Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 809

"You should get your brain checked. Why do you have such unrealistic fantasies?" Pearl smiled, giving Silas a pat on the head, but her hand accidentally brushed against his wound. Silas winced in pain. "You don't have to hurt me if you don't want to take care of me."

Pearl burst into laughter. "I didn't mean to hurt you."

Seeing that Silas seemed okay, Pearl didn't feel too worried. "Just rest here for a few days if nothing comes up. I'll arrange for someone to take care of you."

Silas snorted. "I don't need that."

"I'll punch you until your concussion gets worse if you say that again." Pearl waved her fists.

"How violent," Silas muttered.

"Alright, I'll head back to the company now if there's nothing else. I have some matters to attend to."

Silas covered his head with the blanket and turned away. "Just go. Don't dilly-dally."

Pearl rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

Once she arrived at the company, she called Hugo to apologize. She felt responsible since one of his streamers had gotten into an accident while at her place.

Hugo didn't dwell on it much and chuckled. "No need to apologize. You can treat me to a meal if you want."

"What? You want cash instead? Sure, how much do you need?" Pearl played along, wearing a grin.

Hugo sighed, realizing that it was futile to argue with her. He changed the topic. "But Silas has caused me quite a bit of trouble."

Pearl became confused. "Silas just got into an accident. How did he cause you trouble?"

"Your streamer and my streamer appearing together in public has caused Estrella a lot of problems. Haven't you seen the news?" Hugo pointed out.

Pearl hadn't checked the news yet, as she had rushed to see Silas earlier. She quickly looked up the news and realized that their car accident had become a trending topic. Some onlookers had taken photos a the scene, capturing their faces by chance, and those photos had gone viral.

The headlines were quite sensational.

[Former lovers spotted together after a car accident. Are they rekindling their romance or just a passing encounter?]

[Is their past love story doomed? Answers may lie in the aftermath of the accident.]

[Two top celebrities involved in a car crash. Is their love dying?]

Pearl pursed her lips. "Alright, I've seen it. I'll have our PR team handle it. We won't let it affect Estrella's life."

Hugo said nothing but chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Pearl wondered what had gotten into him.

Hugo composed himself and spoke seriously, "I just feel that signing a contract with Estrella was one of the best decisions I've made."

Pearl understood his meaning but chose to ignore it. "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Wait." Hugo lowered his voice, "I have some information about Aunt Beah. Would you like to hear it?"
