Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 10

 

Chapter 10 

Jessica attended the banquet, mainly hoping to get familiar with the upper-class society of Los Angeles. After all, she was now the general manager of the Hall Group rather than Lucas’ wife.

Unlike the ladies, the businessmen were more concerned about whether Jessica had a say in their cooperation with the Hall Group

For that reason, a lot of people went to greet Jessica. Too many business chats made Jessica tired.

Thus, Jessica found an excuse to end the conversation with a man and made her way to the dining area.

Jessica put down her red wine and took a glass of juice. When she looked up, she saw Olivia and her girl friends storming over

“Jessica, you are far from qualified to be here. Did you manage to come in by hooking up with a playboy?”

Looking at Olivia, Jessica smiled. “If you don‘t know what‘s the right thing to say, you should just go back to school. Learn harder this time so that you won’t disgrace your family‘s fame again.”

“How dare you insult me! Just you wait. I‘ll ask the security guards to throw you two out!” Olivia yelled angrily as she pointed at Jessica and Hannah.

With that, Olivia stormed off to get the security guards.

Jessica smiled as she looked at the people around her. Since Olivia asked for humiliation, Jessica wouldn‘t stop

her.

Shortly, Olivia returned with a security guard, which naturally drew a lot of attention at the banquet.

Olivia walked up to Jessica and Hannah and looked at them arrogantly. Olivia said to the security guards, “The two of them sneaked in. They can‘t have an invitation letter. Hurry up and throw them out!”

The security guards hesitated when they saw Jessica’s and Hannah‘s gorgeous dresses. After all, he could not afford to offend any of the rich ladies.

The security guards did not move, so Lia hurriedly said, “Hurry up and drive them away. Olivia lost her bracelet. They must be thieves!”

With that, the people around started to gossip. The security guards were left with no option but to step forward and say, “Ladies, I‘m sorry. Please leave immediately.”

“I‘m Jessica. This is my invitation letter. Please take a look.” Jessica took out her invitation letter calmly.
