Chapter 4

• Jessica suddenly cried, making Hannah, who was beside her, feel sad. They had been friends since they were little.
• For so many years, Jessica had always been a smart and noble young princess. Hannah had never seen Jessica being ill—treated like now.
• It was all Lucas Thomas' fault!
• A few minutes later, Jessica gradually calmed down. She took the tissue and wiped her tears. She took out a mirror to fix her makeup. Jessica quickly adjusted her mood and turned to look at Hannah. She asked, "Hannah, I heard that your cousin knows reporters from the Los Angeles Times? Is he interested in an exclusive report?"
• "No problem, I will call my cousin Eden right now." Hannah froze for a moment and then figured out what Jessica planned to do. Hannah then took out her phone.
• Jessica nodded and looked out through the window.
• After three years, Jessica finally accepted the fact that she could not replace Trissy in Lucas' heart. She lost.
• However, Jessica would not let the Thomas family get away with the ill—treatment she had received in the past three years.
• "Do you want to hang out tonight?" After Hannah hung up the phone, she turned to look at Jessica and asked.
• "Nope. Tomorrow is a big day." Jessica smiled.
• Jessica went to bed before ten in the evening, yet Hannah didn't stop quarreling with the strangers who blamed Jessica on Twitter. Thus, Hannah had trouble getting up the next morning.
• When Hannah rubbed her eyes as she walked out of the door, Jessica was already ready to go.
• Today, Jessica had a simple and sexy outfit. She wore a loose dark brown sweater, with her long blonde hair down on her shoulders, and a pair of dark blue denim pants. The black high heels she wore revealed her slender ankles.
• Hannah nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go, say goodbye to the past and embrace the future."
• Jessica opened the door with a smile and walked out of the room.
• When Jessica arrived at the entrance of the court, Lucas had not arrived yet. Yesterday, she had already asked the lawyer to submit the divorce application to the court. Thus, she only needs to go through the process today.
• Five minutes later, Jessica saw Lucas walking in from outside the gate.
• Lucas, as usual, was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his angular face expressionless.
• When Lucas noticed Jessica's gaze, he tilted his head slightly and looked coldly at her. In the past, Jessica would always immediately get close to him, but this time, she just stood there still, not intending to move at all.
• Lucas had to walk toward her.
• "Good morning Mr. Thomas, the judge is already waiting for us." Jessica nodded moodily toward Lucas.
• "Have you thought it through?" Lucas' face darkened, he thought Jessica was feigning relief.
• "I have." Jessica answered, word by word.
• Lucas looked gloomy. He frowned and said, "Very well. I hope you won't regret it in the future."
• After the divorce, Jessica would no longer be a member of the Thomas family, and she could not live a luxurious life anymore. Lucas thought that Jessica would definitely regret it when life became hard for her.
• The two did not speak again and walked into the court together.
• When they came out again, the two were no longer husband and wife. They were like strangers. After all, they could not even be considered friends.
• Lucas looked at Jessica and said, "Even though we are divorced, Trissy was hurt because of you, I think you should at least go to the hospital and take care of her until she recovers."
• A cold wind blew by, and Jessica felt that the wind was not as cold as her heart. Jessica found herself a fool that she once thought Lucas could stand on her side.
• Jessica tucked her hair behind her ear and looked at Lucas. "What? Can't the Thomas family even afford an escort anymore? If that's the case, I'll pass on the divorce gift I prepared for you to Trissy, and I hope she receives it for a speedy recovery."
• With that, Jessica took one last look at Lucas and left.
• Lucas looked at Jessica's tall and graceful figure from the back. He found that he had never sized Jessica up properly in all these years. Somehow, the thought troubled Lucas.
• Lucas never thought about divorcing Jessica, though he was not very willing to marry her.
• Now that they were really divorced, Lucas felt a bit sad as if he had lost something. But he quickly adjusted his mood. After all, Jessica was just a woman he was not in love with.
• When Jessica returned to Hannah's place, Hannah had already cleaned up the house. Hannah was putting the fried steak onto a plate, and the red wine was on the table as well.
• "Welcome back!" Hannah looked at Jessica excitedly. "Let's have a lavish meal today and hang out tonight."
• Jessica sat down in front of the table and smiled at Hannah. "No, I'm leaving LA tonight."
