The warm water splashed on Celine's body. Pearl apologized calmly, unfazed by the incident.novelbin
"It hurts so much..." Celine grimaced, her face contorted in pain.
Pearl cast a calm glance at Celine. "You know perfectly well if that water was hot or not."
That statement made the pretentious Celine soften her expression.
Meanwhile, Silas, seemingly oblivious to their exchange, grabbed a tissue and began dryingCeline's hand, asking if she was okay.
"I'm fine. The water isn't very hot. I screamed out of fright," Celine insisted, shooting a quick glanceat Pearl, wary of her reaction.
Pearl saw through Celine's attempt to cast her as the villain. She leaned in with a smile. "So, you'resaying that the water is very hot, right?"
Frightened, Celine withdrew her hand.
Silas looked at Pearl in confusion. "You burned Celine's hand. Can you stop making things difficultfor her?"
Pearl raised an eyebrow. "I said she knew if the water was hot or not." She then dipped her fingerinto the cup of water to demonstrate. After withdrawing it, she wiped it dry with a tissue.
"This water isn't hot," Pearl stated firmly, shocking them both with her composed actions.
Celine was dumbfounded, realizing her plan had backfired. She hurriedly made excuses, "I'm surethe remaining bit of water has turned cold."
Silas, however, could tell from Celine's hand that the water wasn't hot. Though he didn't respond toher explanation, he showed concern for Celine, partly to provoke Pearl.
Celine turned livid when they ignored her. Besides, she had spent a lot of money to customize thering on her finger. It was equipped with a video recording device...
However, it had become useless. She hurriedly bade them goodbye and left.
As soon as Celine left the room, Pearl looked contemptuously at Silas. "Did you think I wouldn'tcatch on to your tricks?"
Silas blinked, feeling aggrieved. "I didn't mean it. You've always ignored me, so I tried to make youjealous."
"And you fell for her tricks?" Pearl felt like poking his head to see what was on his mind.
