Predestined Marriage
Chapter 1607: Don't Touch Me

At that time, Jessica wondered why the Rowland Group would have such a whopping funding gap.

Now she heard Carl's words and understood what was going on.

Jessica believed that Carl was telling the truth, but she couldn't accept it.

She asked Jayvion, "Is it true?"

Jayvion's face was pale. Jayvion moved his lips but could say nothing to defend himself.

His expression had answered Jessica.

Jessica muttered, "Looks like it's true."

Jessica was determined to help Jayvion. Although she did this to irritate Carl, Jayvion was her childhood friend and she wanted to help him.

She couldn't sit by and watch Jayvion get into trouble.

Jessica didn't expect that Jayvion was the bane of the funding gaps.

It wasn't the Rowland Group that was in trouble, but Jayvion.

She had guessed that something had happened to Jayvion, but she chose to trust him and help him.

But what happened?

She was cheated.

Jessica coldly asked Jayvion, "In Sivan's video, the footage of you was a warning from the underground casino, right?"

"Yes," Jayvion mumbled.

Jessica asked again, "After you returned, you told me that you loved me. Do you want me and my family corporation to fill the funding gaps you caused?" "I really like you!" Jayvion denied.

"You like me?" Jessica smiled self-deprecatingly, "But you cheated me."

"Jessica!" Carl noticed that Jessica's mood had changed. It seemed that she was about to collapse. Carl walked over and pulled her into his embrace. Jessica slapped Carl's hand and said in a sharp voice, "Don't touch me!"

Carl did not expect Jessica's reaction. He was stunned for a few seconds before his expression returned to normal.

Jessica looked at Jayvion and said, "Speak!"

Carl frowned slightly. At this moment, he had a strange feeling. Carl felt that Jessica wasn't questioning Jayvion, but him.

Did he have an illusion because he was too busy lately?

Jessica was smart. Jayvion thought about all the excuses, but in the end, he said, "I'm sorry."

"Alright." Jessica pursed her lips and nodded, seemingly calm. "Our friendship ends here. Growing up together couldn't prevent you from lying to me." Jessica stood up and walked out with her cell phone. She forgot her bag.

She was angry, and Carl wanted to stop her, but he couldn't.

Carl looked down at his hand and then turned to warn Jayvion, "Stay away from Jessica in the future."

Afterward, Carl walked out to follow Jessica.

Jessica took the elevator to the first floor.

When she reached the door, she met Leonardo and Summer.

"Jessica?" Summer did not expect Jessica to be in the Golden Cauldron Club. Summer smiled when she saw Jessica.

Jessica was angry, but she wouldn't vent her anger on Summer.

Jessica forced out a smile and said, "Nice to see you."

"Did you come with Carl?" Summer guessed that Jessica and Carl had come together.

After Summer finished asking, Leonardo gently pinched Summer's arm.

Summer turned to Leonardo in confusion, only to see Leonardo shake his head slightly at her.
