Chapter 46
The woman looked scared. “L..”
Pearl smiled kindly. “You should check things first before giving such an accusation, Miss.”
People were shocked because Angel, the famous jewelry designer, was actually Pearl from Waldorf Enterprises. Everyone was taking pictures. This piece of news was as shocking as Pearl’s suspected plagiarism.

“I see.” Hugo’s smile turned into a grin.
