Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 11

 

Chapter 11 

The red wine trickled down from Olivia’s long hair as she screamed in disbelief. However, Jessica did not intend to stop there and grabbed Olivia’s wrist. Yet when Jessica was about to make a move, Lucas suddenly grabbed her hand.

“That’s enough, Jessica!”

“I don’t think so.” Jessica sneered and tore off Olivia‘s bracelet. She threw a check in Olivia’s face and said, “It’s just a 100,000-dollar bracelet. Here it is 200,000 dollars. You can get two.”

With that, Jessica left with Hannah. When Olivia finally came back to her senses, she nearly blew up.

Olivia wanted to catch up with Jessica, but Lucas stopped her.

“Haven’t you had enough?” Lucas said coldly

Jessica seemed to be wearing the earrings from the Moon and the Sun‘ series,” said a guest.

“So she did. Her bracelet and her earrings come in a set. The series is limited. Each set is worth no less than 3 million dollars.”

After that many people looked over at Jessica Soon, another guest said, “Jessica seems to be wearing Tomie’s design. The dress must be bespoke. That costs at least 300,000 dollars.”

“That’s interesting. The total value of Miss Hall‘s outfit is no less than 5 million dollars, but Miss Thomas accused Miss Hall of stealing her bracelet.”

The guests kept gossiping. Olivia had thought about defending herself, but when she heard their disdainful comments, she felt too ashamed to speak up.

With her teeth gritted, Olivia looked in the direction Jessica had left.

The Thomas family had always been renowned in Los Angeles. But Olivia, the daughter of the Thomas family, lost all her dignity today

Olivia ran to the lounge, crying all the way along.

Jessica left the banquet hall and called her driver. She then headed for the bathroom.

Jessica touched up her makeup and walked out. She was a little absent–minded when she thought of what had just happened.

“What are you thinking about? You can’t regret drenching Olivia with the wine, right?” Hannah couldn’t help but ask when she saw Jessica in a daze.

“I regret giving her the money,” said Jessica after she came back to her senses. “I’m not hard up, but my money doesn’t grow on trees.”

 

Jessica took the check over and put it away. She looked up at Lucas and smiled. “Thank you, but I won’t apologize. I know Olivia too well. She will take revenge on me sooner or later. I’m looking forward to that.”
