Chapter 37


    Pearl had always followed the principle of giving others a lesson by using her fists but not


    her tongue.


    With her own cousin, she could still spare some effort to teach a lesson by moralizing. However, with outsiders, she didn’t even bother lifting a finger, fea


    hand.


    She was in a foul mood, and anyone who provoked her in this state shouldn’t expect politeness from her.


    The venue was filled with a cacophony of music and chatter, and initially, no one noticed themotion in the corner. However, this group of gossipyd


    seemingly never experienced this kind of thing, was utterly shocked by what they witnessed, and they couldn’t stop screaming.


    Thanks to them, Pearl, who had always kept a low profile, swiftly became the center of attention. All eyes were now on her, and people had gathered aro


    Thedy sshed with wine and hit in the head was the only one not screaming. She was nearly speechless but choked out. “Who are you?”


    Those invited to the banquet were wealthy or prominent, including at least a few B–list celebrities. Thisdy was just a B–


    list actress who had spent over a decade in the


    entertainment industry and had been making a name for herselftely. Therefore, she was adept at reading people.


    Although she was terrified, a quick nce at Pearl’s attire, the high–


    fashion gown, and the emerald pendant around her neck revealed that they were possessions she could only dream of having in a lifetime of acting. He


    “You don’t even recognize me yet dared to badmouth me behind my back. Now I wonder if your ignorance makes you fearless or just that you truly have


    Pearl showed some restraint this time as she smashed her ss against the woman’s head, causing ss shards to scatter, which might look scary but


    Pearl had always been lenient with women.


    The woman’s brain raced, and she suddenly blurted out. “You’re Miss Pearl, aren’t you?”


    As soon as she


    mentioned the name, the onlookers erupted in a chorus of whispers, their gaze shifting between the familiar name they’d heard countless times and the


    It turned out that she was Miss Pearl from the Woolery family.


    She appeared even more stunning than the legendary tales had described.


    The young actress was surrounded by a group of her friends. They were all lesser–


    known young actresses in the entertainment industry. Usually, they would get a chance to talk to Tina, which made them think they knew a lot about the


    The Woolery Group had once been a dominant force in Nanston. However, it declined in recent years, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Therefore, so


    A young inte celebrity, usually seen close to Tina, stepped forward and confronted Pearl. “Who do you think you are to hit her? This is an evening pa


    Though this young inte celebrity wasn’t tall, she seemed to have amanding


    presence.


    Her words prompted an immediate response from the group


    of sisters around her, all chiming in, “That’s right! Pouring wine on someone without a word? Miss Pearl, even if you’re from the Woolery


    family, how could you be so rude?”


    At that moment, it seemed like they were about to teach Pearl a lesson together.


    Marc and Lucas walked out backstage and


    immediately noticed what was happening. They heard the women behind them gossiping, so when Pearl went forward to hit that woman, they didn’t stop


    people, they decided to intervene.


    They prepared to step forward. However, at that time, Pearl didn’t even nce at those women, and she swiftly took two sses of


    wine from a waiter’s tray and sshed them directly at the chattering women. It seemed that she was determined to be “rude.”


    Pearl maintained herposure after drenching them in wine, staring coldly at them with an air of nobility and pride.


    It was a look that said, “I’ve just sshed you, and what are you going to do about it?”


    “What’s happening here? What’s going on?”


    Hubert and ine, socializing elsewhere, heard themotion and rushed over. Hubert parted the crowd to find Pearl in the center of the chaos. His he


    “Hubert,” the young inte celebrity called out to Hubert as if she had found some support in him while she was about to lean on him in tears.


    Hubert quickly stopped her, saying, “Oh, please, stay back. You’re all dirty.”


    The young inte celebrity wore a white dress that evening, but it was now sttered with wine, making her look quite terrifying, like she had


    been sshed with blood.


    She put on a pitiful look, pretending to be a victim, and pointed at Pearl,ining, “It’s all because of this woman. We were just chatting, and she cam


    Marc approached, took a hot towel from the small bamboo basket carried by a waiter, and handed it to Pearl, saying, “Your hands are dirty. Wipe them.“.


    Pearl’s hands were stained with the wine, feeling sticky. Faced with Marc’s offer of the hot towel, she didn’t hesitate and epted it. She carefully wiped


    As Marc handed her the hot towel and Pearl wiped her hands, the situation that had been


    tense and noisy a moment ago inexplicably fell silent for a few seconds.


    Not far away, Lucas took a sip of the wine, a faint smile ying on his lips. He watched Marc and Pearl, who seemed to have an astonishing tacit unders

    the inte celebrity, who had been causing trouble, were nearly pissed off by the interaction between Marc and Pearl.


    “Hubert,” the inte celebrity continued to pout and rant.


    Her pretentious voice frayed Hubert’s nerves, and he was gooseflesh all over.


    Pearl finished wiping her hands and nced at Hubert with a yful smile, “Hubert, when did you get yourself a girlfriend and not introduce her to me? If


    future wife, I would’ve been more courteous to he


    Hearing


    Pearl’s teasing words, Hubert froze for a moment. The mere pretentious voice of that inte celebrity was already enough to overwhelm him. When he


    “Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t even know her!”


    “Is that so?”


    Pearl replied with a cold smile. “I heard her affectionately calling you ‘Hubert‘ repeatedly and mentioning that she’d asked you to get me out of here.”


    She turned to ine, saying, “I’m sorry, ine, but I don’t want to spoil your party any further. I should leave now and make amends with the Law family


    Pearl had no intention of staying any longer and started to walk away, but ine stopped


    her.


    ine gave Hubert a hard kick and stared at him, asking, “What’s happening here?”


    Feeling unjustly used, Hubert said, “I really don’t know her!”


    That inte celebrity was so embarrassed and was about to approach


    Hubert again, but Hubert directly signaled the security guards to escort those women out of the venue. These women had the audacity to cause a distu


    The few young women sshed by the wine hadn’t realized what had just happened until they found themselves being kicked out of the hotel.


    Why were they being kicked out instead of Pearl?
