Chapter 362
When the surrounding people saw Jenny’s tears, their hearts softened.
“Why don’t we just stop malding a fuss about this? She meant well, and she couldn’t have known it was
fake.”
“Yeah, Jenny isn’t that kind of person. I trust her.”
Jenny felt a sense of relief as those around her empathized with her tears, so she continued to cry,
hoping to gain even more
sympathy
Pearl stepped forward and attempted to comfort Jenny. “Come on, Miss Jenny, please stop crying.
People might think I’m bullying you!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJenny sniffed. “Pearl, I know you hate me, but there’s no need to be so harsh.”
Pearl burst into laughter. “I’m harsh? Miss Jenny, shouldn’t you have had the item appraised for
authenticity right after you bought it? You’re a public figure, and any mishap could affect your career.
Jenny couldn’t take it anymore. She had to feign weakness even though she was panicking inwardly.
“Look at Pearl! She always speaks so harshly, but Jenny is always so gentle. So what if she bought a
fake item? Who can guarantee they won’t make a mistake in their lifetime?”
“So, are you saying you’ve bought a fake item before?” Pearl turned to the young woman who had
spoken. She came from a privileged background but dressed in a flashy manner.
The young woman snorted. “Well, yes, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and it’s just an accident.”
Pearl found it quite amusing and looked at the young woman with disdain. “I’m sorry to break it to you,
but not everyone is like you. I passed the appraiser test when I was sixteen, and I’ve never bought a
fake item. Not everyone is careless and unapologetic about it.”
The young woman felt humiliated but couldn’t come up with a retort.
Jenny, feeling defeated, kept her head down. “Pearl, people make mistakes. Try not to be so harsh.”
But how could Jenny ask Pearl to be lenient, considering their history?
Looking at Jenny, Pearl offered some advice, “You should be more cautious in the future, Miss Jenny.
Don’t let yourself be caught in such situations again.”
Jenny shot Pearl a fierce glare and left, feeling crestfallen.
When it was over, Pearl stretched and noticed that Richard had returned. He could tell from her
victorious expression that something had happened
“Did she give you trouble again?” Richard picked up a cake from a tray nearby and fed it to her.
Satisfied, Pearl narrowed her eyes. “Yeah, but it’s fine. She can’t defeat me.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I know, but try not to confront her.” Richard knew that Pearl was strong-willed, but he still had his
concerns.
Pinching Richard’s cheeks, Pearl playfully dismissed his worries. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling
sorry for your first love and afraid I’ll bully her?”
“No, I’m just worried about you. She’s now a famous star in the country. Her stupid fans won’t let you
off the hook if you offend her.” Richard shook his head, and all he could see was the adorable woman
in front of him.
However, Pearl wasn’t afraid in the slightest. In fact, she was more concerned that Jenny’s antics
would harm her own reputation in Enswood.
“Hugo is coming today, isn’t he?” Pearl asked.
Pursing his lips, Richard’s expression turned serious. “Yeah, but I’m not sure if he’ll show up or not.”
Shocked, Pearl wondered how Hugo would react in the presence of so many reporters if he did come.
