Chapter 229

“Well, I’ll see if you’ll end up with Miss Pearl or not, Mister Richard.” With that, Raymond turned and left.

Richard remained silent while Pearl explained, “I’m really not close to him, and I didn’t have much contact with him.”

“I know.”

Clearly, Raymond had his eyes on Pearl. Although his words were ambiguous, both Pearl and Richard could see no love in his eyes, just like Hugo. Both of them only cared about their own gains.

“Stay away from him, and be cautious of any schemes he might hatch,” Richard warned.

Pearl was well aware of that even without his reminder. After that, Pearl walked into the house to pack her things and returned to Waldorf Residence with Richard.

It had been a few days since she last stayed there, and Dustan and Susan missed her very much, especially Susan. When Susan saw Pearl, she held the latter’s hand and inquired after the latter, “Oh, Pearl. Where have you been all these days?”

Glancing at Susan, Pearl knew that Hanzel didn’t expose her whereabouts, which put her at ease. She didn’t mention the Jordans and explained that she had been busy taking care of Hanzel as his agent.
