Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas)

Chapter 172

Chapter 172
After Jessica went home, she thought about what Terry had said. He made a good point.
No matter how daring Grace was, she wouldn’t have had the guts to offend both the Hall family and the Thomas family at the same time.
Jessica had not been based in LA before, so it was understandable that Grace didn’t take Jessica seri ously
But everyone knew that Lucas was the last person one would ever want to mess up with in LA.
What Terry said made Jessica have second thoughts about the whole thing. She had a hunch that something was wrong, but she just couldn’t tell what exactly.
Thus, with a frown, Jessica called Wendy. Wendy should still be working.
Wendy quickly answered the phone. Jessica smiled and said directly, “Good evening, Wendy. Sorry to disturb you. I hope you can help me further investigate the people around Grace.”
“Miss Hall, is there anything wrong with the current result?”
Wendy didn’t see this coming. But she soon understood Jessica’s concerns.

Jessica chuckled. “Not exactly. Perhaps my concerns are unnecessary. But it’s just this woman seems too daring.”
Wendy asked no more questions and said, “I see. I’ll have it reinvestigated now.”
“Thanks,” Jessica said.
“You are welcome, Miss Hall. Good night.”
“Good night, Wendy.”
Jessica hung up the phone as she raised her eyebrows.
Hopefully, she was only being unnecessarily suspicious. Jessica didn’t want any new enemies.
Jessica thought that it would take Wendy quite some time to reinvestigate, but unexpectedly, the next afternoon, Wendy came to her office with the result.
“We checked Grace’s bank statement again, and our conclusion is still the same. The money reached Judy before it went through several people. But there is indeed something strange,” said Wendy.
“Elaborate on it,” said Jessica as she dragged her gaze from the report to Wendy.
*All these go-betweens have nothing to do with Mr. Thomas. I checked their bank statements,” said Wendy as she went to Jessica and took a page out of the report.
Wendy added, “One of the go-betweens transferred a sum of money two days before that night to a man named Bob. The time is right. But still, this guy is just a rascal in a slum. He has nothing to do with Mr. Thomas, either”
Jessica checked Bob’s profile. She had never met the man before. But when Jessica read through the rest of the results, she found the whole thing more complicated than she had ever imagined.
She closed the report and said to Wendy, “Then keep an eye on Bob. See if he’s indeed involved.”
“Yes, Miss Hall.“ Wendy nodded and turned to leave Jessica’s office.
Meanwhile, Lucas received a call from Dwayne before he got off work. Dwayne said that Justin was sick and wanted Lucas to go back home.
