Remarriage：His Billionaire Ex-wife — Free Preview

"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.

"Jessica, get up now. The shards are all over you." After Justin left, Rebecca, Lucas' mother, hurried over, trying to help Jessica up.

"Mom, wait." Lucas reached out to stop Rebecca. He then looked down at Jessica and asked, "Did you hear what Grandpa just said? Do you know what you have done wrong now?"

"Lucas, I think I've made it very clear. I didn't push Trissy. I did nothing wrong."

Although Jessica was trembling with cold, she looked at Lucas firmly. She wouldn't give in.

"Then from today you don't live in Thomas house, people like you don't deserve to be in the same house as us!" Lucas nodded at the butler, beckoning him to come over and take Jessica away.

Rebecca shook her head in disagreement and said to Lucas, "Jessica is your wife. How can you treat her like that?"

"Such a vicious woman can't be my wife," Lucas replied coldly.

Jessica suddenly felt a shooting pain in her heart. Originally, she planned to show Lucas the evidence so that Lucas would know he had blamed her wrongly. But now, she decided not to bother.

With that, Lucas left without looking back.

As Lucas walked away, Jessica felt that her feelings for Lucas were perishing as well.

The butler glanced at Rebecca. Lucas was second only to Justin in the Thomas family, so the butler did not dare to disobey Lucas. The butler bowed slightly to Jessica, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "Jessica, please do not make things difficult for me."

"Go tell Lucas that I'm not going anywhere. I'm going back to my room to take a shower and change my clothes." Jessica said as she stood up. She shook off the shards on her pants and calmly walked upstairs, leaving Rebecca and the butler in surprise.

When Jessica got back to her room, she checked her wounds first, and luckily she only scraped a little skin on her arms and legs.

She gave herself medicine and changed into clean clothes, then she packed her belongings one by one into her suitcase.

After all this was done, Jessica sat at the dressing table to comb her hair, when Lucas suddenly stormed in.

Before Jessica could say anything, Lucas pulled her wrist, almost making her fall from her chair.

"Lucas, are you out of your mind?"

"I'm not, but you are. You hurt Trissy, and you don't think you've done anything wrong." With indifference in his eyes, Lucas said fiercely, "Jessica, the first thing Trissy did when she woke up was ask us not to blame you, saying that it was her own actions that made you misunderstand, and you continue to feel no guilt about hurting her!"

"That's enough!" Jessica felt that Lucas almost broke her wrist. She struggled and shouted, "She rolled down the stairs by herself, I didn't touch her at all!"

Lucas froze at her words, and Jessica took this chance to get rid of Lucas' grip.

Jessica stumbled to her feet, looked at the guy she used to love, and said calmly, "I know you don't believe me, so let's get a divorce, Lucas."

Lucas thought that his anger would make Jessica yield. However, not only did Jessica not confess, but she even asked for a divorce.

With that, Jessica opened the door and left. She moved slowly because she felt sore all over her body.

But even so, she still did not look back at Lucas.

"Jessica! Where are you going?" Lucas' sister, Olivia saw Jessica heading out with her suitcase and she asked loudly, "You're not stealing from the house and trying to go out and sell it, are you?"

"Olivia, what are you talking about?" Rebecca frowned and nudged Olivia.

"I don't care even 1 bulk of Thomas'." Jessica retorted in a rare moment, and Olivia immediately got angry and tried to argue with her, but Jessica had already turned around and left.

Jessica took her suitcase and left the Thomas villa. Standing outside the gate, Jessica called her friend Hannah.

Shortly, Hannah drove over.

"Why are you standing here alone? Did Lucas drive you out? That bastard!" Hannah asked as she quickly got out of the car and ran to Jessica.

"I decided to leave. Hannah, I want a divorce." Looking at Hannah, Jessica said.

"Are you sure?" Gazing at Jessica, Hannah tried to figure out how determined Jessica was. As Jessica's friend, Hannah knew how much Jessica loved Lucas.

Jessica nodded hard, and Hannah breathed a sigh of relief. "Darling, finally! Lucas is not worthy of you at all. Let's get out of here. Don't be sad. Let's find a bar and have some fun so that you can get over that dickhead."

When Jessica woke up, it was already the next morning. She had a French feast with Hannah yesterday evening, and then had some drinks and danced the whole night. They got home early in the morning.

Jessica felt as if she had been crushed by a car after a hangover. She felt weak and sore.

Hanna walked into Jessica's room with a glass of milk and handed it to her.

"The news on the Internet spreads fast."

"Really? Where is my phone?" Jessica took a sip of milk and took over her phone, handed over by Hannah. Jessica logged in to Twitter and started swiping.

The top of the trending topics was about Jessica pushing Trissy downstairs at Justin's annoucement banquet. Jessica swiped her phone and read the comments casually. Almost all were scolding Jessica for being vicious. And some people exposed Jessica's ordinary background, saying Jessica was not worthy of a rich person like Lucas. Some even assumed that Jessica might have played some tricks to marry into such a wealthy family.

The public was particularly interested in the scandal of the rich families while Trissy happened to enjoy exposing her life to the public. This made the Thomas family almost become a second Kardashian.

"Jessica, don't be sad because of these harsh comments." Hannah comforted Jessica.

"Sad?" Jessica smiled. She then took out a document from her bag and handed it to Hannah, "Take a look."

Hannah opened the folder in confusion and realized it was a divorce agreement. She looked at Jessica in surprise and quickly browsed through the contents of the document. "Sweetie, why did you give up on the alimony? Lucas should pay it!"

"I don't care about the money. Come on, get the car key and we'll go to Lucas' office later." Jessica finished the milk in one gulp and walked into the bathroom with her cosmetic bag.

Three years had passed and Jessica didn't want to wait for Lucas anymore.

An hour later, Jessica walked directly into the Thomas Group's office building in Los Angeles with the divorce agreement. Lucas, who was sitting in his office, was also informed of Jessica's arrival by his secretary.

Jessica walked directly to Lucas' office in her high heels. She knocked on the door and pushed it open before the door was answered. She casually threw the document on Lucas' desk and said, "Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, we'll go through the divorce procedures. I hope you will be there on time," without the gentle tone all along.

With that, Jessica turned around and left without hesitation.

Sitting at his desk, Lucas saw Jessica off. His eyes gradually darkened. He reached out and took the divorce document. Jessica had already signed it.

The regulations on it were very clear that Jessica had given up on any property of Lucas, including the alimony.

Lucas couldn't help but sneer. That woman wanted nothing?

How could Jessica be so assertive?

Or perhaps Jessica was just pretending, trying to make Lucas feel that she didn't give a damn about his money?

Lucas decided to see if Jessica was really going to divorce him the next day or if she was just playing some tricks.

Jessica left the office building in a great mood. She originally thought that she would be sad when the two of them had to part ways, but she was surprisingly calm.

Perhaps Jessica had been disappointed too many times. Now that she had decided to part with Lucas, she felt more than relieved.

Jessica walked to the car and knocked on the window. Hannah was answering the phone, and when Hannah saw that it was Jessica, she hurriedly opened the door.

"Who is that?" Jessica got in the car and fastened her seat belt, then she raised an eyebrow at Hannah.

"Caesar and Lance, I'll tell them the good news, you're free now, and we can get together more often from now on."

"That's for sure." Jessica smiled.

At this time, Jessica's phone also rang, she glanced at the phone screen, it was an unfamiliar call.

Jessica picked it up with some confusion.

"Hello, Miss Hall, I am Mr. Hall's assistant Wendy. I will be your assistant from today onwards." A gentle woman's voice came from the other side of the phone.

Jessica froze for a few seconds before saying to the phone, "Did Daddy ask to call me?"

"Yes, Mr. Hall said that you are welcome home anytime." When Jessica heard Wendy's words, her eyes instantly moistened.

Three years ago, Jessica was determined to marry Lucas. Her parents and friends were all against it, but Jessica insisted on it. She believed that if she treated Lucas sincerely, she would be treated the same way in return.

Yet in the end, the past three years only proved how wrong Jessica is.

It turned out that Lucas married her not because he loved her, or he admired her, but because Jessica was Lucas' second choice when Trissy was not an option.

Thinking of that, Jessica's tears finally flowed down.

Jessica suddenly cried, making Hannah, who was beside her, feel sad. They had been friends since they were little.

For so many years, Jessica had always been a smart and noble young princess. Hannah had never seen Jessica being ill—treated like now.

It was all Lucas Thomas' fault!

A few minutes later, Jessica gradually calmed down. She took the tissue and wiped her tears. She took out a mirror to fix her makeup. Jessica quickly adjusted her mood and turned to look at Hannah. She asked, "Hannah, I heard that your cousin knows reporters from the Los Angeles Times? Is he interested in an exclusive report?"

"No problem, I will call my cousin Eden right now." Hannah froze for a moment and then figured out what Jessica planned to do. Hannah then took out her phone.

Jessica nodded and looked out through the window.

After three years, Jessica finally accepted the fact that she could not replace Trissy in Lucas' heart. She lost.

However, Jessica would not let the Thomas family get away with the ill—treatment she had received in the past three years.

"Do you want to hang out tonight?" After Hannah hung up the phone, she turned to look at Jessica and asked.

"Nope. Tomorrow is a big day." Jessica smiled.

Jessica went to bed before ten in the evening, yet Hannah didn't stop quarreling with the strangers who blamed Jessica on Twitter. Thus, Hannah had trouble getting up the next morning.

When Hannah rubbed her eyes as she walked out of the door, Jessica was already ready to go.

Today, Jessica had a simple and sexy outfit. She wore a loose dark brown sweater, with her long blonde hair down on her shoulders, and a pair of dark blue denim pants. The black high heels she wore revealed her slender ankles.

Hannah nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go, say goodbye to the past and embrace the future."

Jessica opened the door with a smile and walked out of the room.

When Jessica arrived at the entrance of the court, Lucas had not arrived yet. Yesterday, she had already asked the lawyer to submit the divorce application to the court. Thus, she only needs to go through the process today.

Five minutes later, Jessica saw Lucas walking in from outside the gate.

Lucas, as usual, was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his angular face expressionless.

When Lucas noticed Jessica's gaze, he tilted his head slightly and looked coldly at her. In the past, Jessica would always immediately get close to him, but this time, she just stood there still, not intending to move at all.

Lucas had to walk toward her.

"Good morning Mr. Thomas, the judge is already waiting for us." Jessica nodded moodily toward Lucas.

"Have you thought it through?" Lucas' face darkened, he thought Jessica was feigning relief.

"I have." Jessica answered, word by word.

Lucas looked gloomy. He frowned and said, "Very well. I hope you won't regret it in the future."

After the divorce, Jessica would no longer be a member of the Thomas family, and she could not live a luxurious life anymore. Lucas thought that Jessica would definitely regret it when life became hard for her.

The two did not speak again and walked into the court together.

When they came out again, the two were no longer husband and wife. They were like strangers. After all, they could not even be considered friends.

Lucas looked at Jessica and said, "Even though we are divorced, Trissy was hurt because of you, I think you should at least go to the hospital and take care of her until she recovers."

A cold wind blew by, and Jessica felt that the wind was not as cold as her heart. Jessica found herself a fool that she once thought Lucas could stand on her side.

Jessica tucked her hair behind her ear and looked at Lucas. "What? Can't the Thomas family even afford an escort anymore? If that's the case, I'll pass on the divorce gift I prepared for you to Trissy, and I hope she receives it for a speedy recovery."

With that, Jessica took one last look at Lucas and left.

Lucas looked at Jessica's tall and graceful figure from the back. He found that he had never sized Jessica up properly in all these years. Somehow, the thought troubled Lucas.

Lucas never thought about divorcing Jessica, though he was not very willing to marry her.

Now that they were really divorced, Lucas felt a bit sad as if he had lost something. But he quickly adjusted his mood. After all, Jessica was just a woman he was not in love with.

When Jessica returned to Hannah's place, Hannah had already cleaned up the house. Hannah was putting the fried steak onto a plate, and the red wine was on the table as well.

"Welcome back!" Hannah looked at Jessica excitedly. "Let's have a lavish meal today and hang out tonight."

Jessica sat down in front of the table and smiled at Hannah. "No, I'm leaving LA tonight."

Three years ago, for the sake of Lucas, Jessica had left New York, where her parents lived.

Now that Lucas and Jessica were done, she didn't want to stay in LA anymore.

However, before leaving, she had to send the divorce gift she had prepared, so she said to Hannah, "You can get someone to send out the audios I sent you."

Hannah said excitedly, "No problem, I've been waiting for you to say that. Wait for me, I'll make a call now. Let's go back to New York together tonight!"

"Aren't you having fun here with Mona?" Jessica asked, surprised to hear her say that.

"I haven't been back to New York in years, either, and my parents miss me." Hannah waved her hand.

Jessica knew that a girl like Hannah, who was brought up in a rich family, didn't need to worry about money at all. The reason why Hannah opened a studio in LA is to be here with Jessica. Jessica was touched by what Hannah had done for her.

At eight in the evening, Jessica and Hannah arrived at the airport and boarded a plane to New York.

At the same time, a well—known reporter from the Los Angeles Times released a video on YouTube. The video showed how Jessica and Trissy falling downstairs at Thomas' family banquet.

In the video, Jessica didn't even touch Trissy at all. It was Trissy with a smug smile on her face who walked up the stairs herself, and she dragged Jessica down too before she fell. Their conversation could be heard clearly as well.

"Trissy, please don't send any messages to Lucas late at night. He's my husband."

"Only legally. He is in love with ME. But you don't have to worry. I will make him leave you.

"As long as I tell Lucas that you pushed me, the Thomas family will believe me. Your explanation will be useless. Do you know why? Don't you know who you are? Do you think a ordinary person is qualified to be a member of the Thomas family?"

As soon as the video and audio were released, the entire social network was boiling. The scandal in the Thomas family was still among the hottest topics, yet a reversal then came. People were all shocked.

Lucas's assistant hurried to report to Lucas, who was in a meeting with senior leaders.

The managers sitting below could clearly feel Lucas's distraction. They dared not make a sound, afraid that any misstep might anger Lucas. Their anxiety persisted until Lucas's assistant knocked on the door and whispered something in Lucas's ear.

"Why can't it wait until after the meeting?" Lucas's voice came out cold.

"It's... it's about your wife," the assistant nervously said.

Lucas heard this and signaled for the meeting to pause.

"What is it? Is she coming back to beg me? Does she realize where she went wrong?"

The assistant became even more nervous, realizing that the boss had misunderstood.

He hesitantly handed his phone to Lucas, who casually opened the video. However, as he watched, his expression darkened.

After watching the video, Lucas remained silent at his table with a grim face.

"Where is Jessica?" he finally asked.

"Boss, I'm sorry, but we can't find your wife."

"How is it possible not to find her? Where could a woman from the countryside possibly go?"

"Go and find her! Search every corner until you find her!" Lucas exploded in anger. He was furious with Jessica.

She had evidence, yet she chose not to tell him!

She would rather divorce him with misunderstandings unresolved than explain and reconcile with him.

Well done, Jessica.

Then, Lucas' secretary told him that Jessica emptied her Twitter, leaving only one tweet, saying "Happy divorce to you!"

Jessica announced their divorce in such a way, especially after the truth comes out. How ironic! It made the Thomas family ridiculous.

The atmosphere in the office was so depressing that people even found breathing hard. Lucas, who was sitting at the desk, wore a grim face.

"Remove it now!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Thomas. I've already contacted the public relations company. It can't be removed." The secretary felt nervous.

Well done, Jessica!

With a stern face, Lucas reached for his phone. He was about to call Jessica when his phone suddenly rang.

Has this woman finally realized her mistake?

Lucas quickly picked up the phone, his expression softening slightly.

"Are you going to apologize?"
