Chapter 140

Hearing that, Esther looked away. “No, I said that because I happened to see a woman pestering you.”

Mobius insisted, “Just stop. This is my house. Please leave immediately.”

Esther kept her head bowed, never having experienced such humiliation, and tears welled up in her

eyes.

“Stop crying. I can’t stand it when women cry.” Mobius’s frustration grew as he saw Esther’s tears.

Pearl, noticing Mobius’s insensitivity, shook her head and tried to console Esther. “Alright, Este. Don’t

cry. Despite his bad temper and sharp tongue, he’s a good guy. Don’t take his words to heart.”

“It’s the first time someone has humiliated me like this. No, I won’t leave. I’ll stay here,” Esther

declared, preparing to enter the house.

Seeing Esther’s determination, Mobius became flustered. “Fine, stop causing a scene. I’m sorry,

okay?”

Esther stopped crying at his apology. “Really?”

“Yeah, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have offended you. Just don’t approach me again. We’ll be total strangers.

What do you think?”

Total strangers…

However, his words didn’t bring her joy but rather a sense of emptiness. He had apologized, but she

wasn’t sure if that was what she truly wanted.

“I…”

“Okay, just go. Miss Pearl and I have something to do,” Mobius interrupted her.

Esther widened her eyes. “Where are you guys going?”

Noticing Mobius’ impatience, Pearl answered for him, “He’s got to rehearse for a competition at the

university.”

“What kind of competition? Can I help?”

Pearl sized Esther up and agreed, “If a popular star like you joins their performance, winning the

competition should be easy.”

However, Mobius immediately rejected their offer. “No, I don’t want to. I already told you we’re going to

be strangers.

“Are you a coward, Mobius? You’re rejecting me because you’re worried I’ll steal your spotlight?”

Esther, aware of Mobius’s impulsive nature, intentionally provoked him.

As expected, Mobius couldn’t resist rising to the bait, sneering, “Stop flattering yourself. It’s not like

everyone likes you.”

“Then why won’t you let me join your performance? You’re scared, aren’t you? It’s alright. I’m generous

and won’t steal your spotlight.” Esther watched Mobius from the corner of her eye.

Rolling his eyes, Mobius gave in. “Fine, come along. I don’t think everyone will vote for you just

because you’re pretty.” He was indirectly complimenting Esther’s looks…

Esther beamed with delight. “It’s settled, then!”

“Don’t get too excited. It’ll be very embarrassing if you fail to create a great impact, given you’re a

famous

star.”

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Pearl decided to stop intervening. “Alright, I’ll leave you

two to it. I won’t join because I have other plans.”

But Mobius said anxiously, “Miss Pearl, you’ve got to be in this show…”

“Why? My fan base is just as strong as hers. What’s there to be afraid of?” Esther was very confident.

Pearl stifled a laugh and pushed them out of the house. “Alright, hurry to the university for the

rehearsal. I’m going out too.”
