Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 760

"We're not close, so why did you come over to say hello?" Pearl replied dismissively before walking away.

Coincidentally, Esther had finished discussing the script with the director. Ignoring Winona's ever-changing expression, Pearl approached Esther and handed her a bottle of water.

"Esther, I noticed you've been talking for a while. You must be thirsty. Here you go."

Esther looked at Winona and then turned to Pearl. "Pearl, do you two know each other?"

Suddenly, she recalled that Winona was Richard's fiancee. After a pause, she started criticizing Winona, "Listen, she's quite pretentious and has been causing trouble because she invested in this film. If she hadn't paid a lot, the director would have kicked her out by now. She can't act and is always causing issues."

Pearl didn't bother to dispute Esther, as she could tell that Winona was just messing around. But she was uncertain about the exact reasons behind Winona's antics.

"I don't know what Richard likes about her. She's not even that pretty," Esther complained.

Pearl nodded in agreement, thinking that Winona could only be considered ordinary in the entertainment industry. Her background might have been above average, but Pearl couldn't fathom what Richard found appealing about her.

Esther added grumpily, "You're really patient. If it were me, I would have scolded her."

Pearl teased her, "Why? You're a woman, yet all you want to do is seek justice." She playfully tapped Esther's nose.

Esther grabbed Pearl's arm and swayed it, acting coquettish. "You've been so busy that you haven't spent time with me. I'm free tonight. Let's grab a meal together."

It was a classic period film in which the heroine was portrayed as a sensitive woman. However, due to her gentle nature, she was often mistreated in the household.

In this particular scene, the second female lead, who was a second wife, intended to bully the heroine. It was the part where the second female lead slapped the heroine, who resisted and was ultimately pushed into a river.

The early autumn air carried a chill, and Pearl couldn't shake off a sense of foreboding.

Winona glanced at Esther and smiled gently. "I apologize in advance. I'm not sure how hard the slap will be. Let me know if it hurts too much."

Esther reassured her, "Don't worry, it's okay."
