Claiming Her Back

Chapter 8

Jessica slapped Olivia, but Lucas did not take revenge on Jessica for hig sister. So as soon an Olivia

returned to the Thomas villa, she ran to Justin and complained,

When Justin heard that Jessica had come back to LA, he was filled with fury again

Justin immediately called Lucas and asked him to bring Jessica over the next day so that she could

kneel and apologize

“Grandpa, we are divorced.” Lucas said calmly

“So what? She released the

video. If we call the police, she will be thrown into prison/” Justin coughed as he spoke

“The police won’t arrest her, because

what she posted was exactly what had happened” Lucas was a little impatient

Justin froze for a moment. When Justin came to his senses, Lucas had already hung up

Lucas threw his phone on the sofa and lit a cigar.

Three months after Jessica

vanished, she came back as a formidable woman rather than Lucas‘ obedient wife she used to be

Just as Lucas took a puff of his cigar, his phone rang again. Feeling annoyed, he picked it up,

It was his

friend, Hari. The music on the other end of the line was deafening. Lucas frowned and almost wanted t

o hang up

“We are at LURE. You coming?” Hari sounded very excited.

“No.”

“Really? Lucas, but Jessica is here too. Oh, and her new lover, quite a hot guy.” Hari said.

Jessica was

dragged to LURE by Hannah, because Hannah, the nightclub queen, planned to celebrate her birthday

there

As soon as Jessica sat

down, Hannah brought over a man. As they approached, Jessica recognized the man. It was the guy

she and Hannah knew from school, Caesar Kim.

It had been a few years since Jessica last saw Caesar. He looked more handsome,

“When did you come back?” Jessica looked at the tall man and raised her eyebrows.

“Yesterday.” Caesar sat down next to Jessica. He took two drinks and handed one to her.

While they were recalling their old days in school, the staff of LURE moved the musical instruments an

d equipment to the stage. Hannah nudged Jessica and said

excitedly. “Let‘s go and have some fun! Don‘t tell me you forgot how to beat the drums!”

“How could that be!” Jessica took the drum sticks and

spun them around a few times before following Caesar and Hannah onto the stage.

Lucas had already heard the deafening noise inside before he even entered LURE.

He likes quiet places. To him, music like this was just noise,

Lucas located Hari, who was watching the performance, and asked with a frown, “Where’s Jessica?”

Hari pointed at the stage and said, “There. The one playing the drums. Lucas, did you really divorce

Jessica?”

“Sure did.” Lucas rolled his eyes at Hari.

“Then I declare now that Jessica is my new idol!”

Lucas’ gaze fell on Jessica, who was

playing the drums. Under the spotlight, Lucas could tell that Jessica was no longer the dull girl she

used to be.

Lucas, who was always cool and aloof, was dumbfounded. He had never seen Jessica like that before

Jessica’s hands moved fast, and all the people in the nightclub were fascinated.

The performance was over. Jessica was talking to her friends when Hari suddenly appeared, “Jessica,

you are a great drummer!”

Seeing Hari, Jessica‘s smile became fainter. “Hari, it‘s been a long time.”

“Indeed. It is.” Hari was immersed in Jessica‘s performance, completely forgetting how much he had

looked down on her

Hari was lost in his own world. He went on, “You know what? Lucas is here, too. He is right over…” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

As Hari spoke, he turned around to look for Lucas, only to see Lucas walking out of the door. Lucas

was, after all, Hari‘s childhood buddy. Hari hesitate a bit but then decided to follow Lucas.

However, before leaving, he said to Jessica, Jessica, I‘m into rock‘n‘roll, too. Perhaps we may talk

about it someday.”

Hannah rolled her eyes and said, “We don‘t live in the same world. We can‘t talk.”

That sounded

familiar, and Hari quickly recalled that this was what the young ladies said when they mocked

Jessica in their gatherings before.

Although Hari didn‘t say anything back then, he didn‘t help Jessica, either. Thus, Hari said somewhat

embarrassedly, “I’m heading out.”

Before leaving, Hari couldn‘t help but look back. Jessica was still chatting with her friends. The hottest

guy among them, Caesar or something like that, had just changed a drink for Jessica

That was sweet.

Hari tore his eyes away from Jessica and quickly caught up with Lucas.
