Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 516

Chapter 516

Esther was brimming with excitement as she practically dragged Pearl to a wedding gown store, their first destination. With their engagement approaching, trying on engagement gowns made serise, saving them valuable time.

Esther quickly spotted a gown she adored-a long, white dress with an elegant train. It garnered plenty of admiring remarks from her. "Wow, this gown is absolutely stunning. I love it, Pearl. Can you hold my bag? I'm going to try it on right now!"

Beaming, Pearl nodded and reached for the gown. However, her hand was harshly smacked away, causing her quite a bit of pain. She withdrew her hand, only to find that someone had snatched the gown. Pearl glanced over to see Jenny, whom she hadn't encountered in quite some time.

Pearl was well aware that Jenny had been sidelined from her career-it was common knowledge. When she noticed the exhaustion on Jenny's face, which makeup couldn't completely conceal, she couldn't help but mock her. "Hey, Miss Jenny. What's going on with you? Are you trying to make trouble for others just because things aren't going well in your career and love life?"

Jenny's expression changed as Pearl touched a sore spot. "What nonsense are you talking about? You didn't buy this gown, and everyone has an equal right to it. Do you not understand that? Why accuse me of causing trouble?"

Pearl was surprised by Jenny's newfound eloquence. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"We were the first to choose this gown. Don't you know the concept of 'first come, first served "?" Esther was fuming and had half a mind to punch Jenny's annoying face. She thought Jenny was just a washed- up has-been with no right to act high and mighty.

Jenny scoffed. "Well, I've got the gown now, and there's no one else here. Your words hold no weight."

"How dare you!"

Pearl tried to calm Esther down. With a smile, she suggested, "You're absolutely right. Without any concrete evidence, we can't dispute this apart from the store's surveillance system."

"So, what if there's a surveillance system? It's mine since I have it now."

At that moment, the sleepy shop assistant woke up and was alarmed by the commotion. She wondered what had unfolded before her eyes.

Pearl snorted. "Fine, let's settle this by offering a higher price. Let's see who's willing to pay more for the gown."

Naturally, Jenny was reluctant, well aware that she would be outmatched. Even when she was a top celebrity, her wealth paled in comparison to Pearl's. Of course, the entertainment industry couldn't match the business world in terms of income.

"No, I disagree, since you definitely earn more than me." It would be foolish for her to accept Pearl's challenge.

"In that case, how about we compete in something else? Why not test our understanding of fashion design?" Pearl proposed.

Jenny felt suspicious, not entirely sure what Pearl had in mind. However, she had attended numerous fashion events and endorsed numerous high-end brands, feeling confident in her ability to outdo Pearl in this regard.

Besides, she knew Pearl had studied jewelry design abroad, seemingly unrelated to fashion design. Therefore, she thought she had a strong chance of winning.

"Okay, let's do that."

Pearl let Jenny speak first.

Jenny's eyes sparkled, realizing that being the first to speak would give her an advantage and allow her to set the tone. "This gown exudes a gentle aura akin to moonlight, with pearl accents around the chest area, adding to its overall gentleness. It's most suitable for someone of a gentle disposition."

She implied that Esther, who was known to have a fiery temper, was ill-suited for such a delicate gown.

"Oh? I beg to differ." Pearl smiled as she stepped forward. "I have a different perspective."
