Remarriage His Billionaire Ex-Wife novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Jessica usually wouldn’t drink too much at any dinner party. If it weren’t for the fact that one of the guests was in charge of the approval of her projects, Jessica would probably have started to refuse the drinks.

Jessica frowned at her glass. She didn’t feel like drinking any more wine.

Thus, Jessica decided to pretend to puke. After all, no one would dare to make things difficult for her.

With that in mind, Jessica lowered her head. Suddenly, a cold voice chimed in, “Mr. Wyatt, I’d like to propose a toast.”

It was Lucas. He hadn’t even looked at Jessica since he entered, but now he had solved her problem.

Jessica lowered her eyes and looked at the wine glass in her hand. Then people started to make fun of the two.

Someone teased Lucas, saying he must be protecting Jessica.

“Well, well, well. Despite his young age, Mr. Thomas seemed to be reminiscent. Miss Hall is, after all, Mr. Thomas’ ex-wife. We’ll respect Mr. Thomas’ choice!”

“Miss Hall drank quite a lot tonight. So perhaps Mr. Thomas can take it from here. Come on, Mr. Thomas, at one go!”

“Mr. Thomas is so generous!”

Almost everyone began to toast Lucas, and Jessica took the opportunity to get the approval done.

The whole dinner lasted for two hours. When Jessica came out, her face was already red, showing how drunk she was.

Wendy quickly reached out to help her. “Miss Hall?”

Jessica shook her head. “I’m fine.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Lucas, who was walking in front of them.

Lucas had drunk a lot of wine. That would have been Jessica’s task if Lucas hadn’t helped her out.

Jessica was thinking about what happened at the dinner party when Lucas suddenly pushed Vincent, who was propping Lucas up, away and strode toward Jessica.

“Are you trying to pretend you didn’t see me at all again?” Lucas lowered his head to look at Jessica.

“How is that possible? The truth should be that you are too busy to see me,” said Jessica mockingly.

“It was Trissy and Luna who spread the rumors online,” Lucas cleared his throat and said.

“Really? I heard that Trissy went to see you before that.” Jessica raised her eyebrows slightly.
