Chapter 173

“You didn’t?” Sean chuckled. “Who else could it be then?”

“Abby.”

Hearing that, Sean laughed sarcastically. “Abby? My mom practically raised her. How could it be her?”

“Whatever. You’ll know when I find the proof.” Pearl didn’t intend to argue further with Sean, knowing

that tarnishing Abby’s image would not be easy.

“So, what do you want then? Are you trying to find evidence to prove your innocence?”

Richard cleared his throat, intervening to quell the impending argument. “Alright, that’s enough. It’s not

Pearl’s fault.”

Sean, filled with disbelief at Richard’s defense of Pearl, struggled to control his emotions. “Fine, I’ll see

how she’ll find her so- called evidence since you believe her.”

With that, Sean snorted and left.

When Richard caught sight of Pearl’s sadness, he tried to comfort her. “Don’t take Sean’s words to

heart. That’s just how he is. He tends to say unpleasant things.”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ll go to the design department now.”

After bidding Richard goodbye, Pearl returned to the design department alone.

When the members of the design department saw her, they were filled with joy at first, but that

enthusiasm soon gave way to an uncomfortable silence.

Baffled by their peculiar behavior, Pearl turned to a close colleague and asked, “What’s going on? Why

does everyone seem

awkward around me?”

Her colleague looked around and lowered her voice, “You see, Miss Pearl, when you left, Mister Sean

had Miss Abby take over your position since Mister Richard wasn’t coming to the company lately.”

“So, Abby is now the director of the design department?” Pearl couldn’t help but feel frustrated upon

hearing that Abby had replaced her again. “Alright, I understand ”

Pearl entered her office and found Abby seated at her former desk, diligently at work.

Abby was rubbing her shoulders while keeping her head down. When she noticed someone standing

nearby, she looked up.

Upon seeing Pearl, she smiled. “Hey, isn’t it Pearl? Why are you suddenly back to work?”

“Yeah, I returned to see who eagerly took my place after I left.”

Hearing that, Abby kept her head down as if she was being scolded. “No, it wasn’t my choice. Sean

asked me to take over your position because he felt that it couldn’t remain vacant. If you’re unhappy

about it, I can talk to Sean and ask him to return the

position to you.

Pearl chucked. “No need, it’s unnecessary. I don’t have the habit of snatching things back from others.”

“Pearl, I…”

A male colleague nearby, seeing Abby on the verge of tears, felt compelled to protect her and rebuked

Pearl, “Why can’t Abby take this position? Are you the only capable one, Pearl? Besides, you left first.

Abby came later to fill your role. She didn’t steal it from you. Why do you belittle her like this?”

Pearl flashed him a smile and distracted him. “Have you ever heard of the story of the blind men and

an elephant?”

For a moment, the man didn’t understand her and wondered what it was.

Abby felt elated when the man defended her, but her joy quickly turned to anger when she noticed the

man being captivated by Pearl. She couldn’t fathom why all the men seemed to fall under Pearl’s spell,

and she longed to disfigure Pearl so she couldn’t enchant anyone else.

“Alright, thank you for your concem, sir. I know that Pearl is just having a hard time accepting it, but it’s

fine.” Abby gently nudged the man’s arm, feigning shyness
