Chapter 5

  • Three years ago, for the sake of Lucas, Jessica had left New York, where her parents lived.
  • Now that Lucas and Jessica were done, she didn't want to stay in LA anymore.
  • However, before leaving, she had to send the divorce gift she had prepared, so she said to Hannah, "You can get someone to send out the audios I sent you."
  • Hannah said excitedly, "No problem, I've been waiting for you to say that. Wait for me, I'll make a call now. Let's go back to New York together tonight!"
  • "Aren't you having fun here with Mona?" Jessica asked, surprised to hear her say that.
  • "I haven't been back to New York in years, either, and my parents miss me." Hannah waved her hand.
  • Jessica knew that a girl like Hannah, who was brought up in a rich family, didn't need to worry about money at all. The reason why Hannah opened a studio in LA is to be here with Jessica. Jessica was touched by what Hannah had done for her.
  • At eight in the evening, Jessica and Hannah arrived at the airport and boarded a plane to New York.
  • At the same time, a well—known reporter from the Los Angeles Times released a video on YouTube. The video showed how Jessica and Trissy falling downstairs at Thomas' family banquet.
  • In the video, Jessica didn't even touch Trissy at all. It was Trissy with a smug smile on her face who walked up the stairs herself, and she dragged Jessica down too before she fell. Their conversation could be heard clearly as well.
  • "Trissy, please don't send any messages to Lucas late at night. He's my husband."
  • "Only legally. He is in love with ME. But you don't have to worry. I will make him leave you.
  • "As long as I tell Lucas that you pushed me, the Thomas family will believe me. Your explanation will be useless. Do you know why? Don't you know who you are? Do you think a ordinary person is qualified to be a member of the Thomas family?"
  • As soon as the video and audio were released, the entire social network was boiling. The scandal in the Thomas family was still among the hottest topics, yet a reversal then came. People were all shocked.
  • Lucas's assistant hurried to report to Lucas, who was in a meeting with senior leaders.
  • The managers sitting below could clearly feel Lucas's distraction. They dared not make a sound, afraid that any misstep might anger Lucas. Their anxiety persisted until Lucas's assistant knocked on the door and whispered something in Lucas's ear.
  • "Why can't it wait until after the meeting?" Lucas's voice came out cold.
  • "It's... it's about your wife," the assistant nervously said.
  • Lucas heard this and signaled for the meeting to pause.
  • "What is it? Is she coming back to beg me? Does she realize where she went wrong?"
  • The assistant became even more nervous, realizing that the boss had misunderstood.
  • He hesitantly handed his phone to Lucas, who casually opened the video. However, as he watched, his expression darkened.
  • After watching the video, Lucas remained silent at his table with a grim face.
  • "Where is Jessica?" he finally asked.
  • "Boss, I'm sorry, but we can't find your wife."
  • "How is it possible not to find her? Where could a woman from the countryside possibly go?"
  • "Go and find her! Search every corner until you find her!" Lucas exploded in anger. He was furious with Jessica.
  • She had evidence, yet she chose not to tell him!
  • She would rather divorce him with misunderstandings unresolved than explain and reconcile with him.
  • Well done, Jessica.
  • Then, Lucas' secretary told him that Jessica emptied her Twitter, leaving only one tweet, saying "Happy divorce to you!"
  • Jessica announced their divorce in such a way, especially after the truth comes out. How ironic! It made the Thomas family ridiculous.
  • The atmosphere in the office was so depressing that people even found breathing hard. Lucas, who was sitting at the desk, wore a grim face.
  • "Remove it now!"
  • "I'm sorry, Mr. Thomas. I've already contacted the public relations company. It can't be removed." The secretary felt nervous.
  • Well done, Jessica!
  • With a stern face, Lucas reached for his phone. He was about to call Jessica when his phone suddenly rang.
  • Has this woman finally realized her mistake?
  • Lucas quickly picked up the phone, his expression softening slightly.
  • "Are you going to apologize?"
