Remarriage: His Billionaire Ex-wife

Chapter 1 　　"Trissy, please don't send any messages to Lucas late at night. He's my husband." 　　Trissy was Lucas' first love, but she had married Lucas' elder brother, Max. Since Max died, Trissy had been pestering Lucas all the time. 　　That troubled Jessica a lot, so she had to talk to Trissy in person. 　　"Only legally. He is in love with ME. But you don't have to worry. I will make him leave you." Trissy sneered, not taking what Jessica said seriously. 　　Today was the dinner for the announcement of the new CEO of the Thomas Group, the most famous enterprise in LA, to take over the affairs of the group. 　　Justin Thomas, the original CEO, Lucas' grandfather, announced that the new CEO is Lucas in front of the entire upper—class circle in LA. 　　Suddenly, the banquet was interrupted by some servants out in the garden. 　　"Help! Help! Jessica and Trissy fell down the stairs!" 　　People hurried to the garden. Before everyone else could react, Lucas had already picked up Trissy, who was unconscious on the floor. 　　However, Lucas ignored his wife, Jessica, who was lying on the cold ground. Instead, Lucas carried Trissy and left without looking back. 　　People finally came to their senses too and followed Lucas to the villa. 　　After a long time, Jessica gradually came to her senses, she realized that she was lying on the cold ground. People had all left. Nobody cared about her life at all. 　　Ever since married Lucas, Jessica had gotten used to being ignored by the Thomas family. 　　Holding her sore arm, Jessica prepared to go back to her room to shower and check for cuts, but she had only reached the stairs when Lucas called out to her. 　　"You are so vicious! How could you push Trissy downstairs? Don't you know she's ill?" Lucas looked at Jessica coldly. Jessica's whole body was full of dust. 　　"How is Trissy? Lucas, listen to me. I didn't push her." Jessica explained eagerly. 　　"Before she fainted, she said it was you that pushed her, and then she dragged you, that's why you both fell down the stairs together. I don't believe Trissy would lie." Lucas said angrily. 　　"I didn't do that. Why don't you believe me?" With her eyes turning red, Jessica looked at Lucas sadly. 　　"Isn't it just because Trissy was about to fall at the beginning of the party and I helped her, and you were jealous and looking for her to settle the score? Well I don't want to hear your sophistry. Keep your made—up story to Grandpa." Lucas ignored the despair in Jessica's eyes. He stood up and pulled Jessica's arm, intending to take her to the meeting room. 　　As the most beloved grandson of Justin Thomas as well as the future heir of the Thomas Group, Lucas had always been impartial. Besides, Lucas hated Jessica, his wife, a lot. 　　"I can walk by myself." Jessica got rid of Lucas' hand with her painful arm. 　　"Then follow up." Lucas didn't give Jessica a second look. He turned around and walked quickly to the meeting room. 　　Looking at Lucas' tall figure from the back, Jessica felt she was overwhelmed by sorrow. She used to be so obsessed with Lucas, yet Lucas hated her so much. 　　The announcement procedure of the new CEO was interrupted. Justin was furious. 　　Thus, when Justin saw Jessica walk in, he directly threw his mug over. The hot coffee splashed all over Jessica. Jessica couldn't help but cry out in pain. 　　Justin yelled at Jessica, "You son of a bitch." 　　Jessica asked calmly, "I don't know what I've done wrong." 　　Justin looked at Lucas angrily and said, "Lucas, are you waiting for me to explain to your wife?" 　　"If you can't calm Grandpa down today, I'll divorce you." Lucas kicked Jessica in the knee, causing her already painful legs to sit limply on the ground because they couldn't take the force. 　　"I am your wife! How can you do this to me?" Although Jessica knew that Lucas did not love her, she could not bear it when her husband, to whom she had been married for three years, was so merciless to her. 　　Jessica felt a sharp pain in her knees, even though it was far less than the pain in her heart. 　　"Jessica, if you confess to Trissy and are willing to accept punishment, I may still allow you to stay in this house," Justin said to Jessica. 　　"I already said that I didn't push Trissy, so I won't apologize." 　　Before Jessica could finish, Justin had already thrown another mug over. 　　The mug shattered on the ground, and the shards hit Jessica, but she did not move. 　　"Lucas, I hope you can persuade your wife. For God's sake, Trissy is still in a coma in the hospital. What a poor child!" Justin stood up and left the meeting room.
