Claiming Her Back

Chapter 4

Jessica suddenly cried, making Hannah, who was beside her, feel sad. They had been friends since

they were little.

For so many years, Jessica had always been a smart and noble young princess. Hannah had never © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

seen Jessica being ill–treated like now.

It was all Lucas Thomas’ fault!

A few minutes later, Jessica gradually calmed down. She took the tissue and wiped her tears. She took

out a mirror to fix her makeup. Jessica quickly adjusted her mood and turned to

look at Hannah. She asked, “Hannah, I heard that your cousin knows reporters from the Los Angeles

Times? Is he interested in an exclusive report?”

“No problem, I will call my cousin right now.” Hannah froze for a moment and then figured out what

Jessica planned to do. Hannah then took out her phone.

Jessica nodded and looked out through the window.

After three years, Jessica finally accepted

the fact that she could not replace Trissy in Lucas‘ heart. She lost.

However, Jessica would not let the Thomas family get away with the ill–treatment she had received in

the past three years.

“Do you want to hang out tonight?” After Hannah hung up the phone, she turned to look at Jessica and

asked.

“Nope. Tomorrow is a big day.” Jessica smiled.

Jessica went to bed before ten in the

evening, yet Hannah didn‘t stop quarreling with the strangers who blamed Jessica on

Twitter. Thus, Hannah had trouble getting up the next morning.

When Hannah rubbed her eyes as she walked out of the door, Jessica was already ready to go.

Today, Jessica had a simple and sexy outfit. She wore a loose dark brown

sweater, with her long blonde hair down on her shoulders, and a pair of dark blue denim pants. The bla

ck high heels she wore revealed her slender ankles.

Hannah nodded in satisfaction and said, “Go, say goodbye to the past and embrace the future.”

Jessica opened the door with a smile and walked out of the room.

When Jessica arrived at the entrance of the court, Lucas had not

arrived yet. Yesterday, she had already asked the lawyer to submit the divorce

application to the court. Thus, she only needs to go through the process today.

Five minutes later, Jessica saw Lucas walking in from outside the gate.

Lucas, as usual, was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his angular face expressionless.

When Lucas noticed Jessica’s gaze, he tilted his head slightly and looked coldly at her. In the past,

Jessica would always

immediately get close to him, but this time, she just stood there still, not intending to move at all.

Lucas had to walk toward her.

“Good morning, the judge is already waiting for us.” Jessica nodded at Lucas.

“Have you thought it through?” Lucas’ face darkened.

“I have.” Jessica answered, word by word.

Jessica didn‘t think it through when she decided to marry him. Now that three years had passed,

Jessica had finally sobered up. She couldn‘t think it through more.

Lucas looked gloomy. He frowned and said, “Very well. I hope you won’t regret it in the future.”

After the divorce, Jessica would no longer be a member of the Thomas family, and she could not live a

luxurious life

anymore. Lucas thought that Jessica would definitely regret it when life became hard for her.

The two did not speak again and walked into the court together.

When they came out again, the two were no

longer husband and wife. They were like strangers. After all, they could not even be considered friends.

Lucas looked at Jessica

and said, “Even though we are divorced, Trissy lost her child because of you. You should apologize to

her.”

A cold wind

blew by, and Jessica felt that the wind was not as cold as her heart. Jessica found herself a fool that sh

e once thought Lucas could stand on her side.

Jessica tucked

her hair behind her ear and looked at Lucas. “You‘re right, so I‘ve prepared a gift for Trissy. I think she

will enjoy it.”

With that, Jessica took one last look at Lucas and left.

Lucas looked at Jessica‘s tall and graceful figure from the back. He found that he had never sized Jessi

ca up properly in all these years. Somehow, the thought troubled Lucas.

Lucas never thought about divorcing Jessica, though he was not very willing to marry her.

Now that they were really

divorced, Lucas felt a bit sad as if he had lost something. But he quickly adjusted his mood. After all, Je

ssica was just a woman he was not in love with.
