Chapter 196

“I see what you mean.” Jessica picked up the coffee cup again. She took a sip and said, “Olivia is his family. He

covered up for Olivia because he wanted to protect his sister. But Luna and Trissy … I don’t think Lucas will do the

same thing for them.”

Jessica said, thinking about how Lucas confessed the whole thing to her that night in the park and then recalling his

confession of love to her. She was a little distracted.

“I see. It’s just a kind reminder.”

Jessica only came back to her senses when she heard Terry’s voice. She didn’t notice the sense of frustration in

Terry’s eyes.

What Terry said reminded Jessica that even if Lucas was not involved, the Thomas family or Justin might have

something to do with it.

Jessica suspected Justin for a fair reason.

Morgan once warned Jessica when he came to LA to settle scores with the Thomas family for Jessica’s sake.

Justin was not the one to mess up with. It was not that the Hall family couldn’t afford to do that. It was just Justin

was notorious for his dirty tricks.

Morgan was not among the most decent people, either. After all, he would have been ruled out of the business

world if he hadn’t learned to play, tricks.

Yet even Morgan found Justin vile.

The younger generations might not know about Justin. After all, Justin left the Thomas Group almost ten years ago.

After Justin retired, he stayed in the Thomas’ villa. He saw the reputation of the Thomas family as a top priority.

Thus, the young people didn’t have the chance to see his strings.

Yet Morgan was not included, though he was nearly 40 years younger than Morgan. Louis failed to be Justin’s

successor, so Justin had to hang in at the age of over sixty.

Morgan had exchanged blows with Justin when he first started his career. He didn’t want to mention the past

anymore. He only told Jessica that people like Justin only cared about the results. They didn’t care about the

progress. Morgan advised that Jessica should try to be polite to Justin if possible.

Jessica had been in the Thomas family for years. Though she didn’t know Justin well, she learned one thing or two

about him. Thus, Jessica agreed with Morgan on what he said about Justin.

That was why Jessica never punished Olivia severely.

Now the rumor seemed to be handled by the Cheek sisters.

But Jessica intuited that it was not as simple as it seemed to be.

Yet Jessica also knew that she wouldn’t get close to the truth given that Justin was at the table, too.

Seeing that she was silent, the smile in his eyes faded. “It’s getting late. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Jessica smiled and nodded. “I’ll see you off.”

Jessica followed Terry to the entrance. When he put on his shoes, she opened the door. “Be careful on your way

back.”

“Sure.”

Terry responded, but he didn’t leave.

Jessica was about to close the door and return to the room, but she was puzzled to see him still standing at the

door. “What is it?”

Terry looked at her with a sense of hedging in his eyes. “Jessica, what do you like about Lucas?”

Terry just couldn’t figure out what made Jessica so obsessed with Lucas.

Terry thought only ignorant and naive girls would like a cold-blooded person like Lucas.

But obviously, Jessica was not among those girls.

She was smart, courageous, and decisive. No matter how hard Terry thought about Jessica, she was not such a silly

girl.

Jessica paused. She had not expected that Terry would suddenly ask such a question.

Hannah had also asked her the very same question before.

What did Jessica say back then?

She seemed to have said, “Lucas seems cold, but there’s tenderness inside his heart. I once enjoyed his brief

tenderness, so I couldn’t help myself.”

Jessica told Terry what she had told Hannah before.

Terry was dumbfounded and even puzzled when he heard what Jessica said. “I’ve known him for years. I never saw

any tenderness in him.”

That was not the fairest comment. After all, Terry was not with Lucas seven twenty-four.

There was once a time when Terry and Lucas got along. Terry had seen people of all kinds. He could tell when

someone was only pretending to be cold.

Terry didn’t think Lucas was among those people. He was cold in nature.

It seemed that Lucas didn’t need love from others. He wouldn’t love others as well.
