Female Novel
Chapter 766
The woman was left speechless. She knew that Pearl was referring to her but couldn't accept it."Miss Pearl, I didn't mean that. I was trying to say that I—"
Pearl walked over and pinched the woman's chin, scrutinizing her. "Well, you're a bit devious, andyour appearance isn't up to par."
The woman had been praised for her beauty since she was young, so Pearl's words infuriated her.But she couldn't argue with someone of Pearl's stature.
"Miss Pearl, you've misunderstood me," she stammered.
The others were baffled by what had just happened. They witnessed Pearl intimidating the woman,who seemed on the verge of tears. It appeared as though she might break down.
Moreover, they were already disgruntled because Pearl hadn't chosen them. This incident onlyfueled their criticism.
"This president is quite ruthless."
"I'm glad she didn't pick me. I couldn't bear working for someone like her."
"Stop it. If she hears you, she might punish you. Don't forget, she owns this film now."
"But can she really be this unreasonable?"
"Stop defending me. It's not good if you all get into trouble because of me," the woman pleaded,thinking that the group's collective power would make it hard for Pearl to retaliate. This way, itwouldn't be her fault.
Unfortunately, the result was beyond her expectations.
Pearl turned and glanced around, smiling. "Yeah, she's right. Keep on gossiping if you don't want toremain as extras. I guarantee you'll never find work in the entertainment industry again."
As the president of Cerubleu, she was a prominent figure in the entertainment world. She had nofear of a few extras spreading rumors about her. It would be absurd if such gossip got around.
The people who had initially tried to seek justice for the woman immediately averted their gazes andwalked away indifferently.
"You guys!" The woman glanced at them before looking at Pearl. She stomped her feet in shameand ran away.
Pearl then looked at Rosalie. "You should choose your friends wisely from now on."
"Understood, Miss Pearl." That incident had a profound impact on her. Indeed, making friends mightnot be suitable for her.
"Alright, it's getting late. Come to the company with me. I have something to discuss with you."
Rosalie nodded, and as she thought of something, she asked tentatively, "Miss Pearl, may I ask yousomething?"
"What is it?" Pearl seemed to have anticipated the question.
"I'm curious why you chose me out of so many people. I'm not the prettiest or the most talented."novelbin
"Well, I think you're the prettiest."
Rosalie was stunned. While some people had complimented her over the years, nobody had eversaid she was the prettiest. It caught her off guard.
"As for the second question, how can you be certain you're not the most talented if you haven'ttried?"
Rosalie was beginning to be persuaded. It seemed that Pearl always presented reasonablearguments. "Then, why did you choose me?"
Pearl smiled calmly and answered honestly, "I chose you because you remind me of someone verymuch. With a little makeover, you'll become famous easily."
