Claiming Her Back

Chapter 16

Jessica and her friends also knew Mona Gilbert from school. Mona was about to start a nightclub

*Just say it. What are you up to?” Jessica snorted since she knew Hannah too well:

“No biggie Mona’s place opens up tonight. She wants us to go over to back her up. You know, our

performance at LURE last time was quite popular. Mona hoped that we could perform

at her nightclub tonight as well.” Hannah smiled at Jessica

Hannah was a party person. She hadn‘t had enough of the stage time last time.

“Why didn’t you ask Caesar and Lance? What do you think, gentlemen?” Jessica turned to the two

guys.

“I’m OK with that.” Lance nodded immediately

Caesar also nodded at Jessica with a smile. “Works for me, too.”

Thus, Jessica had to agree.

Mona was indeed Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

bold when running her business. Her nightclub Cloud Top was right across from LURE.

LURE was quite popular in LA.

The annual rent of Mona‘s nightclub was 1 million dollars, and Mona signed a three–year contract.

When Jessica and the others

arrived, Mona was greeting some other friends of hers. Mona saw Jessica and her friends, and

she ran up to them with excitement in her eyes. “Sweeties, I‘ll count on you guys tonight. I really want

my grand opening to go well. It‘s all up to you guys now.”

Mona looked hot tonight. Jessica raised her eyebrows and teased Mona, “Boss, you look so racy!”

Last time, someone posted Jessica and her friends‘ performance on YouTube. The video was viewed

tens of millions of times. Thus, a lot of people came to see their performance tonight.

Only a few minutes after the show began, the auditorium had already gotten quite crowded.

Compared to the liveliness at Cloud Top, LURE seemed a lot quieter tonight.

Hari got bored after sitting in the booth for a long time, so he logged in to YouTube to kill time. Yet

somehow Hari saw the video of Jessica’s performance tonight.

Hari froze for a moment and subconsciously turned to Lucas. “Lucas, is your ex–

wife going to debut in showbiz?”

Jessica, Hannah, and their friends brought a great deal of attention to Mona’s new nightclub through

their performance. They attracted a lot of customers within a short time.

Hari was curious about Mona’s nightclub as well. So he left LURE for Cloud Top. Lucas had to follow

Hari as well.

Jessica drew their attention once the two of them had just entered Cloud Top. She was on the stage.

Jessica wore a white shirt and a pair of denim pants. Her outfit revealed her S–line figure perfectly.

The gull-wing eyeliner and SUQQU’s new eye shadow made Jessica look attractively aloof.

A lot of passionate customers were shaking their bodies at Jessica’s drum beats.

This was the second time Lucas saw Jessica on the stage. And at that moment, Jessica was like a

singer performing at the Super Bowl, impressing the entire audience with her charisma.

Lucas realized that he wanted to learn more about Jessica when seeing this side of her.

But Lucas then recalled that they had already divorced.

“Lucas, do you regret divorcing Jessica?” Hari could not help but ask when he saw that Lucas was lost

in his own thoughts.

“Did you hear yourself?” Lucas found Hari‘s question hilarious.

“The famous Lucas Thomas I know is a decisive guy. He never regrets

any of his decisions.” Hari shrugged, not taking Lucas’

words seriously. Hari then added, “Besides, Trissy is your type.”

“Who told you that? Trissy is my brother Max‘s wife,” Lucas said with a frown.

“That‘s how people think.” Hari was shocked to hear what Lucas said. “What else would you divorce Je

ssica?”

“It was her who proposed the divorce!”

For some reason, Lucas felt agitated when they talked about his divorce. He never believed that

Jessica divorced him because she found him charmless.

Shortly, Hari‘s gaze fell on the stage again. He then saw someone familiar.

“Lucas, look! Isn‘t that Terry?”

Lucas looked in the direction that Hari was pointing. A guy close to the stage in the audience was

holding beautiful roses in his hands. It was indeed Terry Davison.

Lucas and Terry didn‘t get along and they were business rivals. Thus, Lucas had zero interest in Terry’s

private life.

Just as Lucas was about to leave, he heard the crowd start screaming.

Lucas turned around with a frown, only to see Terry handing the roses to Jessica. Lucas found the

bouquet annoyingly red.

“Thank you for your bouquet.” Jessica didn’t see this coming, yet she still thanked Terry for the roses.

“You are welcome. It’s an honor for both me and the roses.” Terry bowed like a British gentleman

before he walked down the stage.

The audience cheered for what Terry said and did.

Unlike Lucas, who was quite reserved, Terry was a well-known playboy in the upper-class society.

Jessica didn’t know what Terry was up to.

“Miss Hall, may I have the honor to have dinner with you?”

The performance was over. Jessica and the others had just stepped down from the stage when Terry

appeared again. He was humble and polite. His manners were rather pleasant.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve already had dinner.” Jessica glanced at Terry indifferently.

“Should I send you home then?” Terry went on asking. He didn’t mind being turned down.

Jessica was just about to refuse when Hannah suddenly nudged her. Thus, Jessica saw Lucas and

Hari sitting not far away.

Jessica knew what Hannah was suggesting, yet she still said, “Thanks, but no thanks. I‘ll head back in

my own car.”

With that, Jessica pulled Hannah over toward Mona. She said goodbye and then left Cloud Top.

When Jessica was about to go to her car, Hari and Lucas happened to walk out.

Jessica nodded at Hari and said, “Good evening.”

With that, Jessica left.

“Lucas, Jessica didn’t even look at you just now. I wonder how you feel about that.” Hari joked as he

looked at Lucas.

Lucas snorted, obviously in a bad mood.

“Mr. Thomas, what a coincidence to meet you here.” Terry happened to

walk out of the nightclub as well. “I have a question for you.”

“Mr. Davison, don‘t you know that you have to pay Lucas a lot for a business question? Not everyone

can ask him questions,” Hari said disdainfully.

“You are always far-sighted and smart when it comes to business. My question is, Mr. Thomas, how

come you missed and divorced Jessica? After all, she is such a perfect woman.” Terry ignored Hari‘s

challenge and turned to Lucas with a smile.
