Seeing that Carl was thinking about something, Jessica said coldly, "Stop talking about this. Finish it
and leave me alone."
"Where can I go? I said I'm here to seek your help and give me a place to stay for the night." Carl said
legitimately.
Jessica said, "Did I said yes?"
Carl said, "No."
Jessica looked at him and said, "Then you know what is going to happen, right?"
Carl did not feel discouraged by Jessica's refusal. Instead, he complained bitterly to her, "But I don't
know where I can stay. You know my house was burnt down."
"Where is your other house?" Jessica knew Carl had a large villa. The location was very good and he
had bought it for a long time. Now, the price had risen to over a hundred million dollars.
"The water pipe burst days ago, and it's being renovated. The house won't be available until a year
later." Carl pretended to be sad and sighed, "Why do I have to go through all these difficulties in my
life?"
At the same time, Carl looked at Jessica secretly. Since he had said this, Jessica should understand
his situation and agree to let him stay.
Jessica pondered for a moment and said, "I remember you have a private guest room in the Golden
Cauldron Club."
Carl had shares in the Golden Cauldron Club. So he should have a private guest room in this club like
Leonardo, one that he could stay at any time.
As one of the shareholders of the club, he should be well-served without worrying about washing,
cooking and other things. And the life there was more convenient.
Carl choked for a moment, but he reacted quickly, "Recently, the business of the Golden Cauldron Club
is booming. Income from one room can reach hundreds of thousands a year, so I check out of the
room."
"It's none of my business." Jessica said uncompromisingly.
Since she didn't give in, Carl had to play his trump card.
Carl ate all the food on the plate, slowly wiped his lips with a napkin, and then said, "Jessica, thinking
about our friendship. I just need to stay at your place for a little while. Do you think I turn to you
because I still love you?"
Jessica looked away.
Seeing her reaction, Carl continued, "You don't have to think like that. As a man, I certainly respect our
decision at that time. I come to you because I don't want to stay in a hotel. You know I can't sleep well
in an unfamiliar place. Every time I move, I have to adapt to the new environment for a long time."
Jessica knew it. Carl not only liked to entertain himself, but also extremely fastidious.
Ordinary people couldn't sleep well in an unfamiliar bed. Carl couldn't sleep well in an unfamiliar house.
"Alright, if you really don't want me to stay, I can rent a house... I suppose we have talked about it, but I
didn't expect you still cannot let it go. It's fine to refuse me, or you will have other thoughts."
Jessica immediately sneered and said disdainfully, "Other thoughts? What are they?"
Carl spread his hands and said, "You know what they are."
"Put you up? Fine, stay as long as you like!" Jessica angrily got up and returned to her bedroom.
Carl said faintly, "Thanks."
Jessica slammed her bedroom door.
The calmness in Carl's face immediately disappeared. He jumped up from his chair with
excitement.
