Chapter 355


    “Pearl, I have nothing to do with her.” Richard gave Pearl a firmer hug to reassure her. Confident in his


    innocence, he had no reason to feel timid.


    After that, he turned and drove Jenny away. “You should leave, and don’t make me repeat myself.” The


    contrast in his attitude was clear.


    Pearl released her hold on Richard and took a seat on the sofa. “Isn’t this Jenny? I know her. Don’t


    send her away just yet since she’se all the way from afar. We should be hospitable to our guest.”


    Richard was aware that a potential storm was brewing, even though Pearl didn’t disy any immediate


    anger. He understood the reason behind it.


    Gracefully, Jenny approached Pearl and greeted her with a friendly smile. “Hello, I’m Jenny Sullivan.”


    She extended her hand, behaving like a noble youngdy.


    However, Pearl didn’t shake hands with Jenny and instead sneered, “Miss Jenny, you’re quite polite.


    Why were you acting so flirtatious with someone else’s boyfriend?”


    Undaunted, Jenny seemed hurt but continued, “Miss Pearl, I understand that you’re Rick’s girlfriend,


    but we’re just good friends. I’m sure you won’t be jealous of his friend, right?”


    Pearl couldn’t help but notice the contradiction in Jenny’s words. How could she justify holding her


    friend’s hand and swaying it coquettishly?


    Pearl didn’t want to expose Jenny, but she also couldn’t tolerate her behavior. So, she let out a


    sarcasticment, saying, “Today, you’re just his friend, but who knows what you’ll be tomorrow?


    It’s the kind of thing we see on TV all the time. Well, Miss Jenny, you sure know


    how to have fun.


    ”


    “Miss Pearl, I understand you’re upset, but how can you be Rick’s wife if you can’t ept my current


    friendship with him?” Jenny seemed to derive pleasure from Pearl’s irritation.


    She had been away for only a few years, and Richard was already involved with someone else. It was


    something she couldn’t ept. However, she couldn’t be as confrontational as Pearl. Her strategy was


    to use gentleness to win over Richard and make him see her as the most caring and considerate


    person.


    “I don’t want to hear her exnations, Richard. I want to hear yours,” Pearl said, casting a coquettish


    look in Richard’s direction.


    Richardpletely ignored Jenny, saying indifferently, “She and I aren’t even friends.”


    “Rick, am I really that unbearable?” Jenny asked through gritted teeth, her eyes welling up with tears.


    Richard remained silent, and his silence was an indirect confirmation of her words.

    This caused Jenny to break down, and she began crying, her shoulders trembling. “Rick, I can ept


    what she said, but don’t misunderstand me. We’ve been together for so long. You should know me the


    best-”


    “You abandoned our love for the sake of so-called prospects. That’s who you are,” Richard said coldly.


    He then walked over to Pearl, his icy expression reced by warmth as he smiled


    affectionately at her. “Are you tirei?”


    Jenny found this intolerable, as Richard was showing no interest in her. There was nothing she could


    do now except suffer in silence. She believed that she had to endure all these grievances to win


    Richard back


    “No, I’m not tired, but talking to this woman is exhausting.” Pearl yfully stuck out her tongue, looking


    adorable and genuine. She was clearly a stark contrast to Jenny’s


    pretentiousness.


    “Alright, let’s go grab a bite.” Richard did not even look at Jenny.


    “Where are you going to eat? It just so happens that Hugo wants to meet up. How about we…”


    Jenny looked eager, hoping they wouldn’t spend time alone with each other.
