Chapter 148 Today Mr. Brown Is Not Seeing Anyone
Seeing this, Hathaway couldn't stay calm; her anger skyrocketed.
Hathaway immediately signaled to the bodyguard beside her, "Keep an eye on Oscar and Pearl."
If Pearl was detained, Oscar wouldn't ignore it.
And indeed, that was the case.
Oscar had already rushed to the police station.
Pearl, Janetta, and Stella were all detained in the same interrogation room. Stella could leave as long as someone bail her out.
Stella had deliberately requested to be in the same room with Pearl and Janetta so that they could saw her leave while they couldn't.
But unexpectedly, Pearl was bailed out first, by Oscar, the CEO of the Brown Group!
Oscar, dressed in a smoky gray shirt and black trousers, stood tall at 6.17 feet. His entire demeanor was imposing, and the sharpness in his eyes was hard to ignore.
The moment Oscar appeared, everything became clear.
No matter what Pearl was to Oscar, at this moment, it was clear that Oscar cared about Peral.
Even Pearl hadn't expected that Oscar would come in person.
Pearl didn't dare to look at Oscar.
Getting into a fight and ending up at the police station was so undignified!
"Was it you who said Pearl was flaunting with a card?" Oscar squinted, his gaze falling on Stella, and his brown eyes filled with pressure.
Stella didn't even dare to meet Oscar's eyes, and she spoke nervously, "Mr. Brown, it was just a minor misunderstanding between Mrs. Harris and me."
Oscar put on a faint smile, which grew colder and colder. "And you ended up at the police station?"
Stella choked, unable to respond.
Oscar was a tycoon in Willow Creek, a business mogul.
If Stella said something wrong and got targeted, or if her family got involved, it would be a disaster!
Janetta couldn't stand Stella's behavior and immediately mocked her, "You were arrogant when you tried to snatch clothes from me in the mall!"
Stella felt a surge of resentment.
Stella could only apologize, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Pearl, Janetta, can you forgive me?"
Stella immediately bowed her head to Pearl and Janetta.
Everyone knew that Stella was bowing to Oscar.
Oscar's smile remained, "Do you think you can get away with it after ending up at the police station?"
Stella knelt in front of Pearl, hoarsely pleading. "Mrs. Harris, I know I was wrong. Tell me, what do I have to do for you to forgive me?"
Janetta was disdainful.
Pearl hadn't wanted things to escalate to this point, but Stella's words were too much, provoking Janetta to slap Stella. In a way, Janetta was avenging Pearl.
Friendship is mutual.
"Forgiving you is easy. You must never go against Janetta again, and you must post and go live to clarify everything," Pearl said coldly.
Oscar was here, she might as well use his influence.
This was also Pearl's way of helping Janetta one last time.
Stella noticed that while Pearl was saying these words, Oscar didn't say a single word, clearly respecting Pearl's intentions.
Stella had no choice but to agree, "Alright."
Pearl added. "A verbal promise isn't enough. Write an agreement stating you won't go against Janetta."
"Alright."
To avoid being held accountable by Oscar, Stella had no choice but to agree.
In less than three minutes, Stella wrote the agreement and even pressed her fingerprint on it to ensure its authenticity.
However, when she handed it to Pearl, Pearl gestured towards Janetta, "The promise is to Janetta."
Stella had no choice but to hand it to Janetta.
Janetta glanced at it; Stella had written it quickly. Unexpectedly, Oscar added. "Halley, get someone to detain her for a few days for publicly stir up the media!"
"Alright."
Halley quickly responded.
Stella was dumbfounded. She wasn't just a fashion designer but also a somewhat famous painter and the daughter of the Egan family. If she were detained for a few days, she would become a laughingstock in her circle.
"Mrs. Harris, please plead for me. Don't detain me. I am truly sorry. I beg you!"
Oscar gave Pearl a look.
Pearl took Janetta's hand and followed Oscar out of the interrogation room in front of Stella.
Stella was detained for three days. Meanwhile, Halley hired people to delete the negative comments online.
After leaving the police station, Janetta said to Pearl, "Pearl, since Mr. Brown is here, I'll leave now. I have something else to deal with."
Janetta didn't want to face Oscar.
Staying wouldn't help Pearl and might even make her angrier, so it was better to leave.
Oscar gave Pearl a look, and after Janetta left, Pearl got into Oscar's black luxury car.
At this moment, Halley hadn't gotten in yet, so it was just the two of them in the car.
"Are you hurt?" Oscar asked, taking Pearl's hand, his gentle voice close to her ear.
When Oscar saw Pearl in the interrogation room, he didn't see any injuries on her.
Pearl shook her head and said, "Thank you for your help this time."
Oscar frowned. They were married, and such formal gratitude felt distant and impersonal.
Sensing the tension in the car, Pearl felt a bit nervous. "Do you think there's something wrong with what I said? Or do you think I've brought you negative attention this time?"
The online criticism had been quite harsh.
"What do you think?" Oscar threw the question back at Pearl.
Pearl remained silent, unsure of what Oscar meant.
"Come back to the Brown Group with me first." With the police station incident, Hathaway would definitely cause trouble for Pearl. Following Oscar to the Brown Group was the best option.
Pearl nodded. "Okay."
Whatever Oscar said, she would do; everything was based on his wishes.
Halley returned to the car about ten minutes later. As soon as Halley opened the door, Oscar said, "To the office."
Little did they know, as soon as they left, Hathaway received the news.
Hathaway told her bodyguard, "Prepare the car, we're going to the Brown Group."
But when Hathaway arrived at the Brown Group, the receptionist stopped her. "Mr. Brown is not seeing anyone today."
