Chapter 259

Pearl gave Sophia a frosty look. “Whatever.”

Pearl’s stubbornness made Sophia sneer. “Aren’t you curious why Hugo trusted Lawson Enterprises

and refused to believe your explanation?”

As Pearl was leaving, she stopped upon hearing Sophia’s words. “What do you know?”

Sophia arrogantly lifted her chin. “I did say you’d regret treating me like this. I work at Lawson

Enterprises now, and I’m privy to quite a lot of information. Do you think I’ll tell you?”

“Do you think I’ll panic and apologize to you after what you’ve said? Do you expect me to beg you for

the truth?”

Gaping, Sophia did feel that way.

“You’re overestimating yourself, Sophia. I’ll uncover the truth, and it’ll be more detailed and

comprehensive than anything you know.” Pearl smirked suddenly. “But thank you. Without you, I might

not be so certain that it was Lawson Enterprises behind these schemes.”

Sophia’s face drained of color. She suddenly felt as if she had once again made a foolish mistake. It

was as though she had willingly brought humiliation upon herself.

“Stop being so smug!” Sophia, never one to hold back, glared fiercely at Pearl.

Feeling a bit lightheaded, Pearl realized the fresh air wasn’t helping, so she decided to return to her

room to rest.

Sophia, noticing Pearl’s condition, didn’t stop her this time. Instead, she watched as Pearl unsteadily

walked away.

Watching Pearl’s back, Sophia smirked smugly. The drug she had used was colorless, tasteless, and

had a long-lasting effect. Most people wouldn’t easily detect it. Despite Pearl’s intelligence, she had

fallen victim to the drugged wine, believing it was. safe to drink at her friend’s party.

Sophia had even instructed a waiter to guide Pearl to a room specifically. Once inside, four or five men

would be waiting, and there would be no escape.

The thought of Pearl’s misery brought a twisted sense of satisfaction to Sophia. She calmly returned to

the party to avoid arousing suspicion.

Meanwhile, Pearl was about to request a room to rest, but a waiter suddenly appeared, offering to

escort her. The timing struck her as too coincidental, and she suspected she had been drugged.

Choosing not to alert her assailant, Pearl feigned agreement with the waiter while discreetly retrieving

an antidote from her purse, out of sight. She intended to counteract the effects of the drug.

She held her forehead as if feeling dizzy and followed the waiter upstairs. Although she had visited

Esther’s house only once and was unfamiliar with the layout, the waiter seemed even less

knowledgeable. They traversed several corridors, with the waiter looking around uncertainly, before

finally stopping at a room.

Smiling weakly, Pearl said, “Thank you for bringing me here. Just get back to work and leave me

alone.”

The waiter nodded and left, satisfied with a job well done.

Pearl knocked on the door, finding it unlocked, yet no one answered. Holding her breath, she slowly

pushed the door open.
