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.
Although Hanzel wasn’t the sharpest, the Waldorfs might quickly deduce Pearl’s relationship with the
Jordans if they were
aware of the situation.
Hearing her explanation, Susan nodded with a contented smile. “That’s good to hear. Come and have
dinner. I’ve prepared a lot of delicious dishes today because Hanzel said you’d be returning to stay with
us.”
“Thank you, Madam.”
Since it was the weekend, all the members of the Waldorf family were present, and they sat down for
dinner together with
Pearl.
Suddenly, Dustan turned to Pearl and asked with a serious tone, “It’s been half a year now, Pearl.
Which one of my sons are you most interested in?”
Smiling nearby, Susan chimed in, “Of course, it’s Rick You don’t know the half of it since you’re often
away on business trips, but Pearl is closest to Rick. If Rick weren’t so slow, and if Pearl weren’t so shy,
they would’ve become a couple long ago.”
It seemed that Dustan wasn’t surprised by Susan’s response. After all, Richard was the most
outstanding heir he had raised. It made perfect sense for Pearl to be drawn to him.
“Is that right, Pearl? Do you really like Richard?” Dustan’s eyes were filled with a warm smile as he
looked at Pearl.
Speechless, Pearl kept her head lowered, and her ears turned red.
However, Hanzel muttered with dissatisfaction, “Pearl doesn’t belong to Richard alone. Why do you
think she likes him? Maybe she likes me.”
“Oh? You like Pearl too?” It was beyond Dustan’s imagination that Hanzel had feelings for Pearl too. It
put him in a difficult position.
He didn’t want to see either Richard or Hanzel suffer in matters of the heart. It was a predicament he
had personally experienced in his youth when he lost to Pearl’s father, and his love was unrequited.
Yet, he couldn’t bear to see Hanzel in pain, given that both Richard and Hanzel were his sons.
Pursing his l*ps, Hugo said, “Yes, I like her too.”
Sean chimed in, “Me too.”
Hence, Dustan glanced at Mobius, who awkwardly turned away. “Don’t look at me. I don’t have feelingsnovelbin
for her.”
Unexpectedly, four of Dustan’s sons were interested in Pearl.
After much deliberation, Dustan came to a decision. “How about this? We’ll let Pearl choose, and the
rest of you will have to
give up”
