Chapter 730


    After Ss left to prepare, Pearl made a phone call.


    "Feather, any updates on the investigation into my mom?"


    "Aunt Beah is really good at hiding. I''ve searched all over the country, but there''s been no sign of


    her."


    Pearl felt uneasy; she sensed it was moreplicated than it seemed. After a moment of thought,


    she suggested, "If you couldn''t find her onnd, have you considered searching at sea?"

    Feather immediately understood. "Alright, I''ll start looking into maritime records."


    After hanging up, Pearl calmed herself down and got ready to introduce Ss to Celine.


    Celine was a beautiful and intelligent woman who often seemed like a fairy, and Pearl loved that


    about her.


    When Ss got a look at Celine, he scoffed, "That''s it?"


    Celine extended her delicate hand to shake his, but hisment left her momentarily speechless.


    "He''s always had his way, please forgive him, Celine." Pearl red at Ss, who scratched his head


    and didn''t look like he cared.


    "It''s just an observation. She looks rather ordinary," Ss remarked.


    Celine, who had always been adored by thousands of fans and considered a princess, had her eyes


    well up with tears when she heard his words.


    "How could you say that, Ss?" Pearl looked annoyed. Ss was usually mild-mannered, so why


    was he being so harsh today?


    "Am I not allowed to speak the truth?" Ss retorted, his gaze traveling over Celine from head to toe


    before shaking his head. "I''m sorry, Miss Celine. If my words upset you, I hope you can forgive me.


    I''m just being honest."


    While his words seemed apologetic, they sounded like he was still attacking her. Celine''s eyes


    teared up further, her voice filled with sadness. "I don''t think I can work with him, Miss Pearl."


    She had seen Ss''s streams before and had found him handsome with a friendly personality and


    excellent gaming skills. What''s more, she had heard he came from a good family.


    Celine was just an ordinary girl, apart from her looks. It had been easy to develop a crush on


    someone like him. However, seeing him act this way had extinguished the positive feelings she


    once had.


    "Whatever. Since Celine herself said she doesn''t want to work with me, we should just cancel this."


    Celine''s tears finally fell, as if she was the one who was in the wrong.


    "Calm down, Celine. Let me talk to him," Pearl said, then grabbed Ss by the ear and pulled him


    out of the room.


    "What are you doing?" Pearl crossed her arms, irritation evident in her posture.


    "I told you I don''t want to work with any woman other than you," Ss replied, rubbing his reddened


    ears. "Why are you forcing me to work with her? You have so many male influencers in the


    company, why does it have to be me?"


    "Celine is the second most popr influencer after you. If you coborate, our viewership will


    skyrocket," Pearl exined.


    Ss pouted. "I don''t care about that."


    "You don''t care, but I do. If you won''t coborate, then resign."


    That was herst straw!
