Jessica turned to leave. Suddenly, she heard a bang from behind.
The loud noise attracted people's attention even from the venue. Some noticed Terry and Lucas and were about to come over to have a look.
Jessica didn't want the two to make a fuss. Thus, she had to return and keep an eye on the two men. They were beating each other hard.
Jessica said angrily, "It's my birthday today. Is this how you guys celebrate my birthday? By blowing it?"
Terry and Lucas both stopped.
Those who had noticed the noise came over first. They had already seen Lucas and Terry fighting. Later, more people came over.
Jessica didn't feel like interfering, but she didn't want to embarrass Morgan. After all, a lot of big shots and celebrities in the circle showed up tonight.
Thus, Jessica asked Hannah to split the two. Jessica called the waiters to help dismiss the guests.
Suddenly, a guest cried out. Jessica looked over and saw Lucas leaning at the flower bed, covering his belly with his hand.
The Hall family was the host. Thus, Jessica couldn't just leave Lucas there. She had to take care of her guests.
Now that Lucas seemed to be feeling unwell, it was impossible for her to just stand by.
Jessica hedged a bit before she went over. "Lucas, how are you feeling now?"
Lucas felt that his stomach was throbbing. He used to have a stomach problem. It attacked again after he drank too much and ate too little tonight.
Terry also punched Lucas' belly a few times. No one had noticed that, though.
Yet Lucas still held his pain and said, "I'm fine."
Terry looked at Lucas with a grim face.
Jessica helped Lucas up. Morgan also arrived. His face turned gloomy when he caught sight of the scene.
Morgan glanced at Lucas and Terry. Though he only snorted and said nothing, everyone could tell that he was extremely furious deep down.
Morgan's men dismissed the crowd. Jessica turned around and walked over to Lucas. She then slapped him. "Do you know what this is for?"
Lucas glanced at Jessica with his head bent. Jessica was stunning. Lucas had never seen her like this.
Lucas wanted to tell Jessica that. But before he could, Terry, the buzzkill, had said it first.
"I do."
Lucas responded in a low voice. He looked down at Jessica, waiting for her to continue.
However, Jessica did not say anything else. She just gave him a cold glance and then turned to leave.
"I'm sorry," Lucas stopped Jessica by pulling her arm and added, "Happy birthday."
Jessica shook off his hand and looked at Lucas coldly. "If you gave me less trouble, I could have been happier."
The news that Terry and Lucas had fought over Jessica spread in just a few minutes.
It was hard to block the news. After all, the two fought on such a grand occasion.
Hannah glanced at Jessica. She tried to say something, but in the end, she didn't.
Hannah was confused about how all that happened within ten minutes. Terry said that he wanted to say something to Jessica, but what was Lucas' part in the whole thing? How did the two guys end up fighting each other?
It was super awkward.
Hannah could understand how upset Jessica felt at the moment. After all, she rarely hold a birthday party as big as this one.
Jessica walked out of the venue and found Terry, who was taken there to calm down. "Mr. Davison, which hotel are you staying in tonight? Let me have the driver send you back."
"Plaza Athenee," Terry said.
"To Plaza Athenee," Jessica then told the driver.
The driver nodded and got into the car.
Terry looked at Jessica with a frown. "Grace is not my girlfriend. She's just a friend of my cousin."
"I see. I trust you." Jessica nodded. She didn't think Terry would lie about that.
"I'm sorry about what happened tonight," Terry said.
Jessica snorted and said, "Are you?"
Terry smiled. "Well, I do think that Mr. Thomas should be the one to blame."
Jessica didn't want to go on with the subject. She said, "It's late now. Just get into the car, Mr. Davison."
