Chapter 208
Dwayne couldn’t help but ask, “But, Mr. Thomas, how will that help us?”
Justin was annoyed by Dwayne’s confusion. He glared at Dwayne and said, “Didn’t Morgan and his wife say that they didn’t give a damn to these rumors? If we spread the news of me visiting the Hall family, the netizens will begin to gossip for sure. Let’s see if Jessica’s parents can really be as insouciant as they have claimed to be.”
Rumors! Their power never faded.
Once the rumor was spread, any clarification from the Hall family would look like a cover story. They would not be able to prove anything.
Dwayne instantly understood. “Now I understand, Mr. Thomas.”
Morgan didn’t know what Justin was up to. After his anger subsided, he couldn’t wait to call Jessica.
Jessica already knew that Justin had gone to New York in the morning. She could guess Justin’s intention, but she didn’t expect that Justin would even make up a story, saying that she and Lucas were in love.
The truth was Jessica and Lucas never even met these days.
Having heard Morgan’s veiled concerns, she sneered and said, “Dad, don’t worry. I won’t marry into the Thomas family again.”
Whether Lucas had fallen in love with Jessica didn’t make any difference. As long as Olivia and Justin were there, the Thomas family was the hell that Jessica would avoid by all means.
At first, Morgan still doubted whether Jessica and Lucas had indeed gotten back together since Justin looked quite earnest.
Morgan didn’t want his daughter to suffer. He was worried that Jessica might hide her relationship with Lucas from him and his wife out of embarrassment.
Yet Jessica had found out Morgan’s intention. Thus, she stated clearly that she would never marry into the Thomas family again.
Still, Morgan was unable to tell whether Jessica meant it or not. He then said, “Jess, if you are really in love with him, Mom and I won’t have any objections. We wish nothing but your happiness.”
What Morgan said made Jessica feel guilty. Jessica had realized that love couldn’t be the only criterion for her marriage now.
In the past, she married Lucas simply out of love.
However, dealing with Lucas’ family was complicated. It had made her suffer a lot and even worried Morgan and May.
“No matter what you do, Jess, just remember that Mom and Dad will always be there for you.”
“Thank you, Dad.”
