Clem discreetly touched his nose and pretended he didn’t hear anything.
Pearl, concerned about Hanzel’s reaction, whispered to him, “Esther was just…

Although Pearl didn’t explicitly say “complaining,” Hanzel smiled and said, “I understand.”
Pearl paused, then smiled too.
After they disembarked from the plane, they checked into the hotel near their shooting location. Since
the hotel often hosted celebrities, no one paid much attention to them, and they were assigned four
rooms.
Esther wanted to share a room with Pearl, so they ended up with three rooms. Esther, holding onto
Pearl’s arm, walked into their room.
Teasing her, Pearl asked, “Why do you want to share a room with me?”
Esther playfully replied, “Just because. When I went to the bathroom, I overheard someone say Jenny
is staying here too. I’m going to teach her a lesson if she bullies you.” She then shook her fist and
bared her teeth, clearly jesting.
Pearl couldn’t help but laugh at Esther’s playful nature.
That evening, Pearl and Esther went downstairs to the hotel’s dining area for dinner. It was evident that
Pearl was quite hungry from the way she ate.
Suddenly, someone at a nearby table scoffed, “Only a country bumpkin would eat like that.”
Pearl looked up and saw Jenny staring at them with annoyance, which irritated her. Jenny seemed to
be everywhere.
Pearl retorted, “Wasn’t expecting to bump into you here. Your voice gets pretty loud when Richard isn’t
around.” Jenny’s face flushed with anger, but when she thought about Richard, her arrogance
resurfaced. “Do you know who’s the investor for the first series I’m acting in after coming back? It’s
Richard! I know you love Richard, but you should know that I was the woman he loved the most before
you. Even Mister Dustan wants him to marry me as soon as possible.”
“If Richard and Mister Dustan love you so much, why don’t they let you live with them?” Pearl calmly
picked up a slice of fresh toast.
Jenny had always been sensitive about this topic, and her smile began to fade. “I’m not comparing
myself to you. You lived with them even before you were married. That’s why you were dumped.”
Esther couldn’t stand it, and she jumped up, shouting, “What are you talking about? Everyone knows
Uncle Dustan loves Pearl. Who are you to give commentaries here? You’re just an ex who’s acting
proud. People might think you’re the side chick who got pregnant!”
Pearl was surprised by Esther’s sharp tongue. Her smile turned into a smirk as she sipped her tea.
“Miss Jenny, if you don’t want to be shamed in front of a crowd, I suggest you keep your voice down.”
Jenny suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at her oddly, especially those who were aware of
the situation between the three of them. When they heard the term ‘side chick,’ they realized what
Esther was insinuating. novelbin
Jenny flushed and lowered her voice as she issued a warning to Pearl, “I’ll remember this, Pearl. I’m
not going to let you get away with this!” She then glanced around and left angrily.
Although she managed to drive Jenny away, Esther wasn’t content. Seeing Pearl lost in thought, she
tried to console her. Don’t mind her. Just think of what she said as farting noises.”
