Chapter 498


    Moreover… the director couldn’t help but recall how Jenny had felt so delightful in his armsst night.


    The memory had him practically drooling at the thought.


    Jenny had been quite clear that she would spend another night with him if he assisted in sabotaging


    Esther’s role. The idea of such an attractive woman willingly spending time with him excited him


    greatly.


    “So, promises mean nothing to you. That’s truly disappointing.” Pearl contemted trying to reason


    with him but quickly realized this wasn’t someone open to reason, so she abandoned the notion.


    “Alright, since you’ve made your decision, we won’t trouble you any further. I hope you won’t regret this


    in the future.” With that, Pearl promptly ended the call.


    Once he noticed the call had been disconnected, the director muttered to himself, “Pfft, this b* tch. How


    dare she disrespect me? I’m doing her a favor by allowing Esther to be in this drama in the first ce!”

    “I really liked the script. It’s a shame it had toe to this,” Esther sighed, genuinely feeling


    disappointed. This role was the perfect opportunity for her transition. If she seeded, it could help her


    shed many unwarranted criticisms.


    “Do you still want to be in the drama?” Pearl looked at Esther’s disappointment and felt somewhat


    uneasy herself.


    “It’s alright. Even if I can’t, it’s not a big deal. Besides, we can always find better roles,” Esther replied,


    not wanting to trouble Pearl. She would suppress her desires, as she wouldn’t forgive herself if Pearl


    had to plead with that insensitive director on her behalf.


    Esther was trying tofort herself, but Pearl had other ns in mind.


    “If you really want to be in the drama, I have an idea,” she said with a mysterious smile.


    “Really? Can I still be a part of it?” Esther’s heart leaped with hope.


    “Yes, if the gentle approach doesn’t work, we’ll try the tough approach.”


    Esther couldn’t help but worry. “You’re not nning to give him a beating, are you? That’s a no-go.


    Even if you could win, you can’t do that. What if he retaliates…”


    “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything stupid.”


    Yeah, right!


    Pearl already had a brilliant idea in mind.


    “Alright.” Esther was initially relieved but became anxious when she noticed the glint in Pearl’s eyes.


    Despite feeling reassured at first, she suddenly felt anxious.

    Pearl had been very cautious with what she had done before. She probably wouldn’t do anything


    extreme this time.


    Before leaving, Pearl made it clear to Clem that Esther shouldn’t take any acting roles for the


    time being. She suggested that variety shows andmercials were eptable, but acting jobs were


    off-limits.


    Clem was puzzled. This was a critical period for Esther’s career. Opting for only variety shows and


    Pearl wouldn’t make such a mistake, would she? But it was an order from her, so he couldn’t disobey.


    After Pearl left thepany, she called Feather and instructed, “Fifi, gather a few people  ?tonight. We


    have something to do.”


    After ending the call, Pearl smirked to herself.


    Let’s wait and see!
