My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 173

“This is not a place for discussions. Can I treat you to a cup of coffee?” Niamh invited respectfully.

When she found out that Miss Woolery, Mare’s ex–wife, was Master Marlene, Niamh was honestly stunned. She was shocked. and called Ada, her good friend, to verify. Ada initially wanted to deny it, but Niamh scolded her.

What a friend!

Ada had no choice, Ms. Woolery kept a low profile and did not allow her to say anything. What could she do? Mr. Males was the one who had made things turn out that way.

He did not treasure such a good wife. He might be handsome, but he was foolish to lose her

Niamh did not expect the person she revered to be standing right before her. She looked at Pearl with admiration.

Thomas looked at her disdainfully. He reminded her to pay attention to their company’s image. She was practically drooling

“You’re Ada’s classmate. Logically speaking. 1 should accept the invitation Pearl took her business card and said calmly, “However, you’re also an employee of Males Group. That makes me hesitant to accept.”

Niamh was speechless.

Pearl’s expression remained calm. “I’ll accept your business card. If you want to change jobs, feel free to contact me. Woolery Jewelry welcomes you.”

Marc did not say anything.

She wanted to poach his employee right in front of him. She was a little too much.

Mason looked at his watch and reminded Pearl. “Ms. Woolery, we must get going. The general manager from the branch company has been waiting at the hospital’s entrance for a long time.”

“Alright”

Pearl nodded slightly. I still have something on. Excuse me.”

Marc’s thin lips slowly pursed into a straight line as he watched her leave resolutely again. His dark eyes seemed to have turned a shade darker.

It was hard to distinguish the original color of his eyes.

As they walked out, Pearl’s eyes were filled with impatience.

“How did he know my identity?”

Mason took two steps forward. “Are you talking about your identity as a gemstone expert?”

Pearl glanced at him coldly. “Of course,

Mason touched his nose and deliberated. ‘You have so many different identities. How would I know which one you’re referring

He thought for a moment. Isn’t there a saying? Don’t do it if you don’t want others to know.”

Pearl looked at him coldly. Mason knew what that look implied. He immediately changed his words. It was wrong to say that. It’s just that you can’t hide the truth.

Pearl continued to walk forward. Her expression remained aloof.

Mason scratched his head and muttered softly, “Didn’t you give Mr. Males one work of yours previously? He isn’t a fool. As long as he sees your other works and spots the similarities, it’s inevitable that he will guess it

It was not just that piece of work. She had given him a lot of things in the past.

Pearl thought about it. People usually returned the things they had given to their partners after breaking up.

a clean breakup. Why did Mare not return what she had given him even after their divorce?

What an unfathomable man

Woolery Group had operations in many industries. They had branches in all the big cities, even Wenstin Ralph and Errol had not been involved with these industries. Therefore, these operations had not been affected and had continued to develop steadily. Their performance was thriving

For the past three years, many people thought that Pearl was dead.

While living in Machodean for three years, Pearl had been a dutiful wife. She took good care of Marc. However, she had also made time to manage Woolery Group as well

Quarterly reports on the performances of Woolery Group and its branches were sent to her email on time. The ones given to Ralph were all made up. He would not have read them anyway. People outside had thought that Woolery Group was about to collapse. Little did they expect it to be developing stably instead. Otherwise, it would not have recovered so quickly.

It was easier to set up a business than to maintain it. Ken and Rebecca had established a business empire that had a strong and stable foundation. With Pearl’s skills and ability, she would not fail like Ralph and Errol

Pearl visited the branch company in the afternoon. She had a meal with its general manager and various executives at night. It was already late when she was done socializing and had reached the hotel.

Pearl drank a lot of local wine that night. It tasted mellow and sweet. She liked it and had drunk more than usual. Her face even turned red.

When she got out of the car, the gentle night wind caressed her. It felt good.

Mason helped the swaying Pearl out of the car. He helped her carry her bag and looked at her worriedly. “Ms. Woolery, can you go back on your own? Can you walk? Why don’t I help you?”

He stood before Pearl and squatted down slightly. He was ready to piggyback her, but Pearl slapped his back. “Get up. I don’t need you. I can walk back on my own. I’m not drunk.”

Mason looked helpless and muttered sofily. “Usually, drunk people say they’re not drunk

Pearl hollered. I’m not drunk!”

Pearl’s eyes were half–glazed as she said, “You don’t believe me? I’ll walk in a straight line for you to see!” She still refused to admit that she was drunk.

Then, she swayed left and right while trying to walk straight.

Mason looked at her in disbelief.

That was no straight line. She looked like she was dancing.

Mason could not bear to look at her. He was shocked when he saw Pearl was about to bump into the glass door. “Be careful!”

was about to shout again when he saw someone stepping forward to support Pearl.

THE

The hotel had a revolving glass door. Mare supported Pearl, and they went into the lobby. He stood still and smelled the strong smell of alcohol on her. He frowned slightly. “Why did you drink so much?”

Pearl felt uncomfortable bending over. She held onto her arms and straightened her back. When she looked up, she saw Marc’s expressionless face.

The corners of her mouth twitched as she asked abominably, “Why are you here?”

Marc’s face darkened.

What did she mean by saying those words with a face full of disdain? Was she put off to see him around?

The veins on his foreheart bulged. “What did you say?”

Mason felt a strong gust of cold air blowing at him. He exclaimed in a low voice, “It’s alright. He quickly went forward and took Pearl from Marc’s arms. Just as he thought he had salvaged the situation, he heard Pearl shout again, “Damn it. Why are you here?”

Mason was at a loss for words.

He did not know how to react. He stayed silent and looked at the ground.

Marc’s expression had turned vicious.

He turned to ask Thomas and Niamh, “Am 1 so unwelcome?”

Thomas and Niamh shook their heads in unison.

They did not dare say otherwise.

However, Pearl had only just started. She continued. “Hey, since we’re already divorced, shouldn’t you return what I gave you in the past? The cufflinks, cartoon figures. I worked hard to make them bit by bit. You don’t know how to cherish them even if I give them to you. What a waste.”

She complained to him and raised her hands. “Do you know how much I make from each work? Give them back to me. If I sell them. I can even buy a house at Nanston.

Marc quietly listened to her rant.

When she stopped, he said calmly, “It’s impossible to return them to you, but I can buy you a property.”

Everyone was not expecting to hear such a reply from Marc.
