Chapter 154
Mart watched belplessly as the red statue broke into two halves on the ground. Its head and body were separated.
In an instant, he felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart.
Clarissa vas still in shock, but she patted her chest indifferently. "It's all your fault for being so loud"
She wanted to coax Mart, but she swallowed her words in fear when she saw the dark expression on his face. She changed her expression in time and looked at him timidly, I'm sorry, Mart. I didn't mean it."
""Get lost"
Marc's voice was extremely cold. I don't want to repeat myself"
"Marc... Clarissa gently called out to him.
1. n. "Is this thing very expensive? I
I'll get someone to carve
carve another one fo
for you.
Mare slowly bent down and picked up the broken statue. His entire body stiffened when he heard what Clarissa said.
He straightened his body and looked at Clarissa with a deep gaze
A chill assaulted Clarissa's face, causing her heart to tremble violently. She subconsciously took a few steps back.
For a moment, she really thought he was going to hit her.
Marc would have made a move and tom her into pieces if she wasn't a woman.
"Carve a new one?"
Marc's voice was cold. There was an indescribable iciness in his tone. "Do you know who carved this! You wouldn't be able to pay me back even if 1 sell you." Clarissa's face immediately turned red.
In the past. no matter hour angry he was, he had never spoken to her in such a derogatory tone.
What was going on today!
Was it just because she broke something of his
*Marc..." Clarissa continued to pester Marc Marc suddenly raised his voice. "Where are the guards Where the hell are they?"
The security guards had been waiting outside, not daring to barge in rashly. One of them answered. "Sir."
"Get her out of here
Marc ordered coldly, "Consider yourselves fired if you let any unrelated people in next time."
Yel sir
The security guards were anxious. Without another word, they brought Clarissa out of the room. Clarissa could not believe what was happening and kept struggling "Mare, how could you do this to me..." The servants watched as Clarissa was chased out like a stray dog. They were all dumbfounded.
They had guessed wrongly. It seemed that Marc's first wife was better.
Marc called Thomas, who had just arrived home, over and instructed him on three things.
Fint, he had to find someone to repair the broken statue.
Second, he was to book the earliest fight tomorrow to Nanston
And third, he had to prepare Pearl's birthday gift.
Thomas acknowledged the order and left. Marc looked at the table full of dazzling gifts. His heart was fluctuating and there was a myriad of cronticen in luseyrs
time going to Nanston. He did not believe that he could not win her heart brk.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Pearl was almost 25 years old. She felt that she was not young anymore and should start to take care of her body
She had to develop the habit of sleeping and waking up early.
Usually, it was her biological clock that woke her up in the morning. At the very least, she would be woken by an alarm clock. However, today, her phone seemed to have gone crazy and kept ringing early in the morning.
She opened her eyes lazily and grabbed her phone to take a look. They were all blessings for her birthday.
The higher-ups, managers, and assistants of the Woolery Group had sent private messages to congratulate her. The employers in the company's group chat had also copied and pasted these messages and sent them to her. The birthday blessings came in waves, overwhelming her.
It had been three years since she had seen something like that. She was not used to it.
Pearl frowned and sighed softly
It was a sweet burden. She was most afraid of something like that. S She had wanted her birthday to pass as quietly as possible, but she could not escape the commotion
It had been a long
g time since there was any movement in the family group chat
A few of her relatives had already sent her messages in the family group chat, flooding
the screen with their well wishes.
Happy birthday to my daughter! May every year be more blissful than the last. I've written you a cheque, and I'll get Huber to give it to you later. I
He even left a warring, @Hubert Rascal, don't take it for yourself!]
Hubert silently rolled his eyes. [
[Olay]
Johnathan wrote. [You're only giving out a cheque? You really are a businessman. You stink of money and are too insincere. Pearl, I've prepared a gift for you and asked Noah to send it over. Nash, kid, don't forget! Noah replied. [Got it. You've been nagging me over 100 times. I'm on the way]
Timothy sent. [Is our little lazy eat still sleeping! Be quiet and don't disturb her. Little lazy cat gif]
me a meow when you wake up and 171 give you a
Henry replied, [Dad, you're so naughty. Be careful not to let the lary cat turn into a wild cat and scratch you.
Marron added. Give you a meow! You're already so old. Don't you have any shame? Peal, ignore them. My sports car is already in place. I'll get Quentin to drive it over to you!)
Quentin replied, I'm driving it. Lazy cat, give me a meow too later]
Shelby wrote, [..]
As did Oliver
Marron said, [Shelly, you took the time to type the ellipsis. Why don't you say something? Oh, I forgot, you don't know how to type. Hahaha!] Shelly retorted. [Shut up!] Oliver replied, It's not Shelly: It's Shelby. Thank you
George wrote, Oliver's handwriting is quite smooth. Not bad, not bad. You've improved. Shelby, you should learn from him.]
Shelby wrote. [..]
As did Oliver.
Pearl
rl did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw the 90+ notifications and the rounds of verbal bandes. She was wide awake She sat up and ac
d accepted the gifts in the group. Then, she started to reply to the messages one by one.
Thank you for your blessings. I love you guys I
Then, she cleared her throat and pressed the voice button. [Meow. Timothy.l
Timothy replied, Hahaha, you sound great!
In the rod, the others lisagreed and wrote. [Why should he be the only one who gets t
gets the meow? No. I want it tooII
Pearl was utterly speechless as she thought. "Why are these fathers so difficult to cuas? They're like three-year-old
She could only meow at them one by one with her hoarse voice.
Then, there was a burst of laughter in the group chat with her siblings. They all started mocking her.
Pearl narrowed her eyes and got out of the family group chat. She opened the group chat with her siblings and sent an emoji of a fire-breathing baby. The effect was minimal, so she also attached three kitchen knife emojis. Only then did her siblings stop for a while, Hubert had a strong desire to live. As the administrator of the group, he quickly changed the name of the group chat from "Woolery Siblings" to "Pearl is the Best".
Pearl was satisfied and forgave them.
Just as they were chatting happily, there was a knock o
on the door. Lindsay's sweet voice came from the door. "Pearl, are you
awake?"
"Come in."
Lindsay chuckled at Pearl as soon as entered the room. "Pearl, happy birthday!"
Pearl was amused by her. "Thank you."
Lindsay gave Pearl the gift that she had spent a few days preparing. It was a hairpin with a phoenix design that she had personally designed. It was made from purple gem and it flowed with a purple light whenever it was turned slightly. The body of the hairpin was like a phoenix and it was extremely classical and beautiful. Pearl loved it "This was carved by Master James from Woolery Jewelry, right?"
Lindsay nodded. "Pearl, you sure are perceptive. You could tell at a glance. Master James is very busy and he couldn't spare any time at first. I begged him for a long time. He was only willing to help me after I said that I wanted it as a birthday gift for you. He did not even take my money. So, this is also considered his gif."
Pearl raised her hand and rubbed Lindsay's head. "I like it very much. I'll accept it"
The two sisters got up, freshened up, and went downstairs to eat. However, they stopped in their tracks when they reached the stairs. The living room was filled with gifts, and there was not even an empty spot on the floor for them to place their feet. Pearl could not help but hold her forehead as she thought, "Did Shelby move an entire castle over?"
