Chapter 57
With a purple belt of Jeet Kune Do, Angela certainly knew that her wrist was fine.
But it wouldn’t hurt to let a doctor have a look. If she refused, those red marks might seem self–inflicted so as to shift
shift the blame onto Kimberly.
When Pearl saw Angela nod in agreement, she walked over and moved her wrist skillfully. A sudden, sharp p pain came and Angela let out a soft cry.
One of her wrists was dislocated
With a calm face, Pear told everyone her diagnosis result. “Miss Simpson’s wrist was dislocated, so she is in a lot of pain now.”
Angela didn’t expect Pearl would use her profession to play a trick before so many eyes. She thought, “Isn’t she worried that I might expose herr
When Kimberly heard that, she shouted, “No way. This is impossible!”
But before her eyes, Angela couldn’t even hold a tissue with her hand. She wondered, “That’s impossible. That bitch is acting.”
She rushed over and grabbed Angela by the hand. Angela was so painful that her face turned pale.
Seeing that Kimberly was still giving dying kicks, Pearl stopped her in a cold voice. “Miss Kimberly, that’s enough! Can’t you see your sister is in pain! Do you want to have a taste of that as well? I can help you.”
Hearing that and looking at the pale face of Angela, Kimberly finally let go of her hand.
Ronald came over suddenly and said to Angela with a smile. “Miss Angela, sometimes it’s better to take the high road. After all, Miss Kimberly is your sister.”
Kimberly looked at Ronald in surprise. She had never expected that Mr. Tinsley would speak up for her.
Angela had broken out in a cold sweat in severe pain. Her good impression of Ronald suddenly worsened.
She thought, “It’s not you who’s suffering right now. Who are you to ask me to take the high road?
But now, she was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak. She could only roll her eyes at Ronald.
Elsie on the side was unhappy. “Are you blind? Can’t you see Angie is in so much pain! By the way, who are you to speak up for Kimberly?”
I’m a lawyer who values evidence,” Ronald said unhurriedly. He did not feel that he was biased towards Kimberly.
Pearl also gave Ronald a meaningful look. She knew he was a world–famous lawyer and wondered. “Did he see what I did!
But shouldn’t he have been questioning me if he had seen anything? Hrom, there’s only one possibility left. He’s also a pursuer of Kimberly.
It seems that Miss Stone was right about Mr. Tinsley. He is blind”
Pearl ignored their bickering. She grabbed Angela by the wrist again and gave it a push. Just like that, she put the dislocation back in place,
Angela turned her wrist in a hurry and found that she was able to move it as freely as before.
She remembered somebody once said. “Doctors are the people you want to offend the least.” It indeed made sense. And she wanted to add. “Don’t become a tool of doctors either.”
After a while, Angela caught her breath and said to Ronald coldly, “Mr. Big Lawyer, you need evidence? Don’t forget to check the surveillance video
later then.
Chase looked at Ronald unhappily and said, “Mr. Tinsley, I suggest you go back to your seat.”
Hugh had been watching all along. He took the lead in applauding and changed the topic. “Pearl,

The others at the same table also applauded.

guests who didn’t know what had happened all looked over, which made Claire, the host on the stage, a little awky
But as an experienced host, she coped with the situation fast and well.
Even Hugh was swindled by her into performing on the stage.
At this time, a waiter came to Chase with a box.
Chapter 57
Ile súd, “Mr. Louise, the dress)
you ordered is here.”
Chase passed the box to Angela and said, “Angie, go and put it on.”
Angela didn’t know that Chase had bought a dress for her. This man was unbelievably warm and considerate.
Angela took Elsie by her side to the lounge.
Elsie began to comment along the way. “Angie. Chase is not bad. He is careful and thoughtful. I vote for him.
“Are you two in a relationship? What stage are you at now? Have you slept with him?”
Angela could do nothing about Elsie’s gossiping but Chase was no doubt more important in her heart.
Elsie opened the box, inside which was a diamond–studded mint green dress. Judging from the craftsmanship, the dress would cost at least 200 thousand dollars.
While helping Angela change her dress, Elsie murmured enviously, “Angie, Chase treats you so well.
“As far as I recall,
il this
dress is a limited edition. There is only one in the entire Tervais.
“Angie, Pierre is blind. He thought 100 thousand dollars was a lot. Humph! Let’s blind him with this sparkling dress!”
Angela replied sheepishly. “Elsie, the dress I bought only cost me 1,600 dollars.”
Elsie didn’t care. “Then don’t tell them. Even if you bought it at a garage sale, it still looked like a big brand with you in it. Sister, we just have this quality and aura!”
When they returned to the banquet hall, they attracted everyone’s attention.
The mint–green dress made Angela look almost like a fairy. The deep V–neckline, slim silhouette, all the small diamonds glistering under the lights, and the tone–on–tone gauze shawl, all combined to build a curvy and graceful figure, which was so captivating
Elsie could even hear someone swallowing.
Pierre glanced at the woman walking over and was also amazed,
ed in his heart.
“Beautiful! Breathtaking! he exclaimed in 1
But the deep v–line gave him the urge to put a coat on her.
Chase stood up, walked over, and took Angela’s hand.
Pierre narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking. Ts Chase so high–profile because he’s in love? He didn’t even pull off the trending topic!
But she will never become his wife
Pearl beside Pierre felt a chill and looked at Chase as well.
Chase and Miss Angela were walking over together like a perfect couple walked down the aisle, 1 bridesmaid.
Miss Stone
standing next to them looked like a
Pearl believed that many had the same feeling as her.
She thought. “But why is Pierre upset? He has held firmly on to his position as the president of the Louise Group.
Chase has been content with his role as the vice president. Even if someone has not gotten over that car accident years ago, it should be Chase, not
him.
Could it be that Pierre has also taken a fancy to Miss Angela as well!”
Pearl was shocked by this idea. “No way!” She immediately denied it
She knew Pierre well. He was neither a member of good–looks clubs nor a gals–before–pals man. As long as Pierre was willing, he could have as many women as he wanted
But up to now, he had only one woman, Kimberly,
She thought, “Now that I’m back, he will have no other woman, for sure

Chapter 57
After the dinner, the auction began.
A waiter walked from table to table to display the first lot while an auctioneer introduced it on the stage.
“The first lot is a crown which once belonged to a princess of Darsonas royal family. Legend has it that Prince Jasmine wore this crown at her quinceanera in the 17th century. The entire crown is made of 26 ounces of gold and encrusted with 108 emeralds and 210 rubles…
The auctioneer spoke eloquently and the audience exclaimed from time to time.
It was said that Crush had good things
none of them expected to see such a rare lot from the start. All got excited about tonight.
