Chapter 127 She Wants to Resign
Oscar said, "Pearl's inquiry is also for Haley's good. When she is the protagonist of this matter, it's not a simple issue. There's a lot of discussion online, and many people will question it. There are plenty of people asking more than Pearl, so we need to find a way to shut them up!"
Haley is a public figure. If she is kidnapped and harmed, it's not as simple as when an ordinary person is injured.
Even if it's an ordinary person, it would still be reported.
When Haley becomes the focus, the discussions are not just ordinary public opinions.
Haley knows that things will escalate, and she will definitely make headlines.
But if she doesn't do this, Seraphina will give birth to Oscar's child!
Haley won't allow any other woman to have Oscar's child.
Apart from Haley, no one else can!
If Seraphina only loses the child, that's fine. Haley knows that Oscar won't like Seraphina, she's just a substitute.
But Seraphina has too many fantasies, even wanting to replace Haley's position.
Haley won't let Seraphina have her way.
However, things didn't go as planned.
Haley still dreams of walking the red carpet and receiving praise from everyone.
She wants Oscar to see her beauty.
By becoming a big star, Haley can also become Oscar's wife, gaining both fame and love. All that remains is a good reputation.
Unfortunately, before that time comes, an explosive topic in the social news has caused a stir.
Haley has been the subject of many heated discussions.
She can be considered the queen of topics.
However, none of those controversial topics were serious.
Before Haley could catch up on the news, she only saw Oscar frowning, looking unhappy. Haley said, "Oscar, have I caused trouble again? I'm sorry. I didn't expect this to happen. If I had known, I wouldn't have let her in. She would still be alive, and I would be fine. I regret it!"
Haley started crying again.
"Haley, this has nothing to do with you. It's Seraphina who's too wicked. "
Oscar didn't say much, just said, "Rest well, heal your wounds, and put your work aside for these two days."
"No!" Haley refused. "I want to walk the red carpet, even if I'm injured, I want to walk."
Haley looked at Oscar, saying, "There's already a topic now. If I walk the red carpet with my injuries, it will create a buzz. Oscar, you have to give me this chance."
Haley is an ambitious person.
The entertainment industry is highly competitive, with many beautiful, talented actors.
If Haley wants to climb higher, she must work hard and also be lucky.
Of course, Haley will seize the opportunity.
"If your injuries are almost healed by then, we'll consider it!"
Haley smiled again. "Okay, I'll take good care of myself."
Haley is currently an artist at Oscar's entertainment company.
Pearl has heard and seen a lot of news. Although the company has signed many artists, Oscar started this company for Haley.
Since Haley can't sing, she wants to act, and Oscar fulfills her wish.
When this is known, people think Oscar is very affectionate.
Pearl stood outside, took out her phone, and checked the calendar.
In a few more days, Pearl and Oscar will go to court to get their divorce decree.
"Pearl."
Hearing her name, Pearl looked up.
Haley stood in front of Pearl, seeming to have something to say.
Pearl closed her phone and asked, "What's up, Haley?"
Haley was afraid that Pearl might have negative thoughts. She said, "Mr. Brown visiting me in the hospital is just the boss checking on the employee, nothing more. You know that I am the company's artist and have fame. The company is just starting, and there are many new artists signed. Mr. Brown has to visit, don't think otherwise."
At least in Haley's view, Oscar and Haley's interactions were normal.
They always maintained boundaries, even though there were rumors about Oscar and Haley having feelings for each other.
But Haley didn't think so.
There might be things Haley didn't know, but it definitely wasn't about love.
Pearl smiled, saying, "Haley, why are you suddenly telling me this? Don't you know? That day you were there too. Oscar and I are going to divorce sooner or later."
Explaining to Pearl was pointless.
Oscar started the entertainment company for Haley, which already surpasses everyone else.
Haley knows this, but still feels that Pearl and Oscar's marriage isn't as shallow as it seems. "Can I ask a personal question? Don't mind, do you want to divorce Mr. Brown?"
When asked this, Pearl hesitated a bit.
In the past, Pearl didn’t want a divorce.
After being devoted to Oscar for so many years, Pearl certainly hoped for a happy marriage with him.
But reality doesn't allow it.
Pearl can't avoid reality and engage in meaningless actions.
Harold saw Pearl lost in thought, guessed most of it, and said, "You don't want a divorce either, right? Actually, Mr. Brown, he..."
"I want a divorce!" Pearl suddenly spoke up.
Harold was stunned for a moment, unable to speak.
Pearl said firmly, "I was just checking the date earlier. In a couple of days, it's the appointed day. We will go to court together then, as Mr. Brown and I agreed."
"Harold, I don't want our marital status with Mr. Brown to be public. Don't tell anyone, okay?" Pearl smiled casually, saying, "What comes in silence, goes in silence, to avoid any impact on anyone. Mr. Brown is also a public figure. It could damage his image."
Harold wanted to comfort Pearl, but it turned out she didn't need it, leaving Harold unsure how to respond.
"I know."
HaroldHarold still wasn't used to Pearl and Oscar divorcing, feeling quite uncomfortable. "But, before, Mr. Brown admitted that he was married. He did it for you to avoid any impact."
"That's true, but no one knows who his wife is. Next, it's probably you."
Pearl looked into the ward, seeming to have seen Oscar and Haley's deep interactions over the years.
"But Mr. Brown admitted he was married in front of so many people just to dispel the rumors, right?" Harold remembered that at that time, there were many rumors about Haley and Mr. Brown's relationship, causing a lot of discussion. People thought they were together, so Mr. Brown said he was married to stop the rumors from spreading.
Men's preferences are straightforward.
Denial means he doesn't like Haley.
Oscar also didn't want to give Pearl the wrong impression.
"Maybe, but that's not something I should worry about." Pearl put her hands in her pockets. "By the way, Harold, there's something else I want to tell you."
"What is it?" Harold asked.
Pearl hesitated for a long time before making this decision. She had already taken care of things before returning to her hometown.
Pearl said, "After the divorce, I may not work at the Brown Group anymore. It's been pleasant working with you for so many years. I've already submitted my resignation letter to the HR department. Today is probably my last day at work."
