Chapter 51
Pearl was moved by how determined Richard looked.
But they didn’t get very far. When Pearl thought they would be caught, they heard the sound of sirens
The men chasing them got scared and started to run away. But police officers, led by Wayne, caught
them
Wayne rushed to them and asked, “Miss… Pearl, are you okay?” He quickly corrected how he
addressed Pearl when he realized his mistake.
Still in Richard’s arms, Pearl said weakly, “I’m fine.”
Richard spoke up, “I’m taking her to the hospital. She hurt her leg. You may go home first, Mister
Wayne.” Inexplicable displeasure hit him when he noticed Wayne’s concern for Pearl.

police officers to handle those kidnappers.
It was already three o’clock in the morning when Richard brought Pearl to the hospital, and Hugo, who
was working the night shift, noticed their distressed condition. “What happened to you guys?”
Richard explained apathetically, “Pearl was kidnapped, and I just saved her.”
“Kidnapped?” Hugo frowned. “Why didn’t you tell us?
Richard glanced at Pearl in his arms and said indifferently, “No need to trouble Dad and Mom, it might
complicate things. Besides, she sprained her leg. Just get her the treatment she needs.” He then gently
laid Pearl down in the bed.
With a sense of helplessness, Hugo remarked, “You sprained your leg twice in a row. You better be
careful, or you might develop long–term issues from multiple sprains.”
Pearl touched her nose awkwardly. “All right.”
After tending to her wound, a nurse called Hugo away. Richard took a seat in front of her bed and this
time?”
But his question made Pearl scoff. “Why are you asking? You never believed a thing I said.”
Stunned, Richard looked into her eyes and whispered, “I’m sorry.”
He had realized his prejudice toward her, his firm belief in his feelings, and his partiality toward Abby.

As a result, it was hard for Pearl to make things difficult for him after he had admitted to his mistakes,
especially since he had always been a proud and arrogant man.
“Okay, apology accepted. But Abby is the one behind all of this.”
Richard’s eyes turned cold. “Is it really her?”
Pearl nodded. “Yes, she waited for me in the parking lot for three days. She also ordered a bunch of
men to kidnap me and take liberties with me, but I was spared because I tricked them.”
Upon hearing about those men’s vulgar plan, Richard’s expression became fierce. “She’s gone too far.
I should teach her a

lesson.”
Pearl felt much better now, because surprisingly, Richard took her side.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Wayne.
“They confessed that Abby gave the orders, Miss Pearl. The cops have gone to the Flores Residence. I
guess they’ll arrest Abby tonight.”
Those men were smart enough to realize they could get a milder punishment by admitting their guilt.
They knew those who denied their involvement would face harsher penalties.

After ending the call, Pearl closed her eyes in exhaustion.
Richard felt sorry for her when he noticed the dark circles under her eyes. “Just stay here tonight and
rest”
But his suggestion made Pearl sigh. “Mister Dustan will get worried if I don’t go home.”
