Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 791

[What's with all the commotion? Pearl's the smart one here. She hasn't spent a penny on the ad, and she's already made a

whopping 41 million dollars. Do you think she's dumb?]

With a toothbrush in hand, Pearl casually scrolled through the comments, nodding in satisfaction. She didn't mind the chaos in the

comments. The more lively it became, the more attention the ad would get, which would help boost sales.

After a quick shower, she applied smakeup and changed, getting ready to meet two people she didn't really want to see.

Earlier that morning, Hugo had messaged her about discussing a collaboration. Hugo was a smart guy, and Pearl had always found

excuses to avoid meeting him. This time, however, she couldn't cup with any excuses and had to meet him willingly.

Not only that, but she also had to meet Richard. With the three of them meeting, who knew what awkward situations might arise?

The more she thought about it, the more awkward it seemed. She decided to stop thinking about it altogether.

Pearl put on sbright and fabulous lipstick, hoping it would make her appear more confident. She then drove to the cafe where

they had agreed to meet.

As she arrived, she saw two people standing very close to each other.

Hugo hadn't arrived yet. Only Richard was there, and he had brought Winona with him. They were being very affectionate with

each other and didn't seem to be embarrassed even in public.

Pearl adjusted her sunglasses and walked past them. They seemed to have eyes only for each other and probably didn't even

notice her.

Just a few steps away, Pearl was stopped by a flirtatious voice from behind.

"Hey, Pearl. How can you not say hi when we meet?" Winona, with one arm around Richard, smiled boldly at her, a smile that made

Pearl uncomfortable.

Pearl couldn't help but frown and replied with a polite smile, "My bad. You two were so cozy. | thought scrazy couple was going

wild here."

When Winona heard the first part of the sentence, she thought Pearl was jealous. She was about to assert dominance, but the word

‘crazy’ changed her expression completely. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"What do | mean? Isn't it obvious?" Pearl replied. "I don't think it's that hard to understand. Did you struggle in English class, Miss

Jesselton?" Her words were full of sarcasm.

Winona hadn't forgotten the twhen Pearl slapped her for no reason. She had hoped to get along with her in front of Richard,

but Pearl's disrespect caught her off guard. She tried to make amends, but Pearl brushed it off.

"Miss Pearl, isn't your way of speaking a bit harsh? | had no issue with you. How could you say something to embarrasslike

that?" Winona said, sounding frustrated and with tears gleaming in her eyes, making her look pitiful as if she expected others to

feel sorry for her.

Richard's expression turned cold in an instant. "Miss Pearl, mind your words, please."

Pearl removed her sunglasses, and the icy glare in her eyes matched his. "I can speak for myself and say what | want. | don't need

anyone to tellwhat to do."

After saying that, she glanced at Winona beside him, who still kept her eyes lowered as if she had been deeply hurt. "If Miss

Jesselton can't handle this, she can cancel the deal. After all, the money hasn't been received yet, and there's still tto back

out."

Winona had initially chere to annoy Pearl. How could she give up halfway? She wiped her tears and said, "Alright, | won't dwell

on this with Miss Pearl."

"Hey, are we having a tea party today? | could smell the brewing from a mile away before even stepping in."

Hugo suddenly appeared, and his first sentence changed everyone's expressions except Pearl's.
