Not only was there a palm print on Tina’s face but there was also bruise at the corner of her mouth.
When Pearl pinched Tina’s wound, it hurt so much that Tina frowned. Tina pushed Pearl’s hand away and spat out the Turbid smell of alcohol. It’s none of your business!”
Of course, Pearl could not be bothered to care about Tina. She leaned against the door leisurely and watched Tina vent her
anger.
Tina glared at Pearl with red eyes.
“It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t humiliated Manfred in front of many people tonight, he wouldn’t be in a bad mood. If he wasn’t in a bad mood, he wouldn’t have hit me.”
Tina touched the left side of her face. The pain and numbness ll not completely passed,
Tonight, Manfred had almost spent a lot of money on Pearl. Tin was extremely jealous, When the auction ended, Tina had made a few jealous remarks. However, in the end, Manfred did not coax Tina like usual and slapped her.
When Manfred hit Tina, she was stunned. Her ears buzzed for long time, and she could not come back to herself for a long time.
Manfred’s face was filled with anger. “Have you said enough? You’re constantly complaining to me about this and that! Do you have the right to be jealous of Pearl? You should take a look in the mirror yourself. What do you have that can compare to her?”
Tina felt pain and grievance.
But more than that, Tina was afraid.
From a young age. Manfred always followed Pearl around, trying to please her. Tina had to put in a lot of effort to make Manfred give up on Pearl and be with her.
What if Manfred went back on his word and refused to marry Tina
At the thought of this. Tina panicked.
Pearl really did not understand Tina’s logic. Pearl crossed her arms and frowned. “Let’s not talk about whether I embarrassed Manfred tonight. He hit you because he was unhappy. Instead of fighting back, you come to me to vent your frustrations?”
“I was looking for you!”
Tina pointed at Pearl and complained. Tina’s eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred. “You’re very smug, aren’t you? So many men are fighting over you. You must be very smug, right? Mr. Males from Machodean and Mr. Lucas from Beaudale are both scions of wealthy and influential families, well–known igures. No wonder you don’t have any interest in Manfred. It seems like you’ve encountered other men outside. Did you spend these three years away just having fun with them?”
Pearl quietly looked at the enraged Tina. She could not help but recall hearing those gossipy women badmouthing her in the banquet hall. One of them mentioned Tina.
There might be a reason for the rumors. As expected, the rumors about Pearl were spread by Tina
It seems that you didn’t listen to a single word of my warning today”
Pearl rubbed the space between her eyebrows. She didn’t bother to argue with Tina. Pearl called Emily–over. Th I don’t have time to deal with you. You should calm down and sober up first.”

Chapter 12
Pearl turned around and said to Emily, “Get her to kneel by the toilet bowl and send two people to watch her She can throw up and rinse her mouth if needed, but she’s not allowed to get
Emily received the order and called two bodyguards to come up They then brought Tina to kneel by the toilet bowl
“Let go of me!”
Tina struggled with all her might, but she could not break free from the two burly men no matter how hard the tried. She knelt by the toilet bowl and only shouted a few words before her stomach churned and she vomited
Pearl did not care about Tina anymore. She put on the noise–canceling earplugs and went to sleep
Tina vomited and then had another bout of agitation.
The two bodyguards dutifully served Tina for the entire night. They patted her back and poured water for her, but they strictly followed Pearl’s instructions and did not allow Tina to get up
Tina knelt by the toilet bowl for the entire night. As she knelt, she miraculously fell asleep.
In Suite 66 at the Beverland Hotel.
When Mare walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair, Lucas entered without invitation. Marc was sitting on a bar stool and carefully examining the four bowls on the bar counter.
“Are these really enameled bowls from 1700s?”
Marc grunted and went into the kitchen to pour two glasses of water.
Lucas couldn’t see the charm in these bowls and shook his head, saying, “Just for these four bowls, you managed to upset Pearl so much. I’m really worried for you.”
Marc drank half a glass of water and did not think much of it.
“What’s there to worry
about?”
When Lucas saw how calm and composed Marc was, he cursed in his heart, “How annoying
Lucas suppressed the anger in his heart and asked patiently, “Letne ask you. Why did you come all the way from Machodean to Nanston?”
“For business,” Marc replied in a matter–of–fact tone. “Aren’t we planning to collaborate on opening a horse ranch together?”
Lucas nodded. “That’s right. Do you know who we’re working with
Mare was still indifferent. “It doesn’t matter.”
Marc came to Nanston because he had an ulterior motive. Opening a horse ranch business was just a side event for him. It was the same no matter who he worked with.
Looking at Marc’s nonchalant attitude, Lucas could not bear to tell him the truth, and he raised his eyebrows mischievously.
Looks like you didn’t investigate it at all before you came. The land in the northern suburbs of Nanston belongs to Woolery Estates. Last year, it was bought by Ralph and Errol for a huge sum of money. They wanted to build a golf course…”
Before Lucas could finish his sentence, Marc frowned. “Woolery Estates
Wasn’t that a real estate company under Woblery Group?

Lucas thought that Mare finally understood. “It’s normal that you don’t know. In the second half of last year, you were busy developing the market in Azurehaven and didn’t participate in the bidding. Our family was busy with internal strife and didn’t care.”
The land in the northern suburbs could be taken over by Ralph and Errol because they were lucky.
However, it was also because of this that the two of them had almost used up all the capital of the Woolery Group. The subsequent capital chain was not connected, which almost caused the Woolery Group to go bankrupt.
Marc pursed his lips. “So, it was Pearl’s idea to transform the golf course into a horse ranch?”
Lucas snapped his fingers. “Congratulations, you got it right!”
Marc didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Marc silently looked at the four golden enameled bowls. He recalled what Pearl had said before be left. “I hope to see you for the last time, Mr. Males.” He immediately felt that they were no longer good.
The next morning, after washing up and changing, Pearl came out of her room and went to Tina’s room.
Tina lay on the edge of the toilet bowl and slept soundly. She was even drooling.
Seeing this, Pearl could not help but shake her head.
Tina ended up falling asleep by the toilet, which was quite unusual and baffling.
For some reason, Pearl felt there was an inexplicable harmony between Tina and the toilet, perhaps a case of birds of a feather in an unusual context.
“Miss Pearl, good morning,” The bodyguards bowed and greeted Pearl.
Pearl nodded slightly. “You’ve been tired all night. Go back and rest. I’ll give you guys a day off today. Last night counts as overtime for you both, so go to Emily and get the overtime pay
The bodyguards were overjoyed. “Thank you, Miss Pearl!”
Their joyful voices successfully woke Tina up.
As soon as Tina opened her eyes, she cried out in pain. She felt her face hurt, her head hurt, her neck hurt, and her knees hurt… From top to bottom, from head to toe, there was no place that did not hurt.
What had Tina experienced?
Tina rubbed her neck and looked at her surroundings. Tina had not completely understood the situation. Why am I he
“You seem to have some memory lapses. Do you need me to help you remember?”
