Confused, Silas tilted his head. "What are you talking about? | don't understand.”

Pearl sighed, realizing she needed to spell it out for him. "Celine was wearing a ring with a hidden camera. She might have wanted to record your

ttogether. And yes, | splashed water on her hand to ruin that plan. You didn't catch on to her scheme?"

Enlightened, Silas said, "So, you did it to stop her from recording us?"

"You catch on quick," Pearl remarked with a snort.

"Did she want to make us look like a couple while we're trending?" Silas grimaced, feeling repulsed by the idea that Celine might have wanted to

manipulate their image for social media.

He hurriedly wiped his hand with tissue paper, wanting to rid himself of any trace of contact with Celine.

"Be more careful next time. Celine isn't as naive as she appears,” Pearl warned, her tone serious.

Silas reluctantly agreed, feeling chastised by the experience. Then, a thought occurred to him. "Will she work for another company instead?"

Pearl's expression darkened. She hadn't considered that possibility. If Celine left, there was a chance she might end up at Hugo's company.

She didn't care if Celine would resign or not. She was merely concerned about Hugo's ulterior motives and might make a move again.

"What's on your mind?" Silas asked.

Pearl rolled her eyes at him. "Kids shouldn't be busybodies."

After chatting briefly with Silas, Pearl left.

Then, an unexpected visitor arrived.

Silas was taken aback to see Richard, Pearl's enigmatic ex-boyfriend, standing in his hospital room.

"I don't believe we've met, Mister Richard. Are you here to see me?" Silas greeted him cautiously. Aware of Richard's history with Pearl, he wasn't

inclined to be friendly.

Richard looked at Silas calmly. "I'm just here to advise you not to get involved with her."

Silas didn't have to guess that he was talking about Pearl. "And why should | listen to you?" He laughed, finding his behavior strange. "You're her ex,

with no current ties to her. Why cand challenge me? Who do you think you are, huh?"

Richard remained composed while fixing his wristwatch. "You're young, and I'm warning you out of respect for Mister Elijah. But know this: Pearl is

not someone you can pursue.”

Undeterred, Silas stood up to face Richard, who was as tall as him. "Well, | happen to fancy her."

Their confrontation was tense, their eyes locked in a silent battle.

"Then be prepared to face the consequences." Richard maintained his cool demeanor.
