Sivan's face paled. She hurriedly explained, "Mr. Carl, I didn't mean it."
Carl said impatiently, "Just go away."
Sivan knew she couldn't do anything even if she stayed here. Carl's face clouded over with anger.
"Well, I'll get out of your hair right now." Sivan whispered.
Just as she finished speaking, Carl turned around and went into the office.
Sivan clenched her teeth and left grudgingly.
Summer took Rosie out for lunch.
When Summer had just finished ordering, she received a message on WeChat from Jessica asking
what she was doing. After Jessica knew they were having lunch, Jessica made a video call to them.
As soon as the video call was connected, Rosie leaned over and said, "Auntie Jessica."
In the video, Jessica smiled and waved at Rosie, "Little Rosie, are you eating?"
"Yes!" Rosie nodded earnestly, and then she dipped her head to get another bite.
Seeing that Rosie was eating, Summer turned the phone on herself. Summer could see Jessica's place
from the phone and knew she was in hotel.
"When will you be back? Are you tired lately?"
"I don't know yet. It may take a few more days...."
Summer and Jessica chatted casually. After a while, Rosie filled herself and leaned towards the phone
again.
Rosie knelt on the sofa and blinked her eyes to Jessica. "If you don't come back, Uncle Carl won't be
yours."
"What?" Jessica couldn't help but laugh, "What did you say?"
When Summer realized what was going on, she wanted to stop Rosie immediately. But without waiting
for Summer to say anything, Rosie blurted out, "Uncle Carl just hugged a woman in the office...."
Summer closed her eyes and sighed awkwardly.
She thought Sivan tried to mess things up, but Summer didn't expect that the first one who started the
trouble was her daughter.
Summer quickly took her phone away and explained to Jessica, "Jessica, listen to me, that...."
Jessica only paused for a moment, but she soon regained her composure. She interrupted Summer,
"Why are you so nervous? Do you think I don't know what Carl is like? I don't even care. No one knows
him better than me."
'She is right. If anyone asks who knows Carl best, it must be Jessica.'
'After all, they grew up together.'
Thinking of it, Summer stopped talking about it.
In the evening, Summer returned home. She talked to Leonardo about what had happened in the office
during the day.
Leonardo mocked and joked, "So lousy."
Summer looked up at him and said, "Who are you talking about?"
"Carl and his artist. Both of them are so lousy." Leonardo explained with a meaningful smile.
Summer knew he had something to say.
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it again." Leonardo flicked her forehead gently.
Summer frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, she suddenly remembered something and
widened her eyes, "Do you mean Carl deliberately led Sivan approach him? Did he want Jessica to be
jealous?"
Leonardo raised his eyebrows, "Or what?"
"Maybe." Summer nodded in agreement. "Carl used to deal with so many women. Manipulating Sivan,
a naive girl, was in his element. But he couldn't overdo it in case Jessica found out."
Summer remembered what Jessica said to her before Jessica left. Summer shook her head and said,
"I thought he would shoot himself in the foot."
Jessica had figured it out. She wasn't in a sulk, and provocation no longer worked for her.
