Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

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.

“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.
