"Stop drinking, Jessica."
Summer reached out to take away the wine bottle from Jessica's hands. Her voice was gentle and full
of concerns, "What happened?"
Jessica suddenly called her and asked her to drink with her.
Summer could sense that something was wrong from Jessica's voice, but she did not ask her anything
on the phone. She simply said okay to Jessica, knowing that she could ask her face to face later.
However, when Summer arrived at the room Jessica had told her on the phone, she found Jessica was
drinking. There were several empty wine bottles beside her.
Jessica did not say anything, and just wouldn't stop drinking.
Jessica looked at her empty hands, and suddenly laughed. She showed her hands to Summer and
said, "Summer, look, empty. There's nothing in my hands."
No matter in the past or now, there was nothing in her hands.
She couldn't keep anything in her hands.
Summer did not know the context, so she was even more confused when she heard those words.
Summer held Jessica's hands and asked tentatively, "Does it have something to do with Carl?"
Jessica came from a wealthy family and she was beautiful and attractive. Everyone liked her when she
was still a child.
When she was still a rookie in the entertainment industry, the audience had picked on her and criticized
her. There were times when she was given a low job without much work or had to do some demeaning
work, but she just laughed about it.
Even though she came from a wealthy family, she was never a fragile girl. She would not lose control of
herself if she just had a hard time, except when Carl was involved.
Jessica froze, and became quiet and soberer.
After a while, she whispered, "He slept with Sivan."
"Is there a misunderstanding?" Summer did not know what Jessica had seen in the morning, so she
thought that Jessica had misunderstood Carl.
Carl paid some attention to Sivan, but he did it only because he wanted Jessica to admit that she liked
him.
"There is no misunderstanding." Jessica smiled bitterly, "This morning, I saw Sivan coming out of Carl's
bedroom with my own eyes."
She looked at Summer and repeated, "I saw it with my own eyes!"
Summer was so shocked that she was lost for words.
After a few seconds, she said, "Sivan is an ambitious girl. Are you sure there isn't any
misunderstanding?"
Carl was not an innocent guy. How could he let Sivan get her way?
Even Summer could see through Sivan's tricks. How was it possible that Carl did not see through
them?
"Misunderstanding?" Jessica almost burst into laughter, "Do you think Carl would let a random woman
into his room?"
Of course Carl could see through Sivan's tricks at a glance.
Even though Carl could see through Sivan's tricks, he still let Sivan get her way. Wasn't that a perfect
proof that the relationship between Carl and Jessica was consensual?
"Did you listen to Carl's explanation?" Summer still felt there was something fishy about what had
happened.
"Why should I? I've seen it with my own eyes. What should I listen to his explanation? I don't want him
to tell me how Sivan got into his room and on his bed...."
"Jessica!" Summer couldn't bear to listen to Jessica's words, as she felt so sorry for Jessica.
"Drink it." Summer put the bottle back into Jessica's hands.
She could understand Jessica's feelings.
Leonardo had pretended that he was together with Amber, when he tried to make Summer leave.
Summer could still remember how heartbroken she was at that time.
She knew nothing could comfort Jessica when she was too upset.
Summer also opened a bottle of wine for herself, and began to drink with Jessica.
Jessica was already drunk, but she still tried to stop Summer from drinking. She said, "Rosie's dad
would punish you if you get drunk here!"
Summer froze for a moment, as Leonardo did indeed warn her not to drink.
But...
"I don't care. I just want to drink with you."
There was a clang.
Summer and Jessica clinked the bottles in their hands, and then began to drink from the bottles.
