Chapter 111
Lucas thought the same. But after he hung up the phone, Lucas looked at Jessica’s sketch and felt somewhat frustrated.
Lucas frowned and was just about to light a cigarette to relieve his frustration when Vincent knocked on the door and entered.
Lucas withdrew his hand and looked up at Vincent. “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Thomas, the trending topic about Miss Cheek has been removed. The recording Miss Hall posted and Miss Hall’s tweet have been deleted as well.”
Lucas paused a bit. That was rare. He pinched the lighter without noticing and the flames burned to his fingertips, causing his fingers to tremble slightly.
After Jessica asked Hannah to remove the trending topic, she also deleted her tweet. The whole thing then slowly calmed down.
Jessica won the piece of land in the north of LA without exceeding the budget. Even Morgan called to praise Jessica, and Megan dared not to say anything.
Then, Jessica became a real celebrity in the company and she was the focus wherever she went.
People had originally thought that Miss Hall was someone incompetent, but now, she had easily defeated Derek and won the piece of land in the north of LA. She was really competent.
And someone said that Jessica only got the land because Lucas and Derek got along. Thus, Derek yielded the land to Jessica.
But so what?
That was for Jessica as well.
Someone knocked on the door, and only then did Jessica retract her gaze and look up. She then saw Wendy, who had entered.
Miss Hall, you have a party tonight. This is the evening dress.”
Thank you.”
The Fairbank family held the evening party. They and the Hall family were in the same line of work. Since Jessica got the invitation, she would have to attend the party.
After she received the invitation, Jessica had a dress arranged.
Jessica’s dress was Tomie’s design. It was a customized strapless fishtail Klein blue dress. The color was bright. Not anyone fit into the color
The dress was made of silk satin, and the overall style was simple. Only the fishtail part of the dress was embellished with a few pieces of crystal from Swarovski.
Jessica was wearing a brooch on her right chest. It was simple yet not exquisite, and the Klein blue color made Jessica’s skin look even fairer.
To match the dress, Jessica wore a pair of silver stilettos. She looked elegantly beautiful.
Hannah’s eyes lit up when she saw Jessica “Jess, this dress is perfect for you!”
Hannah knew that Jessica was atlending the dinner party tonight, so she took an invitation from Eden to be with Jessica
The guests were all from the upper-class society of LA Someone might play some tricks againsi Jessica.
Hannah casually found a dress to wear. The white dress eyen accentuated Jessica’s beauty,
Hannah didn’t mind being a foil for Jessica, so she directly walked in with Jessica
For this kind of dinner, if socialites wanted to stand out they preferred to wear dresses in bright colors or backless dresses with a V-neck.
The dress Jessica was wearing was not revealing. It was quite simple. But even so, Jessica still attracted many people’s attention when she walked in.
“Who is this woman? She has a good temperament. She is too suitable for Klein blue!”
“This woman looks familiar. I remember now. It’s Mrs. Thomas. No, it’s the former Mrs. Thomas, Jessica!”
Hannah rolled her eyes at the gossiping women. “Please, you and Lucas have been divorced a long time ago. Why did they still call you Mrs. Thomas?”
Jessica glanced at Hannah and said, “As they wish.”
Olivia had already spotted Jessica when she walked in. Yet Olivia didn’t dare to mess up with Jessica this time.
Yet Bailey somehow said, “Olivia, do you think that’s Jessica? Speaking of which, you apologized to her before, but she still didn’t forgive you?”
Olivia blew up when Bailey mentioned her apologizing to Jessica. “Don’t mention her!”
Bailey changed a look with Lia. They knew there must have been something. “What happened? Did she patronize you?”
Olivia said angrily, “Are you my friend or not? I don’t want to hear anything about Jessica. Why did you keep mentioning her?”
Bailey hurried to hold Olivia’s shoulders. “Olivia, don’t be angry! Jessica has gone too far. Tonight is a chance. How about we help you vent your anger?”
Hearing this, Olivia was finally a little interested. “How?”
“Jessica is in the limelight tonight, isn’t she? She’s the only one wearing a Klein blue dress. Why don’t we help her draw more attention?”
