Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1179

"If that's the case, did you manage to do it?" Pearl asked, looking at him with serious eyes. She didn't want to bring up uncomfortable topics, but she had to know. "If you didn't, it's because you still had hope for Esther. But seeing her with someone else, you couldn't let her go, could you?"

Finnegan lowered his head. "You're right."

He wanted to move on, but deep down, he hadn't really let go of Esther. When he saw her happy with someone else, he gave up. Instead of dealing with his feelings, he decided to marry someone he didn't love.

He hadn't truly moved on.

"Finnegan, you know what you should have done," Pearl said gently.

Finnegan seemed to have lost all his energy and just laid down. "I know. I'll think about it," he said quietly.

Ten years of admiration were destroyed in a few seconds, and seeing his struggle, Pearl didn't want to push him. He needed time to think, and she respected that.

After staying a little longer, Pearl left with Richard.

Esther got home and immediately posted on social media to let her fans know she was safe after being rescued. She hoped this would ease their worries.

However, her fans were skeptical. They thought the post was just a statement by the company and started spreading rumors.

Esther tried to clear things up with a video-she was safe now, so their plan to confront the village should be put aside. But the rumors only grew, and comments flooded in. [We were so worried about you, Este!]

[I can't live on if something happened to you.]

[You're probably the first person to be saved from there. You're very lucky!]

Some doubted her story, suggesting she might have been hurt or worse.

[People who are kidnapped would usually be sold to single old men there. Was she... you know...]

[Yeah, she looks so skinny in the video. I'm sure she was tortured.]

[My goddess, my pure goddess, now tarnished!]

[What is all this bullsh*t? Who says everyone sold there would be tortured?]

[Haha, tell me why wouldn't she be sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She really felt upset.

James looked through all the comments and then gently patted Esther's shoulder, trying to comfort her. "Don't worry, I'll take care of the bad press."

Esther bit her lip. "No, we need to make sure people stop spreading rumors. Otherwise, this is going to haunt me forever."

She knew that if they didn't clear things up now, the rumors and gossip would follow her around endlessly.
