My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 172

The hospital was not far from the set. When Pearl arrived, Peter happened to be leaving the ward with a crutch.

Vera and Peter’s assistants tried their best to persuade him, but they could not stop him.

Connor carried a black school bag and stood not far behind Peter, Knowing that he could not hold his brother, he could only follow and watch Peter closely, so he could be there in time to help Peter in case Peter fell.

All the noise stopped the moment Pearl appeared.

“Ms. Woolery!”

Everyone greeted Pearl in unison and thought to themselves, “Our savior has finally arrived!”

Pearl walked over with his slender legs. Behind him was a group of men in black, as if they were here to fight. It was quite intimidating

“Pearl

Connor was afraid that Pearl would attack Peter as soon as she arrived, so he quickly called her.

Pearl had indeed wanted to attack Peter as soon as she arrived. Of course, patients who did not listen to the doctor’s instructions had to be taught a lesson. However, hearing Connor call her, the anger in hes heart eased a little.

She lowered her clear eyes and sized up Peter. “Not bad. You can walk so soon. Looks like you’re recovering well. Peter could hear the slight mockery in her cold tone. He pressed his thin lips and said, “Ms. Woolery, I don’t want to quit the production team of Moonlight Over The Sea, nor do I want to give up the role of Dangelo.”

His words sounded polite, but they were actually very stiff and contained a hint of anger. It was as if he was blaming Pearl for not telling him and removing him from his role without his permission.

If Tyrus had not called him so early in the morning and excitedly told him that he would be coming to Westin soon and was going to play the part of Cameron, he would not even have known that his role as Dangelo had been replaced by Gene.

Connor quietly tugged at Peter’s clothes from behind, telling him not to speak to Pearl in such a tone. No matter what, Pearl cured Peter’s leg injury, and he owed her. In addition, Pearl must have had her reasons for making such an arrangement.

Pearl was not angry. She just said calmly, “You want to go back to the production team to film now? Alright, perform a backflip for me, and I’ll let you go.”

Peter was speechless.

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Peter could not even stand straight at this moment, so how could he do a backflip? Clearly, Pearl was asking him to do the impossible.

However, Peter handed the walking stick to Connor and said, “Connor, hold this for me.”

He was actually going to perform a backflip.

Connor panicked and stopped him. “Peter, don’t be stupid!”

Pearl shook her head helplessly and tilted her head to ask Connor, “Was your brother born in the year of the mule?”

Connor was stunned. He hugged Peter and shook his head. “No, the year of the horse.”

Pearl was inexplicably dumbfounded by the innocence of the child and was so angry that she laughed. Seeing that Connor could not control Peter, she waved her hand and asked the bodyguards to pick up Peter and carry him back to the ward.

Five minutes later, the ward fell silent.

Pearl briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter. Vera only understood after listening. In other words, you don’t want

Chapter 172

Peter to leave the production team, but you want Gene to quit on his Dwn initiative?

“Yeah”

Pearl said calmly, “I hate people who use unjust means to get what they want. He injured Peter so badly. How can I let him off?”

Peter looked up at Pearl. When he thought of what he had done earlier, he felt extremely ashamed. His ears turned red. “Ms. Woolery, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you.”

Pearl said. I didn’t tell you because this matter will be resolved soon. It’s nothing more than a small interlude. Your first priority now is to recover from your injuries. However, it’s a good thing now that you know.”

She turned around and instructed Vera. “Now, the news of Peter being injured during filming can be leaked appropriately. The news of the replacement can also be spread. As for the reason, cover it up first. There’s no hurry to reveal it.”

Vera was about to ask Pearl about this, but surprisingly, Pearl brought it up before she could. Nonetheless, she still had her concerns. “But I’m afraid that some fans who don’t understand will become extreme and vent their anger on you. What if they criticize you?”

“Let them.”

Pearl said, “It’s just words, they won’t hurt me. Besides, it’s only for a few days. When the situation turns around, I’ll clear my name. By then, they’ll know who to criticize.

Connor listened silently. Although he did not know much about the entertainment industry, he knew what Pearl wanted to do. Pearl was trying to stir up trouble.

Tyrus received the news and arrived in Wenstin the same afternoon.

Although he had a big mouth, he was also a laughing pill.

He first went to the set to meet the director, put on makeup, and auditioned for two scenes. As he had read the script when Peter had taken on the role, plus the character of Cameron suited him quite well, he was directly retained by Caleb to reshoot the previous scenes that Gene had acted in until the evening. Only then was he free to make a trip to Azure Hospital to visit

Peter.

Pearl came to the hospital at night to check on Peter’s leg injury and then stayed for a meal with them. Connor cooked the meal in the small kitchen.

Tyrus was very lucky. Food was ready as soon as he arrived, and he got a free meal.

Speaking of Peter, who wanted to be discharged from the hospital in the morning, Pearl scolded Tyrus for not keeping his mouth shut. Tyrus ate the Ribeye Steak and said innocently and aggrievedly, “How would I know that you were filming Mission Impossible?”

His words made everyone laugh

Peter was more concerned about the filming progress and Gene’s situation and kept asking Tyrus, who answered every

question

“It alright. I dont think Caleb is in a hurry at all. The crucial scenes are almost all complete. I acted with Gene twice today. His condition wasn’t good, and he only passed after more than 10 takes. He acted a little awkwardly and couldn’t get into character. The production team was all complaining that his acting isn’t as good as yours.”

Peter’s expression was a little gloomy. Ever since he joined the team, Gene had been taking good care of him. He regarded Gene almost as an older brother. It was because of this trust that he exposed his back to Gene without any defense. Never would he have expected Gene to stab him in the back.

Tyrus mumbled, You’re too naive. When I first entered the entertainment circle, my aunt taught me a saying, ‘One must not have the intention to harm others, but one must be wary of others. Now that you’re so popular, there are many people who are jealous of you. You have to be careful.”

Hearing Tyrus’s logic. Pearl could not help but laugh. She teased him, “Aren’t you jealous?”

“Why would I be jealous of him? He’s not as handsome as me.”

Tyrus was very confident in his appearance for some reason, and he added, “Anyway, I don’t have to worry about food or clothes. I’m happy as long as I have a role. A good friend of mine once said something to me. In this industry, if you don’t become famous, you’ll die, but if you become famous, you’ll be better off dead. Right, Peter?”

Peter was at a loss for words.

Connor silently gave Tyrus a thumbs up. “You’re absolutely right.”

Pearl could not help but laugh.

However, when she walked out of the ward and saw that familiar figure, the smile on her face disappeared.

Before the words “Why are you here again” came out of her mouth, a beautiful woman standing beside Marc walked over quickly and handed her business card to Pearl.

“Hello, Ms. Woolery. I’m Males Jewelry’s design director, Niamh Collins. When I found out that you were Master Marlene, I couldn’t wait to meet you. I’m a fan of yours…”

Niamh was very excited and looked like a fangirl as she respectfully asked, “I wonder if I have the honor to cooperate with

you?

Pearl took the business card. After hearing this, she looked up and met Marc’s gaze.

His gaze was deep and obscure, and his brows seemed as cold as ice.

It was as if she had done something heinous again.
