My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 65

While Lindsay was

is in the tollet, Hubert asked Pearl, “What happened! Who annoyed you!”

Pearl was drinking white wine. She did not seem like she wanted to talk.

Mason briefly explained what happened in the afternoon. Hubert finally understood what annoyed Pearl so much. “I thought it was something serious. It’s just him treating you to a meal. What’s the big deal?”

Thump! She placed the wine glass lightly on the table. Pearl looked at Hubert with a resentful expression. “He didn’t treat me to a meal. He wanted me to buy him this meal!”

“Okay, okay, okay?

Hubert corrected his words. “So be it What’s the big deal of you treating him to a meal? It’s not like you can’t afford it. Didn’t he bring the bowls along? It’s worth it to exchange a ineal for four antique bowls.”

Pearl looked at him coldly. “Is this a matter of four bowls The point is that I don’t want to have this meal with him!”

“Well, I wouldn’t say that

Hubert said. “You’ve raised your conditions, and he agreed, of course, you have to have this meal with him. Since you are going to eat, it doesn’t matter who you eat with riglur

Pearl snorted. “Easy for you to say. You can go ahead if you want to have this meal with him.”

“If Marc is willing to give me those four bowls, I’m willing to go,” said Hubert.

Pearl squinted her eyes. “Don’t you have any principles

can get such good antiques.”

“I don’t need to keep to my principles if I can

Hubert wanted to provoke her. “That’s what you told me. In the past, you were willing to do anything to find something good. Back then, for a shabby cabinet, you went to the countryside to help the farmer with his farm work for a month. Why are you easily backing away now that you can’t even have a meal with Marc!”

He lectured her for a long time, making her speechless.

Indeed. All of the antique collectors were shameless. In order to find good antiques, they could do anything. If they cared about principles and dignity, there was no way they could survive in this industry

Last time, she had been defeated by Marc. This time, he was the one who took the initiative to offer the bowls to her. How could she miss such a good opportunity?

She shook her head and smiled bitterly. I’m really getting old and thin–skinned. You’re right. Isn’t it just a meal? I have to have this meal with him for those four bowls.”

“That’s right” Hubert knew his sister was smart. She immediately understood that she was prone to making bad decisions when it was about Mare. Just remember one thing. You and him are divorced. You don’t have to show mercy to him. Take advantage of him when you have to Pearl sended. “That’s right, Hubert, here’s to

Then, they touted.

For you!”

When Lindsay returned from the washroom, she noticed Pearl’s mood brightened. Moreover, she seemed to be enjoying her seafood. She was surprised by her sister’s swaying mood. Tid I miss something”

Mason said. It’s nothing. You are will young and don’t need to know much about the adults‘ malicious intentions”

Lindsay looked at Pearl in confusion. “Pearl is so kind. Why would she have any malicious intentions!”

Pearl nodded. She agreed with her sister’s comment about her.

Mason and Hubert shook their heads at the same time and shattered Lindsay’s beautiful imagination of Pearl “She’s a bad person. Lindsay, haten to my advice. Don’t ever annoy Pearl, or you’ll end up in a miserable state.”

Alter Fusing their ineal, they left the restaurant. Mason and Lindsay went to get the car while Hubert accompanied Pearl, wanting for them at the

Chapter 65

Hubert was taken aback and looked away guiltily, “Huh? No way!”

Pearl tapped on Hubert’s phone and showed it to him. Two messages from WhatsApp popped up on his phone screen. One was a photo of a private room in the Beverland Hotel. Many beautiful girls were sitting in the brightly lit private room. Sitting in the middle was a man with braids. His skin. was fair, and his face looked alluring. His legs were slightly bent, yet they still looked ridiculously long.

The other message was a simple sentence. I’m here. Why don’t you come and join me? Don’t tell Pearl I’m here in Nanston.]

“Fuck!” Hubert quickly snatched the phone from Pearl’s hand. He did not expect Quentin to send him a message and Pearl to see him in such a

state.

Pearl squinted her eyes in suspicion. “What do you mean! Since Quentin came to Nanston, why did he ask you to keep it a secret from me!” Seeing

ing that they could not keep this a secret anymore, Hubert could only chuckle awkwardly. “We just wanted to give you a surprise”

“What a pleasant surprise” Pearl snorted. “The first thing he did when he came to Nanston was not to visit his sister but to enjoy himself. What a good brother he is.”

She held out her hand to Hubert.” me your phone”

When Hubert saw that Pearl was furious, he feared he would be in trouble. He could not care less about brotherhood and obediently handed his phone over

Pearl tapped the camera icon and wrapped her arms around Hubert’s neck. She took a photo and sent it to Quentin with a message: [Quentin, don’t appear before me ever if you have the guts!

Then, she threw the phone into Hubert’s hand and entered the car.

Almost as soon as she got into the car, Hubert’s phone rang. Hubert sighed secretly. Quentin’s panicked voice came through as soon as the call went through. “What’s going on? Why is Pearl with you?”

“We just had our meal” Hubert gloated. “I have warned you not to give Pearl any surprise. None of your surprises have succeeded since we were

kids

Quentin roared from the other end of the call, “That’s because of you! None of you have cooperated well with me. A bunch of useless brothers! Hurry up and pass the phone to Pearl I’ll try to coax her.”

“She has already left. Her phone’s battery is dead. You have to go to the Rose Garden and coax her.

Hubert gloated again. “But let me warn you about another thing. Pearl is not in a good mood today. Be careful, or else you might have to face her

anger.”

“Got it!”

Quentin hung up the phone, threw a pile of cash to the room full of women, and rushed to Rose Garden to coax his sister.

Pearl leaned against the car window and closed her eyes

eyes to rest. She felt her entire day was a mess and was still frustrated.

Mason drove while Lindsay sat in the front passenger seat At first, she dared not speak loudly until Pearl asked how she felt on her first day of work Only then did she start talking like a chatterbox.

Pearl only started the conversation, and Mason continued the rest of the conversation. The two of them were chatting. But on the way back to the Rose Garden, a car suddenly stopped them.

Mason had to slam on the brake to stop his car. Pearls body swayed forward because of the inertia, and she frowned.

“Mi. Woolery, something’s wrong”

When Mason saw a few burly men leaving the car opposite their car with iron rods in their hands, he knew things might get nasty. He locked the car immediately, called Kurt, and sent him their location.

Under the dim light, I Pearl squinted her eyes. She knew those people were up to no good
