Chapter 516


    Esther was brimming with excitement as she practically dragged Pearl to a wedding gown store, their


    first destination. With their engagement approaching, trying on engagement gowns made serise, saving


    them valuable time.


    Esther quickly spotted a gown she adored–a long, white dress with an elegant train. It garnered plenty


    of admiring remarks from her. “Wow, this gown is absolutely stunning. I love it, Pearl. Can you hold my


    bag? I’m going to try it on right now!”


    Beaming, Pearl nodded and reached for the gown. However, her hand was harshly smacked away,


    causing her quite a bit of pain. She withdrew her hand, only to find that someone had snatched the


    gown.


    Pearl nced over to see Jenny, whom she hadn’t encountered in quite some time.


    Pearl was well aware that Jenny had been sidelined from her career–it wasmon knowledge. When


    she noticed the exhaustion on Jenny’s face, which makeup couldn’tpletely conceal, she couldn’t


    help but mock her. “Hey, Miss Jenny. What’s going on with you? Are you trying to make trouble for


    others just because things aren’t going well in your career and love life?”


    Jenny’s expression changed as Pearl touched a sore spot. “What nonsense are you talking about? You


    didn’t buy this gown, and everyone has an equal right to it. Do you not understand that? Why use


    me of causing trouble?”


    Pearl was surprised by Jenny’s newfound eloquence.


    “We were the first to choose this gown. Don’t you know the concept of ‘firste, first served ‘?”


    Esther was fuming and had half a mind to punch Jenny’s annoying face. She thought Jenny was just a


    washed–up has–been with no right to act high and mighty.


    Jenny scoffed. “Well, I’ve got the gown now, and there’s no one else here. Your words hold no weight.”


    “How dare you!”


    Pearl tried to calm Esther down. With a smile, she suggested, “You’re absolutely right. Without any


    concrete evidence, we can’t dispute this apart from the store’s surveince system.”


    “So, what if there’s a surveince system? It’s mine since I have it now.”


    At that moment, the sleepy shop assistant woke up and was rmed by themotion. She wondered


    what had unfolded before her eyes.


    Pearl snorted. “Fine, let’s settle this by offering a higher price. Let’s see who’s willing to pay more for


    the gown.”


    Naturally, Jenny was reluctant, well aware that she would be outmatched. Even when she was a top


    celebrity, her wealth paled inparison to Pearl’s. Of course, the entertainment industry couldn’t


    match the business world in terms of ie.


    “No, I disagree, since you definitely earn more than me.” It would be foolish for her to ept Pearl’s


    challenge.

    “In that case, how about wepete in something else? Why not test our understanding of fashion


    design?” Pearl proposed.


    Jenny felt suspicious, not entirely sure what Pearl had in mind. However, she had attended numerous


    fashion events and endorsed numerous high–end brands, feeling confident in her ability to outdo Pearl


    in this regard.


    Besides, she knew Pearl had studied jewelry design abroad, seemingly unrted to fashion design.

    Therefore, she thought she had a strong chance of winning.


    “Okay, let’s do that.”


    Pearl let Jenny speak first.


    Jenny’s eyes sparkled, realizing that being the first to speak would give her an advantage and allow her


    to set the tone. “This gown exudes a gentle aura akin to moonlight, with pearl ents around the chest


    area, adding to its overall gentleness. It’s most suitable for someone of a gentle disposition.”


    She implied that Esther, who was known to have a fiery temper, was ill–suited for such a delicate


    gown.


    “Oh? I beg to differ.” Pearl smiled as she stepped forward. “I have a different perspective.”
