"What tricks are you playing?”
Marc released her wrist. His tone was chilling. “Who exactly are you?”
The assistant rebuked discontentedly, “How dare you speak to our young lady like that?”
Pearl waved her hand and glanced at Marc with an aloof expression. “Sir, do we know each

laughter sounded in his ear. Lucas, who had witnessed everything, stood at the elevator entrance anc After knowing Marc for such a long time, he had seen Marc in such a state of defeat for
the first time.
Lucas walked toward Marc as he laughed. His
arm draped over Marc's shoulder. “Are you sure this is your ex—
wife who is obedient and dull as you said? As her ex-husband, you only
worth ten cents?”
Marc clenched the ten—cent coin tightly, gritting his teeth. The veins in his forehead were
bulging.

"Well, I guess enemies often cross each other's path.”
Hubert put on his Bluetooth earphones, and his fingers tapped away on the keyboard. He accessed the surveillance footage on

to Nanston as soon as possible!”
"At this moment, shouldn't he be having a lovey—

"Could he come here specially for me...” she wondered.
In a moment of contemplation, Hubert murmured through the phone, “Did he know Lucas Parker?” “Who?” Pearl frowned.
Looking at the two big men with their arms around each other on the surveillarice, Hubert said, “It se Pearl's eyes narrowed. "Did he betray me?”
“It is highly possible.”

Pearl's eyelashes trembled, and she asked self-mockingly, “Do you think it's possible?”
“No way.”
Hubert shattered her fantasies directly. “From what I know, there was a big drama at Males House la: night. Your ex-mother-in-law and that home wrecker Clarissa had a battle. In the end, your ex— husband chased away his own mother just for his lover.”
Upon hearing this, Pearl's heart plummeted again, with a mocking smirk spreading across her lips. “Marc is such a kind person. Now that he goes against his own mother for Clarissa Santos. He must I matter?” she said inwardly.
"If he really is coming for you, what are you planning to do?" Hubert asked.
Pearl dismissed all the random thoughts in her mind and regained her calm and indifferent demeanc
