Chapter 136
“Okay, stop messing around. Did you find the female celebrity I need?” Richard asked, his tone
businesslike.
Hanzel, after glancing at Pearl, nodded reluctantly. “I checked out the recently popular celebrities, but I
couldn’t find the kind of glamorous model you’re looking for.”
Clearly, they needed two types of women to portray an angel and a demon. Pearl, with her pure and
charming demeanor, could play the angel, while they needed a glamorous woman for the demon role.
“You didn’t find anyone? Then you can forget about being a star. I’ll have your company suspend your
contract, and you can return to work at the company,” Richard threatened, knowing well how to use his

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Hanzel pleaded, “Don’t, Rick. I told you it’s difficult to find
this kind of character because there are too few women of this type in the entertainment industry. Most
are just vulgarly sexy. There are hardly any women who possess an aloof and attractive aura.”
“It doesn’t mean there are none. I’ll give you one day to find someone, and if you fail, say goodbye to
your showbiz career,” Richard stated firmly, giving Hanzel one last chance.
Hearing that, Pearl offered a reassuring smile to Hanzel and pointed at a news article on the computer
screen, saying calmly, “I think she might be a good fit.”
The article featured a sweet, adorable, and pure young woman on the cover. She was a new rising star
named Esther Sanders.
“What does she have to do with being glamorous?” Hanzel asked, baffled, as Esther appeared purer
and cuter than Pearl.
Smiling, Pearl explained, “She’ll be the angel, and I’ll be the demon.”
“But you don’t look like a demon either,” Hanzel muttered.
Richard felt better seeing Pearl’s confidence because he trusted her judgment. Without wasting time,
he instructed someone to negotiate a collaboration with Esther.
Unexpectedly, Esther agreed to the proposal without much fuss.
The shooting was set for this Sunday at three o’clock in the afternoon.
Pearl arrived at the set early, driven by her curiosity. She had never met such a popular TV star before.
Esther arrived not long after Pearl got there. Contrary to her pure and cute image on television, Esther
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcame across as somewhat arrogant, behaving like a spoiled princess.
When she saw Pearl, she sized the latter up and asked, “You’re Pearl?”
Pearl nodded. “Yes, I’m Pearl.”
“I heard you have an engagement with the five Waldorf brothers, is that true?”
Esther, being around sixteen or seventeen years old, was a young female idol who had become a B-list
star due to her sweet and cute appearance. Clearly, she had quite a bit of confidence.
Pearl nodded once more. “Yes, everyone in Enswood knows that.”
. Esther, however, seemed puzzled by Pearl’s behavior. Pearl didn’t appear to be in awe of her at all.
This was unusual because Esther was used to being adored wherever she went. But Pearl looked calm
when she saw Esther-no, more than that, she seemed slightly curious and playful.
“So, which one of them is your favorite?” Esther asked with a sly smile.
Pearl instantly knew what Esther meant. It seemed Esther might have a crush on one of the Waldorf
brothers.
