Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas)

Chapter 205

The next day, Jessica was in her office, dealing with some contracts, when Wendy walked in with a lot of documents.

After Jessica signed the documents, Wendy still didn't leave. She hedged a bit before she said to Jessica, "Miss Hall, there's one more thing you need to know."

Seeing Wendy hedging, Jessica chuckled. "What, Wendy? Is there something so bad that even you don't dare to mention?"

Wendy shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't dare say. It was just that she didn't know how to say it. "I've got the news. Justin seems to have gone to New York. He is going to visit Mr. and Mrs. Hall with gifts."

Upon hearing Wendy's words, Jessica immediately understood Justin's intention. "He can do whatever he wants. My parents won't agree to what he asks."

bat he asks.

Not everyone was as peacockish as Justin.

Wendy nodded. It was indeed annoying. But Justin was no commoner. It wasn't proper to stop him from meeting Jessica's parents.

The smile on Jessica's face faded.

At the same time, at the Hall's house in New York.

When Morgan learned that Justin was here, he immediately stopped working and rushed back home.

Over twenty years ago, Morgan had once worked with Justin not long after he had just started his business. Justin had indeed made a lot of achievements in the business world. He was very talented and bold. However, Morgan didn't agree with the way Justin handled his social relations.

Later, when Morgan learned that Jessica had suffered a lot in the Thomas family, he started to hate Justin.

Some time ago, the news of Lucas and Jessica getting back together was spread widely. Mr. and Mrs. Halls were worried. But Jessica had said that it was a mere misunderstanding, and she would take care of it.

Jessica had always been independent and Morgan also believed in his daughter. Therefore, Morgan and May never mentioned Lucas' name in front of their daughter. They didn't want to upset Jessica.

Yet now, Justin has arrived in New York to visit Jessica's parents. Morgan knew it must be related to Jessica and Lucas.

Justin arrived at the Hall's place at around four o'clock in the afternoon. May happened to be at home today, so she had to receive Justin with a fake smile.

Justin was a cunning man. He never hit the point. Besides, he was an old man, so May had to treat him respectfully. May became a bit annoyed soon.

She hurried to have Morgan informed before he clocked off.

Hearing the engine sound of the car outside the villa, May was slightly relieved and continued to drink tea with her head down.

As soon as the car stopped, Morgan opened the door and got out of the car.

He hurried to enter the villa. When he arrived, he saw Justin sitting opposite his wife.

Morgan adjusted his expression and walked up with a polite smile. "Mr. Thomas, it's been a long time."

"Mr. Hall, it has indeed been a long time."

Justin laughed, coughing as he spoke.

Morgan instantly recalled the news

in which Justin was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night. It was said that Justin was in poor health, but he looked just fine to Morgan.

It was not the right time to talk about Justin's health condition. Thus, Morgan retracted his thoughts and sat beside May with a

smile. "Mr. Thomas, why didn't you inform us of your visit? In that case, I could have had someone pick you up."

Justin chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's not the first time I've come to New York. Besides, I'm here to discuss something big with you, Mr. Hall."

Morgan could guess Justin's intention, but he pretended to be puzzled. "What are you here for, Mr. Thomas?"

"Hah-hah, for a good thing. Something extremely good!"

Justin laughed and coughed a few more times. Then, he glanced at Dwayne behind him. "Dwayne, bring the documents over to Mr. Hall."

Dwayne then quickly took out the

prepared documents from his briefcase and placed them on the table before Morgan. "Mr. Hall, Mrs. Hall, this is the compensation Mr. Themas plans to offer to Miss Hall."

With that, Justin sighed. "Mr. Hall, I know that the Thomas family has let Jessica down, I know I didn't teach my grandchildren well, which was why Jessica had some unhappy. memories at our place. You know, I have been in hospital before. And I realized something important now. These days, whenever I think of Jessica, I feel that as an elder, I

haven't done a good job. Otherwise,

Jessica wouldn't have divorced

Lucas in disappointment."
