"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, Max. Since Max died, 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 the dinner for the announcement of the new CEO of the Thomas Group, the most famous enterprise in LA, to take over the affairs of the group.
Justin Thomas, the original CEO, Lucas' grandfather, announced that the new CEO is Lucas in front of the entire upper—class circle in LA.
Suddenly, the banquet was interrupted by some servants out in the garden.
"Help! Help! Jessica and Trissy fell down the stairs!"
People hurried to the garden. Before everyone else could react, Lucas had already picked up Trissy, who was unconscious on the floor.
However, Lucas ignored his wife, Jessica, who was lying on the cold ground. Instead, Lucas carried Trissy and left without looking back.
People finally came to their senses too and followed Lucas to the villa.
After a long time, Jessica gradually came to her senses, she realized that she was lying on the cold 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.
Holding her sore arm, Jessica prepared to go back to her room to shower and check for cuts, but she had only reached the stairs when Lucas called out to her.
"You are so vicious! How could you push Trissy downstairs? Don't you know she's ill?" Lucas looked at Jessica coldly. Jessica's whole body was full of dust.
"How is Trissy? Lucas, listen to me. I didn't push her." Jessica explained eagerly.
"Before she fainted, she said it was you that pushed her, and then she dragged you, that's why you both fell down the stairs together. 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.
"Isn't it just because Trissy was about to fall at the beginning of the party and I helped her, and you were jealous and looking for her to settle the score? Well I don't want to hear your sophistry. 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 with her painful arm.
"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 announcement procedure of the new CEO was interrupted. 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, "You son of a bitch."
Jessica asked calmly, "I don't know what I've done wrong."
Justin looked at Lucas angrily and said, "Lucas, are you waiting for me to explain to your wife?"
"If you can't calm Grandpa down today, I'll divorce you." Lucas kicked Jessica in the knee, causing her already painful legs to sit limply on the ground because they couldn't take the force.
"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.
"Then from today you don't live in Thomas house, people like you don't deserve to be in the same house as us!" 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.
When Jessica got back to her room, she checked her wounds first, and luckily she only scraped a little skin on her arms and legs.
She gave herself medicine and changed into clean clothes, then she packed her belongings one by one 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, the first thing Trissy did when she woke up was ask us not to blame you, saying that it was her own actions that made you misunderstand, and you continue to feel no guilt about hurting her!"
"That's enough!" Jessica felt that Lucas almost broke her wrist. She struggled and shouted, "She rolled down the stairs by herself, I didn't touch her at all!"
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.
But even so, she still did not look back at Lucas.
"Jessica! Where are you going?" Lucas' sister, Olivia saw Jessica heading out with her suitcase and she asked loudly, "You're not stealing from the house and trying to go out and sell it, are you?"
"Olivia, what are you talking about?" Rebecca frowned and nudged Olivia.
"I don't care even 1 bulk of Thomas'." Jessica retorted in a rare moment, and Olivia immediately got angry and tried to argue with her, but Jessica had already turned around and left.
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 bastard!" 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 dickhead."
