Chapter 377


    Clem discreetly touched his nose and pretended he didn’t hear anything.


    Pearl, concerned about Hanzel’s reaction, whispered to him, “Esther was just…

    Although Pearl didn’t explicitly say ining,” Hanzel smiled and said, “I understand.”


    Pearl paused, then smiled too.


    After they disembarked from the ne, they checked into the hotel near their shooting location. Since


    the hotel often hosted celebrities, no one paid much attention to them, and they were assigned four


    rooms.


    Esther wanted to share a room with Pearl, so they ended up with three rooms. Esther, holding onto


    Pearl’s arm, walked into their room.


    Teasing her, Pearl asked, “Why do you want to share a room with me?”


    Esther yfully replied, “Just because. When I went to the bathroom, I overheard someone say Jenny


    is staying here too. I’m going to teach her a lesson if she bullies you.” She then shook her fist and


    bared her teeth, clearly jesting.


    Pearl couldn’t help butugh at Esther’s yful nature.


    That evening, Pearl and Esther went downstairs to the hotel’s dining area for dinner. It was evident that


    Pearl was quite hungry from the way she ate.


    Suddenly, someone at a nearby table scoffed, “Only a country bumpkin would eat like that.”


    Pearl looked up and saw Jenny staring at them with annoyance, which irritated her. Jenny seemed to


    be everywhere.

    Pearl retorted, “Wasn’t expecting to bump into you here. Your voice gets pretty loud when Richard isn’t


    around.” Jenny’s face flushed with anger, but when she thought about Richard, her arrogance


    resurfaced. “Do you know who’s the investor for the first series I’m acting in aftering back? It’s


    Richard! I know you love Richard, but you should know that I was the woman he loved the most before


    you. Even Mister Dustan wants him to marry me as soon as possible.”


    “If Richard and Mister Dustan love you so much, why don’t they let you live with them?” Pearl calmly


    picked up a slice of fresh toast.


    Jenny had always been sensitive about this topic, and her smile began to fade. “I’m notparing


    myself to you. You lived with them even before you were married. That’s why you were dumped.”


    Esther couldn’t stand it, and she jumped up, shouting, “What are you talking about? Everyone knows


    Uncle Dustan loves Pearl. Who are you to givementaries here? You’re just an ex who’s acting


    proud. People might think you’re the side chick who got pregnant!”


    Pearl was surprised by Esther’s sharp tongue. Her smile turned into a smirk as she sipped her tea.


    “Miss Jenny, if you don’t want to be shamed in front of a crowd, I suggest you keep your voice down.”


    Jenny suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at her oddly, especially those who were aware of


    the situation between the three of them. When they heard the term ‘side chick,’ they realized what


    Esther was insinuating.


    Jenny flushed and lowered her voice as she issued a warning to Pearl, “I’ll remember this, Pearl. I’m


    not going to let you get away with this!” She then nced around and left angrily.


    Although she managed to drive Jenny away, Esther wasn’t content. Seeing Pearl lost in thought, she


    tried to console her. Don’t mind her. Just think of what she said as farting noises.”
