My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 174

Mare did not speak loudly. However, what he said was enough to stun not only the staff at the hotel’s front desk but also the guests who had just walked in for dinner.

Their eyebrows twitched, and they stopped in their tracks. What arrogance.

It was common for women to be given bags, bracelets, and necklaces by their suitors. It was uncommon to hear of women being gifted properties. Marc certainly must be rich.

Moreover, it was a property in Nanston. The price tag would be hefty,

However, Pearl asked coldly, “Are you insulting me?

Her reply took everyone by surprise.

How was that an insult?

An insult would mean nothing if one could receive a property for it.

That sort of humiliation would be worth it.

Marc frowned. “That’s not what I meant.”

When Mason saw Pearl frowning, he knew that she was already on the verge of losing her temper. He was afraid that things would escalate if they stayed any longer, so he quickly helped Pearl away. The elevator is here. Hurry up and go in.”

Niamh stood behind Marc and sighed. “Mr. Males, I’m curious. Why did Ms. Woolery marry you?”

She could understand why Pearl had behaved that way in front of Marc. He did not understand women at all.

Thomas glanced sideways at Niamh. Although she might have spoken truthfully, he still wanted her to be more careful with her words. After all, Marc was their boss. She had to respect him.

Niamh was not afraid at all. Anyway, Ms. Woolery had already openly poached her. If she got fired, she would go and work with her old classmate. She heard that Woolery Jewelry’s remuneration package for employees was attractive. She could even be around Master Marlene. How blissful that would be!

Marc was not angry at being ridiculed by his subordinate. Instead, he frowned and said in a low voice, “Am I that bad?”

Pearl’s reaction made him doubtful of his appearance and character for the first time.

Did Pearl dislike him that much?

Mare wanted to know.

Pearl slept soundly. She had drunk too much the previous night and had a slight headache when she woke up in the morning. She was slightly surprised to see a thermo flask filled with honey water being placed on the bedside table.

When did Mason become so considerate?

She rarely drank anything outside. When Hubert was young, he was almost kidnapped with a bottle of coke. When he came back, he was beaten up for not being careful enough. Pearl saw how Hubert was beaten. From then on, she was traumatized and did not dare to have drinks offered by strangers whenever she was outside.

She called Mason and asked him about the honey water.

Mason denied it. “I didn’t put it there. Lindsay just told me that you get a headache when you’re drunk and asked me to make you a cup of honey water, I was planning to go to the supermarket to buy honey for you. Could it be that the hotel prepared

The corners of Pearl’s mouth twitched. “Do you think the hotel would go to such lengths

Mason pursed his lips and decided that it was unlikely.

Ten minutes later. Pearl drank the honey water that Mason personally made for her. Not only did her stomach feel much better, her headache seemed to ease a little as well.

Mason reported his investigations early in the morning. I checked the hotel’s surveillance cameras first. The hotel staff. delivered the honey water. I also asked the hotel’s room service staff. They said that the guest of Room 711 had instructed it. Mr. Males is staying there.”

In short,T Marc had prepared the honey water.

“Mr. Males is quite considerate”

Mason could not help but praise Mare. However, he was met with Pearl’s cold gaze. His smile immediately disappeared

Pearl proceeded to speak. “Someone took advantage of the fact that I was drunk and unconscious to enter my room. You still dare to laugh.”

She added coldly, “Do you prefer me to risk dying?”

Mason’s heart skipped a beat. He almost knelt in front of Pearl on the spot. “I was wrong. Ms. Woolery. I didn’t do my job well. I’ll go and have a meeting with the bodyguards outside now! I promise there won’t be a next time!”

He had always been very good at apologizing. On account that he went to buy honey for her early in the morning, and most importantly, on account of Lindsay, Pearl did not continue to argue with him. She decided to let him off.

However, she found Marc’s attentiveness annoying.

He seemed to have said that he wanted to buy a house for her the other night.

Why would he think that she would be willing to stay in the house he bought?

Did she look like someone who lacked a house to live in?

What a joke.

As expected, they saw Marc and the others downstairs.

They would probably continue to annoy her if she did not make things clear.

Pearl ignored Marc and beckoned to Niamh. “Miss Collins, get in my car. Let’s have a chat.”

Niamh was overjoyed. After asking Mare for permission, she eagerly got into Pearl’s car. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

The car drove off. Pearl had to return to Nanston within the day. However, she had some tasks to complete first. She also had to bid farewell to Caleb first. She had some time in the car to speak to Niamh

Niamh got into the car and expressed their intention to work with Pearl. She also said that she knew that the appearance fee for Master Marlene was not low. As long as Pearl was willing, they could accept any price within a reasonable range.

Pearl said calmly. “Let me be clear. Woolery Jewelry and Males Jewelry are still competitors. Master Marlene is already affiliated with the Woolery Group, so it’s not possible to work with the Males Group. I don’t have that much time and to help advertise for Males Jewelry”

When Niamh heard what Pearl said, she was disappointed.

Pearl continued to speak. “I will give you all some advice. It’s up to you guys whether you want to listen or not.”

She would think of her advice as a repayment for the favor she had previously received from the Males family. Niamh was humble. She nodded and said, “Please go ahead.”

“The reason why you all wanted to work with Master Marlene was for publicity. Instead of looking for me, why don’t you look for another gemstone expert? Master Marlene isn’t the only famous gemstone expert in the country.”

Pearl’s voice was calm. “One more thing. Please go back and tell your boss that the most important thing in the jewelry industry is still design. All publicity gimmicks are not as important as the products‘ designs. There’s no point in monopolizing

the idustry alone. Woolery Group still hopes to get along well with Males Group and achieve a win–win situation.”

Niamh relayed Pearl’s words to Marc when they met a

again.

Marc’s expression was solemn.

How could he not know that Males Jewelry’s design department was not performing? Their designs had long been outdated. However, it was not easy to reform it. Even Pearl could see their problem. If he did not carry out any reformations, people would only hear of Woolery Jewelry and not Males Jewelry in the future.

He would be embarrassed to stand before Pearl.

Pearl went to the hospital again after leaving the production set. Marc followed her like a shadow. It was impossible to shake

him off.

She turned to look at Marc. Just as she was about to flare up. Connor suddenly rushed out of the ward. When he saw Pearl, he said anxiously. You’re here! Go and take a look at my brother quickly. I don’t know what’s going on, but his leg keeps hurting.

Before he could finish his sentence, a group of people walked out from the other side of the corridor. When they saw Pearl. they went up to her.

“Dr. Grace, we’ve finished reading the information on the patient with paraplegia that you asked us to look at previously. The situation is similar to the surgery you did three years ago in Machodean. When should we meet to discuss it?”

Mare was shocked.

Two different conversations had just occurred. They were all directed at Pearl. The details of the conversations struck Marc’s head like two bolts of lightning.

Grace

She was Grace!
