Claiming Her Back

Chapter 171

Lucas’ eyes flicked after he heard Jessica’s words.

Lucas knew what was on Jessica’s report. Olivia was not connected to Grace, so Jessica couldn’t have

known that Olivia was involved in it.

Lucas remained silent, so Jessica asked, “What are you going to do, Mr. Thomas?”

Seeing how calm Jessica was, Lucas said, “Looks like you already know about Grace.”

Jessica nodded.

Lucas added, “Do you need me to clarify it?”

“Nope. An explanation will only look like a cover-up.” Jessica shook her head.

She paused and said, “I won’t let her get away.”

“Then I’ll head out now.” Lucas looked at Jessica. In the end, he didn’t mention Olivia’s part in the

whole thing to Jessica.

At that moment, Lucas found himself vile.

He was so righteous in the Thomas villa, but when he saw Jessica,’ he became timid again.

A peaceful talk between him and Jessica was a luxury to Lucas now. He didn’t dare to break the tran

quility.

Lucas felt scared at the thought that things between him and Jessica might return to what they were

before.

After Lucas left, Wendy returned to Jessica’s office.

“In three days, I’d like to see Miss Sandoval in a private room at Cloud Top. Before that, keep an eye

on her and don’t let her leave LA.”

Jessica was vengeful. She wouldn’t let go of anyone who harmed her.

Wendy nodded.

At dusk, Jessica stretched herself in her seat. Looking at the sky through the French window, Jessica

realized it was already late. She then packed her stuff up and was about to leave.

She stepped out of the company when she heard a familiar voice.

Jessica turned around. When she saw the person, she smiled and said, “Good evening, Mr. Davison.”

“Good evening, Miss Hall.” Terry smiled. “Last time I bummed off your pizza, so I’d like to return the fa

vor. I wonder if I will have the honor to treat you to dinner.”

“Sure.” Jessica agreed.

“What would you like to have?” Terry asked after getting into the car.

“Is there something particular you want to talk about? Then let’s choose a French restaurant. It’s quiet,”

said Jessica:

Terry looked at her and nodded. “Sure.”

When Jessica fastened her seatbelt, Terry started the car.

“y found out about what happened that night,” Terry said as he opened the door.

“So did I,” Jessica said, looking out of the window.

The car fell into silence. Neither talked on their way to the restaurant.

However, when the two of them arrived at the restaurant, Terry seemed to have forgotten what had

happened in the car.

Terry pulled out the chair for Jessica when she reached the table. When Jessica was seated, he hand

ed a menu to her. “Here’s the menu.”

Terry put on his usual bright smile again, as if what happened in the car was just Jessica’s illusion. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jessica drew a napkin and wiped the grease off the corner of her mouth as she looked for the right

words to say

Jessica hated stalling. She was decisive, and nobody could change her decisions.

After wiping her mouth, Jessica put the napkin to the side and smiled at Terry. “Mr. Davison.”

“I know what you want to say.” Terry looked at Jessica with his expression unchanged. “I’m not here to

defend Grace today.”

“Then what are you suggesting?” Jessica raised her eyebrows.

“I’m just here to remind you that even if Grace was stupid enough to set you up, she was not capable

enough to drug Lucas,” said Terry, gazing at Jessica.

Jessica didn’t see this coming. She paused and then asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“I’m saying Lucas is very meticulous. You know that well enough,” said Terry, not intending to continue.

Terry stopped in the middle, which made Jessica quite annoyed.

The two then left the restaurant, wordlessly. Terry then sent Jessica back to her apartment.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Good night, Miss Hall.”

Terry said with a smile before Jessica got out of the car.

Jessica’s eyes flickered. She wanted to ask Terry more about what he meant. But when she saw

Terry’s face, she didn’t ask in the end.

Jessica knew that Terry didn’t have the intention of telling her now.
