Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

"Pea, I know you must be mad atright now. If you hate me, I'll never show up in front of you again..." After Beah passed away, Pearl was the closest person to Gigi. Even though she messed up, Pearl never blamed her and always treated her like a sister.

But Pearl knew sthings couldn't be fixed.

"You've treatedlike a sister. How could I blyou?" Pearl sighed. "Even though you really messed up this time, at least you're willing to change. How could I abandon you?" Gigi looked up with tears in her eyes. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"I want to thank you. At least you toldeverything in time." Pearl smiled faintly. Gigi reached out to her that night before Hugo died.

With tears streaming down her face, she recounted the entire process of betraying Pearl and Hugo's plans for her and Waldorf Enterprises. In the end, Gigi said, "I don't expect you to forgive me, but I hope you won't get hurt because ofanymore." Gigi was a kind girl; she just took the wrong path. Pearl didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, Gigi cclean. "Thank you, Pea." "You're welcome. If you run into any trouble there, be sure to letknow." Gigi nodded, hugged Pearl with tears in her eyes, and then left.

Esther watched her leave and clicked her tongue. "I don't get it. Why be nice to her after she's betrayed you like that? If it were me, I'd have chewed her out and kicked her out a long tago." "Well, you're still young," Pearl said, tapping Esther's head lightly. "So stop talking nonsense. It's all in the past. By the way, how's it going with James?" She knew that Esther didn't cover today just for this matter. As soon as Pearl finished speaking, Esther chuckled. "You knowtoo well. I've been getting along pretty well with him lately, but his mother..." Esther looked troubled, which made Pearl think James's mother was being difficult. She couldn't help but frown and say, "Is his mother giving you a hard time? If his family isn't treating you right, you can dump him anytime. Esther, you deserve better. If his family dares to criticize you, dump him." Esther quickly shook her head, indicating Pearl had misunderstood. "His mother didn't treatbadly. In fact, she's been a little too nice." Esther lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers, her face turning red. "His mother wants us to get married soon and have grandchildren... Butl think it's too soon, so I haven't agreed yet. But his mother hovel.n misunderstood. She thought James was seeing another woman and didn't want to get married. Now they argue every day." Thinking about these gave her a headache. Agnes actually liked Esther more than she had imagined.

She thought that James's family would be very critical of her, a former celebrity. Even though she was the heiress of Sanders Group, the Sanders and the Crawfords were like heaven and earth. There was simply no comparison.

But Agnes didn't dislike her and even treated Esther better than her own son. It made her feel overwhelmed.

Pearl chuckled. "That's great, isn't it? I thought you were dealing with sreal trouble."
