Chapter 444
Jenny was trembling with anger. When she woke up, she discovered unexplained red spots on her
face. This not only disrupted her filming schedule but also left her confined to the hospital. To her
surprise, there were numerous people online criticizing
her!
Feeling down, Hugo suddenly called.
Jenny stared at the name flashing on the screen, feeling annoyed. But she answered the call anyway.
“Hey, Hughie. What’s the matter?”
Hugo’s voice sounded slightly anxious, but he concealed it well. “What’s going on with you? What arenovelbin
these online comments about?”
Thinking it was just her bad luck, Jenny replied with distress, “I don’t know either. I just found myself
like this when I woke up. And those online comments? They must be Pearl and her team’s work, trying
to discredit me!”
“Did it ever occur to you that Pearl might be behind your acne too?”
Jenny frowned. “I don’t think so. She should be in Enswood right now. Besides, does she even have
the means to pull off something like this?”
Hugo, familiar with Pearl’s shrewdness, smirked. “You know, Pearl isn’t as simple as you think. You
have no clue about her true identity.”
Jenny thought he was exaggerating Pearl’s abilities and didn’t look pleased. “So what? Even if Pearl
has extraordinary skills, she can’t mess with my face. I just talked to the doctor, and he said I’m allergic
to plants. It should be-‘
“What if I told you that Pearl is the apprentice of the renowned physician, Simon Freeman?”
Jenny’s expression turned instantly malicious. “I get it now. What should I do then?”
Hugo replied, “You shouldn’t make a fuss for now. Take this time to recover in the hospital. When the
time’s right, I’ll help you deal with it.”
Hearing this, Jenny’s tone softened instantly. “Thank you, Hughie. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know
what to do…”
Hugo smirked again. “In that case, why don’t you come and see me tonight?”
Jenny understood what he meant. His suggestion to meet was not for an ordinary meeting.
“You’re so naughty.” Jenny pretended to be shy, but she felt a wave of disgust in her heart. Once she
took care of that wretched Pearl and dumped Hugo, Richard would surely regret what he did!
Meanwhile, Pearl couldn’t help but burst into laughter while reading the comments.
Richard lounged on the couch, casually peeling an orange for Pearl. Noticing her happy expression, he
smiled and teased, What’s with the big smile? You look very pleased after dealing with Jenny.”
“Jenny brought this upon herself. Everyone is roasting her online. It’s hilarious.”
“Exactly, she’s just getting what she deserves. After stirring up all that trouble, it’s only fair she faces
some consequences.” Richard felt no sympathy for Jenny. Her actions had completely erased any
good impression he once had of her.
