Chapter 742


    "What''s the matter? It''s just an act, not real. The main issue is that my grandpa is determined to


    meet my girlfriend. How am I supposed to find a girlfriend who will satisfy him at this point?" Ss


    exined, his eyes assessing Pearl from top to bottom, seemingly approving of her appearance. "I


    think you''re pretty good. Besides, my grandpa kind of likes you."


    "Why would your grandpa like me?" Pearl was puzzled.


    Ss struggled to hold back his smile as he replied, "Everyone in Enswood knows that the president


    of Cerubleu is a woman with both beauty and brains. I bet there''s a line of suitors wrapping around


    the city, eager to marry you."


    "Really now?" Pearl knew she had her share of admirers, but she didn''t think it was as exaggerated


    as he described.


    Unbeknownst to her, before she got together with Richard, Wayne had effectively discouraged her


    suitors. After her rtionship with Richard, no man dared to challenge his authority, further


    solidifying her belief that men didn''t particrly like her.


    "Of course. After I told my grandpa that I liked you, he was so happy that he insisted on meeting


    you," Ss replied, pouting slightly. "If you don''t help me this time, my grandpa will lock me up at


    home when I go back. Are you willing to let go of a cash cow like me?"

    Pearl sighed at Ss''s antics. His words seemed exaggerated, but there was some truth to them.


    Ss was incredibly popr in thepany, and his departure would be a significant loss.


    Taking a moment to weigh the pros and cons, Pearl finally relented, nodding. "Okay, I''ll help you


    out."


    Ss visibly rxed and reached out to tousle her hair yfully. "In that case, I''ll let you handle the


    PR and say that the girl in the photo was Celine."


    Pearl pped his hand away. "It''s not that easy. Even if I handle the PR, we need to make sure that


    Celine is willing to go along with it.


    Ss chuckled, recalling Celine''s behavior around him. As far as he knew, she practically wanted to


    be with him all the time. "Don''t worry, there''s no way she wouldn''t agree."


    "Alright, enough stalling. Let''s go to the office now." Pearl got into Ss''s car.


    Ss was pleased to see her finally willing to sit in his car. "Yes, ma''am!"


    With that resolved, Pearl and Ss hurried to the office. Celine, however, burst into the room, tears


    streaming down her face.


    Seeing Celine in tears, Ss felt annoyed deep down. He turned away, refusing to look at her.


    "What''s wrong? What happened?" Pearl asked, concerned.


    Celine sobbed as she exined, "Someonemented on my video, saying I''m meddling in


    someone else''s rtionship and intentionally trying to create a PR stunt with Ss. They''re calling


    me a homewrecker."


    Ss couldn''t help but think, "Well, isn''t that the truth?" He had grown tired of Celine''s constant


    presence and her attempts to get close to him.


    Celine became more upset. Deep down, she knew the woman in the photo was Pearl, her boss.


    Pearl also knew that the two of them were in a PR stunt, yet she chose to get so close to Ss,


    even getting photographed with him in an intimate way.


    She had never experienced such injustice. She had always portrayed herself as a pure and


    innocent girl in front of others, and now, she was being attacked. She had lost hundreds of


    thousands of followers, and herment section was filled with hateful words.


    "Don''t worry too much about this. I have a new n," Pearlforted Celine patiently.
