My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 182

It was rare for him to be a driver, and Lucas wanted to go out of his way to help, but Pearl did not give him the chance.

As soon as they got off the highway and entered the city. Pearl’s people were waiting by the roadside.

Pearl got out of the car and walked away without looking back.

Lucas shouted from behind her, “Hey, you’re leaving just like that?”

Pearl, with phone in hand, turned around to look at him impatiently. “What do you want?”

“Oh, nothing big. We’ve helped you so much. It’s okay to ask you to treat us to a meal, right? Isn’t that right, Marc?” Lucas looked for an ally.

Marc was unexpectedly cooperative. “Well, it’s not impossible.”

These two people were each more opportunistic than the other.

Pearl looked up lazily and said with minced words, “Seeking repayment for kindness, is not a gentleman’s way.”

Lucas was stunned by her words and immediately retorted, “To not repay kindness is even more of a little… girl’s behavior!”

When he saw Pearl’s expression, he very wisely changed the word “little miser” to “little girl“.

Pearl stopped bickering with him. “Then let’s do it tonight. 7.30 p.m. Food Delight Diner. I’ll be the host

Lucas had succeeded. He grinned. That’s more like it”

Pearl got into her car, the middle of three cars in a procession. The front and back cars were all bodyguards in black. It was an extraordinarily ostentatious scene.

Lucas clicked his tongue and said to Marc, who was still sitting in the back seat, “Come to the front passenger seat. Am I your driver or something?”

Marc said coldly, “I saw that you’re quite happy as a driver.”

“That’s for Pearl, not you

Marc did not reply and simply gave him a cold look. Oh, this dog with double standards.

At the thought that he would be able to eat Pearl’s cooking tonight, Lucas was in a wonderful mood. He drove the car and hummed along with the car’s speakers. With a tone similar to casual chatting, he probed for information. “How’s the progress on this trip to Wenstin?”

Marc leaned back in his chair and smoked a cigarette. He looked crestfallen, like a robot that had lost its battery. “Oh, you

know, it’s so so.”

“Looks like progress is slow.”

Lucas raised the corners of his lips and, without any psychological burden, shared his own thoughts with Marc.

“As for me, I originally planned to go to Wenstin too, but when I heard that you are going, I thought. I’ll pass. Every time you appeared, Pearl would not be in a good mood. Why should I provoke her, and get myself into trouble? That would not be

worth it.

The tilted his head to look at Marc and said, “But you have to be careful. There are more and more love rivals now. Other than me, Pearl now has little Donald by her side. That lad is younger than us.”

Mare did not know what to say to that.

“He uses his wits in a scheming way”

Again, Marc was silent.

He had originally wanted to treat Lucas’s words as mere hot air, but this fellow was just too noisy. Marc blew out a mouthful of

smoke. “Well, you’re quite lacking in wit.”

This time, Lucas was dumbfounded.

End of friendship!

As soon as she got into her car, Pearl received a call from Henry.

She immediately picked up the call. “Henry

“Pearl, are you out of the airport?”

Henry’s voice was indescribably warm and gentle.

“Yeah”

When Pearl saw the current trending topic, she knew that he must have deliberately shown up to divert the public’s attention. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? She hesitated and said, “You and Donna..”

Henry smiled gently on the other end of the phone. “Next time we meet, she’ll be your sister–in–law

Upon hearing this, Pearl’s furrowed brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face. “Congratulations, your patience is finally

rewarded.”

“Same to you.

Henry laughed and said, “Originally, I hadn’t planned to make it public so early. Then I thought, there’s no time like the present. Although I know you have your own plans for Peter, I can’t stand others scolding my sister like this

When Pearl heard this, her heart warmed, but then she felt bittersweet.

“Sorry for the trouble.”

After she said this, Donna’s voice came from the other end. “It’s no trouble. The fan circle is in such a foul state now, but it will

pass

soon. Don’t take it to heart.”

Pearl nodded and said. “Thank you, Third Sister–in–law.”

There was silence for a moment,

Then, Henry chuckled. “Alright, you’ve made my girlfriend blush by calling her Third Sister–in–law

After they exchanged a few more jokes, he hung up.

The fans and reporters had rushed to the airport in a grandiose manner, but they had not found what they were looking for. Just as they were feeling resentful, they found that Peter Smith had made a Facebook post

He first explained the situation of his leg injury, so that his family and fans did not have to worry. Then, he explained the issue of the role in detail, saying that he had not received any notice from the film crew to change role, and that the sponsor and director of “Moonlight Over The Sea” had no intention of replacing him.

The film crew had also taken the situation of his leg injury into consideration, and so they made use of a backup plan. Everyone would compete fairly for the role. As for who would be chosen in the end, it would all depend on the director and the film crew’s arrangements.

Finally, on behalf of his fans, he solemnly apologized to his boss who had been hurt. In a stern yet amiable tone, he advised. his fans to be rational in pursuing celebrities. They should not be wantonly condescending on the Internet, let alone do anything illegal..

“Don’t let your liking for me become a weapon to attack others. Love & Peace. I hope we can all hold on to these principles.”

Originally, his words had been sharper. When he had received a call from his younger brother, and heard that his fans had attacked Pearl on the way and at the airport, surrounding her and scolding her. Peter had become angry and anxious. His entire body had been trembling as he typed a bunch of words. In the end, his manager, Vera, had pruned out parts of the text and barely kept the emotion it conveyed in check.

Pearl received a call from Peter. “Ms. Woolery, I’m sorry, I already know. It’s all because of me…

He was filled with guilt as he apologized to Pearl. She had given so much thought and done so much for him. Not only had she helped him with the operation and treating his leg injury, but she had also had to bear the attacks by fans because of him and had almost been injured. These were all things that Peter could not accept.

“Alright.”

Pearl interrupted his profuse apology. “This was my decision. It had nothing to do with you. Everything seems to be under control at the moment. I’m not injured, so you don’t have to worry too much. The most important thing for you now is to recover and return to the crew to work on the movie as soon as possible.”

The posts Peter had made got a lot of reposts and likes from major verified accounts. Later on, the official media also took notice of this incident and expressed their support. Artistes had the obligation and responsibility to restrain their fans action There needed to be positive guidance. They also called for everyone to be rational in their fan activities, and to not test the

boundaries of the law,

On Gene’s side, due to the severe effects of public opinion, he could no longer take part in filming. That afternoon, he publicly announced that he wanted to leave the film crew, but also insinuated that this was a conspiracy. He mocked himself for having insufficient status and weight in his words, and for having put in all the effort just to have someone else enjoy the fruits in the end

His words had the tone of a tragic romance and actually attracted many reposts and likes from netizens. Peter’s anti–fans even claimed that this matter was all just a ploy to create hype for Peter from the beginning to the end, and that Gene was the most wronged scapegoat.

The internet was in an uproar. It was not until evening that things took a turn. A recording was posted online. It was a conversation between two people. A woman’s voice had been changed, and it was impossible to tell who it was, but the man’s voice was very clear.

Did you push Peter Smith down?”

Yes

Once the recording was released, it caused another shockwave.

Headlines like “Peter Smith’s fall off the cliff. It wasn’t an accident, but man–made appeared.

The situation became serious. With the police joining the fray, what had originally been just entertainment news became a riminal case. Gene was summoned that night to be investigated.

at the same time, Pearl, who had settled everything, came out of the bathroom. Taking the bath relieved her of a lot of fatigue rom getting travel–worn in the day and she felt much more comfortable.

s soon as she entered the dressing room and changed her clothes, Lucas’s call came. “We’re already at your door. Come out uickly! If you don’t come out, we’ll go in!”

carl said coldly. “Wait”
