Chapter 154
Rebecca frowned. “But I don’t think Jessica wants to see me.”
Rebecca was timid, but she was not stupid.
In the Thomas family, Rebecca was just like Jessica. But she didn’t have Jessica’s pride or her family background, so Rebecca never fought back.
Now that Jessica and Lucas were divorced, Rebecca believed that Jessica wanted to keep a distance from the Thomas family. If Rebecca were Jessica, that would be what she wanted.
“That depends on how you do it, Rebecca. You won’t shut outside the door, will you?”
Justin was making it clear that Rebecca had to bond with Jessica.
Rebecca had never dared to go against her strict father-in-law. Although she was reluctant, she had to nod. “I see, father.”
Rebecca went out of the study with a pale face. When she returned to her room, she thought of what Justin had entrusted her with
Although Jessica hadn’t gotten over with Rebecca, they had never actually bonded before.
What should Rebecca do to complete the task that Justin had given her?
Rebecca fell into down spirits ever since Justin asked her to catch up with Rebecca.
Olivia could tell that Rebecca was troubled, so she asked, “Mom, what happened to you recently? Did Dad’s mistress come to you again?”
Olivia had always looked down on Louis’ mistress, but that woman just wouldn’t stop visiting the Thomas’ villa to make a fuss.
Olivia couldn’t stand it when she heard Rebecca was bullied by that woman. So she said, “Mom, I’ll teach that bitch a lesson!”
Rebecca quickly stopped her, “Olivia, don’t act recklessly. That woman didn’t come these days.”
“Then what’s troubling you?” ..
Gazing at Olivia, Rebecca finally told Olivia what Justin said.
Olivia felt a bit shocked as well. “Mom, are you saying that grandpa wanted you to help them patch things up?” Rebecca sighed and said, “Your grandpa said I had to make it.” “Seriously? He likes Jessica that much?”
Rebecca did not speak, but the answer was quite obvious.
Olivia thought for a while and said, “But Jessica didn’t even take Lucas seriously. How could she listen to you? Unless…”
“Unless what?” Rebecca looked at her daughter.
Unless they can’t help but sleep again and get caught on the spot!” Olivia quickly said.
Rebecca seemed to be startled and quickly covered Olivia’s mouth. “What nonsense are you talking about? Jessica and Lucas would never forgive you if you tricked them.”
“Then what else can we do? It is a mission impossible.” Olivia’s eyes moved quickly. “Leave this to me. They won’t know it’s me. When you finally asked Jessica out, just let me know!”
Olivia said that and ran away,
Rebecca looked at Olivia’s back and regretted telling her what Justin had said.
Meanwhile, in Jessica’s office.
“Miss Hall, Mrs. Thomas wanted to see you.”
With that, Jessica couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. “I don’t have time.”
What was the Thomas family doing?
When Lucas and Olivia stopped causing trouble, it was Rebecca’s turn now.
This was the second time Rebecca had asked Jessica out. Although Jessica had been her daughter-in-law for three years, they weren’t close.
Now that Jessica had divorced Lucas, why would Jessica bother to see Rebecca?
Wendy nodded, but she didn’t leave. Seeing that Wendy hadn’t left, Jessica tightened her grip on the pen. “Is there anything else?”
“A lot of people are discussing how you got that land in north LA. Some voices say that it was Mr. Thomas who gave Mr. Fairbank a project, so Mr. Fairbank yielded that land to you.”
Jessica clicked her tongue and said, “It’s true. Don’t worry.”
Seeing that Jessica did not care, Wendy did not say anything more.
Wendy suspected that it was triggered by the Thomas family. After all, a few days ago, because of the fight and apology statements, more and more people believed that Jessica should choose Terry.
Yet when the land gossip was exposed, they all turned partial to Lucas now. Thus, the Thomas family must have been behind it.
Wendy knew that, and so did Jessica.
But Wendy didn’t know what Jessica was thinking.
