Chapter 3

"Really? Where is my phone?" Jessica took a sip of milk and took over her phone, handed over by Hannah. Jessica logged in to Twitter and started swiping. The top of the trending topics was about Jessica pushing Trissy downstairs at Justin's annoucement banquet. Jessica swiped her phone and read the comments casually. Almost all were scolding Jessica for being vicious. And some people exposed Jessica's ordinary background, saying Jessica was not worthy of a rich person like Lucas. Some even assumed that Jessica might have played some tricks to marry into such a wealthy family. The public was particularly interested in the scandal of the rich families while Trissy happened to enjoy exposing her life to the public. This made the Thomas family almost become a second Kardashian. "Jessica, don't be sad because of these harsh comments." Hannah comforted Jessica. "Sad?" Jessica smiled. She then took out a document from her bag and handed it to Hannah, "Take a look." Hannah opened the folder in confusion and realized it was a divorce agreement. She looked at Jessica in surprise and quickly browsed through the contents of the document. "Sweetie, why did you give up on the alimony? Lucas should pay it!" "I don't care about the money. Come on, get the car key and we'll go to Lucas' office later." Jessica finished the milk in one gulp and walked into the bathroom with her cosmetic bag. Three years had passed and Jessica didn't want to wait for Lucas anymore. An hour later, Jessica walked directly into the Thomas Group's office building in Los Angeles with the divorce agreement. Lucas, who was sitting in his office, was also informed of Jessica's arrival by his secretary. Jessica walked directly to Lucas' office in her high heels. She knocked on the door and pushed it open before the door was answered. She casually threw the document on Lucas' desk and said, "Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, we'll go through the divorce procedures. I hope you will be there on time," without the gentle tone all along. With that, Jessica turned around and left without hesitation. Sitting at his desk, Lucas saw Jessica off. His eyes gradually darkened. He reached out and took the divorce document. Jessica had already signed it. The regulations on it were very clear that Jessica had given up on any property of Lucas, including the alimony. Lucas couldn't help but sneer. That woman wanted nothing? How could Jessica be so assertive? Or perhaps Jessica was just pretending, trying to make Lucas feel that she didn't give a damn about his money? Lucas decided to see if Jessica was really going to divorce him the next day or if she was just playing some tricks. Jessica left the office building in a great mood. She originally thought that she would be sad when the two of them had to part ways, but she was surprisingly calm. Perhaps Jessica had been disappointed too many times. Now that she had decided to part with Lucas, she felt more than relieved. Jessica walked to the car and knocked on the window. Hannah was answering the phone, and when Hannah saw that it was Jessica, she hurriedly opened the door. "Who is that?" Jessica got in the car and fastened her seat belt, then she raised an eyebrow at Hannah. "Caesar and Lance, I'll tell them the good news, you're free now, and we can get together more often from now on." "That's for sure." Jessica smiled. At this time, Jessica's phone also rang, she glanced at the phone screen, it was an unfamiliar call. Jessica picked it up with some confusion. "Hello, Miss Hall, I am Mr. Hall's assistant Wendy. I will be your assistant from today onwards." A gentle woman's voice came from the other side of the phone. Jessica froze for a few seconds before saying to the phone, "Did Daddy ask to call me?" "Yes, Mr. Hall said that you are welcome home anytime." When Jessica heard Wendy's words, her eyes instantly moistened. Three years ago, Jessica was determined to marry Lucas. Her parents and friends were all against it, but Jessica insisted on it. She believed that if she treated Lucas sincerely, she would be treated the same way in return. Yet in the end, the past three years only proved how wrong Jessica is. It turned out that Lucas married her not because he loved her, or he admired her, but because Jessica was Lucas' second choice when Trissy was not an option. Thinking of that, Jessica's tears finally flowed down.
