It’s simpler than the others." Marsha nodded, her smile warm. "The pearls are soft and elegant. They are perfect for you. This set was passed down to me by my mother-in-law. They’re South Sea saltwater pearls. Natural ones of this size are rare these days." Then she turned to me with that same gentle expression. "Eve, which set do you like?"

I lowered my head in astonishment and looked at the priceless pearl necklace around my neck. "Theo's a merman, and these pearls are his tears," the system said quietly. A merman? Merfolk in this story shed pearls? My worldview instantly crumbled. He was not a villain but a cash cow! This string of pearls was originally hidden in a secret compartment in the study.

Pearl The elderly man with the long beard, who was in charge of the examination, suddenly made another announcement while still seated. I remained at my place, but different thoughts began to cloud my mind. I clenched my fists under the table. Peanuts, wasn’t it? Ugh, I hate him. Why does he have to be so good at everything and act like he knows it all? And why did my heart do that weird flutter thing when he spoke? No, no, no—focus, Pearl. He's just another arrogant noble with a perfect brain, a perfect face, and a perfectly punchable smirk. You're not here to get distracted by perfect problems. You're here to survive.

Show her what? Jenna watched at Harry then reached into her pocket. Lily’s jaw hung open when Jenna pulled out a beautiful black pearl with a golden tint. Hailey followed by taking out a pink pearl of her own. Then Ish pulled a necklace from under her shirt, displaying a brown pearl. Lily stared at each of those three pearls, then at the one in her hand. The others were all exotic colors, while hers was a pure, eggshell white. It usually watched dull, with a matte finish. But now, her pearl came alive with light, almost glowing from the inside.

"Okay then, I will give you a trial." Pearl's laughter, a melodic sound that was both quirky and charming, filled the air as she joked, "I will do my best not to fail you, sir." Eden's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled inwardly, his sharp jawline relaxing into a gentle curve. As he gazed at Pearl, he found himself captivated by her radiant smile. Her bright blue eyes sparkled like sapphires, and her delicate features seemed to glow with an inner light.

"So… what happened between you and him, last night?" Sitting beside Pearl, Ivory opened her mouth to answer, but before she could say anything, Pearl's sharp eyes concentrated on the necklace around Ivory's neck. "Wait a second," Pearl gasped in surprise, reaching for it. "Is that the famous Mermaid Tears?" Ivory gently took it off and placed it on the bed. "Yeah." Pearl picked it up like it was a sacred relic. "Yeah? A simple yeah? Do you even know how expensive this is?"

She might have also just wanted to show off. “This is Kismet Jewelry’s newest limited-edition necklace. There’s only one in the country. I think you can recognize it.” Shocked gasps rose around them. Pearl’s eyes were glued to the necklace. Just like her name suggested, Pearl loved gemstones from a young age. She also was very knowledgeable when it came to gemstones and jewelry. The necklace was indeed the newest design from Kismet Jewelry. They only made one such necklace, and she had not found anyone who could sell it to her.

John said, slowly unwrapping it in front of her. Inside was a large pearl, emitting a faint glow in the dimly lit car. "I heard this is a pearl that a ancient king once gave to his queen. I thought you'd like it, so I bought it." Diana held the night pearl, her eyes reflecting a sense of wonder. Holding the pearl, she looked at John and couldn't help but ask, "It must be expensive, right?" "I may not have anything else, but I do have money," he replied.

she cut in. "Why are you doing this?" I asked. "Pearl got into this school on Friday, today is Sunday and here we are. The school has never experienced this on a Show Day before…" "She isn't at fault, Zenden is. Pearl is a victim here! She is in the infirmary dying!" I spat. "You know how Zenden is. She chose her because she definitely saw something!" She yelled with equal passion. " We were dragged in the mud in the presence of the Luna Queen. Black Zenden would definitely be punished for choosing her… it's … it's , it's all muddled just because of pearl! " Eve rambled and I looked on in surprise.

She looked up at the sky, noticing the sun had almost disappeared. Slowly, but carefully, she stood, trying as much as possible to not make a noise. But she didn't realize there was a huge rock in front of her, making her stumble and almost losing her footing. The footsteps were getting closer.
