Chapter 1717: Loss of Connection

Carl did not answer Molly's question. Instead, he directly walked out of the door.

Molly thought that Carl was going to find Jessica, so she hurriedly chased after him and told Carl where
Jessica had gone.

Carl didn't even turn around, and she didn't know if he had heard anything.

...

The rumors about Jessica's abortion came and went quickly.

After all, many years had passed. Moreover, Jessica was already a grown-up then, and it was hard to
tell what the truth was with Carl involved.

As for Jessica, her reputation had been excellent these past few years. She never had any negative
news. That night, netizens had already been distracted by other news.

It was all gone.

Molly had been busy all day, and she only ordered takeout at ten o'clock in the evening as her first
meal of the day.

Then she also realized that Jessica hadn't called her yet.

Technically speaking, Jessica should have arrived in the afternoon.

Molly called Jessica while eating.

"The subscriber you dialed is busy now..."

She couldn't get through. She then called Carl and couldn't get through, either.



Molly couldn't reach the two of them at the same time, so there must be something between them.
Molly wasn't worried at all.

However, after they had been missing for a week, Molly started to panic.

She first called the crew and wanted to apologize to the crew. However, the crew sent a message that
the project was delayed and the exact time was uncertain.

Molly was no longer a newbie when she first entered the industry. She immediately understood that
Carl must have secretly arranged it.

Since Carl had taken care of everything, Molly was delighted to be free, so she thought of it as a
holiday for herself.

...

When Jessica came back from the street, she found that the locked door was open.

"Jessica, are you back?"

Jessica turned around and saw Lucy coming out of the house.

"Yes." Jessica pointed to the house and said, "The owner just returned?"

"Someone came to this house a few days ago. He's a young man. He's quite handsome." Lucy had
lived in this remote but beautiful town all her life, so she spoke with an accent.

Jessica was amused by Lucy's accent, "Is that so?"

"I need to hang out for some time. I'll cook for you tonight. If you're hungry, you can pick some fruits in
the courtyard and stuff yourself first..."



"Alright."

After Lucy left, Jessica glanced at the other side before she entered.

That morning, after Molly sent her to the airport and left, she did not board the plane to go abroad as
Molly thought. Instead, she left the airport and went to a remote town more than 400 kilometers away
from Hoover City and stayed at Lucy's place.

The small town was beautiful and the scenery was pleasant. She had come here to shoot before and
liked this place very much. Young people all went to the city, leaving behind some old people. Although
the old people also watched TV, they could not remember the faces of the actors.

Jessica stayed here for a week, and only occasionally met one or two people who would say that they
thought she looked familiar.

And she did not go out very often. She slept until she woke up naturally every day. After breakfast, she
would enjoy the cool air in the yard. She could stay quiet for a day like this and stay away from the
disturbance.

Jessica returned to her room and changed her clothes. She went to the lounge chair under the grape
rack in the courtyard for a bit of reading. She raised her head and saw a figure flashing in front of the
window of a room on the second floor.

However, she did not see it clearly.
