Pearl couldn’t ignore the fact that Dustan’s reaction spoke volumes. It was evident that he didn’t want her to be with Richard, but no one had explained why. It felt like they were conspiring against her in silence.

“I’m done so I’m going to sleep,” Pearl casually said as she stood up and headed to her room.

“Pea, what’s going on?” Mobius noticed she hadn’t touched her food.

“Stay out of it, kid,” Sean said. He sensed that something was amiss, though he didn’t fully understand the conflict between them. Based on their reactions, it seemed like Pearl had been stripped of her right to be Richard’s wife. However, he didn’t want to get involved in the family drama

In her room, Pearl sat on the bed, lost in thought, unable to comprehend why she was being treated this way.
