Jessica was stunned upon seeing the state that she was in.
She had never seen Joan ruin herself in such a manner before. Furthermore, she had never seen her so dispirited. What exactly happened? Puzzled, Jessica stared suspiciously at her.
“Joan, tell me what exactly happened between Larry and you,” she said gently as she stroked Joan's hair.
Uncaring that there were others around her, Joan suddenly cried, “That idiot actually suspects me! I feel so upset!”

Without any further hesitation, she then took out her phone and called Larry.
“What's going on, Larry? Joan just got back, but you've already made her upset? Why are you always so petty? All she did was hang out with Dustin for a few days...”
Jessica had spoken very rudely and with a bad attitude. As a result, Larry became stunned by the situation.

Therefore, he knew that she had wronged him and did not continue the conversation any further.
“Okay, I still have a lot to deal with here. I'll talk to you later,” he replied before hanging up the phone.

Turning back to Joan, Jessica raised her glass and said, “Cheers, Joan! Tonight, I'll drink with you as much as you want!” Then, she downed the entire glass.
Looking at how enthusiastic she was being, Joan smiled. “I knew you were loyal! We'll drink till we drop tonight!”
Just like that, in one corner of the bar, the two women continuously shouted, drank, sang, and complained...
