could keep a secret, so she said nothing about her plan. She just asked Hannah to wait and see.
Wendy had the same reaction as Hannah when Jessica confirmed the news. Jessica knew what Wendy was curious about.
Jessica smiled. “It's true, but you don’t have to do anything.”
Hearing that, Wendy was surprised. “Miss Hall, but...”
Jessica knocked on the table with a pen and stopped the topic. “Have you booked the plane ticket yet?"
Wendy paused a bit before she nodded and said, “Yes. Four o'clock, tomorrow afternoon.”
"Good, thanks.”
“Miss Hall...
Deep down, Wendy was still shocked by the news that Jessica was about to remarry Lucas. — Jessica looked at her. “It's not wise to remarry him, is it?"
Wendy was seen through, so she did not deny it. “Miss Hall, the Thomas family is not a good choice.”
“l know that.”
Jessica smiled, speaking very indifferently.
For a moment, Wendy didn’t know what to say. “Then why are you...”
Jessica looked at her and snorted. “Wendy, you have been with me for more than eight months, right? Don't you know what kind of person I am? By the way, have you found out what happened to Luna and Trissy?".
Jessica talked about two things at one time. Wendy had to react fast to follow her train of thought. She handed over the report she was about to give Jessica.
Jessica took the report over and flipped through it. She nodded in contentment. “Thank you, Wendy.”
Jessica looked up and saw Wendy still hedging to say something. Jessica couldn't help but laugh. “Don’t worry. I'm not that stupid.”
Hearing that, Wendy let out a sigh of relief. “Miss Hall, you deserve someone better.”
Jessica laughed. “Someone better? Terry?”
