Chapter 56
The police officer smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry for the misunderstanding earlier, Miss Pearl. I’ll get
someone to drive you home.”
Pearl waved her hand dismissively. “No need, I can go home on my own.”
So, the police officer ordered someone to walk her to the door.
Once outside the police station, Pearl spotted Richard and Hanzel rushing toward her in a state of
panic.
Seeing her safe and sound, Richard breathed a sigh of relief. However, Hanzel went forward and
grabbed Pearl’s shoulders, asking, “What happened, Pearl?”
Pearl smiled at him awkwardly. “It’s nothing. I ran into Emily, and she tried to frame me but ended up in
jail.”
“I’ve heard about this Emily, she’s quite difficult. How did you handle her?” Hanzel was curious.

attacking her on purpose. Luckily, I had my phone recording during the shoot to listen to my
performance, and I didn’t manage to turn it off. So, I happened to record all of her angry words.”
Richard knew Pearl was smart and could protect herself, but he frowned at the mention of Emily.
“Didn’t I drive her away long ago?”
He even warned that no company would hire her, or they would become Waldorf Enterprises‘ enemies.
Unexpectedly, Emily refused to give up and stayed in this city.
“Yes, you did, but she insisted on causing trouble.” Pearl shrugged. “Maybe she really hates me.”
Looking somber, Richard decided it was time to teach Emily a harsh lesson to ensure she never came
back.
Hanzel was also relieved that Pearl was safe. “Maybe we should pause today’s shoot. You’ve been
through a lot today. We can shoot the rest of it another time.”
However, Pearl shook her head and declined his offer. “Your schedule must be tight, being a star and
all. I can’t delay this further because of what happened. Let’s go back and try to finish before sunset.”
Richard and Hanzel reluctantly returned to the shooting location with Pearl, as she was determined to
continue. Hanzel and
Pearl resumed their shoot.
Three days later, the advertisement was officially released. Within the first hour, sales of First Love and
First Sight surged by thirty percent, proving the huge number of Hanzel and Nancie’s fans.

would lead to a real–life love story.

Pearl didn’t pay much attention to these comments, as they seemed normal to her, but Richard was
noticeably uncomfortable..
He didn’t speak to Pearl for the entire day.
When Pearl returned home late that night after working overtime, she was greeted by the strong scent
of wine in the air.
