Jessica looked at Justin, who was standing in front of her. She had to admit that Justin was a skillful liar.
Wedding before procedures? What was the difference? In that case, people would all assume that she was married to Lucas.
That was really a good plan. In the end, Justin was trying to trap Jessica.
Justin's words made Jessica, who originally had some sympathy for him, feel very unhappy. She said nonchalantly, "Mr. Thomas, your top priority right now is receiving treatment. As for what you said, I will consider it carefully. Give me some time."
"Miss Hall, it's not that I don't understand you. It's just that I don't have much time left." Justin coughed twice, looking very weak.
"How about this? I'll think about it today and give you an answer tonight. What do you think?" Jessica looked very sincere so that Justin couldn't push her any further.
"Then I'll be waiting for your call." Justin had been waiting in the conference room for a long time. He did feel a bit unwell. So he took the chance to leave the office.
Dwayne hurriedly took a step forward and supported him.
Jessica and Wendy sent the two away. When the two left the Hall Group building, Jessica turned to look at Wendy.
"Go verify Mr. Thomas' physical condition. Be quick, and do it secretly," Jessica said to Wendy.
"Yes, Miss Hall." Wendy nodded and then immediately turned to leave.
Jessica returned to her office but was suddenly not in the mood to work. She felt that she didn't hate Lucas that much when she learned Olivia had been sent away.
However, she was not willing to remarry Lucas, especially when Justin had been playing tricks behind her back.
She hadn't vented her anger yet. And she couldn't face Lucas peacefully.
Wendy did the research quickly. Jessica collected her thoughts when Wendy came back with a document in her hands.
Jessica saw Wendy's look and then forged a guess. As expected, Jessica learned that Justin's illness was fake after she turned a few pages.
Justin didn't even bother to replace his medical records with a real patient's. The report was fabricated.
Jessica had to take Justin's illness into consideration when she planned her revenge. Now that it was fake, Jessica was set free.
Justin had just handed her a brilliant opportunity.
Jessica had to grab it. How could she waste such a chance?
Before getting off work in the evening, Jessica called Justin.
Dwayne immediately handed the phone to Justin.
"Miss Hall, how is it? Have you thought it over?" Justin's tone was filled with anticipation.
Jessica frowned slightly. "Mr. Thomas, I am very sad about your illness. But there is no love between me and Lucas. I loved him before, but he never loved me. I have been tired all these years, so I don't want to be related to Lucas anymore in the future."
Justin was cunning and suspicious. If Jessica immediately agreed, Justin would definitely know that she was playing tricks.
Justin had gone out of his way to make Jessica marry Lucas. He wouldn't stop simply because Jessica "hedged".
In fact, Jessica was right.
Justin got heated when he heard Jessica's words. "Miss Hall, that's not true! Lucas likes you. Why doesn't he like you? If he didn't like you, how could you get that land in North LA? He asked Derek to yield it to you.
"Also, he asked to go to your birthday party last time. Olivia was ignorant and offended you last time. He even locked her up in the Black House. Miss Hall, Lucas is stubborn, but I'm his grandfather. I can tell."
Jessica sighed and said, "I need to consider it."
Justin knew that Jessica wasn't that determined. He was delighted. "Sure! But we do need to deal with the rumors. Please make your decision as soon as possible."
Jessica nodded and said, "Mr. Thomas, it's getting late. I still have a meeting. I gotta go."
"Sure, sure."
