My Ex-Husband Wants Me Again

Chapter 37

Pearl had always followed the principle of giving others a lesson by using her fists but not her tongue.

With her own cousin, she could still spare some effort to teach a lesson by moralizing. However, with outsiders, she didn't even bother lifting a finger, fearing it might hurt her hand.

She was in a foul mood, and anyone who provoked her in this state shouldn't expect politeness from her

The venue was filled with a cacophony of music and chatter, and initially, no one noticed the commotion in the corner. However, this group of gossipy ladies, who seemingly never experienced this kind of thing, was utterly shocked by what they witnessed, and they couldn't stop screaming.

Thanks to them, Pearl, who had always kept a low profile, swiftly became the center of attention. All eyes were now on her, and people had gathered around her.

The lady splashed with wine and hit in the head was the only one not screaming. She was nearly speechless but choked out. "Who are you?"

Those invited to the banquet were wealthy or prominent, including at least a few B-list celebrities. This lady was just a B-list actress who had spent over a decade in the entertainment industry and had been making a name for herself lately. Therefore, she was adept at reading people.

Although she was terrified, a quick glance at Pearl's attire, the high-fashion gown, and the emerald pendant around her neck revealed that they were possessions she could only dream of having in a lifetime of acting. Her confidence deflated instantly.

"You don't even recognize me yet dared to badmouth me behind my back. Now I wonder if your ignorance makes you fearless or just that you truly have the courage of a lion?"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Her words prompted an immediate response from the group of sisters around her, all chiming in, "That's right! Pouring wine on someone without a word! Miss Pearl, even if you're from the Woolery family, how could you be so rude!"

At that moment, it seemed like they were about to teach Pearl a lesson together.

They prepared to step forward. However, at that time, Pearl didn't even glance at those women, and she swiftly took two glasses of wine from a walter's tray and splashed them directly at the chattering women. It seemed that she was determined to be "rude." Pearl maintained her composure after drenching them in wine, staring coldly at them with an air of nobility and pride.

It was a look that said, "Twe just splashed you, and what are you going to do about it!"

"What's happening here! What's going on?"

She put on a pitiful look. pretending to be a victim, and pointed at Pearl, complaining, "It's all because of this woman. We were just chatting, and she came over and splashed wine on us without saying a word! Hubert, Ms. Law, her causing trouble here is clearly disrespectful to you. Please, hurry up and escort her out!"

Her pr

Pearl finished wiping her hands and glanced at Hubert with a playful smile, "Hubert, when did you get yourself a girlfriend and not introduce her to me? If I had known she was your future wife, I would've been more courteous to her.

here.

She turned to Elaine, saying, "I'm sorry, Elaine, but I don't want to spoil your party any further. I should leave now and make amends with the Law family another time."
