Tyler shrieked miserably, “No, I just accidentally touched you! You’re not going to make a big deal out of it, are you? After all, if Richard doesn’t want you, why would someone like me feel the same!”
His words made Pearl’s eyes turn cold. In response, she tightened her grip.
“Ouch! That hurts! My bad, okay? I won’t touch you again. Just let me go, please?” Tyler found himself trapped in an unfortunate encounter with an unreasonable shrew.
“Tyler, you’re here flirting with women, aren’t you? I’m calling Dad right now to report this. I’ll make sure he grounds you,” Esther threatened as she reached for her phone.
This sent Tyler into a state of panic. “My dear sister, please, not that. Dad’s going to kill me!”
“No, he’ll just give you a mild punishment, maybe a few days of grounding at most. Nothing too severe,” Esther replied matter-of-factly.
However, Tyler wanted to avoid reliving those dreadful days of punishment he’d experienced before, so he reluctantly agreed. “Alright, I’ll apologize to her. Please, don’t tell Dad!”
Making his promise, Tyler turned to Pearl and extended an apologetic gesture. “I’m truly sorry. It was my
fault. I hope you can forgive me.”
Pearl, who had been observing their exchange, finally realized that they were siblings. Esther’s behavior
towards Tyler made it evident.
Esther wore a slight frown because Pearl hadn’t responded. “Pearl doesn’t forgive you. Keep on apologizing to her, or else, I’m still going to tell Dad!”
Her words put Tyler in anguish. “Huh? Why? Didn’t I say I’m sorry?”
“No, you weren’t sincere. Do it again!” Esther insisted.
“No, Esther. Don’t cross the line. Haven’t you forgotten that I have something on you? Remember that thing you… Ugh!” Before Tyler could divulge anything further, Esther covered his mouth with her hand.
Their squabbling helped dispel Pearl’s earlier annoyance, and she even found it somewhat amusing.
“Alright, stop fighting. It’s okay now.”
Esther released Tyler, then proudly remarked, “Nob*dy ever holds him accountable. That’s why he’s so
spoiled.”
Tyler wanted to refute her words, but a stern glare from Esther silenced him.
“So, Pearl, what brought you here today?”
“Oh, I’m just here for a drink.” While talking, Pearl had become quite sober.
“I heard about the issues with the Waldorfs from Tyler. Don’t overthink it. I know you’re not that kind of person, and I’ll always stand by your side!”
Esther’s words touched Pearl deeply but also filled her with a sense of bitterness because even Esther had unwavering faith in Pearl, while Richard…

Shaking her head, Pearl wondered why she recalled that issue again.
“Oh, right. Why did you come here today? Aren’t you afraid of being recognized?”
Tyler immediately chimed in, “She’s here because of that Waldorf kid. She follows him around like a fan. If her fans find out she’s stalking a man like this, she might lose them.”
“Mobius?” When Pearl said that name, she could see Esther blush.
“Pearl…”
“Tell me why you’re stalking him here.”
Embarassed, Esther struggled to explain herself.
Unable to bear it any longer, Tyler said, “I invited him here because it’s my birthday today, but I’ve got
plenty of young women around. She’s worried that some woman might steal him away, so she tagged along.”
