Chapter 14
After finishing his work, Hubert returned to the bar and found that Pearl was not around. When he looked closely, he noticed a red figure jumping around on the
dance floor.
As Pearl walked into the dance floor, she became the center of attention and the focus of the party. Men surrounded her, cheering and whistling crazily.
“My goodness…”
It had been many years since Hubert last saw Pearl act so crazy. Under the upbeat
music and mesmerizing lights, Pearl was spinning and jumping on the dance floor in
a red dress, swaying her body. Her attractive, curvy figure was impossible to hide.
Next to her, a man watched Pearl for a while as he drank his alcohol. He then passed
the bottle to the person next to him and slinked onto the dance floor to engage in
intimate dancing with Pearl. His hands moved smoothly from her waist to her
buttocks.
“Oh my goodness!” Hubert couldn’t bear to see Pearl being harassed, so he immediately stepped onto the dance floor as a burst of exclamation sounded.
Pearl was faster than him. She grabbed the man’s wrist swiftly and flipped him over her shoulder. She then raised her hand and slapped him hard, saying, “How dare you touch my bottom. You must have gone insane!”
Besides the vibrant music, everything around went silent. Everyone stood there dumbfounded, staring at the woman who was just now dazzling and suddenly
turned into a menacing and evil creature.

“What? The dancing expert is actually a fighting expert!” they said inwardly.

Pearl was intoxicated and wanted to kick the man. She was stopped by Hubert, who
carried her off the dance floor and set her down on a bar stool. Extending his hand,
Hubert tapped her forehead and said, “Are you here to cause trouble?”
“Hubert,” said Pearl, gazing at him with a blurry look, “was I sexy just now?”
Hubert sounded annoyed. “Yes, you are! You didn’t see the way those men looked at you, like wolves eyeing their prey, wishing they could swallow you whole!”
“Then, why doesn’t Marc like me?”
Pearl had been drinking and letting her guard down. Her once strong and determined expression now appeared desolate and sorrowful.
“You know what? In fact, I have no big ambitions. My biggest dream is to meet someone I love and be a virtuous wife and a good mother. Unfortunately, he doesn’t cherish me. I have been married to him for three years and have been a loyal wife for three years. But he has never touched me or looked at me in the eye. Where did I go wrong?”
Hubert looked at Pearl, feeling very heartbroken. He reached out and touched her head. “Nonsense. My little sister is the best girl in the world. If he doesn’t treasure you, it’s because he doesn’t deserve you.”
“Yes, he doesn’t deserve me.”
Pearl lifted the corners of her mouth. “From now on, I won’t change myself for a man. I will return to who I truly am. A brave, independent, and proud Pearl Woolery.”

“Does it hurt?”
