Chapter 3
When Jessica woke up, it was already the next morning. She had a French feast with Hannah yesterday evening, and then had some drinks and danced the whole night. They got home early in the morning.
Jessica felt as if she had been crushed by a car after a hangover. She felt weak and sore.
Hanna walked into Jessica’s room with a glass of milk and handed it to her. “The news on the Internet spreads fast.”
“Really? I’m a little interested now. Where is my phone?” Jessica took a sip of milk and took over her phone, handed over by Hannah. Jessica logged in to Twitter and started swiping.
The top of the trending topics was about Jessica pushing Trissy into the water at Justin‘s birthday party. Jessica swiped her phone and read the comments casually. Almost all were scolding Jessica for being vicious. And some people exposed Jessica’s ordinary background, saying Jessica was not worthy of a rich person like Lucas. Some even assumed that Jessica might have played some tricks to marry into such a wealthy family.
The public was particularly interested in the scandal of the rich families while Trissy happened to enjoy exposing her life to the public. This made the Thomas family almost become a second Kardashian,
“Jessica, don’t be sad because of these harsh comments.” Hannah comforted Jessica.
“Sad?” Jessica smiled. She then took out a document from her bag and handed it to Hannah, “Take a look.”
Hannah opened the folder in confusion and realized it was a divorce agreement. She looked at Jessica in surprise and quickly browsed through the contents of the document. “Sweetie, why did you give up on the alimony? Lucas should pay it!”
“I don‘t care about the money. Come on, get the car key and we‘ll go to Lucas‘ office later.” Jessica finished the milk in one gulp and walked into the bathroom with her cosmetic bag.
Three years had passed and Jessica didn‘t want to wait for Lucas anymore.
An hour later, Jessica walked directly into the Thomas Group‘s office building in Los Angeles with the divorce agreement. Lucas, who was sitting in his office, was also informed of Jessica‘s arrival by his secretary
“Let her in.” Lucas told his secretary
“I see, Mr. Thomas.” The secretary nodded and left the office.
Jessica walked directly to Lucas‘ office in her high heels. She knocked on the door and pushed it open before the door was answered. She casually threw the document on Lucas‘ desk and said, “Tomorrow at 9 o’clock, we’ll go through the divorce procedures. I hope you will be there on time.”
With that, Jessica turned around and left without hesitation.
Sitting at his desk, Lucas saw Jessica off. His eyes gradually darkened. He reached out and took the divorce document. Jessica had already signed it.
How could Jessica be so assertive?
