Chapter 146

Richard probably thought that Pearl could resolve the disaster given her wits, but he was wrong. The

feelings, truth, and evidence all seemed to point to her guilt.

Surprisingly, the spacious residence was not equipped with a surveillance system.

“I don’t have evidence,” Pearl admitted.

Richard looked grave in response.

As the ambulance arrived and paramedics placed Susan on a stretcher, Richard briefly glanced at

Pearl from the corner of his eye before lowering his gaze and departing.

Pearl didn’t offer much of an explanation, as she was left with feelings of despair and disappointment.

Smiling bitterly, she seemed to understand something. Perhaps Hugo had been right. The typically

aloof and ruthless Richard would not easily show kindness to someone.

Furthermore, it was clear that Richard didn’t fully trust her. If that was the case, Pearl felt that there was

no reason for her to stay any longer.

Heartbroken, Pearl was overwhelmed with pain. Staring at the chaotic house, she felt that she was

always an

outsider.

Since it seemed that everyone disliked her, she decided it was best to leave.

In the end, she left quietly.

Melancholic feelings hit Richard when he learned of Pearl’s departure while he was in the hospital.

Meanwhile, Abby mistook his disappointment for concern that Susan might never wake up. So she

quickly reassured him, saying, “Don’t worry too much, Rick. I’m sure your mother will be fine. You

shouldn’t stay here all the time, especially since you’ve been here the entire night.”

She felt very sorry for Richard when she saw his stubble and dark circles under his eyes.

“I’m alright. Sean has to manage the company, and Hugo is busy with surgery. Hanzel and Mobius both

have their careers and studies to focus on. If I don’t stay here, no one will take care of Mom,” Richard

replied

sensibly.

He observed Abby yawning repeatedly and suggested, “You’ve been here with me the whole night as

well. You should get some rest.”

His words made Abby smile. “I’m glad to keep watch here, Rick. Madam has always been so kind to

me, and I

can’t leave her alone in her time of need.”

“Thank you,” Richard said sincerely.

Abby sensed his guilt and waved it off. “No need to mention it, Rick. We’ve been childhood friends,

even if

you

don’t have romantic feelings for me. You don’t have to say that.” She was indeed a pretentious person.

As expected, Richard began to wonder if he had been too harsh towards her in the past. Most women

would have left in tears after such a cold rejection from him. Yet, Abby remained undeterred and even

willingly took

care of Susan.

“Rick, what do you plan to do about Pearl?” Abby asked tentatively, but her question only irritated him.

“I told

you,

don’t meddle in her business.” Richard was annoyed again. Naturally, the forbidden topic left him in a

foul mood.

Realizing that pressing further would tarnish the good image she had just built, Abby decided to drop

the subject. “Alright, don’t be upset. I’m hungry. How about grabbing a bite to eat with me?”
