Chapter 730
After Silas left to prepare, Pearl made a phone call.
"Feather, any updates on the investigation into my mom?"
"Aunt Beah is really good at hiding. I've searched all over the country, but there's been no sign ofher."
Pearl felt uneasy; she sensed it was more complicated than it seemed. After a moment of thought,she suggested, "If you couldn't find her on land, have you considered searching at sea?"
Feather immediately understood. "Alright, I'll start looking into maritime records."novelbin
After hanging up, Pearl calmed herself down and got ready to introduce Silas to Celine.
Celine was a beautiful and intelligent woman who often seemed like a fairy, and Pearl loved thatabout her.
When Silas got a look at Celine, he scoffed, "That's it?"
Celine extended her delicate hand to shake his, but his comment left her momentarily speechless.
"He's always had his way, please forgive him, Celine." Pearl glared at Silas, who scratched his headand didn't look like he cared.
"It's just an observation. She looks rather ordinary," Silas remarked.
Celine, who had always been adored by thousands of fans and considered a princess, had her eyeswell up with tears when she heard his words.
"How could you say that, Silas?" Pearl looked annoyed. Silas was usually mild-mannered, so whywas he being so harsh today?
"Am I not allowed to speak the truth?" Silas retorted, his gaze traveling over Celine from head to toebefore shaking his head. "I'm sorry, Miss Celine. If my words upset you, I hope you can forgive me.I'm just being honest."
While his words seemed apologetic, they sounded like he was still attacking her. Celine's eyesteared up further, her voice filled with sadness. "I don't think I can work with him, Miss Pearl."
She had seen Silas's streams before and had found him handsome with a friendly personality andexcellent gaming skills. What's more, she had heard he came from a good family.
Celine was just an ordinary girl, apart from her looks. It had been easy to develop a crush onsomeone like him. However, seeing him act this way had extinguished the positive feelings sheonce had.
"Whatever. Since Celine herself said she doesn't want to work with me, we should just cancel this."
Celine's tears finally fell, as if she was the one who was in the wrong.
"Calm down, Celine. Let me talk to him," Pearl said, then grabbed Silas by the ear and pulled himout of the room.
"What are you doing?" Pearl crossed her arms, irritation evident in her posture.
"I told you I don't want to work with any woman other than you," Silas replied, rubbing his reddenedears. "Why are you forcing me to work with her? You have so many male influencers in thecompany, why does it have to be me?"
"Celine is the second most popular influencer after you. If you collaborate, our viewership willskyrocket," Pearl explained.
Silas pouted. "I don't care about that."
"You don't care, but I do. If you won't collaborate, then resign."
That was her last straw!
