Chapter 814


    The warm water sshed on Celine''s body. Pearl apologized calmly, unfazed by the incident.


    "It hurts so much..." Celine grimaced, her face contorted in pain.


    Pearl cast a calm nce at Celine. "You know perfectly well if that water was hot or not."


    That statement made the pretentious Celine soften her expression.


    Meanwhile, Ss, seemingly oblivious to their exchange, grabbed a tissue and began drying


    Celine''s hand, asking if she was okay.


    "I''m fine. The water isn''t very hot. I screamed out of fright," Celine insisted, shooting a quick nce


    at Pearl, wary of her reaction.


    Pearl saw through Celine''s attempt to cast her as the viin. She leaned in with a smile. "So, you''re


    saying that the water is very hot, right?"


    Frightened, Celine withdrew her hand.

    Ss looked at Pearl in confusion. "You burned Celine''s hand. Can you stop making things difficult


    for her?"


    Pearl raised an eyebrow. "I said she knew if the water was hot or not." She then dipped her finger


    into the cup of water to demonstrate. After withdrawing it, she wiped it dry with a tissue.


    "This water isn''t hot," Pearl stated firmly, shocking them both with herposed actions.


    Celine was dumbfounded, realizing her n had backfired. She hurriedly made excuses, "I''m sure


    the remaining bit of water has turned cold."


    Ss, however, could tell from Celine''s hand that the water wasn''t hot. Though he didn''t respond to


    her exnation, he showed concern for Celine, partly to provoke Pearl.


    Celine turned livid when they ignored her. Besides, she had spent a lot of money to customize the


    ring on her finger. It was equipped with a video recording device...


    However, it had be useless. She hurriedly bade them goodbye and left.


    As soon as Celine left the room, Pearl looked contemptuously at Ss. "Did you think I wouldn''t


    catch on to your tricks?"


    Ss blinked, feeling aggrieved. "I didn''t mean it. You''ve always ignored me, so I tried to make you


    jealous."


    "And you fell for her tricks?" Pearl felt like poking his head to see what was on his mind.
