Chapter 78
1/2
Angry and with a livid expression, Rebecca almost lost control of herself.
The photographer replied awkwardly, “Ugh… this is a live show, not a recording ”
“Hurry up and turn it off. Didn’t you see how angry Miss Rebecca is?”
Rebecca was startled when Pearl suddenly addressed her by name. Realizing that the show was still live, she quickly composed herself. “I apologize for my error during the live broadcast. I’m not pleased with myself either. I hope everyone can forgive me. Okay, let’s end it here. Miss Pearl, thank you for your cooperation. See you.”
After that, Rebecca signaled to the photographer to turn off the camera.
At that moment, Pearl stretched and said lazily, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work.”
“Wait, Pearl. You humiliated me on purpose!” Rebecca’s gentleness disappeared, replaced by fury.
Shocked, Pearl couldn’t figure out why Rebecca was shifting the blame onto her.
“You should know exactly why I said those things, Miss Rebecca.”
Sneering, Rebecca refuted, “Oh, you’re not that dumb. I’ll drop the act since you’re aware. This is your final warning. Stay away from Hanzel, or I won’t let you off lightly.”
“Hanzel and I are just friends. You’re overthinking, Miss Rebecca.”
“Cut the crap! Just stop pretending. Friends don’t make romantic videos together. Listen carefully. You’ll regret it if I catch you trying to get close to Hanzel again.”
Unperturbed, Pearl glanced discreetly at the camera and casually mentioned, “By the way, I forgot to tell you. It looks like your camera isn’t turned off.”
Rebecca froze upon hearing this. She turned to see the blinking red light on the camera, and the color drained from her face rapidly.
This meant that everyone had heard her previous words. They were now aware of her feelings for Hanzel and her threats to Pearl
Rebecca moved closer to the camera and switched it off, then turned to glare at Pearl. “You did it on purpose, didn’t you? You wanted to see me make a fool of myself. You knew that it wasn’t turned off, didn’t you?”
However, Pearl smiled without a reply.
Even though the camera was no longer broadcasting, many people had a rough idea of what had happened.
Besides, a lot of people watched the interview because of Pearl’s popularity. Consequently, Rebecca’s reputation was ruined.
[Hey, this is Rebecca O’Brien, the gentle and sweet host you love. Tsk! Seeing is believing!!
[Oh my! It turns out she’s quite scheming. How sickening!]
[Just stop. I’m very disgusted. How could she like Hanzel? Hanzel would never fall for her.]
[But didn’t you find Pearl very cool? She said she didn’t need money. How awesome…]
Feeling deeply humiliated, Rebecca couldn’t bear to stay any longer.
Pearl, on the other hand, didn’t take Rebecca’s threats seriously. Seeing that, Rebecca wiped away her tears in frustration and ran away with her photographer.
Observing Rebecca’s departure, Pearl shook her head with a helpless smile and then proceeded to the president’s office with a document in hand. She needed Richard’s signature on it.
“Richard, 1-” Pearl stopped talking when she saw Richard’s phone on the table, showing the previous live show.

She smiled brightly. “You watched my interview. Do you care about me that much, Richard?”
Richard exited the live show and replied, “It just popped out.”
“Oh, your phone has a sense of timing, Mister Richard.”
Smiling profoundly, Pearl asked, “Well, what do you think of my reply, Mister Richard?”
