After Silas left to prepare, Pearl made a phone call.
"Feather, any updates on the investigation into my mom?"
"Aunt Beah is really good at hiding. I've searched all over the country, but there's been no sign of her."
Pearl felt uneasy; she sensed it was more complicated than it seemed. After a moment of thought, she suggested, "If you couldn't find her on land,
have you considered searching at sea?"
Feather immediately understood. "Alright, I'll start looking into maritrecords."
After hanging up, Pearl calmed herself down and got ready to introduce Silas to Celine.

Celine was a beautiful and intelligent woman who often seemed like a fairy, and Pearl loved that about her.
When Silas got a look at Celine, he scoffed, "That's it?"
Celine extended her delicate hand to shake his, but his comment left her momentarily speechless.
"He's always had his way, please forgive him, Celine." Pearl glared at Silas, who scratched his head and didn't look like he cared.
"It's just an observation. She looks rather ordinary," Silas remarked.
Celine, who had always been adored by thousands of fans and considered a princess, had her eyes well up with tears when she heard his words.
"How could you say that, Silas?" Pearl looked annoyed. Silas was usually mild-mannered, so why was he being so harsh today?
"Am | not allowed to speak the truth?" Silas retorted, his gaze traveling over Celine from head to toe before shaking his head. "I'm sorry, Miss Celine.
If my words upset you, | hope you can forgive me. I'm just being honest."
While his words seemed apologetic, they sounded like he was still attacking her. Celine's eyes teared up further, her voice filled with sadness. "I don't
think | can work with him, Miss Pearl."
She had seen Silas's streams before and had found him handswith a friendly personality and excellent gaming skills. What's more, she had
heard he cfrom a good family.
Celine was just an ordinary girl, apart from her looks. It had been easy to develop a crush on someone like him. However, seeing him act this way
had extinguished the positive feelings she once had.
"Whatever. Since Celine herself said she doesn't want to work with me, we should just cancel this."
Celine's tears finally fell, as if she was the one who was in the wrong.

"Calm down, Celine. Lettalk to him," Pearl said, then grabbed Silas by the ear and pulled him out of the room.
"What are you doing?" Pearl crossed her arms, irritation evident in her posture.
"I told you | don't want to work with any woman other than you," Silas replied, rubbing his reddened ears. "Why are you forcingto work with her?
You have so many male influencers in the company, why does it have to be me?"
"Celine is the second most popular influencer after you. If you collaborate, our viewership will skyrocket," Pearl explained.
Silas pouted. "I don't care about that."
"You don't care, but | do. If you won't collaborate, then resign."
That was her last straw!
