The Thomas family was one of the best among rich families in LA, but it was the first time they had seen so much gold.
The box of gold was a bit dazzling under the light. They were all stunned.
Justin reacted and was slightly stunned. "Mr. Hall, what do you want to do?"
Morgan looked up at Justin and said, "Mr. Thomas, the Hall family has never liked to owe others a debt. Jess married into your family for three years. I think this box of gold is enough to cover her expenses there."
He paused for a moment. "We, the Hall family, don't owe you anything until this moment. Now it's time to count how many evil deeds you did to us?"
Morgan had been in the business world for many years and had long since developed the ability to look dignified without being furious. He kept a straight face while speaking, but anyone present could hear the anger in his words.
Justin's face turned cold when he heard Morgan's words. "Mr. Hall, I don't quite understand what you mean."
That was the answer Morgan was expecting. "Mr. Thomas, it doesn't matter if you understand or not. I will explain the whole story to you!"
"In the three years of their marriage, Miss Thomas was obstructive and Lucas was indifferent. This is the first thing I want to state today. Since Jessica and Lucas divorced, the two of them should have had nothing to do with each other, but Miss Thomas teamed up with others to plot against Jessica. She asked someone to take Jessica away overnight and drugged her. She hired someone to assault Jessica sexually. This was the second thing. Third, Miss Thomas spread the rumor about my relationship with Jessica with some misunderstanding photos of us."
Morgan said all these out at one go. After that, he looked straight into Justin's eyes and said, "Mr. Thomas, I hope you can give us an explanation! No matter how awful our Hall family is, we won't be bullied by you for no reason."
May snorted, "Even people of humble origin know to treat their daughter-in-law well. We took efforts to raise Jessica for more than twenty years and married her into your family. How did you treat her in those three years?
"Now that you looked down upon her, why did you accept her as your daughter-in-law? My daughter was bullied in your family. It's one thing. But how could a woman who had an affair with his husband's brother dare to bully my daughter?
"Why did you punish her? Why did you make things difficult for her time and again? Today, if you do not give us a satisfactory explanation, we will expose your dirty deeds to the public!"
Jessica's parents reprimanded the Thomas family one by one, and Justin's face turned ashen.
Today, Jessica and her parents were obviously here to settle old scores with the Thomas family, who was the one in the wrong.
If Jessica was of humble origin, the Thomas family would just send them away with some money.
But, Jessica was Morgan's only daughter. For the first time, Justin Thomas was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Facing the couple's accusation, Justin Thomas forced a statement after a while. "Mr. Hall, and Mrs. Hall, it's quite common for young people to have some misunderstandings. Their marriage was unpleasant, and Jessica was angry. I can understand it. But if you say that my son mistreated Jessica, I can't agree with that!
"Jessica, I don't want to pursue past grudges, but how can you talk nonsense to your parents because you bear a grudge against us?"
Jessica laughed when she heard his words. She looked up at Lucas, who was watching on coldly, and snorted, "Lucas, please tell your family why don't we have children during these three years?"
Olivia laughed disdainfully. "Don't you know why you don't have a child?"
"We had never slept together. How could I get pregnant on my own?"
Jessica did not want to talk about it. It was already a thing of the past, but what Justin Thomas said was too much.
Jessica continued, "Is that why you turned a blind eye when Trissy made things difficult for me? You said that I talked nonsense with my parents. Mr. Thomas, you're an elder. I respect you. But how could you talk such nonsense?"
"Jessica!"
Lucas, who had been silent all the time, suddenly shouted coldly.
