Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185
Jessica’s words upset both Lucas and Grace, whose faces turned sullen.
Lucas didn’t like it when Grace brought up their divorce again in public.
Grace, on the other hand, was angry because Terry hadn’t even glanced at her.
Just as Grace was about to lose control of her anger, Jessica slowly asked, “Miss Sandoval, are you targeting me because of Mr. Davison?”.
Grace glanced at Tony. She quickly calmed down after a moment of panic.
Grace felt that there was no need to hide her true feelings in front of her father.
“Good. So you know that. The Thomas family just abandoned you. Is that why you are so eager to ride on Terry’s coattails?”
Jessica sneered and ignored her.
“If only what you said was true. I would be so honored. It’s a pity that Miss Hall has been rejecting me all the time.” Terry chuckled and added.
“T!” Grace’s face turned pale when she heard Terry’s words.
Terry even laughed at himself to help Jessica.

“Miss Sandoval, I hope you can respect me. We are not that close. You should stop calling me T.”

Terry stood there with a cold expression. He glanced coldly at Grace, without any sympathy or affec tion.
“Shut up!” Tony roared at Grace because he couldn’t bear it any longer. And then, he glared at Grace and said through his teeth, “Get the hell back home. Is Miss Hall someone you can afford to offend?”
“Daddy, why are you so servile to her? We can do well without the Hall Group’s investment, too. Give her back the money for the shares.”
Tony had always doted on Grace, so Grace hardly saw Tony lose her temper. At that moment, she felt a little wronged and pulled Tony’s arm.
“What do you know? Miss Hall is now our biggest shareholder!” Tony angrily got rid of Grace.
“It seems that Miss Sandoval doesn’t want our meeting to go smoothly. Anyway, I’m just here to notify you of something.”
Jessica looked at Grace, who was stunned on the spot. She curled her lips into a smile. She gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and then looked at Tony and the other executives. “From today on, Tony Sandoval will be dismissed from his position as the chairman. The business of the Sandoval Group will be reported to my assistant, Wendy. The company’s business needs restructuring and I will inform ev eryone after some evaluation.”
Grace stood still and felt a chill rise from her feet and envelop her entire body.
She looked at Jessica in astonishment, unable to say a single word. Her palms and back were covered in a cold sweat.
Grace’s gaze fell on Tony. Tony looked awkward and defeated. He glanced at Grace with some resent ment and disgust that she had never seen before.
Jessica stood aside, satisfied with Grace’s constantly changing expression. Wasn’t Grace relying on her family to be a bully? How dared Grace find faults with her?
Grace was no longer a rich young lady after Jessica deprived Grace’s father of the chairman.
Thinking that Grace would have to face Tony’s anger, Jessica felt that revenge could be a good idea.
Jessica left after announcing her decision about the Sandoval Group. Lucas and Terry followed behind her, wanting to say something, but Jessica didn’t want to talk to them.
By the time Lucas and Terry walked out of the company, Jessica had left in a car.
“Mr. Thomas, you’re so generous.” Terry stood next to Lucas and chuckled when he found Lucas kept looking at Jessica’s car.
Lucas frowned, looked at Terry, and said coldly, “You don’t have to beat around the bush.”
“I wasn’t mocking you. Did you ask the senior Mr. Thomas for permission before giving Jessica ten per cent of the shares? I think he must be surprised that you’ve made such an impulsive decision.” Terry shrugged indifferently.
“Since I am the CEO of the Thomas Group, I have the right to make any decision about the company.” Lucas turned to look ahead and said, ‘I’m not like you, who are still protected by Mr. Davison. You are idle every day and only know about pursuing women.”
“Then I hope that I can win the beauty’s heart this time,” Terry said with a smile, not angry at all.
“Keeping dreaming!” Lucas sneered and then walked to his car. He opened the door and sat down.
