Chapter 466


    Ada started crying and tried to y the victim. “I’m so sorry, Miss Pearl. I wasn’t thinking straight. I just


    wanted everyone to help me search for the bracelet, and that’s why I said those things. I wanted people


    to pay attention to me, but I truly didn’t mean to lie.”


    Her lie was outrageous, and her exnation didn’t make her situation any better. If Pearl were to report


    this to her father, given his short temper, he might lock her up and prevent her from pursuing an acting


    career.


    “Why didn’t you just say that instead of trying to y mind games?” Pearl raised an eyebrow, ring at


    Ada. “Do you realize who you’re dealing with? I can dig out every detail about your family history.”


    Ada began to cry even harder, and the coldness in Pearl’s eyes made her afraid. “I… I…”


    “I might consider allowing you to remain a part of the cast,” Pearl said nonchntly, blowing on her


    nails.


    “Alright, I’ll confess. I was envious of your beauty and wealth, and the fact that you’re with Richard, so I


    resorted to such low tactics-cutting up your costume and stealing your clothes. I wanted you to feel


    humiliated… I’m sorry. I know it’s my fault, and I shouldn’t have done it.” Ada was indeed envious of


    Pearl. Thetter excelled in everything, even her luck, and anyone would feel jealous.


    “You knew what you were doing was wrong, but you did it out of jealousy, right?” Pearl questioned.


    Ada froze, unsure of how to respond.


    “Well, since you’re so envious, I’ll have the director arrange a scene where you’re incredibly jealous of


    me. How does that sound?” Pearl’s tone was ironic.


    Ada shook her head vigorously. “No, Miss Pearl. I won’t do this again!”


    “It’s great that you’ve seen the error of your ways,” Pearl said, smiling but with a harsh tone. ” Since


    you’ve apologized, you should write an apology of about… ten thousand words. Come back when


    you’re done.”


    Ada’s eyes went wide. Ten thousand words? That was pretty much telling her to leave and


    nevere back.

    Seeing the fear in Ada’s eyes, Pearl nodded cheerfully. “Alright, Miss Ada. I hope you stop causing


    problems. I’ve recorded everything you said just now, so if you ever make me ufortable again, I’ll


    send this to your father and see how he deals with it.” She waved her phone and smiled cheekily.


    Ada turned pale. “My dad…”


    “Yes, your dad,” Pearl confirmed. “Don’t even think he’ll take your side. It’s a choice between teaching


    his daughter a lesson or losing the contract with Cerubleu. Any smart person wouldn’t choose the


    second option.”


    she then walked over to the director and smiled. “Shall we continue with the shoot? Dying this any


    further will mess up my sleep cycle.”


    The director paused, then nodded. “Alright, let’s proceed.” He nced at Ada and added, Ada, Miss


    Pearl was offering you advice for your own benefit. If you still wish to continue acting, I will consider


    rehiring you in the future.”


    After all, Ada was just a side character. It was better to offend her than Pearl.


    Ada couldn’t hold back her tears and ran away crying.

    On their way to the set of “The Melody of the West,” Eric couldn’t stop talking. He was curious about


    Pearl’s decision.


    “Pearl, she apologized, so why did you still send her away?”
