Curious, Pearl asked, "But what?"
Linda, looking around to ensure privacy, whispered, "But the host of that TV station is a huge fan of Hanzel. She'll definitely target you because of your romantic video with him."
Pearl, although unconcerned, was looking forward to the interview in the afternoon, "Well, I'm curious to see what she has in store."
As expected, the TV station dispatched a crew to interview Pearl at three o'clock.
The female host, dressed in a smart work suit, flaunted her curvy and attractive b*dy, capturing the attention of the male staff. Some of them wished they were the ones being interviewed instead. Sashaying to Pearl, she felt insecure upon seeing Pearl's striking beauty and elegant demeanor, accentuated by her delicate and flawless features. 'So, this is my rival in love..."
"Hello, I'm Rebecca O'Brien, a host from the local TV station."
Smiling, Pearl nodded. "Hi, I'm Pearl Leighton."
"Let's get started, shall we?" Rebecca glanced at the photographer nearby and instructed him to start shooting.
"Could you tell us why you chose to save that lady, even though you had no prior connection with her?"
Pearl answered without any hesitation, "I was free at the time, and I happened to stumble upon the situation."
"Did you accept her gratitude and money?" Rebecca probed further.
"No, her gratitude was more than enough for me."
Rebecca added, "But didn't you ask for anything in return?"
Her forceful tone made Pearl realize that she was targeting her.
Without missing a beat, Pearl posed a question of her own, "Will the government reward me for such a courageous act?"
Rebecca inwardly scoffed at Pearl's apparent lack of sophistication but maintained her smile. "Of course, there would be a substantial reward "
"Well, can I ask you another question? Can you answer that?" Pearl continued calmly.
Rebecca, confident in her abilities, replied, "Go ahead."
"When will I receive this reward?"
Rebecca had not anticipated such a question, as it was not a typical line of inquiry for this interview. She had posed it deliberately to embarrass Pearl. Unexpectedly, Pearl displayed quick thinking and successfully struck a nerve with Rebecca.
As a result, Rebecca's expression shifted slightly. "I'm not so sure about the exact timing."
Playing along, Pearl feigned confusion. "Ah? Didn't you say you can answer my question? Why didn't you know this? Are you a new host?"
"I..." Rebecca was rendered speechless, her face reddening in frustration.
"The government typically rewards such courageous acts with 130 dollars per
person. However, I didn't do this good deed for the money. I have no need for it. Miss Rebecca, I suggest you make enough preparations before your next interview. Don't make a fool of yourself again."
After that, Pearl glanced at the photographer with her brows raised. "Be sure to cut this out when airing the interview. Don't humiliate Miss Rebecca."
