Chapter 359
For the next two days, Dustan inexplicably avoided Pearl, leaving her feeling confused and helpless.
Dustan’s birthday party soon arrived, and it attracted many upper-class attendees due to the Waldorfs’ respected and renowned status in Enswood.
The four young Waldorf brothers dressed in suits, standing in the grand hall, drew the attention of
numerous young women.
“The Waldorf brothers are so handsome. They really have great genes.”
“Indeed. Aren’t you jealous of Pearl? As the Waldorf family’s fiancee, she can have any one of them.”
“But she’s already dating Richard, the most outstanding one among them. The others are still single, though. Doesn’t that mean we have a chance with them?”
“I’ll choose Hanzel. He looks so charming when he smiles!”
Listening to their banter, Pearl turned to Richard and clicked her tongue. “The most outstanding Richard, quite a bold praise!”
Richard, with a calm expression, glanced at her, and his face turned serious. “Is there something wrong with their comments?”
“Well, I didn’t know you were such a narcissist.” But Pearl stopped there because, in all honesty, Richard was indeed outstanding.
Suddenly, the entrance doors burst open, and all eyes turned to a woman in haute couture attire and delicate makeup. Applause and cheers filled the room as she entered.
Jenny, wearing a bright smile, greeted everyone warmly before making her way to Dustan and presenting him with a gift. “Wishing you a long and prosperous life, Mister Dustan.”
The gift she handed over was an exquisite watch adorned with rare gems, a one-of-a-kind piece that was difficult to obtain.
Grinning from ear to ear, Dustan said, “You’re so thoughtful. Thank you, Jen.”
“That’s the least I can do. After all, you treated me like a daughter when I was dating Rick. I’m truly grateful to you.”
Reporters immediately surrounded them, their cameras flashing and recording, as Jenny’s statement was newsworthy. The fact that Jenny, a famous star, had once dated Richard, the eldest son of the Waldorf family, was sure to be a hot topic.
However, the young women in attendance had mixed reactions. Some began to look at Pearl differently.
“Ugh, do you think Pearl is a homewrecker? Jenny is so pretty and graceful. She’s a star too. Everyone adores her!”

Esther was among the group and couldn’t help but interject, “What are you talking about? Pearl is so excellent. How would she be a homewrecker?”
“Jenny is an international superstar with fans worldwide, even in Fuance. Pearl is just known in our country. There’s no comparison, really.’
Furious, Esther refuted, “Pearl is far superior to Jenny in many aspects. Besides, she doesn’t aspire to be a star. If she did, Jenny would be easily surpassed.”
“Yeah, but Jenny was Richard’s girlfriend once, and there hasn’t been any scandal about Richard since then. Jenny is his first love…”
First love was always hard to forget and let go. Even a man like Richard was no exception.
Esther was left speechless and turned to Richard and Pearl for support.
Standing nearby, Richard and Pearl had heard everything. However, Pearl didn’t seem bothered. In
fact, she appeared quite pleased, as if nothing had happened.
