NovelOnlineRecently, Celine's popularity had dipped slightly, but this incident had thrust her back into the limelight.
On one hand, she was eager to spend twith Silas, hoping to earn his admiration by caring for him. On the other hand, she saw an opportunity to
boost her fame.
Naturally, Pearl was not oblivious to Celine's schemes. She promptly turned down Celine's request. "You're quite busy with work. Just stay at the
company. There are people looking after him, so don't worry about it."
Celine's expression shifted rapidly. She forced a smile. "Miss Pearl, I'm not insisting on visiting him, but he's helpeda lot. And | won't visit during
work hours. It'll be after work, so it won't interfere.” Her real aim was to get Silas's address.

Pearl knitted her brows. "As a streamer with millions of fans, shouldn't you avoid any hint of scandal?"
The recent gossip involving the three of them was well-known, and Pearl suspected Celine was well aware of it. Although getting infamous was
considered skind of popularity, it was unnecessary... Besides, Pearl didn't want to make Celine famous.
The smile vanished from Celine's face. "I understand, Miss Pearl."
After their exchange, Celine left, her demeanor subdued, but a flicker of determination gleamed in her eyes.
Later that evening, Pearl realized that she had been cruel to Silas earlier. So, she bought sfood for him.
When she arrived at the hospital, she was taken aback to find Celine sitting by Silas's bedside.
Celine looked equally surprised to see Pearl. Of course, she wouldn't tell Pearl that she had gotten Silas’ address by calling and pestering him that
afternoon.
"Miss Pearl, |..." she began, but Pearl cut her off.
"Just stay if you're here," Pearl said coolly, not giving Celine the chance to explain.
Celine felt awkward and frustrated, but she remained silent, mindful of her status.
Silas noticed the tension and decided to diffuse it by offering Celine an orange from the nightstand with a warm smile. "You've been here a while.
Have an orange."

Celine felt touched by his gesture, wondering if he had been moved by her visit. Shyly, she lowered her head and peeled the orange, then ate it in
small bites.
But Pearl, seeing his actions, rolled her eyes internally. Silas was indeed a playboy. She tossed the snacks she had brought onto the table and said,
"Eat. | got them for you."
Ignoring Pearl, Silas pushed the snacks toward Celine. "I've already eaten, but you must be hungry. Have these."
Pearl shot him a disdainful glare and picked up a cup to get swater. But she did not drink it. Instead, she tilted her hand and splashed the water
on Celine's hand.
"Ah!" Celine panicked in an instant.
