Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167
“I do have a question for you.” Terry put down the pizza in his hand as well.
“Which is?”
“You and Lucas, did you really get back together?”
Jessica didn’t expect that question from Terry. She was dumbfounded at first and then chuckled. “What does this have to do with you, Mr. Davison?”
Terry did not answer the question. He placed the glass on the table, and then stood up and said to Jes sica with a smile, “I think I’ll leave you to a good rest.”
“You may see yourself out, Mr. Davison,” said Jessica, following Terry to the door.
“Jessica.” Terry opened the door and suddenly stopped. He looked at Jessica and asked, “If the person four years ago hadn’t been Lucas, would you still have married him?”
“What are you suggesting?” Jessica’s voice turned cold.
Terry looked at Jessica I’m not suggesting anything. I’m only curious. If that man hadn’t been Lucas, would you still have married him?”
“Terry, you know something about it, right?” Jessica’s face slightly darkened.
Not many people knew about what happened between Jessica and Lucas four years ago.
The outsiders only knew that Lucas and Jessica “fell in love” all of a sudden and decided to get mar ried.
Only Justin and a few staff members knew what happened exactly that night.
Jessica didn’t even mention that to her parents.
But now, Terry kept asking what Jessica would have chosen if that man hadn’t been Lucas.
Jessica had to ponder over it.
“So, if the person on that night hadn’t been Lucas, you would still have married him, right?” Terry asked again, not convinced.
“Let’s make a deal. Terry, tell me what you know and I will tell you my answer,” Jessica said as she looked at Terry.
Jessica said that because she believed that whatever happened four years ago must have a hidden story.
“I’ll tell you next time, Jessica.” Terry smiled slightly and strode out of Jessica’s place.
Jessica looked at the closed door in a daze.
If she was honest with herself, she didn’t have an answer to Terry’s question.
Jessica liked Lucas. She didn’t marry him because of what happened that night,
In fact, that incident had made Jessica hesitant about marrying Lucas. But Lucas married Jessica Simply for the night they spent together. Jessica couldn’t help but find it funny when Terry brought the whole thing up today.
She thought perhaps Lucas still saw their failed marriage as a plot planned by her.
If Lucas thought that way, Jessica wouldn’t blame him for his attitude after they divorced.
Jessica sighed softly, and she turned back to her bedroom.
Early the next morning, Vincent was sorting out the results of his investigation,
To be honest, Vincent believed the results would annoy Lucas. He almost wanted to hide them from Lu cas.
But Vincent didn’t dare to stall. Lucas demanded the fact.
Thus, Vincent knocked on Lucas’ door and let himself in when Lucas responded.
“Is it all clear now?” Lucas looked at Vincent and asked.
“Yes, Mr. Thomas.” Vincent placed the report on the table.
Lucas opened the report and read it for a while. Lucas then snorted, and that scared Vincent.
Vincent took a deep breath and said, “I have three different private detectives looking into it and the re sults are the same. The woman Miss Hall met that day was called Judy. Someone gave her money to do it, but the money reached her before it went through several other people. The source is a woman named Grace…”
Vincent paused and said, “But…”
“But what?” Lucas asked in a deep voice. “Don’t beat around the bush. Say it if there’s any.”
Vincent quickly nodded and continued, “The person that Grace arranged to stay in the hotel room was actually a man called Bob. As for why you appeared in that room, I got someone to look into the family din ner you had the day before yesterday.”
Lucas did not speak. Vincent felt that his forehead was drenched with sweat. He hesitated for a mo ment before continuing, “Mr. Thomas, after what happened four years ago, you have always been very cau tious about your food. Do you think any outsiders can tamper with your food?”
