Remarriage: His Billionaire Ex-wife Novel – “If you can’t apologize to Trissy, I’ll divorce you.”Lucas kicked me in the knee, forcing me to kneel on the ground. “I didn’t push Trissy into the water. She jumped down by herself!” I stumbled to my feet and said calmly,”I know you don’t believe me, so I agree divorce.” Three years ago, I was determined to marry Lucas. Yet in the end, the past three years only proved how wrong I am. I tucked my hair behind my ear and looked at Lucas. “I’ve prepared a gift for you and Trissy. I think you will enjoy it.” At eight in the evening, I arrived at the airport and boarded a plane to New York. At the same time, a well-known reporter released a video on YouTube. The video showed how Trissy and I fell into the pool. “Don’t believe me? Jessica, do you think Lucas will hate you to death or not if I fall into the pool and lose the child?” … As soon as the video and audio were released, the entire social network was boiling.
“Trissy, please don’t send any messages to Lucas late at night. He’s my husband.” Trissy was Lucas’first love, but she had married Lucas’ elder brother. These days, Trissy had been pestering Lucas all the time. That troubled Jessica a lot, so she had to talk to Trissy in person. “Only legally. He is in love with ME. But you don’t have to worry. I will make him leave you.” Trissy sneered, not taking what Jessica said seriously. Today was Justin Thomas’70th birthday. He was the CEO of Thomas Group, the best-known enterprise in Los Angeles. Suddenly, the banquet was interrupted by some servants out in the garden. “Help! Help! Jessica and Trissy fell into the swimming pool!” People hurried to the pool. Before everyone else could react, Lucas had already jumped into the pool. However,Lucas ignored his wife,Jessica,who was struggling in the water. Instead, Lucas carried Trissy to the ground and left without looking back. People finally came to their senses too and followed Lucas to the villa, After a long time, Jessica finally made it to the ground. People had all left. Nobody cared about her life at all. Ever since married Lucas, Jessica had gotten used to being ignored by the Thomas family.
Jessica was about to go back to change her clothes, but she was stopped by Lucas at the stairs. “You are so vicious! How could you push Trissy into the pool? Don’t you know she’s pregnant?”Lucas looked at Jessica coldly. Jessica’s whole body was drenched to the skin. “How is Trissy? Lucas, listen to me. I didn’t push her.” Jessica explained eagerly. “Trissy lost her baby. Before she fainted, she said it was you that pushed her into the pool. I don’t believe Trissy would lie.” Lucas said angrily. “I didn’t do that. Why don’t you believe me?” With her eyes turning red, Jessica looked at Lucas sadly. “Shut up! Keep your made-up story to Grandpa.” Lucas ignored the despair in Jessica’s eyes. He stood up and pulled Jessica’s arm, intending to take her to the meeting room. As the most beloved grandson of Justin Thomas as well as the future heir of the Thomas Group, Lucas had always been impartial. Besides, Lucas hated Jessica, his wife, a lot. “I can walk by myself.”
Jessica got rid of Lucas’ hand. “Then follow up.” Lucas didn’t give Jessica a second look. He turned around and walked quickly to the meeting room. Looking at Lucas’ tall figure from the back, Jessica felt she was overwhelmed by sorrow. She used to be so obsessed with Lucas, yet Lucas hated her so much. The birthday banquet was interrupted. And Trissy lost the baby she had with the eldest grandson of Thomas’ family. Justin was furious. Thus, when Justin saw Jessica walk in, he directly threw his mug over. The hot coffee splashed all over Jessica. Jessica couldn’t help but cry out in pain. Justin yelled at Jessica,”Kneel down!”Jessica asked calmly, “Why should I?” Justin looked at Lucas angrily and said, “Lucas, are you waiting for me to explain to your wife?” Jessica was about to retort when Lucas pressed her shoulder. “If you can’t calm Grandpa down today, I’ll divorce you.” Lucas kicked Jessica in the knee, forcing her to kneel on the ground.
“I am your wife! How can you do this to me?” Although Jessica knew that Lucas did not love her, she could not bear it when her husband, to whom she had been married for three years, was so merciless to her. Jessica felt a sharp pain in her knees, even though it was far less than the pain in her heart. “Jessica, if you confess to Trissy and are willing to accept punishment, I may still allow you to stay in this house,” Justin said to Jessica. “I already said that I didn’t push Trissy, so I won’t apologize.”Before Jessica could finish, Justin had already thrown another mug over. The mug shattered on the ground, and the shards hit Jessica, but she did not move. “Lucas, I hope you can persuade your wife. For God’s sake, Trissy is still in a coma in the hospital. What a poor child!” Justin stood up and left the meeting room. – “Jessica, get up now. The shards are all over you.” After Justin left, Rebecca, Lucas’ mother, hurried over, trying to help Jessica up. “Mom, wait.”
Lucas reached out to stop Rebecca. He then looked down at Jessica and asked, “Did you hear what Grandpa just said? Do you know what you have done wrong now?” “Lucas, I think I’ve made it very clear. I didn’t push Trissy. I did nothing wrong.” Although Jessica was trembling with cold, she looked at Lucas firmly. She wouldn’t give in. “Very well. Butler! Take her to the pool. She will have to figure out what she has done wrong there.” Lucas nodded at the butler, beckoning him to come over and take Jessica away. Rebecca shook her head in disagreement and said to Lucas,”Jessica is your wife. How can you treat her like that?” “Such a vicious woman can’t be my wife,” Lucas replied coldly. Jessica suddenly felt a shooting pain in her heart. Originally, she planned to show Lucas the evidence so that Lucas would know he had blamed her wrongly. But now, she decided not to bother. With that, Lucas left without looking back.
As Lucas walked away, Jessica felt that her feelings for Lucas were perishing as well. The butler glanced at Rebecca. Lucas was second only to Justin in the Thomas family, so the butler did not dare to disobey Lucas. The butler bowed slightly to Jessica, who was sitting on the ground, and said, “Jessica, please do not make things difficult for me.” “Go tell Lucas that I’m not going anywhere. I’m going back to my room to take a shower and change my clothes.” Jessica said as she stood up. She shook off the shards on her pants and calmly walked upstairs, leaving Rebecca and the butler in surprise. After Jessica returned to her room, she slowly took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Then she put all her belongings into her suitcase. After all this was done, Jessica sat at the dressing table to comb her hair, when Lucas suddenly stormed in. Before Jessica could say anything, Lucas pulled her wrist, almost making her fall from her chair.
“Lucas, are you out of your mind?” “I’m not, but you are. You hurt Trissy, and you don’t think you’ve done anything wrong.” With indifference in his eyes, Lucas said fiercely, “Jessica, apologize to Trissy and beg for her forgiveness, or get out of this house!” “That’s enough!” Jessica felt that Lucas almost broke her wrist. She struggled and shouted, “I didn’t push Trissy into the water. She jumped down by herself!” Lucas froze at her words, and Jessica took this chance to get rid of Lucas’ grip. Jessica stumbled to her feet, looked at the guy she used to love, and said calmly,”I know you don’t believe me, so let’s get a divorce, Lucas.”Lucas thought that his anger would make Jessica yield. However, not only did Jessica not confess, but she even asked for a divorce. With that, Jessica opened the door and left. She moved slowly because she felt sore all over her body.
She was soaked after falling into the water and didn’t get changed in time. But even so, she still did not look back at Lucas. Jessica took her suitcase and left the Thomas villa. Standing outside the gate, Jessica called her friend Hannah. Shortly, Hannah drove over. “Why are you standing here alone? Did Lucas drive you out? That jerk!” Hannah asked as she quickly got out of the car and ran to Jessica. “I decided to leave. Hannah, I want a divorce.” Looking at Hannah, Jessica said. “Are you sure?” Gazing at Jessica, Hannah tried to figure out how determined Jessica was. As Jessica’s friend, Hannah knew how much Jessica loved Lucas. Jessica nodded hard, and Hannah breathed a sigh of relief.”Darling, finally! Lucas is not worthy of you at all. Let’s get out of here. Don’t be sad. Let’s find a bar and have some fun so that you can get over that jerk.” – When Jessica woke up, it was already the next morning. She had a French feast with Hannah yesterday evening, and then had some drinks and danced the whole night. They got home early in the morning.
Jessica felt as if she had been crushed by a car after a hangover. She felt weak and sore. Hanna walked into Jessica’s room with a glass of milk and handed it to her. “The news on the Internet spreads fast.” “Really? I’m a little interested now. Where is my phone?” Jessica took a sip of milk and took over her phone, handed over by Hannah. Jessica logged in to Twitter and started swiping. The top of the trending topics was about Jessica pushing Trissy into the water at Justin’s birthday party. Jessica swiped her phone and read the comments casually. Almost all were scolding Jessica for being vicious. And some people exposed Jessica’s ordinary background, saying Jessica was not worthy of a rich person like Lucas. Some even assumed that Jessica might have played some tricks to marry into such a wealthy family. The public was particularly interested in the scandal of the rich families while Trissy happened to enjoy exposing her life to the public.
This made the Thomas family almost become a second Kardashian. “Jessica, don’t be sad because of these harsh comments.” Hannah comforted Jessica. “Sad?” Jessica smiled. She then took out a document from her bag and handed it to Hannah, “Take a look.” Hannah opened the folder in confusion and realized it was a divorce agreement. She looked at Jessica in surprise and quickly browsed through the contents of the document.”Sweetie, why did you give up on the alimony? Lucas should pay it!” “I don’t care about the money. Come on, get the car key and we’ll go to Lucas’ office later.” Jessica finished the milk in one gulp and walked into the bathroom with her cosmetic bag. Three years had passed and Jessica didn’t want to wait for Lucas anymore. An hour later, Jessica walked directly into the Thomas Group’s office building in Los Angeles with the divorce agreement. Lucas, who was sitting in his office, was also informed of Jessica’s arrival by his secretary.
“Let her in.” Lucas told his secretary. “I see, Mr. Thomas.” The secretary nodded and left the office. Jessica walked directly to Lucas’ office in her high heels. She knocked on the door and pushed it open before the door was answered. She casually threw the document on Lucas’desk and said,”Tomorrow at 9 o’clock, we’ll go through the divorce procedures. I hope you will be there on time.” With that, Jessica turned around and left without hesitation. Sitting at his desk, Lucas saw Jessica off. His eyes gradually darkened. He reached out and took the divorce document. Jessica had already signed it. The regulations on it were very clear that Jessica had given up on any property of Lucas, including the alimony. Lucas couldn’t help but sneer. That woman wanted nothing?How could Jessica be so assertive? Or perhaps Jessica was just pretending, trying to make Lucas feel that she didn’t care about his money? Lucas decided to see if Jessica was really going to divorce him the next day or if she was just playing some tricks. Jessica left the office building in a great mood.
She originally thought that she would be sad when the two of them had to part ways, but she was surprisingly calm. Perhaps Jessica had been disappointed too many times. Now that she had decided to part with Lucas, she felt more than relieved. Jessica walked to the car and knocked on the window. Hannah was answering the phone, and when Hannah saw that it was Jessica, she hurriedly opened the door. Jessica silently sat in the car. She fastened her seat belt and looked up. And Hannah was passing her phone over. “Who is that?” Jessica raised her eyebrows. “Mr.Hall.” Jessica paused for a moment. A few seconds later, she took the phone and said, “Dad.” “It’s been three years. Isn’t it time for my dearest girl to come home?”The familiar voice came from the other side of the line, and Jessica’s eyes immediately became moist. Three years ago, Jessica was determined to marry Lucas. Her parents and friends were all against it, but Jessica insisted on it.
She believed that if she treated Lucas sincerely, she would be treated the same way in return. Yet in the end, the past three years only proved how wrong Jessica is. It turned out that Lucas married her not because he loved her, or he admired her, but because Jessica was Lucas’ second choice when Trissy was not an option. Thinking of that, Jessica’s tears finally flowed down. – 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 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 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, the judge is already waiting for us.” Jessica nodded at Lucas. “Have you thought it through?” Lucas’ face darkened. “I have.” Jessica answered, word by word. Jessica didn’t think it through when she decided to marry him. Now that three years had passed, Jessica had finally sobered up. She couldn’t think it through more. 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 lost her child because of you. You should apologize to her.” 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. “You’re right, so I’ve prepared a gift for Trissy. I think she will enjoy it.”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.” Three years ago, for the sake of Lucas, Jessica had left New York, where her parents lived. Now that Lucas and Jessica were done, she didn’t want to stay in LA anymore.
However, before leaving, she had to give Trissy the gift she had prepared, so she said to Hannah, “You can get someone to send out the video I sent you.”Didn’t Lucas ask her to apologize to Trissy all the time? Jessica was going to “apologize” to Trissy now, hoping that Trissy would love the gift. Hannah said excitedly,”No problem, I’ve been waiting for you to say that. Wait for me, I’ll make a call now. Let’s go back to New York together tonight!” “What about your studio in LA?” Jessica asked in surprise. “It’s just a lousy studio that doesn’t have any profits. I quit.” Hannah waved her hands. Jessica knew that a girl like Hannah, who was brought up in a rich family, didn’t need to worry about money at all. The reason why Hannah opened a studio in LA is to be here with Jessica. Jessica was touched by what Hannah had done for her.
At eight in the evening, Jessica and Hannah arrived at the airport and boarded a plane to New York. At the same time, a well-known reporter from the Los Angeles Times released a video on YouTube. The video showed how Trissy and Jessica fell into the pool on Justin’s birthday. In the video, Jessica did not touch Trissy at all. People could clearly see Trissy jump into the pool by herself and swim into the deeper water area. Only Trissy and Jessica were by the pool that night, and their conversation could be heard clearly. “Trissy, please don’t send any messages to Lucas late at night. He’s my husband.” “Only legally. He is in love with ME. But you don’t have to worry. I will make him leave you. “Don’t believe me? Jessica, do you think Lucas will hate you to death or not if I fall into the pool and lose the child? “As long as I tell Lucas that you pushed me, the Thomas family will believe me. Your explanation will be useless. Do you know why? Don’t you know who you are? Do you think a ordinary person is qualified to be a member of the Thomas family?” As soon as the video and audio were released, the entire social network was boiling. The scandal in the Thomas family was still among the hottest topics, yet a reversal then came. People were all shocked.
