Chapter 298

“Your life seems quite tough,” Pearl teased Willow, and the latter’s expression soured, However, with

Blake present, Willow restrained herself, fearing that her behavior might attract attention from eligible

bachelors in Bodgow.

“Miss Pearl, if there’s nothing else, can I… can I leave?” Willow asked, sensing that the situation had

come to an end.

Pearl thought there was no point continuing this, so she nodded and let her leave.

Blake decided not to press the matter further since Pearl wasn’t upset. “Fine, you can go. Remember to

walk the other way the next time you see my cousin.”

Though Willow gritted her teeth so hard it seemed her gums might bleed, she suppressed her anger.

She forced a smile, nodded, and then left.

After she had left, Pearl couldn’t help but laugh.

“She spent all her money, and yet you’re so happy. Have you no compassion?” Blake couldn’t resist

taunting her.

Pearl didn’t mind, responding as she scrutinized him from head to toe, “You did a great job too. You

were the one who suggested taking all her money, Mister Unethical Businessman

Blake rolled his eyes. “I did this for you. Were you just going to let her walk all over you and leave?”

Pearl froze, then smiled and said, “So, are you showing concern for me now?”

“Who? If you weren’t a Jordan, I wouldn’t be protecting you,” Blake asserted stubbornly.

Deciding not to engage in further banter, Pearl changed the topic, saying, “I got a dress without even

spending any money. Let’s head home.”

However, Blake seemed to remember something. “Don’t you want to get more? Grandpa wanted you to

be able to fit into this social circle, so you can’t go home just yet. I’m taking you to a wine tasting.”

“No, I’m not interested.”

“I helped you earlier, so you owe me one. Are you trying to get out of it?” Blake challenged.

Pearl glared at him. “That’s not how you get people to repay you.”

“I need a plus one. Let’s go,” Blake insisted. “And why did you come out without any makeup on?” He

had to admit that even without makeup, Pearl outshone countless women.

“Is there a powder room around here?”

The staff immediately replied, “Miss Pearl, we have a powder room and a changing room. You can

change into that dress you just purchased, and you’ll be the belle of the ball at the wine tasting.” The

staff had a silver tongue and was quite shrewd.

Pearl smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”

She proceeded to the powder room for makeup while Blake waited outside. During his idle time, he

decided to open his social media app, only to be met with a barrage of pointless

discussions.

“Blakey!” A cheerful voice called from behind.

Startled, Blake turned around to find a fair woman standing before him.

“Blakey, what are you doing here?”

Blake didn’t immediately recognize her but found her face vaguely familiar. “You are?”

Tahila Shaw stood there awkwardly. “I’m Tahlia Shaw, Blakey. Don’t you remember me? We met at the

bar…”
