Pearl didn’t offer a simple“yes” or “no” in response, Instead, she took a sip of water and asked him. “This home, the heat is more controll before. Why is that

It seemed like a question, but it was actually a s

test.

Connor said, “I think it was because I was madurry last time?

Pearl asked again,

“Why aren’t you in a hurry to add salt this time!”

“Because there’s ham in the dish, and I added dried shrimp and hans broth. If I added salt early, it would be a fut salty. Also, I thought the broth looked a bit pale, so I added a touch of dark soy sauce. Connor explaineid.

As soon as Connor finished speaking. Lucas couldn’t help but say. “That’s right. I was saying that the soup looks so thick. Once you add the pry

it turns into a yellow color.”

After showing off, Lucas leaned back and asked for Pearls opinions like a kindergarten kid about to be praised.

Teark am I right?”

Pearl found Connor amoying

Connor quietly moved his feet and blocked Lucas again.

Locas was speechless.

Was Connor doing this on purpose!

Pearl paid no heed to Lucas and instead picked up a fork to taste the dish once more. After swallowing a bar, she complimented Connor yung Placing the salt earlier can lead to the meat becoming too salty. This time, you got it just right. You’ve made an improvement”

Conner bramed with delight and responded. “It’s all thanks to your excellent guidance.”

Pearl chuckled briefly and then adopted a more serious expression. “Hold on a moment, are these shrimp blanched in water” she inquired.

Connor’s hear tightened. “Yes”

“Remember, when shrimp are blanched, don’t stir them after placing them in the water, or the coating will come off. Pearl advised.

When Pearl lectured, she was still very dignified. Even Darren, a master chef of the state banquet, was afraid of her, let alone Comer, who waya fledgling. He answered obediently, “Yes”

He added. ‘Ill remember, Pearl”

Good children were always lovable

Frail added another piece of advice, ying. When cooking the vermicelli, pay close attention to the blanching process. After blanching it two, be suer not to see water remove the excess moisture. The moment you try for drain it, it lack together”

She delicately pocked up some vermicelli with a fork and continued her instruction. “Ser, with the vermicelli shke the fish cant be separated from the water and the wait can’t be separated from the fish. Whether it’s blanching or parbeding, they ve never really left the water

Chapter 141

Connor agreed without hesitation. “Okay”

Everyone at the table was stunned when they heard that. How could a mere dish be so particular?

They felt that the previous dish was already delicious enough. What was there to be picky about!

However, when they picked up the fork and tried the chicken chowder, they felt that it seemed to be tastier than the previous one. However, they

could not tell what was tastier.

The only guy at the table who could come up with an explanation was Lucas. He sat in his seat with a livid expression. He was so angry that his nose. wrinkled as he looked at Connor’s unmoving back.

Connor seemed oblivious to the brewing tension in the room.

Lucas’s typically expressive face now carried a heavy, unsettling tension as he contemplated the events,

The guests and hosts enjoyed the celebratory feast merrily.

In the end, everyone was drunk Lucas was surrounded by a group of female designers and was taken advantage of

He made a determined effort to defend his innocence, calling out to the retreating Pearl Woolery. “Pearl, you can’t just stand by and watch! You need to rein in these female rascals in your company. They’re practically devouring me.”

Pearl waved her hand without looking back. “Eat as much as you can. Don’t stand on ceremony.”

Connor even closed the door especially considerately.

Lucas said. “Oh my goodness, don’t touch me, keep your hands off! I’m calling the police.”

The early summer night was especially beautiful and the sky was filled with stars

A gust of cold wind blew past. As soon as Pearl touched her arm, her shoulder sank. Connor put his coat on her.

Pearl was stunned. She glanced at the white sportswear on her and then looked up at Connor.

Connor misunderstood and hurriedly explained, “Pearl, don’t mind it. This sportswear has just been washed. It’s not stained with the stench of my

Sweat

Pearl lowered her head and sniffed. Indeed, there was no stench of sweat. There was only the faint fragrance of soap.

However, with just Pearl’s subcle motion, Connor felt a sudden jo in his chest and a tightness in his stomach. In a hurry, he turned around and stammered “Pearl, it’s getting lace. I should be on my way!”

It was as if there were pursuers chasing after him. He ran very quickly,

After running for a while, the young man suddenly turned around and waved at her. “Pearl, good night!”

Pearl chuckled and raised her hand at him

He watched as the young man disappeared into the night like a bolt of white lightning.

Pearl adjusted his white sportswear and got into the car “Let’s go.”

Machodean.

“You still can’t find Master Marlene’s contact information?”

On the way back to the mansion, Marc held the phone and asked the design director, Niamh Collins, in a deep voice.

Niamh was aho at her wits end. She said with a headache. “Mr. Males. I’ve searched all the connections in the industry. Everyone has only heard of Master Marlent but never seen her. The only old classmate Eve seen is also a very principled person. She told me clearly that Master Marlene doesn’t want to work with Males Group. So even if she has Master Marlene’s contact information, she won’t give it to us.”

Marr’s eyes took on a deep, contemplative hur Did you ask her if Master Marlene has any biases against the Males Group, or why she’s reluctant to rollabure with uự

I did ask but the’s a

is quite tight–lipped about it. At first, the only mentioned that Master Marlene’s schedule is fully booked and she doesn’t have time. But that sounded like an excuse. It wasn’t until I staked our years of friendship on it that she revealed a bit of the truth”

Nutch was also worried about this. She carefully suggeued, Mr. Males, I heard that you have a good relationship with Woolery Conup’s MA Wodney, Why dont you try to contact her?”

Marcalare darkened

Chapter 11

What kind of relationship! Divorced relationship?

Males Group and Master Marlene had never really interacted or had any conflicts before, so he couldn’t fathom why Master Marlene would harbor such strong resistance towards the Males Group, refusing to collaborate in such an unequivocal manner.

He thought that the only possibility was that Pearl had interfered.

After hanging up. Marc pinched the space between his eyebrows.

Thomas suggested, “Mr. Males, why don’t we poach the design director of Woolery Jewelry?”
