Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas)

Chapter 135

Jessica chuckled when she heard Luna's words. She really didn't see that coming.

"Did I hear you right? What, Miss Cheek? Are you a marriage counselor now? But I still have to remind you that I have divorced Mr. Thomas."

"No, Miss Hall.' Luna waved her hands nervously as if she was afraid that Jessica would get her wrong. She continued, 'I think there's a misunderstanding between the two of us." "Misunderstanding?" Jessica repeated the word slowly. She saw a flash of resentment in Luna's eyes.

"Well, not precisely misunderstanding. I did something wrong and caused you some trouble because I was jealous of you. If you are still angry, I apologize to you." Luna put on her usual fragile and timid look again.

'Miss Hall, Lucas shouldn't have married you to protect me. That was his fault. But it was in the past. You've been together for three years and there must have been a bond between you two. My family is far inferior to yours, Miss Hall, and Justin will never allow me to marry Lucas. I can't be too selfish and let Lucas be single for my sake. Don't worry. I will leave LA. I hope you can consider marrying him again." Jessica thought Luna should have gone to Hollywood. She could make a good actress.

"Miss Cheek, do you think I am a landfill or something?" Jessica lowered her head to take a sip of coffee and slowly said, 'Did Mr.

Thomas know what you just talked to me about?"

"I will talk to Lucas. I came here today just to beg you. Please give Lucas a second chance. I know that you still hate him because of me. But I don't think you are the kind of person who only cares about love and relationships, Miss Hall. With your family background and Lucas', you two will make a strong alliance." The more Luna spoke, the more excited she became. Her face was slightly blushed, as if she was really thinking for Jessica's sake.

Jessica just listened, then put on a snide smile. “Miss Cheek, as far as I know, your family possesses nothing but a shell company. and it was on the verge of bankruptcy three years ago. Considering the scale of your family's business, you still believe it's your duty to worry about the future of the Hall family and the Thomas family. That's very generous of you."

"How could you..." Luna's face finally turned grim when she heard that. She hated it when others teased her about her family background.

When Luna first came back to Los Angeles, she thought that Jessica was just a nobody and did not take her seriously. Now that Jessica had become the only daughter of the richest man in New York, Luna couldn't be more jealous.

And Jessica even openly mocked the Cheek family. Luna felt ashamed and resentful.

"What? End of your show?" Jessica sneered and stood up from her seat. She looked down at Luna and said, "Miss Cheek, I don't know what you are up to today, but a kind reminder: if your target is Mr. Thomas, don't waste your time on me.'

After saying that, Jessica turned to leave. "Miss Hall:

Jessica heard Luna call her from behind.

Jessica frowned. She turned around to see what else Luna had got, only to find Luna standing there with a cup of coffee in her hands, Luna was about to splash the coffee on Jessica. Jessica subconsciously pushed Luna and took a step back.

However, the coffee did not splash on Jessica.

Luna, on the contrary, let out a pretentious scream and fell to the ground after that slight push. And she splashed all the coffee on herself, leaving a huge stain on her white blouse. Just as Jessica was about to ask Luna what was going on, a familiar male voice suddenly came from behind her.

"What are you doing?"

Jessica tumed her head around. It was Lucas.

Jessica tumed to look at Luna, who was sitting on the floor and crying. Jessica could tell what was going on here.

"Miss Hall, I meant to apologize to you. Please stop humiliating me. Luna got up from the floor, looking quite miserable. She quietly looked at Lucas and began to weep.

The surrounding employees and the guests who came to the Hall Group for business all looked over.

"When did I humiliate you? You were the one who wanted to pour coffee on me. I only pushed you lightly. Jessica said peacefully.

"But this is clearly your coffee cup. Why would I take your cup?"
