Chapter 54
All of a sudden, everyone turned to look at Pierre.
Pierre, of course, had also heard her voice but he was just stunned slightly before returning to normal.
And this almost imperceptible stun was noticed by August.
Kimberly shifted her gaze from Pierre to Chase and then to the woman at the door, like everyone else.
She was secretly rejoicing. “Chase’s ex–girlfriend is here! Angela, better enjoy it while you can!”
It was not until she felt that everyone was looking at her that she realized the woman might not be Chase’s ex–girlfriend, but the legendary… Miss Burke
While Kimberly was still speculating, Hugh had already brought his companion to Pierre.
Hugh said, “Pierre, learn a thing or two from Chase. Look how popular he is!”
Pierre glanced sideways at him and asked the woman beside him, “When did you return home?”
The woman replied with a smile, 1 came back today. It happened that there’s a party here, so I came to join in the fun.”
Although they didn’t call each other by name, anyone could tell that they were pretty close.
The woman put down her hand on Hugh’s arm and said to Kimberly on the side, “You must be Miss Simpson. Thank you for taking care of Pierre for me all these years.”
Kimberly’s face turned paler. She thought, “What… what is she talking about? Take care of Pierre… for her?”
Kimberly felt her head spinning.
Chase broke out of the crowd and came over. “Pearl, shouldn’t you come back next month? Are you trying to blindside us?*
“It’s a surprise!” Pearl Burke said with a bright and charming smile.
The brighter her smile was, the paler Kimberly’s face turned. She wondered, “Miss Burke is back! How can she come back before I figure out how to
deal with her!
No wonder Pierre asked me to move out of Rose Garden several days ago. No wonder he wanted to break up 5 with me
It’s all because of this woman!”
At such thought, her eyes turned red. She looked at Pierre with wet eyes, like a puppy that was about to be abandoned
Pierre handed his arm to Kimberly and said emotionlessly, “Let’s find a place to sit.”
Kimberly’s eyes lit up, thinking. “Pierre still cares about me! Humph! So what if they’re childhood sweethearts?”
She took Pierre by the arm and they left together. Her lackey George nodded at Chase, Hugh, and the others before leaving with Kimberly.
Hugh didn’t look well as he didn’t expect Pierre to be so disrespectful.
Pearl was still smiling, but he could tell that her smile had become stiff.
Hugh quickly changed the topic. “Chase, where is your rumored “girlfriend?”
Chase looked around and finally found her in a corner of the banquet hall.
“Shouldn’t we go and say hi?” Hugh asked.”
Chase smiled like the rising sun in spring. “You already said she’s my rumored girlfriend. Never mind. She’ll be shy,”
Pearl felt these words were actually a way of Chase protecting the girl. She thought, “A playboy, who has dated so many love, knows how to cherish a woman
1 had been gone for too long.”
A sense of melancholy rose from the bottom of her heart. But she had never admitted defeat easily.

“As long as Pierre is not married, no, as long as I’m not married, I will win him back!” She swore to herself.
Feeling the emotional fluctuation of Pearl, Hugh could only continue to tease Chase. “Chase, are you worried about your position as the Tervais Heartthrob!”
“The Tervais Heartthrob is nothing to me. My goal is to become the Darsonas Heartthrob. Chase also cracked a joke.
He had no intention of pulling Angela into his circle as she was just a pawn of his, nothing more.
Today’s auction would be streamed live and the proceeds would go to charity. So Dobson Rooney, the top planner of the TV station, came in person
The host of the event was Claire Luther, a pillar of the station. The two of them led the team through the last rehearsal and could finally sit down and rest
Dobson also saw Pearl, wondering. “Why is she back!”
He was familiar with her.
The Burke family, the Louise family, and the Wilbur family lived close to each other and their friendships dated back to the grandfather generation.
Therefore, the younger generations frequently hang out together, including him, a nephew who had been eating and drinking in his aunt’s house all year round.

the youngest, so all her friends doted on her.
Pearl was the only girl in their group and she was
Dobson remembered that Pearl had once insisted on playing house.
Chase, the oldest, said disdainfully. “That’s for little girls“, but he still led his friends to play the game with her.
The little boys all wanted to be her groom but Pearl picked Pierre. Unexpectedly, Pierre who had been aloof since childhood refused!
Dobson smiled, thinking, “Maybe Pearl has taken a fancy to Pierre at that time”
Claire secretly pulled the sleeve of Dobson and whispered. “Which woman are you peeping at”
Dobson turned to look at her and raised his eyebrows slightly. Jealous!”
He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he got up and dragged her toward the emergency exit.
As soon as they got there, Dobson turned around, pressed Claire against the wall, and started kissing her. His hands were also everywhere.
Claire seemed to enjoy his aggressive kisses very much. She responded earnestly after a light moon. The two bodies were soon tightly entangled together…
Dobson’s phone rang at the wrong time. (You’ve got a call! You’ve got a call!]
Only then did he let go of Claire, whose clothes had been in disarray, and answered the phone.
“Mr. Rooney, where are you? The live stream is about to start. Is Claire with you!” A colleague’s anxious voice came from the phone.
Dobson glanced at the blushing Claire and said calmly, “Okay, I know. I’ll call her.
Claire glared hard at him with a red face.
Dobson hung up the phone and whispered to her ear, “Come to my place afterwards?”
His warm breath blew on

which was a bit tickling. Claire was about to refuse but nodded shyly in the end.
Dobson sucked on her soft lips again. Then, he took his phone and pretended to make a call while walking out of the emergency exit. He motioned for Claire to come out later.
In fact, Dobson looked down on Claire in his heart. To him, she was the kind of woman who indulged herself in prostitution while boasting about.

her chastity. Her lofty attitude was nothing but a performance to a certain audience.
But he liked her body, so he was willing to give her the best resources to help her rise from a nobody to a pillar of their TV station.
Of course, he wouldn’t marry her. It was impossible for him with such a family to marry a girl without any background.
He thought. “Perhaps this is also the reason why Pierre hasn’t married Kimberly.”
But he did not quite understand why his cousin refused the marriage with the Burke family. No matter what. Pearl was better than Kimberly in
every aspect
“Could it be true love?” he wondered
Dobson shook his head. He thought, “How could Pierre, a cold–blooded man, love anyone?
If he really loved her, he would have married her long ago
But, is there still true love in the world?”
