Chapter 815


    Confused, Ss tilted his head. "What are you talking about? I don''t understand."


    Pearl sighed, realizing she needed to spell it out for him. "Celine was wearing a ring with a hidden


    camera. She might have wanted to record your time together. And yes, I sshed water on her


    hand to ruin that n. You didn''t catch on to her scheme?"


    Enlightened, Ss said, "So, you did it to stop her from recording us?"


    "You catch on quick," Pearl remarked with a snort.


    "Did she want to make us look like a couple while we''re trending?" Ss grimaced, feeling repulsed


    by the idea that Celine might have wanted to manipte their image for social media.


    He hurriedly wiped his hand with tissue paper, wanting to rid himself of any trace of contact with


    Celine.


    "Be more careful next time. Celine isn''t as naive as she appears," Pearl warned, her tone serious.


    Ss reluctantly agreed, feeling chastised by the experience. Then, a thought urred to him. "Will


    she work for anotherpany instead?"

    Pearl''s expression darkened. She hadn''t considered that possibility. If Celine left, there was a


    chance she might end up at Hugo''spany.


    She didn''t care if Celine would resign or not. She was merely concerned about Hugo''s ulterior


    motives and might make a move again.


    "What''s on your mind?" Ss asked.


    Pearl rolled her eyes at him. "Kids shouldn''t be busybodies."


    After chatting briefly with Ss, Pearl left.


    Then, an unexpected visitor arrived.


    Ss was taken aback to see Richard, Pearl''s enigmatic ex-boyfriend, standing in his hospital room.


    "I don''t believe we''ve met, Mister Richard. Are you here to see me?" Ss greeted him cautiously.


    Aware of Richard''s history with Pearl, he wasn''t inclined to be friendly.


    Richard looked at Ss calmly. "I''m just here to advise you not to get involved with her."


    Ss didn''t have to guess that he was talking about Pearl. "And why should I listen to you?" He


    laughed, finding his behavior strange. "You''re her ex, with no current ties to her. Whye and


    challenge me? Who do you think you are, huh?"


    Richard remainedposed while fixing his wristwatch. "You''re young, and I''m warning you out of


    respect for Mister Elijah. But know this: Pearl is not someone you can pursue."


    Undeterred, Ss stood up to face Richard, who was as tall as him. "Well, I happen to fancy her."


    Their confrontation was tense, their eyes locked in a silent battle.


    "Then be prepared to face the consequences." Richard maintained his cool demeanor.
