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?"
