Justin’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Dwayne. He had a bad hunch. He frowned as he looked at Dwayne and asked, “What now?
Trissy looked at Dwayne with a probing gaze.
“Lucas had just released a statement under the name of the Thomas Group to clarify Miss Hall’s scandal.”
Justin’s face darkened, so Dwayne hedged a bit before he went on, “The clarification admitted that Miss Thomas was the plotter…”
“Bastard! He’s such an idiot!” Justin immediately knocked over the coffee cup in his hand when he heard this, and the loud noise attracted the attention of the restaurant waiter.
Justin took a deep breath and held back his anger. He lowered his voice and said to Dwayne, “Go home, call Lucas and tell him to move his ass back now.”
“I see, Mr. Thomas.” Dwayne sighed in his heart and quickly propped Justin up.
“Mr. Thomas, then I…” Trissy stood up as well. She looked at the documents on the table with a lingering gaze.
“Then, it seems that you don’t need to be troubled now.” Justin snorted.
Justin watched as Dwayne put up the document before he went on, “Miss Cheek, sometimes people need to know when to stop. If you are too greedy, you will get nothing in the end.”
After Justin finished speaking, he turned around and left the restaurant, leaving Trissy trembling in anger.
Lucas was fast this time, and when Jessica was resting at noon, she received Wendy’s report.
The posts related to the scandal this time had been deleted, and the keywords had all been blocked.
In addition, after the Thomas Group released the clarification, the relevant personnel also followed to apologize.
“Miss Hall, I just read the comments on the Internet. It seems that Mr. Thomas did not break his promise this time.” Wendy said to Jessica.
“It’s just a start,” Jessica said, half smiling.
Wendy nodded. The clarification would ripple and cause an aftershock.
As expected, when Jessica got off work, she saw that the share price of the Thomas Group had fallen a lot. Justin would feel terrible about the plummet.
Jessica believed that Lucas must know the consequences of doing so, but he still did it. Jessica hadn’t expected that from Lucas.
“Jessica, did that bastard Lucas lose his mind?”
Jessica was attending a small business dinner. Hannah, who was going with her, drove to the Hall Group to pick her up. As soon as Jessica got into the car, Hannah spoke to her eagerly.
“He actually used the name of Thomas Group to clarify things. I thought he would at most force Olivia to stand out and apologize.”
“I didn’t see this coming, but I’m very satisfied with the effect.” Jessica fastened her seat belt and looked at the street lights outside the window. She was somehow distracted.
“Jess, you won’t forgive him simply because of the clarification, right?” Hannah looked at Jessica’s face and asked carefully.
“Forgive him? Why should I?” Jessica collected her thoughts and smiled faintly, “Isn’t this what he owed me?”
“Good to know.” Hannah let out a sigh of relief as she drove. “I just don’t want you to fall for him again.”
As the two of them chatted, the car soon arrived at its destination.
They were not decked out today, but even so, the two of them attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the venue.
Jessica was wearing a white Chanel limited set, giving off a sense of intellectual elegance, while Hannah was wearing a new spring design from Gucci.
“I’m starving. I’ll go get something to eat. You should find a place to sit first.” Jessica tossed a glance at the desert bar after she wheeled around at Jessica.
Jessica took a glass of red wine from the waiter and sat down.
Then, Jessica saw a young man in a crimson suit walking towards her.
Jessica casually sized him up. This man wore famous brands from top to bottom, but none of them were limited versions. Thus, his family was just an average one.
“Well, well. Isn’t this famous Miss Hall?” The young man stood in front of Jessica and looked down at her with an airy gaze.
Jessica glanced at him. She didn’t feel like socializing with such a frivolous person.
Perhaps Jessica’s indifferent attitude made the man a little embarrassed. The man looked angry.
Surprisingly, he sat down beside Jessica and asked, “Miss Hall, shall I treat you to a drink?”
“Sorry, I don’t drink,” Jessica moved away and said coldly.
