Chapter 142


    Although Morgan didn’t say much, the guests could still tell from the way Morgan looked at Jessica that


    he loved his daughter very much.


    Besides, the assets of the Hall family were priceless. It would be hard to tell how much money Jessica


    would possess.


    Morgan always protected his daughter well. No one had ever found out who Morgan’s daughter was


    unless Jessica told them about her identity herself.


    Although some had made a guess, the guests still made some noise when they heard it from Morgan.


    “So she is Morgan’s daughter. She is so beautiful, like a star


    ‘What are you talking about? Miss Hall is much nobler than a star. Think about how much money she


    has now! Billions!”


    “I heard that Miss Hall is still single now? I wonder if she has any intentions to wed for business’s


    sake.”


    Discussions broke out among the audience. On such an asion, everyone tried to say something


    nice.


    The smile on Morgan’s face deepened. After he thanked a few big shots, he handed the microphone to


    Jessica.


    Jessica calmly took the microphone over and stood there with a smile. She then began her speech.


    “Hello everyone, I’m Jessica. Thank you all foring to my birthday party…”


    The haute couture dress she wore today was worth 100,000 dors.


    With a smile on her face, Jessica looked confident and calm. People couldn’t help but admire Jessica


    when seeing her on stage.


    After Jessica finished her speech, the emcee continued to praise her. Soon, it was time for the cake-


    cutting session.


    Jessica walked to the stage to cut the cake with Morgan. Hannah also came up to help. It took them

    half an hour to divide and serve the cake. Only then did Jessica have time to leave the stage.


    As soon as Jessica took a sip of red wine, Hannah came over and said, “Terry seems to have left, but


    Lucas is there all the time.”


    Hannah raised her eyebrows and pointed at Lucas, who was holding a piece of cake without eating it.


    Ever since Hannah knew about Terry’s rumored girlfriend, she didn’t like Terry, either.


    Jessica nced at Lucas and quickly retracted her gaze. Just as she was about to speak, Terry walked


    over. “Miss Hall, I have something to tell you.”


    Jessica tumed to look at Terry. ‘What is it about, Mr. Davison?“


    Terry nced at Hannah, which annoyed her at once. “Mr. Davison, you are not in a rtionship with


    Jess. What do you want to say on earth? Why should I walk away?”


    Terry didn’t speak and just looked at Jessica.


    Jessica smiled and looked at Terry. “If it’s a secret, you don’t have to tell me, Mr. Davison.”


    Hannah nodded and red at Terry proudly. “Alright Terry gave in He looked around and said, “This is


    not a good ce to talk:


    Jessica looked at the guests around her, who seemed to be peaking at them. She nodded and said 10


    Terry, ‘This way,


    please.”


    Terry and Hannah followed Jessica all the way. They left the venue and went to the terrace garden.


    “What does Mr. Davison want to say?” Jessica looked at Terry and asked.


    Terry nodded, and the smile in his brown eyes faded a little. “The girl the other day is not my girlfriend.”


    Suddenly, he lowered his head, leaned in, and spoke into Jessica’s ear, “Will you believe me, Jessica?”


    “Mind your manners!” Hannah pulled Jessica away from Terfy a little.


    Jessica’s heart skipped a beat as Terry hovered over her. When she came back to her senses, Lucas,


    who seemed to show up out of nowhere, had dragged Terry away. Then, Jessica saw Lucas punch


    Terry right in the face.


    In pain, Terry took a deep breath.


    Jessica quickly stepped forward to stop Lucas. “Lucas, have you lost your mind?”


    Lucas did lose his mind. When he saw Terry pressing his body against Jessica’s, he could no longer


    hold himself back.


    Lucas nced at Jessica and said, “He just wants to toy with you, Jessica!”


    Jessica frowned. “Let go of him first.”


    Lucas did not let go. His clenched fist was still in the air.


    It was her birthday party today, so Jessica did not want to make a scene. “Lucas, let go.”


    Jessica softened her expression and looked at Lucas as she spoke gently.


    Lucas nced at Terry, who had got a punch. The corner of Terry’s mouth was bleeding.


    Terry looked at Lucas and mouthed, “Loser!”


    Lucas read Terry’s lips and tightened his grip again. “Jessica, stand away.” Jessica still wanted to stop


    Lucas. Yet to her surprise, Terry also loosened his tie.


    Jessica found the two immature. She then said, “Fine then, gentlemen. Fight as you wish.”
