SWNOVELS Chapter 152
Chapter 152
On the night Ralph’s waist was broken. Tina stormed into the Rose Garden aggressively in a hurry.
She originally wanted to break into the Woolery Group, but she was stopped by the security guard at the door. The security guard told her that she had nothing to do with anyone in the company and stopped her at the door. She even almost sprained her ankle, which made her furious.
Since she could not enter the company, all she could do was return to the Rose Garden and wait.
Tina was not good at driving, so she took the main road, Unexpectedly, it rained again on the way back. The road was also congested. She drove a convertible sports car and was instantly drenched.
It didn’t matter that she was drenched in the rain, but her contact lenses had fallen off again, and she couldn’t see the road ahead clearly. There were a few times when she almost get pulled out of her car and beaten up.
It was only because she was beautiful and begged for mercy that those old men let her go.
had been bumpy. Tina felt as if she had gone through all sorts of tribulations and narrowly escaped death to reach the Rose Garden She was in an extremely sorry state and almost lost her fighting spirit.
Her journey
Pearl and Lindsay were eating in the dining room when Tina entered. Mason was also there. He seized every opportunity to spend more time with Linday
Emily was shocked when she saw Tina. She asked, “Oh, Miss Tina, did you encounter a ghost on your way here? Why are you in such a sorry state?”
Hearing the commotion, Pearl and the other two turned to look. They almost didn’t recognize Tina.
Tina might not be compatible with Nanston. She would encounter some kind of unfortunate accident every time it rained and make herself look like a ghost.
Pearl looked at Tina from afar and said, “Have you been possessed by a Pekinese!”
Mason and Lindy looked at each other and nodded in unison.
They felt that Tina looked familiar, but they could not recall what she looked like. They immediately felt that Pearls analogy was too appropriate.
Tina’s newly dyed blond hair was stuck limply on her scalp and face after being drenched by the rain. She looked especially like a Pekinese.
“Pearl Woolery! What have you done?“
Tina regained her fighting spirit and walked toward Pearl angrily
She couldn’t see Pearl clearly from afar just now. Now that she was closer, she couldn’t bear to look at her anymore. It was very painful to the eyes
Pearl thought that Tina was avoiding eye contact because she was too beautiful. She said nonchalantly. “Your current outfit looks like the soup on our table.
Tina stopped in her tracks and looked down at herself. Only then did she realize that her newly dyed hair was still dripping with water and yellow pigment. Coincidentally, she was wearing a red dress today. She did look like egg drop soup.
“PE—” Mason and Lindsay really couldn’t hold it in this time.
They wouldn’t describe Tina’s outfit as being similar to egg drop soup. It was identical
Tina’s expression turned dark through the yellow pigment.
She had come to settle scores with Pearl today, but she did not expect to receive a wave of ridicule as soon as she entered.
“What are you laughing at? Would I have ended up in this state if it weren’t for you!”
Tina’s anger finally erupted. She pointed at Pearl and said. “Pearl Woolery! What right do you have to get someone to hit my father! He’s your uncle How dare you offend your elders? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
Pearl’s expression turned cold as the sneered in disdain, “If there really is a god, he would have long struck someone as heartless and unscrupulous as you guys to death Aren’t you all alive and well You’re not even at death’s door yet. What are you shouting for!”
“How dare you curse
Tina was furious. “How can you be so viciousTM
Tändsay couldn’t take it anymore. They you were the one who cursed Pearl first. Can you tone it downs with your double stamilands!”

“Shirt up? Do you have the right to speak here?” Tina directed her anger at Lindsay.

“Ms. Day, it’s better to be polite when you’re
After being with Pearl for so long. Mason had learned what it meant to command respect without becoming angry, as well as what it meant to say something ruthless with a gentle tone.
Tina was stunned. She suddenly realized that she had no mass in this family. Now, she could not even bully Lindsay,
She straightened her neck. “It’s good that you know that I’m Mrs. Day. I have the backing of a wealthy in–law now. Do you think I won’t get my husband to finish you guys off if you dare to bully ine or my father again? I’ll bankrupt the Woolery Group in minutes!”
Pearl and the others didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This was the funniest joke they had heard this year.
Tina flew into a rage out of humiliation, “What are you laughing at Just tell me if you’re afraid!”
Pearl tied her bead and looked at Tina Trealized that you really have the potential to be a comedian. Remember to come and look for me if Manfred Day kicks you out of the house one day I’ll organize a debut for you to act in a skit”
- “Are y
you insulting me!
Tina was speechless. No matter how stupid she was, she could tell that Pearl had said something nasty. She asked, “No.” Pearl said, “Tim flattering you. Do you think it’s easy to be a comedian! It’s not as easy as marrying into a rich family” Tina felt that Pearl was insulting her again. “Don’t be checky with me. I’m serious. If you dare to bully me again, I get my husband to teach you a
“You can go back and ask Manfred if he has the guts”
Pearl was expressionless. “Would he be able to teach me a lesson even if you fed him the gall of a bear! Besides, would he even listen to you?”
1–Tina wanted to continue making a fuss. Pearl became impatient and narrowed her eyes as she interrupted, “You might not be able to go through with your wedding if you continue making a fuss. Do you think Manfred will go ahead with marrying you or cancel the wedding if he finds out that Ken Woolery is no longer your father”
This sentence immediately made Tina, who already felt insecure about the marriage, turn pale.
She was like a balloon that had been punctured. She didn’t dare to make a fuss anymore.
On the day before Pearl’s birthday party, Mare especially took the time to go to Link City.
He was not giving up. He wanted to go to the collector in Link Ciry to see Master Marlene’s work before he went to Nanston.
If things went well, he might be able to negotiate with Pearl about the collaboration with Master Marlene when he reached Nanston
The collector lived in a remote area and had changed residences several times. It took Mare a long time to find him. As soon as they met, they exchanged a few pleasantries before immediately cutting to the chase.
The collector knew why Mare was there. He smiled and said, “You can take a look, but you can’t buy it. To be honest, many people have come to me recently to purchase Master Marlene’s work. There are people who offer a high price, but I really can’t bear to part with it. I just want to keep it and treasure it well. It’s best if the pieces of art can be passed down from generation to generation”
Marc expressed his understanding. Even if he could not buy it, this trip wouldn’t be in vain if he could see the pieces for himself.
The collector asked him to wait for a moment before going to the study.
Aher a while, he carefully came out with a tray. There were two things on the tray, and they were covered with cloth. It was obvious how much he valued these two works.
The
tense and solemn atmosphere made Marc and Thomas’s hearts flutter. They were very
ery excited to see the pieces of art.
The collector lifted the doth one after the other. The tray was very large, but both of the pieces were rather small.
The item on the left was a piece carved out of a gemstone titled “Mular“. It was a carving of the famous female general, Mulan,
Many artis had carved Mulan in the past, but the ingenious thing about this piece was that it had two sides. One side was the appearance of Mulan when she was in her boudoir, and the other side was how she looked when she was in the army. She was innocent and carefree when she was in her boudoir, which was a sharp contrast to the valiantness she cauded when she was in the army. Yet, the two halves formed a complete character.
The carving was hitelike just by looking at the piece, the famous image of Mulan appeared in Marc’s mind.

He stared fixedly at the nimble character on the gemstone.
Marlene’s superb skills?”
“How is it?” The collector looked at Mare and smiled. “Are you shocked by Master Marle
“Yes” Marc nodded in agreement, “I don’t know why, but the Mulan in the painting looks very familiar. She looks like a lady I know.”
“Oh, rally!” the collector teased. “It’s not your sweetheart, is it?”
Mare was slightly stunned. He smiled and did not say anything,
He sighed in his heart, “I’m probably possessed. Why does everyone look like Pearl?”
Picking up the gemstone, Mare saw two small lines of words at the bottom. It was an ancient poem: “The mountain has its woods, and the tree has Branches. This heart loves you, yet you do not know.
The engraved words had a special font.
Mare caressed the two lines of words with his fingertips and felt that they were very familiar. Suddenly, he had an epiphany. He felt around his body for something and took out the rose seal he carried with hum
He placed the gemstone and seal together and realized that the font was exactly the same. The words were definitely written by the same person. Marc’s pupils trembled as he thought, “It’s really her!”
