Chapter 172

After Jessica went home, she thought about what Terry had said. He made a good point.

No matter how daring Grace was, she wouldn’t have had the guts to offend both the Hall family and the Thomas

family at the same time.

Jessica had not been based in LA before, so it was understandable that Grace didn’t take Jessica seri ously

But everyone knew that Lucas was the last person one would ever want to mess up with in LA.

What Terry said made Jessica have second thoughts about the whole thing. She had a hunch that something was

wrong, but she just couldn’t tell what exactly.

Thus, with a frown, Jessica called Wendy. Wendy should still be working.

Wendy quickly answered the phone. Jessica smiled and said directly, “Good evening, Wendy. Sorry to disturb you. I

hope you can help me further investigate the people around Grace.”

“Miss Hall, is there anything wrong with the current result?”

Wendy didn’t see this coming. But she soon understood Jessica’s concerns.

Jessica chuckled. “Not exactly. Perhaps my concerns are unnecessary. But it’s just this woman seems too daring.”

Wendy asked no more questions and said, “I see. I’ll have it reinvestigated now.”

“Thanks,” Jessica said.

“You are welcome, Miss Hall. Good night.”

“Good night, Wendy.”

Jessica hung up the phone as she raised her eyebrows.

Hopefully, she was only being unnecessarily suspicious. Jessica didn’t want any new enemies.

Jessica thought that it would take Wendy quite some time to reinvestigate, but unexpectedly, the next afternoon,

Wendy came to her office with the result.

“We checked Grace’s bank statement again, and our conclusion is still the same. The money reached Judy before it

went through several people. But there is indeed something strange,” said Wendy.

“Elaborate on it,” said Jessica as she dragged her gaze from the report to Wendy.

*All these go-betweens have nothing to do with Mr. Thomas. I checked their bank statements,” said Wendy as she

went to Jessica and took a page out of the report.

Wendy added, “One of the go-betweens transferred a sum of money two days before that night to a man named

Bob. The time is right. But still, this guy is just a rascal in a slum. He has nothing to do with Mr. Thomas, either”

Jessica checked Bob’s profile. She had never met the man before. But when Jessica read through the rest of the

results, she found the whole thing more complicated than she had ever imagined.

She closed the report and said to Wendy, “Then keep an eye on Bob. See if he’s indeed involved.”

“Yes, Miss Hall.“ Wendy nodded and turned to leave Jessica’s office.

Meanwhile, Lucas received a call from Dwayne before he got off work. Dwayne said that Justin was sick and wanted

Lucas to go back home.

In the evening, Lucas drove back to the Thomas villa.

Lucas came to the study and saw Justin, who didn’t look sick at all. Justin was sitting on the sofa. He frowned and

said, “Grandpa, I was told you have fallen ill.”

“That’s the only excuse to trick you home.” Justin snorted.

Then, Justin took a deep breath, softened his tone, and said to Lucas, “Take a seat.”

Justin handed Lucas an envelope and said, “Have a look at this.”

Lucas was confused. He took the envelope and opened it. As soon as he opened it, he saw the photos inside

Lucas glanced at Justin before taking all the photos out.

The photos were of Terry and Jessica. Lucas’ face darkened when he saw them. “You hired people to stalk Jessica?”

“That’s not stalking! I’m afraid that what Olivia did would be found out, so I’ve been keeping an eye on Jessica.

Those photos were taken by accident.”

Lucas didn’t buy it. But Justin was his grandfather, after all, so Lucas didn’t haggle over Justin’s mo tive. He asked,

“Why are you showing these photos to me? What do you mean?”

Justin glared at Lucas and asked, “What do I mean? Lucas, do you really have Jessica on your mind? Look at Terry.

That’s the attitude you should hold when you chase a woman. If you didn’t learn that, you would have to see the

two of them get married!”
