Chapter 068 Earth-Shattering Reversal
Jessica: Favorability +5
Jessica: Favorability +5
Jessica: Favorability +1
Current Favorability: 91 points
After Charles' deception, Jessica's favorability not only went up again, but it actually went up by one point.
Even though it was only one point.
The higher the favorability, the harder it was to increase.
Especially after 90 points, any increase in favorability is quite difficult.
Actually, after Charles explained everything clearly.
Jessica felt a bit sad.
Because she realized that Charles never really liked her from the beginning, nor did he pursue her. He was just trying to complete the task of inheriting the estate.
But even though she felt hurt, she found herself admiring Charles' character even more!
This precisely showed that Charles wasn't a casual man who could turn around and pursue another woman right after breaking up with Lisa.
Such transitions were also a kind of douchebag behavior.
Previously, Jessica had always been reserved in her attitude toward Charles.
Because Charles was pursuing her and also tipping off other female streamers online. If she said she wasn't jealous or didn't doubt Charles' character at all, it would be impossible!
No matter how many good qualities a person had, they couldn't completely hide their flaws.
But Charles's explanation this time made her realize that he wasn't simply driven by lust, nor was he a spendthrift who recklessly threw money at female streamers!
He was spending two billion dollars to inherit eighty billion dollars.
He had a legitimate reason.
Moreover, although Charles made it sound easy, could the task of inheriting an eighty billion dollar estate really be that easy?
Of course not!
He seemed calm, but who knows how much pressure he was under.
In such a wealthy family, worth tens of billions, how could there not be intrigues and plots?
Yet Charles told her such an important secret.
This showed that her position in Charles' heart was somewhat special!
After a round of self-reflection, Jessica's gaze towards Charles became more and more tender!
"Charles, I really didn't know you were under so much pressure. Compared to you, I'm really too naive and have always misunderstood you. I'm really sorry!"
"What?"
"Have I been under a lot of pressure?"
"How come I didn't know?"
"What on earth were you thinking?"
Charles was confused.
He thought maybe Jessica had been watching too many TV dramas.
She always imagined some storylines.
Otherwise, she wouldn't say such weird things.
"So... do you really understand me?"
Charles didn't know what she was thinking, but saying "you understand me" couldn't be wrong!
Jessica: Favorability +1
Current Favorability: 92 points.
'Damn, that works too?'
Just like that.
Charles talked to Jessica for five minutes in the stairwell.
Then he took her back to the restaurant.
Before they went out, everyone in the hall saw that Jessica was furious at the time, as if she wanted to devour Charles alive.
Such a douchebag, caught being unfaithful red-handed by his girlfriend, should be torn to pieces!
Nothing else would soothe her anger.
But five minutes later...
Jessica came back!
Her states returned to normal, even looking shy, and she followed Charles with a guilty expression?
What the hell?
What?
Otis pushed down his gold-rimmed glasses and shocked.
He had just seen clearly now that the relationship between Mr. Smoke and Jessica was obvious.
He was caught on the spot by official girlfriend.
In his view, it was unresolvable!
Jessica's reaction didn't seem to be something that could be coaxed.
But Mr. Smoke let her to the stairwell.
Five minutes!
It only took five minutes!
There was a shocking turnaround.
Jessica was fine!
Not only was she completely fine, but she also looked guilty!
As if the one who had done something wrong wasn't Mr. Smoke, but the woman herself!
Otis, at thirty-six years old, even felt the urge to become a disciple!
If he had Mr. Smoke's skills, his wife at home would have been tamed long ago.
He wouldn't have to worry about getting caught every time he went out to date other young girls.
"Sorry, I was in a bad mood just now and affected everyone's meal. I apologize to everyone!" Jessica apologized to the other diners first, then turned to Otis and Hannah and said generously, "You are Charles' friends, so you are my friends. I'll treat you today!"
"No, no, Ms. Lewis, I said I will treat you today!"
Otis immediately said politely.
"It's okay, Charles' friends are my friends, don't be polite!"
Jessica's words seemed to speak to Otis.
But in fact, her words revealed a meaning, that her relationship with Charles was not ordinary.
They were on the same side!
Not someone to be easily swayed.
If you want to seduce Charles, you should know who I am!
Hannah obviously understood what Jessica meant.
But she didn't care at all.
An ultra-rich patron like Mr. Smoke, how could he not have a few intimate female friends?
There were already four or five female streamers he tipped.
She never cared about that!
Looking at Jessica, she probably wasn't Mr. Smoke's girlfriend either.
How else could she be coaxed with just a few words?
Since none of them were Mr. Smoke's girlfriend, why act superior?
Everyone competed fairly.
Everyone had a chance!
If you met an excellent man, you should take the initiative to win him over!
Hannah had been in the streaming industry for three years, rising from an unknown streamer to where she was today.
She deeply understood this principle!
If you don't seize the opportunity, you'll end up being the one in trouble!
"Come on, let's sit down and eat, we've been hungry all day!"
Charles waved his hand and found a seat in the restaurant to sit down!
Jessica immediately followed and sat down to his left without hesitation.
Not to be outdone, Hannah sat on Charles' right.
The atmosphere was inexplicably tense and was filled with a sense of gunpowder.
"Mr. Smoke, I would like to explain what happened at noon. Two years ago, I was an unknown streamer and I had a boyfriend who was my top supporter, he was very generous. Later, when we met, I found him to be not only humorous, but also decent, a mature man who knew how to take care of people, so we got together. We were in love for a year, and I really loved him, gave him almost everything, but in the end he not only got together with my best friend, but also cheated me out of my money! My hard-earned salary from a year of streaming was borrowed by him under the pretext of doing business, and because of contract loopholes, I couldn't get my money back! Since then, I've been very sensitive to people who borrow money, which is why I overreacted to you at the airport. I really didn't mean to."
Hannah's eyes were red, and her tone was incredibly sincere.
She really seemed to be reliving some painful memories!
