Chapter 486


    At the hotel entrance, Pearl cursed under her breath when she stepped out of her car and spotted


    Jenny wearing a smile.


    As they said, enemies often cross paths.


    “Wait a minute, Pearl? Is your crew having a farewell party here today? What a coincidence!”


    Although Jenny’s words appeared polite, Pearl detected an underlying tone of provocation, especially


    in the way she said, “Wait a minute…”. It was evident that Jenny hadn’t reached her breaking point


    yet.


    “Yeah, let me see if your face has healed, Jenny. It was quite swollen and scary before, but there seem


    to be some scars now,” Pearl remarked casually while examining Jenny’s face.


    Jenny panicked at the mention of scars on her face. She quickly retrieved a small mirror from her purse


    and checked herplexion. Finding no ws, she breathed a sigh of relief.


    Pearl found the situation hrious and couldn’t hide herughter, “Alright. Stop checking yourself in the


    mirror. There’s a restroom to your right once you’re inside. Bye.”


    “How dare you-” Jenny shot Pearl a vicious re but then spotted Richard approaching. She restrained


    the harsh words on the tip of her tongue and said, “I know you don’t like me, but you shouldn’t speak to


    me in such a tone. Your words are rather unpleasant. If others hear this, they might think you’re


    bullying me.”


    Jenny truly lived up to her reputation as a top actress. When she shed tears, it was


    convincingly heart-wrenching and could tug at anyone’s heartstrings.


    “Who’s the bully here? You’re the one who started it. Do you want me to list all the things you’ve done?”


    Esther retorted.


    Birds of a feather flock together, as they say. Esther, born into a wealthy family, was ustomed to


    being straightforward. Though her words mighte across as harsh, she was merely standing up for


    what was right.


    Pearl couldn’t help but chuckle as she observed the feisty little firecracker beside her.


    “I know you like Pearl, Rick. But you shouldn’t let her bully others like this.” Jenny no longer expected


    Richard to take her side. She just wished he would be fair and not let the group gang up on her.


    “I don’t mind.” Richard would stand by Pearl’s side even if he didn’t know who Jenny was. Moreover, he


    was well aware of Jenny’s cunning nature.


    “Did you hear that? Even your old me, Eric, wants nothing to do with you. Not to mention Richard,


    who has disliked you for a long time. Youpete with Pea in everything. Aren’t you afraid of falling


    into a pit someday?”


    Esther had been hanging out with Mobius for a long time and had developed a fiery temper. Now, she

    had a spunky charm that made her a delight to be around.


    Pearl appreciated Esther’s straightforwardness regardless.


    “Alright now, Miss Jenny. Este has a way with words. If she said something that hurt your feelings, it


    might cause more trouble than it’s worth,” Pearlmented, ncing at Jenny,


    whose face had turned red with anger. It was the first time she hadn’t said much, and witnessing her


    visibly agitated brought an unexpected satisfaction.


    “Why you!” Jenny realized she was outnumbered and temporarily suppressed her tears. She chose to


    leave for the time being, but the resentment she felt toward Richard’s indifference and Esther’s


    unyielding stance simmered within her.


    One day, she would shut Esther up for good!
