Submitting to My Ex-Wife novel (Pearl and Marc)
Chapter 52

Chapter 52

The online battle of insults had erupted loudly, but it ended silently.

The spectators, who were enjoying the show, suddenly found it cut short.

It wasn't until the evening that Starfield Media released a statement. The statement said, “Due to themalicious comments and harmful discussions incited by several artists, including Mia, they haveviolated their contracts and are being terminated immediately, with no possibility of renewal.”

Mia and the others promptly deleted all their posts. They issued apologies to Pearl and the public,showing sincerity and humility in stark contrast to their aggressive attitude earlier in the afternoon.This unexpected turn of events once again stirred the internet.

Media outlets initially believed it to be a fierce battle between Starfield Media and Woolery StarryMedia, and they were observing the situation, considering which side to support. However, Starfieldhad surprisingly backed down.

Their behavior looked rather unappealing. It was like a clown making an awkward performance.

As for the minor celebrities who had caused the controversy, they had a minimal online presence,and their careers effectively came to an end after the statement was released. Their works wereremoved, and their accounts were suspended. It was evident that their company was sideliningthem.

The situation had escalated far beyond what anyone had expected, and everyone was leftwondering just who this Miss Pearl was.

Many people searched her name out of curiosity, but she had no presence on public platforms. Eventhe Google search yielded no results. It was like she was a mysterious figure that didn't exist.

What was even more peculiar was that, by the evening, all news and comments related to Pearldisappeared from the internet, including the video of the wine incident.

anymore, even after searching through their phones. It was as IT IL Hau

air.

On her way home, Pearl sat in the car and spoke to Hubert through her phone. “Hubert, the onlinetrends shift quickly, and soon, no one will remember me. You've overreacted, and it might raisesuspicions.”

"People can suspect all they want. They won't replace any evidence anyway.”

On the other end of the line, Hubert felt very wronged. “You don't understand. This afternoon, theothers kept calling me one after another, almost driving me insane. They blamed me for notprotecting you properly and making you engage in these arguments yourself.”

Pearl replied, “Engaging in arguments can be quite entertaining.”

Pearl thought it was not a big deal. Looking at the empty WhatsApp group, she couldn't help butwonder. “Why aren't the others scolding me in the group chat?”

"Of course not! They can't bring themselves to scold you!”

Hubert snorted. “We had an agreement. Each of us has our responsibilities, and I'm supposed tohandle things in the online world. You should stay away from these matters. I'll take care of them.There's no need for you to expose yourself. Got it?”

Pearl gazed out of the window with a hint of resignation. “Hubert, I've grown up now. I can protectmyself. You all have your own lives. There's no need to exert so much effort for

me."

“That won't do. It's our duty to protect you. Each of us lends a hand, and together, we can create asafe haven for you.”

Hubert spoke as if it were a matter of course, “Don't think that just because you've grown up, youcan spread your wings and no longer care about us. You're like a little sister to us, and you mustlisten to us and behave, understand?”

Pearl rubbed her head and let out a soft sigh, saying, “I better start looking for girlfriends for you allquickly. Once I get you all married off, you won't be bothering me anymore.”

Some netizens who had saved the video were in for a shock when they couldn't replace anymore, evenafter searching through their phones. It was as if it had vanished into thin

air.

On her way home, Pearl sat in the car and spoke to Hubert through her phone. “Hubert, the onlinetrends shift quickly, and soon, no one will remember me. You've overreacted, and it might raisesuspicions.”

Hubert chuckled and said, “Oliver doesn't even have a girlfriend, so we're not in a hurry. As forQuentin, you don't need to worry about him. He always has a woman by his side, one after another.It's like buying new shoes every week.”

After some casual banter, Hubert added, “Oh, by the way, Henry called me today. He said his shootis almost over, and he'll be back in a few days. You don’t need to worry about Woolery Starry Media.He'll handle it when he comes back.”

“It's good that he’s coming back, but I can also handle things at Woolery Starry Media... Well, let'swait for him to return. I have something to discuss with him.”

Pearl was tired from speaking. “Do you have anything else to say, or can I hang up?”

"One more thing!”

Hubert coughed lightly on the other end of the phone. “Actually, there's something I don’t know if Ishould tell you.”

Pearl frowned. “Cut the crap and tell me.”

“I just received some news. The Males Group had a long-standing advertising partnership withStarfield Media, including sponsoring several of Starfield's productions. They had been workingtogether for a long time. But this afternoon, the Males Group abruptly terminated their partnershipwith Starfield Media. They are looking for new advertisers. Starfield’s owner, Paul, was so worriedthat he immediately flew to Machodean with Damien. I think Marc did all of this for you.”

Hubert speculated on the situation.

“It's impossible.”

Pearl immediately refuted, “You underestimate Marc. He's not the kind of sentimental person you'rethinking of. You've overestimated me. I don't have that much weight in his heart. Perhaps there'sjust some disagreement in their negotiations.”

Hubert said, “It can't be that coincidental. Starfield provoked you in the afternoon, and the MalesGroup immediately canceled their contract with Starfield. The timing was too

accurate.”

Hubert continued, “Also, Damien was beaten up by his father. Even his mask and

sunglasses couldn't cover it. It's obvious that he went to Machodean to apologize. Also, thatapology statement from the Starfield is very sincere.”

She also felt that Starfield’s apology statement had come too quickly, considering their usualshameless behavior. Usually, they would have continued the online feud they had started for alonger period.

This time, they were indeed reacting differently.

Could it be that Marc had intervened?

But why would he do that?

“Listen, what if he has fallen in love with you and wants to make amends and win your back?”Hubert boldly guessed. He said with a teasing tone, “This guy is such a sentimental fool. He didn'tcherish what he had, and now that he's lost you, he’s beginning to regret it. I bet Marc believes inthe “better late than never’ rule.”

Pearl chuckled and said, “Even if he has a change of heart to me, it means nothing to me. There isno second chance for a relationship in my book. I've already moved on and will not look back.”She had already been through heartbreak once. She would not experience it again.

Meanwhile, in Machodean.

“Mr. Males, you see, we had no idea about your relationship with Miss Pearl from the Wooleryfamily. Otherwise, we wouldn't have offended her.”

Starfield Media's owner, Paul, sat on the sofa and smiled apologetically, He tried his best to pleadwith Marc. “My son is ignorant, and it's my fault for not disciplining him properly. You rascal,apologize to Mr. Males immediately!”

With a stern shout, Paul reprimanded Damien. Damien, who had been lounging carelessly

on the sofa, had a bruised and swollen face. His eyes and mouth were tinged with bruises, clearlyindicating that he had suffered quite a bit.

Damien stood up reluctantly. He showed displeasure as he offered an apology to Marc.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Males. I didn't expect you to have a relationship with Ms. Woolery.”

Damien had a chilling expression on his face. He continued, “I'm quite curious, though. What's therelationship between you two? I've only heard about your fiery romance with the daughter of theSantos family. I haven't heard anything about a history between you and Ms. Woolery.”

While Damien was speaking, he touched his aching mouth and revealed a wicked smile.

“You have one ex-wife, Ms. Shepard, and one former fiancée, Ms. Santos. Now, there's Ms. Woolery.Your love life is quite colorful, isn't it?”
