Chapter 164

“Pearl”

When she recognized the voice, she realized it was Raymond, whom she hadn’t seen in a while.

Raymond looked surprised to see she was living there. “The fiancee of a Waldorf living in this place.

That’s interesting.”

Pearl knew he was teasing her so she didn’t mind it. “I didn’t want to stay there for too long. I prefer

having my own place.”

“Well, in that case, we’re neighbors now, and the distance definitely works in my favor, I’m sure Mister

Richard will have to step up his game.”

Pearl had nothing to say to that. “If there’s nothing else, I should get going.”

Raymond didn’t try to stop her, merely offering a smile from where he stood.

Afterward, Pearl contemplated the encounter and decided to share the day’s events with Richard. To

prevent him from growing suspicious, she invented a pretext for visiting the cafe and left out the part

where she met Clem.

“I don’t know what’s going on in Hugo’s mind. First, he wanted to be in a relationship with me, and now

he’s proposing marriage. What does he hope to gain from me?”

Pearl couldn’t discern Hugo’s intentions, but she knew he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Every move

he made was calculated.

“Hugo wants to marry you?” Richard felt uneasy hearing that, but he quickly realized why his brother

would want to do that.

It wasn’t the first time Hugo had shown interest in Pearl. Unlike Sean’s competitive streak or Hanzel’s

jokes, Hugo always approached for a reason. He desired something only Pearl could give.

“Yes, this lunatic. I thought he was a nice person at first, but now I see he’s the most cunning in your

family.” He was like a psycho, normal yet abnormal.

“We don’t know his motives yet, but if he’s aware of Abby, it means he knows how to stop you from

finding evidence and make sure my mom never wakes up.”

Richard’s concerns made sense. Hugo was clearly no saint.

“Renee’s mother’s condition deteriorated because her medication was switched. When you have the

chance, check her medications for any signs of tampering. As for transferring her to another hospital,

you need to be careful. Hugo might try to hide her information and delay the transfer.

Pearl added, “One more thing, remember to get enough rest. I can take over and stay by your mother’s

side… That is, if you trust me.”

Pearl’s words flowed rapidly, leaving Richard in silence.

“Huh? Did I get cut off?” Pearl thought her connection was choppy and that was why Richard didn’t

hear her.

After some time, there was a rustling sound, like the sound of the phone brushing against some fabric.

Richard remained quiet for some time before asking, “Why would you help my mom? I remember she

wasn’t nice to you.”

Pearl paused when she heard that, then sighed and smiled.

‘Because she’s your mom. Even if she did hurt me in the past, I would still help her. I know you’ll be sad

if you lose her.’ Pearl didn’t say this out loud, but Richard understood the unspoken message.

Richard’s voice, no longer cold, turned serious. “Let’s get into a relationship after this is over.”
