Chapter 242
Everyone in the company knew Pearl and remembered another woman showing up and saying Pearl stole her husband, but it all ended up being a joke.
This time… This woman was crying so sadly. It really looked like she was cheated on.
As the crowd watched, Pearl remained composed, appearing unfazed by the situation. The woman continued crying for a while but eventually noticed the spectators, prompting her to stop and stand up.
“You stole my husband, and now you’re just going to stay quiet? Are you feeling guilty?” the woman questioned Pearl, her voice tinged with sorrow.
Pearl saw how sad she was and knew this person wasn’t trying to cause a scene for the sake of it. Her husband probably really
cheated on her.
“Please tell me who your husband is,” Pearl said with a sigh. It seemed she had to get into someone else’s family business
again.
“He’s one of the key employees at this company, the head of the tech department, Chandler Klein!” The woman provided her husband’s name, but her revelation was met with laughter.
“Why are you laughing? What’s so funny?” The woman had a weird way of speaking and didn’t seem to be well-educated.
The employees began gossiping among themselves.
“I never knew Chandler was married.”
“He’s lying to his wife. That’s funny.”
“His wife is eating up his lies. That’s pretty sad.”
Pearl took a deep breath and asked, “Are you really married to Chandler Klein?”
The woman’s voice rose as she defended herself under questioning. “I’m not lying. I can show you our marriage certificate if you don’t believe me!”
“No, that won’t be necessary. I believe you.” Pearl shook her head. “But I want to make it clear that I don’t know Chandler. I don’t even have his number saved.”
The woman couldn’t believe her ears. “That’s impossible. I saw it. One night, he came home drunk, and your name was on his phone. I saw you replying and calling him ‘honey.’ Are you denying this?”
Pearl raised her brows. “Did you confront him then?”
“Of course not! My husband is a hardworking man. You must have seduced him. You started texting him every time!”
Pearl was amused. “I’m telling you the truth. I don’t even know Chander. Ma’am, you should ask the people here if I have anything going on with him.”
The woman froze and saw how people were looking at her mockingly. She didn’t back down. “I don’t care. They’re in on this too. I won’t believe any of you.”
“In that case,” Pearl continued, “please explain to me why I would want to seduce your husband?”
The woman raised her chin proudly, listing her husband’s positive attributes, “Because he’s exceptional, good-looking, has a great personality, works at this prestigious company, and has received a lot of awards. It’s only logical that women would fall for him.”
Pearl gently tapped her chin, deep in thought. “Well, based on what you’ve said, he does seem quite outstanding.”
“Of course!” The woman’s confidence drew another round of laughter.
Pearl maintained her composure and asked, “Do you know who my boyfriend is then?”
The woman was oblivious to the sarcasm, looking into Pearl’s eyes. “Who’s your boyfriend?”
