“Pearl, I have nothing to do with her.” Richard gave Pearl a firmer hug to reassure her. Confident in his
innocence, he had no reason to feel timid.
After that, he turned and drove Jenny away. “You should leave, and don’t make me repeat myself.” The
contrast in his attitude was clear.
Pearl released her hold on Richard and took a seat on the sofa. “Isn’t this Jenny? I know her. Don’t
send her away just yet since she’s come all the way from afar. We should be hospitable to our guest.”
Richard was aware that a potential storm was brewing, even though Pearl didn’t display any immediate
anger. He understood the reason behind it.
Gracefully, Jenny approached Pearl and greeted her with a friendly smile. “Hello, I’m Jenny Sullivan.”
She extended her hand, behaving like a noble young lady.

Why were you acting so flirtatious with someone else’s boyfriend?”
Undaunted, Jenny seemed hurt but continued, “Miss Pearl, I understand that you’re Rick’s girlfriend,
but we’re just good friends. I’m sure you won’t be jealous of his friend, right?”
Pearl couldn’t help but notice the contradiction in Jenny’s words. How could she justify holding her
friend’s hand and swaying it coquettishly?
Pearl didn’t want to expose Jenny, but she also couldn’t tolerate her behavior. So, she let out a
sarcastic comment, saying, “Today, you’re just his friend, but who knows what you’ll become tomorrow?
It’s the kind of thing we see on TV all the time. Well, Miss Jenny, you sure know
how to have fun.
”
“Miss Pearl, I understand you’re upset, but how can you be Rick’s wife if you can’t accept my current
friendship with him?” Jenny seemed to derive pleasure from Pearl’s irritation.
She had been away for only a few years, and Richard was already involved with someone else. It was
something she couldn’t accept. However, she couldn’t be as confrontational as Pearl. Her strategy was
to use gentleness to win over Richard and make him see her as the most caring and considerate
person.
“I don’t want to hear her explanations, Richard. I want to hear yours,” Pearl said, casting a coquettish
look in Richard’s direction.
Richard completely ignored Jenny, saying indifferently, “She and I aren’t even friends.”
“Rick, am I really that unbearable?” Jenny asked through gritted teeth, her eyes welling up with tears.
Richard remained silent, and his silence was an indirect confirmation of her words.
This caused Jenny to break down, and she began crying, her shoulders trembling. “Rick, I can accept

“You abandoned our love for the sake of so-called prospects. That’s who you are,” Richard said coldly.
He then walked over to Pearl, his icy expression replaced by warmth as he smiled
affectionately at her. “Are you tirei?”
Jenny found this intolerable, as Richard was showing no interest in her. There was nothing she could
do now except suffer in silence. She believed that she had to endure all these grievances to win
Richard back
“No, I’m not tired, but talking to this woman is exhausting.” Pearl playfully stuck out her tongue, looking
adorable and genuine. She was clearly a stark contrast to Jenny’s
pretentiousness.
“Alright, let’s go grab a bite.” Richard did not even look at Jenny.
“Where are you going to eat? It just so happens that Hugo wants to meet up. How about we…”
Jenny looked eager, hoping they wouldn’t spend time alone with each other.
