Chapter 374

1/1

Pearl walked to the booth not too far away and started drinking. She was determined to drown her

thoughts in alcohol.

“Don’t drink so fast, Pea. There’s no point in drinking so much!” Wayne felt terrible watching her treat

herself that way and wanted to curse Richard and all his ancestors. “Listen, Richard is cold as ice. You

should just dump him and find someone new. You’re not married to him yet so it won’t be that bad-

Ouch!”

Before Wayne could finish his sentence, his arm was suddenly pinched.

“You can’t say that about him!” Pearl, her face flushed from the alcohol, gave him a fiery glare, even

though she looked more like a tipsy child.

“Fine, fine, I won’t interfere. But remember, if Richard ever hurts you, I’ll bring down Waldorf

Enterprises.”

Wayne regarded Pearl as a dear friend. Although he was usually playful, he would be the first to defend

her if anything went Wrong.

“Richard… He’s such a dummy. I know he has issues, but why won’t he confide in me? Don’t you think

he’s a dummy?” Pearl, her breath heavy, couldn’t stop talking about Richard even as she drank herself

into a stupor.

Wayne rolled his eyes. “Yes, yes, you’re both dummies.”

Pearl couldn’t hear well, and when she looked at Wayne’s face, it momentarily overlapped with

Richard’s. She threw herself at him while giggling. “Richard, do you love me?”

“I do, I do! But you need to let me go!” Wayne’s eyes widened, and Pearl was surprisingly strong. He

didn’t want to push her away too forcefully, so he felt quite silly.

Pearl, having heard that he loved her, leaned in even closer, nearly planting a kiss on his lips. A

moment later, someone grabbed her collar and hoisted her up.

Pearl, in her daze, turned to see an irate Richard standing there. “Oh, Richard?”

Richard didn’t say a word. He glared at the stunned Wayne, then shifted his gaze back to Pearl and

sighed. “I’m taking you home.”

Although Wayne didn’t have a high opinion of Richard, he couldn’t leave Pearl in her current state, so

he nodded and let Richard take her away. After all, Richard was her boyfriend-they should be fine

together.

Richard carried Pearl to a car parked outside, settled her into the passenger seat, and fastened her

seatbelt. He didn’t start the engine right away.

Pearl, now semi-conscious, looked at Richard, who appeared grim, and asked, “What’s going on?”

“You kissed him?” Richard’s tone was stern, and his eyebrows arched in accusation.

“Kissed who?” Pearl rubbed her eyes and replied in an innocent tone.

Richard leaned in closer, staring directly into her eyes. “I know you’re not really drunk, Pearl.”

They had drunk together before, and he was well aware of her alcohol tolerance. He could clearly see

that she hadn’t consumed enough to be this intoxicated.

“You’re clever.” Pearl smiled, and her eyes cleared up.

Richard held back his temper and said calmly, “Why did you do that?”

“Would you have come over if I hadn’t?” Pearl pouted. She had chosen a seat where she knew he

could see her actions.

She was right, but Richard was more astute than she gave him credit for, and even though he had seen

through her little scheme, he still fell for it
