Claiming Her Back

Chapter 164

Jessica tried to list all her enemies in the past year. But still, she had no clue.

Jessica collected her thoughts and looked up at Lucas. “That’s strange. You know all of those who hate

me and dare to plot me.”

Lucas understood what she meant, and his face darkened. I’ll look into it.”

see.”

Jessica responded. She looked at the remote control on the table and picked it up. “It’s a bit cold.”

“You may raise the temperature.”

Jessica didn’t respond. Lucas gazed at her but didn’t speak, either. The room fell silent.

They then heard a noise outside the door. Jessica glanced at Lucas and said, “They’ve come to open

the door.”

“Yes.”

Lucas looked at Jessica and rose from the sofa.

When the door was kicked open, both Jessica and Lucas were dumbstruck.

The man who kicked the door was surprised to see them, too. “What?”

The hotel manager turned around to the man behind him, who had claimed that her cousin was about

to commit suicide. “Sir, your cousin…”

Before the hotel manager could finish, the two men behind him suddenly took out their cameras.

Jessica knew what was happening here. She hurried to cover her face to avoid the camera.

Lucas said with a stern face, “Give me the camera!”

The two men looked at each other and ran away with their cameras.

Lucas’ face immediately darkened. He looked at the hotel manager and hotel service staff members

standing at the door and said, “Who locked the door of the room last night?

The hotel manager did not recognize Lucas at first. When Lucas walked out of the room, the manager

instantly recognized him. He was so scared that he froze. “Mr. Thomas?”

“Are you deaf?”

Lucas looked cold. The hotel manager reacted and said tremblingly, “Mr. Thomas. No one locked the

door last night. The lock was broken.”

The hotel manager felt so scared when he recognized Lucas.

The manager doubted if he could still have a job in LA if he disturbed Lucas.

The hotel staff members didn’t know much about Lucas. Seeing their manager’s attitude, they only

thought Lucas was an important guest.

A staff member picked up the bag on the floor and asked, “Does the bag belong to the lady inside?”

The hotel manager felt embarrassed when he heard what the staff member said.

How could he hit right to the sore point?

Lucas heard the staff member’s words and looked down at the bag. He frowned slightly and glanced at

Jessica.

In the end, Lucas still reached for the bag and said, “You may see yourselves out now. The phone in

the room doesn’t work. Send me a spare phone later.”

The hotel manager did not dare to say anything. He nodded and left with the staff.

Lucas tried to close the door. But the door was kicked open and the lock was broken. Thus, he couldn’t

close the door tight.

Lucas dropped the bag on the end table and said, “This must be your bag.”

Jessica glanced at it. It was indeed her bag.

She hurried to check on the bag. Her car key and cell phone were all there. Nothing was lost.

Jessica took out her phone and saw the unread messages from Hannah.

But it was not the right time to read those messages. She picked up her bag and said, “My car is right

downstairs. I’ll be leaving now.”

Lucas did not object. “I will look into the whole thing.”

“Sure.”

Jessica responded. She glanced at the back of Lucas’ hand and said, “Remember to treat your wound,

or it will get inflamed.”

Lucas froze, and before he could reply, Jessica had already left the room with her bag.

She took an elevator and went directly to the first floor. She then went to the open-air parking lot in front RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

of the hotel door to get her car and drove directly back to her apartment

After going back to her apartment, Jessica took a hot bath first and drank a glass of vitamin C before

she called Wendy and asked her to look into what happened last night.

Wendy was also shocked when she heard what happened last night. She subconsciously asked, “Miss

Hall, are you alright?”

Jessica raised her hand and rubbed her head, “I’m fine. Help me find out who sent those three people

last night.”

Jessica would like to see who had the guts to trick her.

At the same time, Vincent also rushed to the hotel to deliver clothes for Lucas. Seeing Lucas in a

bathrobe, Vincent paused, He got even more nervous when he saw the mess in the bathroom.

What happened last night? Why did Lucas look as terrifying as Satan today?
