Chapter 8

Jessica slapped Olivia, but Lucas did not take revenge on Jessica for hig sister. So as soon an Oliviareturned to the Thomas villa, she ran to Justin and complained,

When Justin heard that Jessica had come back to LA, he was filled with fury again

Justin immediately called Lucas and asked him to bring Jessica over the next day so that she couldkneel and apologize

“Grandpa, we are divorced.” Lucas said calmly

"So what? She released the video. If we call the police, she will be thrown into prison/” Justincoughed as he spoke

“The police won't arrest her, because what she posted was exactly what had happened” Lucas was alittle impatient

Justin froze for a moment. When Justin came to his senses, Lucas had already hung up

Lucas threw his phone on the sofa and lit a cigar.

Three months after Jessica vanished, she came back as a formidable woman rather than Lucas’obedient wife she used to be

Just as Lucas took a puff of his cigar, his phone rang again. Feeling annoyed, he picked it up,

It was his friend, Hari. The music on the other end of the line was deafening. Lucas frowned andalmost wanted to hang up

“We are at LURE. You coming?” Hari sounded very excited

"No."

“Really? Lucas, but Jessica is here too. Oh, and her new lover, quite a hot guy.” Hari said

Jessica was dragged to LURE by Hannah, because Hannah, the nightclub queen, planned tocelebrate her birthday there

As soon as Jessica sat down, Hannah brought over a man. As they approached, Jessica recognizedthe man. It was the guy she and Hannah knew from school, Caesar Kim.

It had been a few years since Jessica last saw Caesar. He looked more handsome,

"When did you come back?” Jessica looked at the tall man and raised her eyebrows.

“Yesterday.” Caesar sat down next to Jessica. He took two drinks and handed one to her.

While they were recalling their old days in school, the staff of LURE moved the musical instrumentsand equipment to the stage. Hannah nudged Jessica and said excitedly. “Let's go and have somefun! Don't tell me you forgot how to beat the drums!”

"How could that be!” Jessica took the drum sticks and spun them around a few times beforefollowing Caesar and Hannah onto the stage.

Lucas had already heard the deafening noise inside before he even entered LURE.

He likes quiet places. To him, music like this was just noise,

Lucas located Hari, who was watching the performance, and asked with a frown, “Where's Jessica?”Hari pointed at the stage and said, “There. The one playing the drums. Lucas, did you really divorceJessica?”

“Sure did.” Lucas rolled his eyes at Hari.

“Then I declare now that Jessica is my new idol!"

Lucas’ gaze fell on Jessica, who was playing the drums. Under the spotlight, Lucas could tell thatJessica was no longer the dull girl she used to be.

Lucas, who was always cool and aloof, was dumbfounded. He had never seen Jessica like that beforeJessica's hands moved fast, and all the people in the nightclub were fascinated.

The performance was over. Jessica was talking to her friends when Hari suddenly appeared, “Jessica,you are a great drummer!”

Seeing Hari, Jessica's smile became fainter. “Hari, it's been a long time.”

“Indeed. It is.” Hari was immersed in Jessica's performance, completely forgetting how much he hadlooked down on her

Hari was lost in his own world. He went on, “You know what? Lucas is here, too. He is right over...”As Hari spoke, he turned around to look for Lucas, only to see Lucas walking out of the door. Lucaswas, after all, Hari's childhood buddy. Hari hesitate a bit but then decided to follow Lucas.However, before leaving, he said to Jessica, Jessica, I'm into rock'n'roll, too. Perhaps we may talkabout it someday.”

Hannah rolled her eyes and said, “We don't live in the same world. We can't talk.”

That sounded familiar, and Hari quickly recalled that this was what the young ladies said when theymocked Jessica in their gatherings before.

Although Hari didn’t say anything back then, he didn't help Jessica, either. Thus, Hari said somewhatembarrassedly, “I'm heading out.”

Before leaving, Hari couldn't help but look back. Jessica was still chatting with her friends. Thehottest guy among them, Caesar or something like that, had just changed a drink for Jessica

That was sweet.

Hari tore his eyes away from Jessica and quickly caught up with Lucas.
