Chapter 110: White lotus? No!

Helena raised an eyebrow. [Oh? Interesting!]

Vernon looked at her. What is interesting? He did not understand.

[I thought she is just another b*tch trying to seduce Vernon by acting like a white lotus. Looks like she is on the offensive side, huh?]

Vernon blinked his eyes when he heard her thoughts. ’Huh? Pearl was seducing me? Was that what’s happening here?’ He was dumbfounded.

He felt that her words were weird when she talked to Helena but before that he did not notice any of such intentions from Pearl. She had always acted professionally in front of him.

With this sudden piece of news, he started recalling all the incidents when he met Pearl. He tried to recall all their interactions carefully but sadly he couldn’t remember them at all.

Why would he remember what he conversed with a random celebrity in his company? At most she was the best artist working under him. She was talented enough to score the position of the spokesperson of the entire Jeffery industries.

But, so what?

Why should he care about her words and actions when she was with him?

As long as she did her work well and let him earn money, he would be satisfied with her and that was what she did.

’So, did she really flirt with me before? Or is it just Helena’s doubt?’

He thought for a second but then decided that it did not matter.

No matter what, keeping her at a distance would solve all the problems. Why should he waste his brain cells to deal with this random artist who could be considered a complete stranger to him?

With that thought, he relaxed and did not say anything. He just moved a step away from Pearl and inched closer to Helena.

Helena smiled at Pearl and answered, "Oh, that could be true. Or not. I don’t know how he behaved with the others. But as Vernon’s wife and Jeffery’s family’s daughter-in-law, he would, of course, act closer. Right?"

She smiled as she slowly hooked her hand with Vernon’s arm, acting intimate.

Pearl’s smile froze for a second when she heard her words. She understood what Helena was trying to tell her.

She was saying that no matter what, she was now Vernon’s wife and Jeffery family’s daughter in law while she was nothing. So, no one would look at her.

Neither Vernon nor the Seventh prince.

Pearl secretly clenched her fist, but on the surface, she did not lose her facade of a polite star.

She nodded, "I see. So, that’s how it is. I thought you both had a more special bond."

"Special bond? Haha. What sort of special bond could be formed in a single meeting?" Helena said that but the image of Merlin’s face appeared in her mind.

[Well, not everyone could be like Brother Merlin, right?]

After talking for a while earlier, they decided that it was good for Helena to address Merlin as Brother Merlin. Vernon heard her thoughts and felt that she was right.

Special bonds like these are very rare to find.

Pearls’ lips twitched but decided not to say anymore. If she had a debate with Helena in the open, it wouldn’t be good for her image or her position as an employee. She had to be more careful with her words and actions compared to anyone else around her.

She excused herself and let the couple be.

"Did I disturb your plans with her?" Helena looked at him and asked once she was completely out of their sight.

"What plans?" Vernon looked at her and asked in doubt.

"Are you playing dumb with me now?" Helena removed her hand from his arm and scoffed.

[Hmph. Why is he acting? If he had an interest in Pearl he could have told me directly. Well, then again, I don’t think he had the ability to lie either. So, he really didn’t think of Pearl in that manner?]

She felt a little conflicted.

Vernon felt like a thunder just stuck his heart. He never even knew that pearl had other intentions with him and now he was being accused of having feelings for her? What wrong had he done?

His lips twitched as he explained, "At most, I meet her once a year or twice. That too under formal events like today. What plans could I have with her, huh?"

"Oh? Aren’t you her boss? Why wouldn’t you meet her more often?" Helena asked with an eyebrow raised.

Veron clicked his tongue. "What are you talking about? She is an artist. Even if I am her boss, why would I have to meet her? If she needed anything, she could talk to her agent. If she has any problem, her agent will take care of it. Even if I have to get involved in any incident, I will do it through the agent. Why would I have to meet her? I never knew you could be so dumb."

He even flicked her forehead. He suddenly felt like he was smarter than Helena and felt a little sense of pride. He puffed up his chest and raised his chin proudly.

Helena looked at his expression and twitched her lips. She pouted her lips and rubbed her forehead, "So, there is nothing between you two?"

Vernon shook his head without the slightest hint of hesitation. "What could I have anything with her? If you said I had something with her agent or my assistant, I might even have to rack my brains to explain something. But her? Tsk." He clicked his tongue once again.

Looking at his haughty expression, Helena laughed out loud.

As they were walking, they saw Hubert and called out to him, "Uncle Hubert."

"Helena. I was searching for you," Hubert saw the couple and walked towards them immediately.

"What’s wrong, Uncle Hubert? Is everything alright?" Seeing his hurried steps, Helena was worried and asked.

Hubert shook his head and spoke, "I think I realized where I saw the man you introduced to me earlier."
