Claiming Her Back

Chapter 183

“I’m here for you.” Lucas immediately frowned. He didn’t like it when Jessica talked to him in such a po

lite manner.

“I’m sorry. I still have something to do today. Excuse me.” Jessica smiled and was about to leave.

“Then I’ll give you a lift.” Lucas raised his hand to check the time on his watch and then pointed to the

car next to him

Jessica raised her eyebrows and said casually, “No need. It’s out of your way.”

“You didn’t even tell me where you were going. How do you know I wasn’t on the way?” Lucas’ low and

charming voice carried a hint of grievance.

Jessica felt a little helpless. Couldn’t Lucas see that she was refusing him?

Jessica said with a smile, “I’ll repeat, there’s no need. Mr. Thomas, aren’t you busy? Don’t you need to

spend time running the Thomas Group?”

Lucas’ eyes darkened. He was just about to say something when Wendy walked out of the company

and came to Jessica.

Wendy glanced at Lucas, then turned her head and hurriedly said to Jessica, “Miss Hall, I just received

a call. We have purchased 10% of the Sandoval Group’s shares.”

Jessica raised her eyebrow. “So, I’ll have to invite Mr. Davison to dinner again?”

“No, Miss Hall,” Wendy whispered to Jessica, “It’s Mr. Thomas who agreed to sell us 10% of his

shares.”

Jessica sighed and Wendy quickly found an excuse to leave.

Lucas gently curled his lips into a smile.

He handed the document in his hand to Jessica.

Only then did Jessica open the equity transfer agreement in her hand. It had Lucas’ signature on it.

She looked up at Lucas, “Why would Mr. Thomas sell the shares of the Sandoval Group to me?”

Lucas frowned slightly. He knew that perhaps Jessica never believed he would treat her well.

“You said yesterday that you wouldn’t let go of the person who set you up.”

Jessica looked down at the signature, a little dazed.

She remembered Olivia and the time when she and Lucas just got a divorce.

Jessica returned to her senses. Her eyes dimmed as she put away the agreement and looked up at Lu

cas. “Thank you, Mr. Thomas. I will ask Wendy to make the payment to the Thomas Group on time.”

“No need. It’s a contract of gift.” Lucas stood next to Jessica and smelled the familiar perfume.

Jessica’s likes and dislikes seldom changed. She even still wore the same perfume as before.

“Why are you giving me a gift? What is your purpose?” The smile on Jessica’s face faded as she

thought of Olivia

She thought Lucas might be trying to talk her into letting Olivia off with the ten percent of shares.

In fact, Jessica wouldn’t do anything to Olivia.

After all, the Thomas Group and the Hall Group were both among the wealthiest and most famous

companies in LA. There might still be a lot of cooperation between them later on,

Jessica wouldn’t hinder the future business development just for personal grudges.

But Lucas acted so generously just to protect Olivia, which upset Jessica a little.

She also didn’t know why, though.

They had divorced each other, and Jessica knew that Lucas cared more about the Thomas Group than

her.

“Don’t think too much about it. You don’t owe me anything.” Lucas looked down into Jessica’s eyes,

finding that he could read a few of Jessica’s emotions through her eyes.

He continued, “If I have to say why… I just hope you can fulfill your intention more smoothly.”

“Mr. Thomas, since you know what I want, aren’t you afraid that I will cause trouble for your sister?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Jessica let out a cold snort.

“I won’t stop you no matter what you want to do to her. I’ve been busy with work all these years, and

Olivia is spoiled. I can’t let her continue like this.” Lucas paused and then said, “I am going to send her

to Europe. There is also a branch office there. She’ll start from being an ordinary employee.”

Jessica raised her head in surprise and looked at Lucas. “Is this your own idea?”

“I have asked Vincent to make preparations. I will arrange for a reliable assistant to check on Olivia in

Europe. Olivia won’t be given any special privileges. If she can’t become the general manager, she will

never come back.”

“I…”

Before Jessica could finish her words, Lucas interrupted her.

“I know you don’t believe me, but it doesn’t matter. You can understand what I think from what I’ll do.”

Lucas turned around and got into the car, leaving the Hall Group.
