Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140
Justin looked a bit embarrassed when he heard Lucas. Justin then tossed a sharp glance at Olivia.
“Olivia has been quite willful and always provoked Jessica. That was Olivia’s fault. You don’t need to worry about that. Marry Jessica again and leave Olivia to us.”
Justin looked at Olivia and said, “Last time, I only locked you up in the Black House for three days. If you stir up any trouble again, you’ll see how hard your life can be.”
Olivia was very surprised and dissatisfied when Justin made her sound like a troublemaker. She wanted to refute, but when she heard Justin’s warning, she lost the guts. She snorted and said, “I won’t, grandpa.”
“Alright, Lucas, come with me.” Justin stood up and said to Lucas.
Lucas nodded to Rebecca and followed Justin to the study.
Dwayne helped Justin to the sofa in the study and left.
Lucas closed the door and walked to Justin.
“What do you think about remarrying Jessica?”
Lucas didn’t know why Justin was so eager to have him remarry Jessica. Lucas said, slightly helplessly. ‘I don’t have any thoughts.”
“I know about that patch of land in the north. You yielded it to Jessica, didn’t you?” Justin could not help but slap the table.
Jessica didn’t ask for money when we divorced. This is what I owe her.” Lucas’ golden eyes flickered slightly.
However, Justin did not believe it at all. “You owe her billions of dollars? Is Jessica the daughter of the POTUS?”
Lucas couldn’t argue with Justin. He wanted to say something, yet he didn’t.
What Lucas had done proved that he had feelings for Jessica. Yet Lucas was puzzled why his feelings for Jessica only surfaced after they had divorced.
Lucas was sure Jessica’s family background wasn’t the reason.
Justin stared at Lucas in disappointment before he took out an invitation. Jessica will have her birthday next week. Morgan intends to hold a birthday party for Jessica in New York. This will be the first time for Morgan to publicly hold a birthday party for Jessica. It’s unprecedentedly important. You should understand it. This is the invitation letter. You know what to do, don’t you?”
Lucas took over the invitation. He lowered his head, with his golden eyelashes concealing the emotions in his eyes.
Lucas was about to leave when Justin said, “Lucas, your father’s marriage was arranged by the family. He never had a happy life, and your mother is not happy, either. Although I want you to take Jessica as your wife, I won’t force you if you really don’t like her.”
Jessica had no plans for her own birthday. She didn’t take a fancy to a posh birthday party
But Morgan intended to take advantage of this birthday party to formally introduce Jessica to the upper class of New York. It could also prevent some idiots from bullying Jessica
Morgan had been in the business world of New York mall for many years, and he got to know a lot of people. The birthday party of Morgan’s only daughter was thus matchless.
Jessica returned to New York three days earlier. In addition to supervising the preparation of the entire banquet, she had to take part in the rehearsal as well.
Many people wanted to get to know Morgan through the banquet, so those who wanted to ride on the coattails of the Hall Group all wanted an invitation.
Of course, the Hall family had criteria for their guests.
The Hall family was not born wealthy. They counted as new money. But May, Morgan’s wife was from a prestigious family. Many of May’s siblings had positions in Congress.
With the support of May’s family, people would kill to get an invitation to Jessica’s birthday party.
Originally, Jessica did not want to send an invitation to the Thomas family. It was her birthday party after all. She was afraid that seeing the Thomas family would affect her mood.
However, there were hidden rules in the upper-class society. If Jessica didn’t invite the Thomas family, it would mean that the two families became enemies.
Jessica gave it a second thought and told herself that perhaps Justin wouldn’t show up because of their unpleasant history.
However, Wendy then came over to tell Jessica that Lucas would be attending the party on behalf of his family. Jessica felt quite surprised.
Jessica had not expected Lucas to come to her birthday party.
Some time ago, the two of them had some arguments in the car, and she thought Lucas had completely gotten over her.
However, Jessica quickly adjusted herself. Lucas was just a guest and that was all. She only needed to treat him the same way she treated other guests.
