Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105
After Justin finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Dwayne. Dwayne placed the card he had prepared on the table.
Justin looked at Trissy and said, “You are a smart girl. Here is ten million dollars, enough for your sister to live for a while. Be sensible. Take the money and you are still the recognized daughter-in-law of the Thomas family.”
Justin stood up and left after he finished speaking.
Justin came and left quickly. In less than five minutes, the two sisters, Luna and Trissy, were left alone in the ward.
“Trissy, what should we do now?”
Trissy’s mind was also a mess. She looked at the card on the table.
Ten million dollars was just a drop in the bucket for the Thomas family. The old bastard Justin wanted to drive the Cheek sisters away, but he was reluctant to pay.
However, Trissy also knew that it would be even harder for Luna to marry into the Thomas family now.
Justin’s last line was also vicious enough.
If they insisted on doing so, then Trissy would not be able to gain any benefit from the Thomas family.
However, if Trissy and Luna stopped making fusses and took the money, Trissy could still be the titular Mrs. Thomas.
Trissy had always supported Luna marrying into the Thomas family so that she could follow Luna back to the Thomas family as well.
However, now that the Thomas family could still recognize Trissy even if Luna didn’t have to marry into the Thomas family
“Trissy!”
Just as Trissy was about to ask Luna to give up, Luna suddenly shouted at her.
Trissy was startled and raised her head, meeting Luna’s gaze. She felt a little guilty. “Luna, listen to me. Mr. Thomas…”
“Trissy, I know what you are thinking about! Are you thinking that it is impossible for me to marry into the Thomas family anyway, so rather than getting nothing, it is better to keep the title of Mrs. Thomas? But don’t forget that Max had already died. Even if you have the title of Mrs. Thomas, what is the use of it? Can you put your hands on even a little bit of the Thomas family?”
Luna read Trissy’s mind, which made her angry. “Then what else can I do? Don’t forget how powerful the Thomas family can be! If they want us to die, it’s just a piece of cake. Do you want to be sent abroad again?”
Luna calmed down. “Trissy, have you seen a chance in Justin’s visit?”
Trissy frowned. “What do you mean?”
Luna leaned over and whispered something into Trissy’s ear.
Trissy hedged after hearing that. “Will it work?”
“Don’t worry. It will!”
Trissy gritted her teeth. “Alright, there’s no better way now anyway!”
The two sisters discussed the next plan in low voices.
On the other side, after a meeting, Jessica had completely calmed down.
Compared to the irrelevant ones, the bidding of that piece of land tomorrow was more important. “Have you heard of anything from Derek’s side?”
Derek was Jessica’s biggest competitor, and she had long made Wendy keep an eye on Derek.
Upon hearing Jessica’s words, Wendy summarized what had happened in the competition. “Nothing worth mentioning so far.”
Jessica nodded, “I see.”
Jessica went back to her office. She read two more urgent documents before she left the company.
When Jessica walked out of the company, she found that it was raining. There was a spare umbrella in the office, but she didn’t feel like going up to get it. The rain outside was not very heavy. Jessica pulled on her windbreaker. She was about to wrap herself up and grab a taxi on the roadside.
“Can you care about your health more?”
As soon as Jessica walked out, a black umbrella blocked her head. She heard a familiar voice. She turned her head and met Terry’s smiling eyes.
Jessica smiled with embarrassment, “There’s a taxi over there. It took me seven or eight seconds to get in. The rain won’t wet me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, someone got into that taxi Jessica mentioned.
Terry clicked his tongue. “What about now?”
Jessica’s eyebrows twitched. “Now it seems that I can only trouble Mr. Davison.”
Terry shoved the umbrella into Jessica’s hands. “Wait for me to drive over the car.”
After Terry finished speaking, he had already entered the rain.
Jessica held the umbrella that she had just taken over from Terry. She could still feel his warmth, which made her feel scorching somehow. She hurried to move her hand away.
Jessica had just gotten into Terry’s car when she received a call from Hannah. It was very noisy on the other side of the line.
“Jess, are you off work? How are you feeling now?” Hannah’s voice came through.
“What are you begging me for this time? I’ll give you five seconds. If you don’t say anything, I’ll hang up.” Jessica knew Hannah. She must have been polite for a reason.
“Hey, don’t hang up. I’ll talk.” Hannah said embarrassedly, “Can you come over to LURE?”
“Did I hear you right? You want a patient like me to go to a bar now?” Jessica was so angry that she laughed.
Hannah also felt embarrassed. She smiled awkwardly. “Just come.”
“I see.”
Jessica hung up the phone, glanced at Terry, and spread out her hands. “Looks like I’ll have to trouble you again, Mr. Davison.”
