Chapter 067 Charles's Excuse
"Charles, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are rich?"
"Do you think I'll be your mistress just because you're rich? Let me tell you, it's impossible. I, Jessica, will never share a man with another woman in my life, no matter who he is!"
Jessica spoke with unwavering determination.
She looked at Charles as if he were an irredeemable douchebag.
Being romantically involved with two people at the same time crossed the moral line and deserved no forgiveness!
No matter what kind of explanation, it's just an excuse!
Charles quickly pondered a countermeasure.
The key was, how to could he resolve this unexpected situation?
Jessica: Favorability -5
Jessica: Favorability -5
Charles was silent for a moment when Jessica's affection for him continued to decrease.
In this situation, any explanation he made would be futile.
The only way to break the deadlock was to turn passive into active!
"Jessica, is there some kind of misunderstanding? We're just normal classmates. Why are you suddenly so hostile to me? What mistress? Are you overthinking this?"
Charles retorted with a question.
This question left Jessica stunned!
It seemed... she wasn't really Charles' girlfriend.
From the beginning to then end, he had never confessed, and they never officially confirmed their relationship.
They weren't even considered a couple.
Since they weren't a couple, the accusation that Charles was romantically involved with two people didn't hold up!
He was free and single, of course he could be with whoever he wanted, and it had nothing to do with Jessica.
"No, that's not true. If we're just ordinary classmates, why did you give me a luxury villa? Why did you send me gifts on the live stream? Weren't you pursuing me?"
Jessica's attitude softened a bit, but she still questioned aggressively.
"Jessica, it's a long story. You should know that I don't just reward you. Recently, I've been spending an unknown amount of money on various streaming platforms, but actually... I have my reasons!"
Charles said, subtly changing the topic.
"What are the things you cannot talk about?"
"Let's talk somewhere private. I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone else know!" Charles said, pulling Jessica's arm and walking to an empty stairwell.
Jessica didn't resist.
"Jessica, have you seen 'Brewster's Millions'?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"Since you've seen it, let's get to the point. My situation is similar to the character in the movie. I have an $8 billion inheritance to claim, but the condition for inheriting this huge sum is to spend $200 million within one month without leaving any assets. However, my restrictions aren't as many as in the movie. The only condition is that I can only spend it on women! Now you understand why I bought you a villa, sent you gifts, and did the same for other female streamers, right? Actually, I have no choice! By the way, the girl you saw earlier is just a streamer from the Shark Live streaming platform. She flew over from Nuw Yark today just because I rewarded her with $1.5 million. She was clinging to me, but we have nothing to do with each other!"
Charles spun a tale, and explained his relationship with Hannah!
Jessica was stunned by such explosive news.
"You have an $8 billion inheritance to claim?"
"The condition is that you spend $200 million within a month?"
"Isn't that a movie plot? Are you sure you're not making this up?"
If someone else had said it, Jessica wouldn't have believed it and would have thought it was a joke.
But when Charles said it, it suddenly seemed credible because he had actually done it.
He had been crazily rewarding female streamers on various platforms.
And the amounts were huge!
That was why her friend Sarah had discussed Charles several times.
She thought that Charles might be a playboy, falling for every pretty streamer he saw!
Now it seemed that he actually had his reasons!
The reason Charles bought her a $10 million luxury villa was merely to complete a family task and inherit the $8 billion.
He didn't pursue her.
She was... wishful thinking!
'Oh my, how embarrassing!'
Jessica blushed!
She felt she was being too narcissistic.
First of all, Charles wasn't pursuing her.
Second, she and Charles weren't in a relationship.
Given these conditions, the reason for Charles had relationships with many women didn't stand.
He wasn't a douchebag.
And Charles had explained that the girl holding his hand was just a streamer from Shark Platform who was clinging to him.
She had just flown in from Nuw Yark today. How could she have an unclear relationship with Charles?
When she thought about it, she had no reason to be angry.
She wasn't even his girlfriend, so what right did she have to insult him?
Just because she saw a girl holding his hand?
By clarifying the relationship, Jessica's perspective changed!
Different relationships naturally have different expectations.
And it's easier to see things from the other person's perspective.
The key point is... Charles really does have an $8 billion inheritance to claim?
What a huge amount of money!
If other girls knew that, who knows how many gold diggers would come to seduce Charles.
He's young, wealthy, handsome, and has an $8 billion inheritance waiting for him.
"Sorry, Charles, I misunderstood you. I shouldn't have yelled at you in front of so many people!"
Jessica apologized softly. Then she lowered her head.
"It's okay, as long as you understand. On the contrary, if my actions recently caused any misunderstanding, I'm really sorry. Perhapse I should have told you earlier. Actually, after what happened with Lisa, I don't want to date anyone for a while. I just want to complete the task and inherit the family fortune!"
Charles said with deep affection.
As if he didn't want to start a new relationship immediately after being heartbroken, which was also a respect for the past relationship.
Of course, Charles said this as a forewarning.
He could continue to reward other female streamers and flirt with other girls, without making any excuses!
Just perfect!
