Silas had reached the end of his patience. "Letmake this clear one last time, she's not an outsider. She's your future cousin-in-law."
"Fine, you're going to marry her, right? Let's see how good she is at winning you over."
Yelena took a deep breath and walked toward Pearl. Swiftly, she grabbed Pearl's chin.
Sensing that things were going wrong, Pearl stepped back and instinctively tried to slap Yelena.
Being someone who had received training, Pearl didn't hold back in her slap. As a result, Yelena's cheek swelled, and the sudden force caused her to
stumble and fall to the ground.
Yelena touched her burning cheek, aware of the red mark left by the slap. She had never experienced anything like this before, and Pearl had

Instantly, Yelena lost her temper and shouted, "Silas, did you see what she did to me? Do you have to tolerate her unruly behavior?"
Pearl realized that her slap had been quite forceful. She raised her hands and cast a sidelong glance at Silas. "Do whatever you want with me."
Silas frowned and appeared somewhat anxious.
Pearl thought he might retaliate, teaching her a lesson or at least defending his cousin Yelena, who was now in distress. After all, Yelena was his
cousin, and Pearl was just an outsider. He would naturally side with his family.
But to her surprise, Silas grabbed Pearl's wrist and pulled her closer. After seeing her reddened palm, he gently blew on it, as if trying to soothe the
pain. "Are you okay? That slap looked pretty hard. Did you hurt your hand?"
Silas's concern for Pearl made Yelena, who was on the ground, appear even more ridiculous and pitiful. "Silas, are you out of your mind?"
In the past, Silas had been indifferent to everyone except Yelena. He had always been patient with her.
But after encountering Pearl today, Yelena realized that the so-called special treatment had been a way for her to deceive herself. She felt like a fool.
"She's my girlfriend and future wife. She's going to be part of my family. If you want to label anyone as an outsider here, it's you." Silas spoke
confidently. "I treated you well because you're my cousin. But if you're rude to the woman | love, | won't let it slide.”
Although Silas delivered that statement with a smile, his fierceness frightened Yelena.
Yelena couldn't comprehend why Silas, who had always acted recklessly, had suddenly changed so drastically. It frightened her.
While Silas was defending Pearl, Pearl couldn't help but discern the underlying message he was conveying: she was going to be his girlfriend. If

So, she cleared her throat. "Don't pay attention to his nonsense. We're not in a relationship.”
However, her words didn't seem to register with Yelena. She saw them as very intimate, and Silas disregarded her due to his affection for Pearl.
"Stop, you wicked woman!" Yelena was still a teenager, and she covered her eyes as tears welled up. "Listen carefully. Silas's ex-girlfriend is coming
back. Esti won't let you get away with this!"
Pearl had no idea who Esti was, but she sensed that Esti must be quite formidable since Silas immediately straightened up upon hearing her name.
But it had nothing to do with her. Silas was not Richard, and Esti was not Jenny. It couldn't disturb Pearl's composure any longer.
Pearl leaned over and gazed into Yelena's eyes, offering a reassuring smile. "Don't draginto your . I'm not playing a part in your love
triangle."
