Chapter 157

“It’s all because of that stupid Mobius. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have run off and bumped into that

stupid man,” Esther grumbled, recalling how close Mobius had been with that other girl.

“It’s because you have feelings for him. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t feel this way. How is that his fault?”

Pearl pointed out.

Esther knew she was in the wrong, so she changed the subject. “I remember you came after me right

away, but why did it take you so long to find me?” She wasn’t blaming Pearl but was genuinely curious.

“Because… a dog blocked my path,” Pearl said through gritted teeth, while Richard sneezed

somewhere in the hospital.

“A dog?” Esther was confused because no dogs were allowed in the bar. That was weird.

“Anyway, it’s time for you to go back to your brother.”

Esther asked, “Where are you headed?”

Pearl took a deep breath. “I’m going for a walk”

After saying goodbye to Esther, Pearl strolled along the lakeside. The night was illuminated with

scattered lights, and couples were enjoying their dates.

Suddenly, she overheard two people quarreling.

“It’s all your fault. I wouldn’t have lost that trivia contest if it weren’t for you.” The man’s voice sounded

angry.

“It’s because you don’t trust me. You wouldn’t have lost if you trusted me!” the woman retorted, raising

her voice to make her

point.

“Trust you? Why would I trust you? You can’t even think clearly. I know better than you. You don’t know

anything about this,

and I do!”

“Fine, you know me well. Do you know how much effort I put into this trivia contest? You never noticed

the changes and still think of me as the same dumb person from before!”

The woman turned angrily, almost tumbling into the lake, but the man quickly caught her.

“Why did you save me? Just let me die!”

The man hugged her tightly, his eyes welling up as he lowered his voice. “Just because we argue

doesn’t mean I don’t love you

anymore.”

Realizing her mistake, the woman apologized, “I’m sorry for yelling.”

Pearl, who had been eavesdropping, was deeply moved. Quarreling didn’t mean they stopped loving

each other. Harsh words didn’t benefit anyone.

Richard had grown up with Abby, and to him, Abby was like a daughter to Susan. Why would a child

hurt her own mother?

Pearl, on the other hand, had always had a bad relationship with Susan. Richard had never

reprimanded her, and that meant he didn’t blame her. Yet here she was, throwing a tantrum.

It was natural for him to be suspicious, but he was willing to talk to her, which indicated he still had

feelings for her.

With her thoughts clarified, Pearl realized her next move. She needed to find evidence that would clear

her name rather than falling into this relationship trap.

She immediately called Wayne to ask about Susan’s recovery.

“I rushed back to the office because of this.” Wayne’s voice sounded like he was smiling. “It was quite a

coincidence because I

had someone guarding the room for three days, and finally, Abby showed up. She tried to pull Susan’s

IV tube but was caught. I took pictures as evidence. She was probably afraid Susan would wake up

and expose her.”

Pearl was overjoyed to hear that, and her mood brightened.
