Claiming Her Back

Chapter 29

Terry glanced at the man’s slippers and frowned. “I was wondering if this man and Ms. Hall had a good

relationship.”

Jessica smiled and turned to the kitchen, pouring two cups of coffee. She said, “I’m sorry to bother you,

Mr. Davison.”

She hadn’t expected Keith to call so soon.

Terry took the cup. “it’s okay. You’re my future girlfriend, and I don’t mind using my rights in advance.”

He paused for a moment. “Don’t worry. It’s okay. I’m even glad about it.”

Terry had his coffee and said he had to go.

Jessica slumped back on the couch. She saw the door that Terry had closed and raised an eyebrow. A

moment later, she walked into her room.

Terry was actually a very genteel man.

Jessica took a shower and sent a text message to Hannah. After that she turned off the light and fell

into a deep sleep.

The next day, Jessica woke up before the alarm went off.

The bedroom was pitch black. She glanced at the curtains and found it was still dark. It was not yet

dawn.

Jessica took out her phone. It was still very early. However, she slept quite well last night.

When she got up in the morning, Jessica was in a good mood. She decided to make herself a hearty

breakfast.

The weather today was not as nice as yesterday. It was dark outside, but Jessica was in a good mood.

“Ms. Hall, good morning.”

Jessica put down her handbag and looked at Wendy with a smile. “Wendy, good morning.”

Wendy sensed Jessica’s good mood. While handing Jessica the conference agenda, she said, “There’s

a party tonight, and Mr. Bell invited you to attend.”

“About what?”

“The government representative of Hidden Hills Town will be there.”

“I see.” Jessica raised an eyebrow.

Had Megan completely given up?

Jessica thought for a moment and said, “Confirm Megan’s recent plans.”

She was from the headquarters, but Megan often bothered her.

He’d been working on that project all along, and he just given it to her while not ending. It’s the most

sensitive timing now.

The Hall Group was going to build an amusement park in Hidden Hills, but that site was in Spring

Valley Village within Hidden Hills’ jurisdiction. Spring Valley Village was in the center of the amusement

park. This would destroy the integrity of the park.

Hall Group’s headquarters sent Megan a document in October of last year asking Megan to negotiate

compensation and buy the land.

Jessica and Lucas divorced last November. She come home and heard from Morgan that the Hall

Groud’s LA branch had not negotiated compensation yet Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Thirty eight of the forty-five occupants had signed the agreement. The remaining seven offered other

compensation packages

The matter was still unresolved.

Those who had signed the contract reneged and demanded a higher price.

The La branch of the Hall Group and Hidden Hills held a third negotiation. Jessica did not have the

right to determine the price of compensation.

Was Megan deliberately trying to make her negotiation fail?

Wendy immediately understood what Jessica was thinking. “Ms. Hall, I understand.”

Jessica nodded her head and watched Wendy leave. Her good mood today was ruined by Megan.

Jessica’s phone vibrated. She looked at it. It was a message from Hannah, and it was a link.

Jessica unlocked her phone. But when she clicked the link, she found that it was no longer valid. She

asked Hannah, “What’s it?”

Surprisingly, Hannah didn’t answer her question. “Did Terry go to your house last night?”

Jessica was reluctant to tell Hannah everything that happened last night, so she just casually said, “He

had something to tell me.”

“There’s a trending topic about you guys on Twitter this morning. That link was still there when I sent it

to you, but it’s not working now. I searched on Twitter and I couldn’t find it. It should have been deleted

by someone.

“What did he talk to you about? Terry even came to your house. I don’t think this can be anything

ordinary. Jess, are you secretly in a relationship with Terry?”

Jessica said, “Get away.”

Why could she only secretly fall in love with Terry?
