Carl didn't look at her any longer and walked straight into the elevator.
Sivan maintained the expression, eyes full of tears.
As soon as the elevator door closed, her expression changed, and the tears were gone, leaving only
ambition.
She knew Carl would dump her one day. However, it didn't matter. She had come up with a plan.
It wasn't that easy for Carl to get rid of her. She was not like that idiot Jessica, and would never hand
over all the resources she had.
But those resources were nothing. Even with the best resources, she was just an actress. However, if
she could marry Carl, she would become Mrs. Jones, and that was glorious.
She had tried so hard to obtain such an opportunity, so she would definitely hold on to it.
Carl drove all the way home.
By the time he got home, it was already midnight.
Carl's parents slept early even in New Year Day. Carl had told them he wouldn't go home for dinner on
New Year's Eve. Only the lights at the entrance of the villa and in the courtyard were still on.
Carl looked around the villa, then opened the car window, and looked towards Jessica's villa not far
away.
It was pitch-black at the Hicks'.
Carl couldn't help but feel strange. Even if the Hicks family had fallen asleep, the lights at the entrance
should be still on. How came it was so dark?
Did Leonardo lie to him?
No, he wouldn't.
Leonardo was very reliable.
Carl took out his phone and sent Jessica a text message, "Come out."
After waiting for a while, he thought Jessica might not reply to him, so he added, "If you don't come out,
I will shout your name loudly at the door. I don't care if I'll wake others up."
It was a threat.
After that, Carl got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the Hicks'.
Just as he arrived at the entrance, his phone vibrated.
"You're at my home?"
Carl was delighted, "I'll give you three minutes to come out."
Jessica lay on the bed and read the messages sent by Carl. She replied lazily, "Three minutes is not
enough. Three hours will do."
How did Carl know she had returned home? Did Molly betray her?
However, his information was not accurate.
"You're not home?" Carl finally realized that.
However, Jessica did not reply him anymore.
Carl was so angry that he called Leonardo.
"If you want to say Happy New Year, it's OK to wait until the morning."
Leonardo sounded like he was in a good mood. However, Carl was in a bad mood.
"You said Jessica was at home. I'm right in front of her house right now, but she said she's not at
home!"
Carl was so angry now. He had planned to spend the night in the company and returning home
tomorrow morning. However, he had driven all the way back just to find out that Jessica was not at
home.
"Well," Leonardo said slowly, "Perhaps I didn't make it clear. I said Jessica was at home, but I didn't say
which home she was at. Do you remember her parents bought a piece of land in the countryside?
Jessica was there."
Carl didn't know what to do now. "God damn you!"
Leonardo laughed and said, "So are you."
Carl was so angry that he called Leonardo.
"If you want to say Happy New Year, it's OK to wait until the morning."
Leonardo sounded like he was in a good mood. However, Carl was in a bad mood.
"You said Jessica was at home. I'm right in front of her house right now, but she said she's not at
home!"
