Pearl saw through Celine's attempt to cast her as the villain. She leaned in with a smile. "So, you're saying that the water is very hot, right?"

Silas looked at Pearl in confusion. "You burned Celine's hand. Can you stop making things difficult for her?"

Pearl raised an eyebrow. "| said she knew if the water was hot or not." She then dipped her finger into the cup of water to demonstrate. After

withdrawing it, she wiped it dry with a tissue.

"This water isn't hot," Pearl stated firmly, shocking them both with her composed actions.

Celine was dumbfounded, realizing her plan had backfired. She hurriedly made excuses, "I'm sure the remaining bit of water has turned cold."

Silas, however, could tell from Celine's hand that the water wasn't hot. Though he didn't respond to her explanation, he showed concern for Celine,

As soon as Celine left the room, Pearl looked contemptuously at Silas. "Did you think | wouldn't catch on to your tricks?"

Silas blinked, feeling aggrieved. "I didn't mean it. You've always ignored me, so | tried to make you jealous."

"And you fell for her tricks?" Pearl felt like poking his head to see what was on his mind.
