"How did that happen?" Sophia somehow wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Jessica was a little annoyed.
She couldn't even tell the exact reason for this annoyance. Maybe it was because she was at odds with Sophia or because she had seen pictures of Sophia and Carl sitting together intimately.
This confusion upset her even more.
Jessica couldn't put on a friendly face when she was disturbed. She said, "I fell on purpose. Are you happy now?"
"You..."
Sophia was lost for words. After a while, she said, "Jessica, I'm just trying to be nice. That's why I want to know what happened. You don't have to treat me as an enemy. I thought that we were getting over our past conflict. It seems
that you think differently and that I was wrong."
Jessica sneered.
She was telling the truth.
However, sometimes truth couldn't convince others.
Sophia felt that Jessica was mocking her when she saw her sneer.
She was also mad.
She looked at Jessica and said sarcastically, "No wonder Carl wants to make up with me. Look at yourself. You're still so bad-tempered in your late 20s. You're not a teenage girl anymore. No man can stand your temper."
Sophia's words were too mean.
Molly couldn't bear it anymore and said, "What's wrong with you? If you intend to annoy us, please go away now."
Jessica was a little tough, but Molly felt that this was the way Jessica should be.
Jessica was special because of her tough character.
Jessica might not be an easygoing person, but she was kind and never hurt anyone.
Therefore, Molly was totally fine with Jessica's character.
Sophia did not mind Molly's offending words.
She was Molly's senior after all. She would seem to be sensitive if she was irritated.
