Jessica knew what she said to Carl earlier was a bit too ruthless. Therefore, she understood why Carl
was angry.
She also knew that Carl proposed to give Sivan all her resources partly to vent his anger. At that time,
she agreed without hesitation to work off Carl's anger.
She just didn't want to get entangled with Carl anymore. Her words hurt him, so she tried to make up
for it. However, this didn't mean she had to be treated shabbily and swallow her anger.
She was no longer the eighteen-year-old Jessica. Eighteen-year-old Jessica had nothing to lose.
She was not like Molly, who was at her early twenties and had many fancy ideas.
In two years, she would be thirty. A woman of this age knew how to protect her self-esteem. Even if she
fell, she should keep her composure.
"Then it depends on whether you respect me or not." Carl said calmly as he looked at Jessica with
deep eyes.
Jessica thought for a moment and made up her mind.
She calmly pushed the glass towards Molly and said, "Molly, you know I have a cold. Please help me
drink it."
This meant she didn't intend to show Carl any respect.
After Jessica finished speaking, she even sneezed for the occasion.
Molly looked at the glass of wine in front of her and frowned. This would probably be the worst wine
she had ever tasted in her life. She didn't know whether to drink it or not.
"If you don't want to drink it, just say it directly. Why do you ask others to drink for you?" Carl said in a
harsh tone and seemed a little angry.
"I've told you several times that I had a cold and couldn't drink!" Jessica replied coldly, tinged with
obvious anger.
She was really angry. Carl was making trouble for no reason.
She thought that she would be able to get on well with Carl after concessions, but she was wrong.
Summer said Carl was mature enough to bear the responsibility at this age and let her confess
everything to Carl. However, she realized Carl had not made any progress over the years.
Carl looked at Jessica's angry eyes and was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously tried to comfort
her, "I didn't mean that, I mean..."
Jessica interrupted him coldly. "Mr. Carl, I'm not feeling well. I want to go back now."
Before Carl could speak, Jessica stood up and left. Everyone looked at them in dismay, not knowing
why it ended up like this.
Jessica was really arrogant. She didn't drink with Sivan and didn't even respect Carl. Now, she even
left directly.
No actress in the show business could be as bold as Jessica.
"I ... I'm leaving too." Molly hurriedly went out to chase after Jessica.
Sivan walked to Carl's side and comforted him softly. "Carl, don't be angry with Miss Jessica..." She
even extended her hand to pat him on the shoulder.
Carl ducked her hand and said nothing. He lifted the wine glass in front of him and drank it up in one
gulp.
When he stood up, he looked like nothing had happened. "Jessica has been in the company for so
many years. You all know her temper. Don't be affected by her. Let's continue."
After that, everyone returned to their seats.
