Susan quickly turned around and saw Pearl in Richard’s arms. Her face sank. “Don’t worry, Abby. I’ll giv
e you an explanation
later.”
When they reached the top of the mountain, Pearl was sent to the clinic
for treatment. When she was alone, Susan entered her room. “Pearl, I have something to discuss with
you.”
After they had made peace with each other, Pearl had not had much contact with Susan. When she sa
w Susan come in, she wondered if there was a problem between them.
Pearl smiled. “What is it, Missus Susan?”
“You’ve been getting very close to Rick recently,” Susan commented, and Pearl was instantly enlighten

“No, I don’t talk to him much.”
Susan had a serious expression. “I This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
told you that I hope to see Abby as Rick’s wife. I don’t care how you feel about Rick or how your relatio
nship with him is, but remember that I will never agree to let you be with him. Don’t even fancy such th
oughts.”
Susan had come with the intention to suppress Pearl with words.
Pearl smiled tenderly. “Madam, don’t worry. I don’t have any feelings toward Richard.”

[Deliver to me some ointment, the one I store in the lowest drawer in the storeroom.]
[You’re hurt again? Miss Pearl, why have you been so unlucky recently?]
Pearl became gloomy and wondered why he said such unpleasant things.
At this moment, Sean came in.
“Pearl, are you feeling better?” He naturally sat down beside her as if they were very close.
Pearl kept a calm expression. “What can I do for you, Mister Sean?”
“I just came to ask how you are, Pearl.” He smiled. It was unknown if it was sincere or not.
Pearl recalled that she had not had much contact with Sean, so he must be up to no good in showing hi

“Spill it. What are you hiding?”
Sean smirked. “What if I tell you I’m interested in you?”
When Pearl heard this, her l*ps twitched. “Do you think I’d believe that?”
Sean bent over slightly as his smile widened. “Why don’t you trust me? You make me so sad.”
Adverse to his approach, she leaned back to avoid physical contact with him. “Please behave yourself.
Sean ignored her. “What are you afraid of?”
When Richard came in, he immediately saw them
in this intimate position. His eyes turned dull. “Am I disturbing you guys?”
The s
scene was rather unpleasant for him.
Sean secretly rejoiced at Richard’s expression. “No, I’m just here to see how Pea’s doing.” He addresse
