Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas)

Chapter 39

Jession sat up and drew back the curtains. The sky was not bright yet, and a tinge of light orange could be seen on the honton

Jessica narrowed her eyes slightly and grabbed a sweater and put it on. Then, she wore a pair of soft, fluffy slippers and shuffled into the bathroom. After that, she turned on the speakerphone.

"Many Instagram users have uploaded photos of us when we went out for dinner last night. In these picture, you and uncle Hall are holding hands. The people we met yesterday were none other than Olivia and Trissy. It's either Olivia or Thissy who took these photos."

Jessica was brushing her teeth and didn't have time to respond. She just gave a vague answer.

Hannah was just an onlooker in the beginning. She did not expect such a funny gossip about them early in the moming.

The screenshots were sent to Hannah by Mona. Both of them were all killing themselves laughing. The person who spread the rumor that Jessica was kept by her father was a "talent".

"Do you want me to find someone to make an investigation? It's not difficult to find out the truth. Anyway, there are screenshots. I'll ask Mona who it is."

Jessica rinsed her mouth and washed her face with warm water. Then she picked up her phone and said, "Do you want to help me, or do you do it out of curiosity?" Hannah smiled, "It works both ways."

Jessica snorted, "I don't need it."

After all, evildoers would expose themselves soon.

Hannah was a little disappointed with Jessica's answer. "Do you mean it?"

"Are you too idle to do anything else, Hannah?" Jessica asked.

Then she threw her phone on the bed and sat by the dressing table and started to use skincare products.

Hannah could hear the anger in Jessica's words. She chickened out. "I'm busy. It's half-past seven. You should go to work. Bye!"

Hannah hung up the phone quickly.

Jessica smiled and picked up her phone and was ready to prepare her breakfast.

The rumor was spread merely among Instagram users from upper social circles of LA. But everyone who should know about it knew it already.

When Morgan came to inspect, Megan showed a totally different attitude toward Jessica. He was no longer at loggerheads with her. Instead, he kept praising her.

Morgan thought that Megan had seen through their relationship. As he was wondering, his secretary suddenly called him at lunchtime to tell him that the rumor had been spread to his wife, May.

Morgan felt wronged. He came over and had a meal with Jessica and Hannah. It was Jessica who sent him back to the hotel last night. How could he, who was in his fifties, go out to seek pleasure at midnight?

It was only after receiving a call from May that Jessica found out that the news had reached her mother. She raised her hand to rub her temples and made a concise explanation for Morgan.

When May heard this, she became even anarier. "Who is this ill-bred girl? Find her out. I will definitely go to see

who her parents are!"

May hung up the phone with extreme anger before Jessica had time to say gomething.

Morgan's face darkened when he heard the whole story, "Are you saying that someone is saying that I'm your sugar daddy?"

It did not sound right, but the rumor was spread this way. Jessica was a little embarrassed. "Dad, it's true."

Morgan raised his hand and slapped the table. "Who did this immoral thing? Is it the Thomas family?"

Jessica glanced at Morgan and said, "I'm not sure yet.".

How could Morgan not understand? He had met Olivia and Trissy last night when he stayed with Jessica. Morgan had been in the business world for so many years. He was so familiar with these dirty tricks. "She is going too far!"

Jessica was worried about Morgan, who was in a fit of temper, so she comforted him quickly, "Dad, calm down. I will get someone to investigate it."

"Yes! Your mother is right! What an ill-bred girl! If you find out who she is, I will pay a visit with your mom to see who her parents are!"

Morgan had long wanted to settle old scores with the Thomas family, but Jessica had always stopped him. Now that the opportunity was presented to him, no matter what Jessica said, Morgan would not give

in.

Jessica knew that Morgan was worried about her. It was that stupid Olivia's bad. She did not want to pick fights with the Thomas family, but they didn't cherish it. So, Then Jessica decided to settle old scores with them.

Jessica made a cup of tea for Morgan. "Dad, I got it. I'll get Wendy to investigate." Morgan was too angry. Jessica felt worried and comforted him immediately.

Morgan didn't calm down until Jessica spoke for a while. "If the Thomas family was the wrongdoer, you can't stop ne and your mother this time."

essica smiled helplessly. "I won't do it this time." etting her promise, Morgan nodded in satisfaction.

e had long been angry with the Thomas family. If the rumor was spread by them, he would by no means let them t by with the punishment!
