Chapter 152 Will I Always Compromise?
Oscar remained silent.
Oscar didn't respond, but his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and his face looked very cold.
"Pearl, to divorce, you're pretend to be miserable. You should be an actress."
A deep and sarcastic voice echoed in Pearl's ear.
Pearl couldn't believe it. "Do you think I am pretending to be miserable?"
Pearl had been with Oscar for so long. Even if there were no feelings, through their daily interactions, Oscar should have understood Pearl's character.
Yet Oscar said such things!
Pearl was very disappointed in Oscar, "Think whatever you want. Ours is but a contractual marriage. I am my freedom, and you have no right to interfere."
Whether to become an actress was Pearl's freedom.
As for the poisoning incident Haley mentioned, Pearl had to prove her innocence.
"Mr. Brown, are you going to drive? If you don't plan to drive, then I'll get out." With that, Pearl reached to open the car door.
But the door was locked by Oscar's central control.
Oscar said coldly, "Buckle up."
Since Oscar intended to drive, Pearl didn't say anything more.
Soon, Oscar drove back to Serenity Haven Estates.
Most of her clothes were not on the here, and there was nothing much to pack here. The clothes were all new that Oscar had Harold bought it for her.
Then Pearl thought she didn't know any detectives or police officers, so Pearl directly called 911, pulling out videos of leaving the Brown family, getting into the car, and entering the hospital.
She also contacted the manufacturer for gift identification.
It turned out that the gift had not been opened a second time.
In other words, Haley was the first to open it.
However, before Pearl could present these verifications to Oscar, the news of Haley's poisoning had already spread all over the internet, including the surveillance of the gift Pearl sent.
Moreover, footage of Oscar going to the police station to bail out Pearl had also been released.
Netizens were hotly debating. [So, Pearl poisoned Haley to monopolize Oscar's affection?]
[The fights among the wealthy are truly terrifying!]
[Two women together always lead to trouble, that's no lie.]
[But to be fair, the truth can't be hidden.]
[This isn't just about a man; it's about wealth! It's about money!]
[Haley was a famous singer before. It seems something happened, and Oscar specifically opened an entertainment company for her. Pearl trying to push Haley out might be a bit difficult!]
[You can't have both money and fame!]
[But you can compromise for money. Just negotiate properly. ]
Pearl couldn't tolerate these slanders, so she didn't show these things to Oscar but directly displayed them online, with only one sentence: [I do not accept any slander!]
After seeing Pearl's evidence, the netizens immediately reversed their stance. [So Pearl is innocent, and the one acting is Haley?]
[Oscar's new entertainment company surely knows how to pick actresses. Haley's acting is so good, she almost fooled all of us!]
[What's the name of Oscar's entertainment company again? Stellar Entertainment?]
[Everyone, take note. Haley is Oscar's key protégé. We must avoid Stellar Entertainment at all costs. If Haley gets jealous, the ones who will suffer will be us, not her!]
[This scheming and plotting could be made into a movie. It's truly incredible!]
Pearl paid no attention to the comments. She knew that once the evidence was out, her innocence would be proved.
Since she was staying at Serenity Haven Estates, Pearl had left some things there.
She took what she needed and left the rest.
There wasn't much, so Pearl quickly packed up.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Oscar, who was staring at the items in her hands with a dark and cold expression.
"I was going to show you those things, but the comments were too unfriendly, so I had to prove my innocence." Whether Haley really framed Pearl or was genuinely poisoned and misunderstood Pearl, it didn't matter.
Pearl had now proven her innocence, and the rest had nothing to do with her.
Even if Oscar was angry, there was nothing he could do.
Oscar paid no attention to the online chatter; he hadn't even glanced at the comments. What caught his attention were the items in Pearl's hands and the words she had just spoken.
"Pearl, don't challenge my bottom line here."
Oscar said coldly.
Pearl thought he was defending Haley and responded coldly, "How is proving my innocence challenging your bottom line? Just because it involves Haley?"
Pearl had proven her innocence, and netizens believed Haley was acting. But that was their opinion, not something Pearl instigated. It had nothing to do with her!
Oscar's dark expression said it all.
Although Pearl felt hurt, she knew she and Oscar would part ways sooner or later.
And she was clear about one thing - the pain would only be temporary.
Oscar's thin lips pressed into a straight line. He took the small bag of items from Pearl's hands and said coldly, "Go back to your room."
Oscar was not allowing Pearl to leave!
Pearl was particularly emotional, "I made it very clear in the car. We are only in a contractual marriage. Beyond that, we have no other ties."
In other words, Pearl wanted to leave, and Oscar couldn't stop her.
The next second, Pearl reached for the items in Oscar's hand. "Oscar, I'm actually doing you a favor. If you can put aside your pride, our divorce won't be public knowledge. No one needs to know."
Even if Haley knew, she wouldn't be foolish enough to expose it. Moreover, Pearl and Oscar's divorce would be good news for Haley.
Oscar frowned. "Are you determined to divorce me?"
"Yes."
Pearl didn't hesitate.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.
And with the child in her belly, Pearl didn't want to her child be entangled with Oscar . This was her child, and she didn't want to involve him.
Pearl looked up at Oscar, her voice calm and cold, "Oscar, let's settle this in court. Otherwise, we'll end up tearing each other apart in the end."
Pearl could already foresee that scene.
Oscar laughed. "Do you think I would allow that to happen?"
Pearl threw the question back at Oscar. "And do you think I will always compromise?"
