Chapter 8
Jessica slapped Olivia, but Lucas did not take revenge on Jessica for hig sister. So as soon an Olivia
returned to the Thomas villa, she ran to Justin and complained,
When Justin heard that Jessica had come back to LA, he was filled with fury again
Justin immediately called Lucas and asked him to bring Jessica over the next day so that she could
kneel and apologize
“Grandpa, we are divorced.” Lucas said calmly
“So what? She released the video. If we call the police, she will be thrown into prison/” Justin coughed as
he spoke
“The police won’t arrest her, because
what she posted was exactly what had happened” Lucas was a little impatient
Justin froze for a moment. When Justin came to his senses, Lucas had already hung up
Lucas threw his phone on the sofa and lit a cigar.
Three months after Jessica
vanished, she came back as a formidable woman rather than Lucas‘ obedient wife she used to be
Just as Lucas took a puff of his cigar, his phone rang again. Feeling annoyed, he picked it up,
It was his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfriend, Hari. The music on the other end of the line was deafening. Lucas frowned and almost wanted to
hang up
“We are at LURE. You coming?” Hari sounded very excited.
“No.”
“Really? Lucas, but Jessica is here too. Oh, and her new lover, quite a hot guy.” Hari said.
Jessica was
dragged to LURE by Hannah, because Hannah, the nightclub queen, planned to celebrate her birthday t
here
As soon as Jessica sat
down, Hannah brought over a man. As they approached, Jessica recognized the man. It was the guy she
and Hannah knew from school, Caesar Kim.
It had been a few years since Jessica last saw Caesar. He looked more handsome,
“When did you come back?” Jessica looked at the tall man and raised her eyebrows.
“Yesterday.” Caesar sat down next to Jessica. He took two drinks and handed one to her.
While they were recalling their old days in school, the staff of LURE moved the musical instruments and
equipment to the stage. Hannah nudged Jessica and said
excitedly. “Let‘s go and have some fun! Don‘t tell me you forgot how to beat the drums!”
“How could that be!” Jessica took the drum sticks and
spun them around a few times before following Caesar and Hannah onto the stage.
Lucas had already heard the deafening noise inside before he even entered LURE.
He likes quiet places. To him, music like this was just noise,
Lucas located Hari, who was watching the performance, and asked with a frown, “Where’s Jessica?”
Hari pointed at the stage and said, “There. The one playing the drums. Lucas, did you really divorce
Jessica?”
“Sure did.” Lucas rolled his eyes at Hari.
“Then I declare now that Jessica is my new idol!”
Lucas’ gaze fell on Jessica, who was
playing the drums. Under the spotlight, Lucas could tell that Jessica was no longer the dull girl she used
to be.
Lucas, who was always cool and aloof, was dumbfounded. He had never seen Jessica like that before
Jessica’s hands moved fast, and all the people in the nightclub were fascinated.
The performance was over. Jessica was talking to her friends when Hari suddenly appeared, “Jessica,
you are a great drummer!”
Seeing Hari, Jessica‘s smile became fainter. “Hari, it‘s been a long time.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Indeed. It is.” Hari was immersed in Jessica‘s performance, completely forgetting how much he had
looked down on her
Hari was lost in his own world. He went on, “You know what? Lucas is here, too. He is right over…”
As Hari spoke, he turned around to look for Lucas, only to see Lucas walking out of the door. Lucas was,
after all, Hari‘s childhood buddy. Hari hesitate a bit but then decided to follow Lucas.
However, before leaving, he said to Jessica, Jessica, I‘m into rock‘n‘roll, too. Perhaps we may talk about
it someday.”
Hannah rolled her eyes and said, “We don‘t live in the same world. We can‘t talk.”
That sounded
familiar, and Hari quickly recalled that this was what the young ladies said when they mocked
Jessica in their gatherings before.
Although Hari didn‘t say anything back then, he didn‘t help Jessica, either. Thus, Hari said somewhat
embarrassedly, “I’m heading out.”
Before leaving, Hari couldn‘t help but look back. Jessica was still chatting with her friends. The hottest
guy among them, Caesar or something like that, had just changed a drink for Jessica
That was sweet.
Hari tore his eyes away from Jessica and quickly caught up with Lucas.
