Chapter 791


    [What''s with all themotion? Pearl''s the smart one here. She hasn''t spent a penny on the ad,


    and she''s already made a whopping 41 million dors. Do you think she''s dumb?]


    With a toothbrush in hand, Pearl casually scrolled through thements, nodding in satisfaction.


    She didn''t mind the chaos in thements. The more lively it became, the more attention the ad


    would get, which would help boost sales.


    After a quick shower, she applied some makeup and changed, getting ready to meet two people


    she didn''t really want to see.


    Earlier that morning, Hugo had messaged her about discussing a coboration. Hugo was a smart


    guy, and Pearl had always found excuses to avoid meeting him. This time, however, she couldn''t


    come up with any excuses and had to meet him willingly.


    Not only that, but she also had to meet Richard. With the three of them meeting, who knew what


    awkward situations might arise?


    The more she thought about it, the more awkward it seemed. She decided to stop thinking about it


    altogether.


    Pearl put on some bright and fabulous lipstick, hoping it would make her appear more confident.


    She then drove to the cafe where they had agreed to meet.


    As she arrived, she saw two people standing very close to each other.


    Hugo hadn''t arrived yet. Only Richard was there, and he had brought Winona with him. They were


    being very affectionate with each other and didn''t seem to be embarrassed even in public.


    Pearl adjusted her sunsses and walked past them. They seemed to have eyes only for each


    other and probably didn''t even notice her.


    Just a few steps away, Pearl was stopped by a flirtatious voice from behind.


    "Hey, Pearl. How can you not say hi when we meet?" Winona, with one arm around Richard, smiled


    boldly at her, a smile that made Pearl ufortable.


    Pearl couldn''t help but frown and replied with a polite smile, "My bad. You two were so cozy. I


    thought some crazy couple was going wild here."


    When Winona heard the first part of the sentence, she thought Pearl was jealous. She was about to


    assert dominance, but the word ''crazy'' changed her expressionpletely. "What''s that supposed


    to mean?"


    "What do I mean? Isn''t it obvious?" Pearl replied. "I don''t think it''s that hard to understand. Did you


    struggle in English ss, Miss Jesselton?" Her words were full of sarcasm.


    Winona hadn''t forgotten the time when Pearl pped her for no reason. She had hoped to get along


    with her in front of Richard, but Pearl''s disrespect caught her off guard. She tried to make amends,


    but Pearl brushed it off.


    "Miss Pearl, isn''t your way of speaking a bit harsh? I had no issue with you. How could you say


    something to embarrass me like that?" Winona said, sounding frustrated and with tears gleaming in


    her eyes, making her look pitiful as if she expected others to feel sorry for her.


    Richard''s expression turned cold in an instant. "Miss Pearl, mind your words, please."


    Pearl removed her sunsses, and the icy re in her eyes matched his. "I can speak for myself


    and say what I want. I don''t need anyone to tell me what to do."


    After saying that, she nced at Winona beside him, who still kept her eyes lowered as if she had


    been deeply hurt. "If Miss Jesselton can''t handle this, she can cancel the deal. After all, the money


    hasn''t been received yet, and there''s still time to back out."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Winona had initiallye here to annoy Pearl. How could she give up halfway? She wiped her


    tears and said, "Alright, I won''t dwell on this with Miss Pearl."


    "Hey, are we having a tea party today? I could smell the drama brewing from a mile away before


    even stepping in."


    Hugo suddenly appeared, and his first sentence changed everyone''s expressions except Pearl''s.
