Molly was in her early twenties, and did not treat Jessica as an outsider. When Molly cried, she looked
childish and cute.
Jessica found Molly very funny, and wanted to laugh every time she saw Molly.
When Molly was crying so sadly, it was quite improper for Jessica to laugh at her.
Jessica barely withheld her laugh and took a tissue paper to wipe Molly's tears.
"Come on, stop crying. I'll cover your living expenses. Now that I'm staying with you, you can eat with
me. But don't be fussy about food."
"Really?" Molly immediately stopped crying.
Seeing that, Jessica blinked her eyes and asked, "Are you really crying or just pretending?"
Molly almost cried her eyes out just now. After Jessica said she would pay for her living expenses,
Molly stopped crying in no time.
She was indeed a masterful actor.
"Jessica, please live up to your promise. I'll rely on you from now on. You're my great benefactor."
Jessica was speechless.
Carl said he would return the resources he had stolen to Jessica and keep his promise.
Jessica quickly went back to work.
After she returned, there was more work waiting for her, and business invitations and scripts flooded in.
Molly handled everything for her.
The Joneses were really capable at work. Normally, Molly looked as unreliable as Carl, but she was
good at handling things.
Not two weeks after the New Year, Jessica had attended dozens of events.
After a gala, Jessica saw Carl when she came out.
"Where's Molly?" Jessica looked around, but did not see Molly.
"Her mother was here, so she ran away in advance and asked me to pick you up." Carl sat lazily on the
sofa with a cigarette in his hand.
Jessica cast a glance at his cigarette. Carl did not react at first, but after two seconds, he put it out.
"I can drive." Jessica knew Molly had escaped from her engagement. Now that Jessica's parents were
looking for her, she must run away because she didn't want to be caught.
Carl snorted, "You've worked for a whole day. Do you want to drive fatigued?"
This was the first time Jessica had seen Carl since she moved to Molly's apartment. Over ten days had
passed, and Jessica felt unfamiliar with Carl when she saw him again.
"I'm not tired." Jessica raised her eyebrows, picked up her coat and walked out.
When Jessica heard the footsteps behind her, she knew Carl was following her. She turned around
impatiently and said, "Don't you think you're...?"
Halfway through her words, she saw Carl holding the key in front of her. Pausing for a moment, she
snatched the key over and said, "Thanks."
Jessica took the key and intended to drive back to Molly's apartment.
Looking through the rearview mirror, she noticed Carl didn't move.
The lights were dim, and she could not see Carl's expression clearly. But she could somehow feel that
he was a bit strange.
After hesitating for a moment, Jessica started the car, turned it around and headed to Carl.
She wanted to come back and ask him what was going on. When she was about to open the door and
look for Carl, she saw a car stop in front of him.
Sivan opened the door and got off. She grabbed Carl's arm and said something.
Then Carl got into the car and left with her.
