1/1
The waiter’s deep fatherly love for his daughter moved everyone present, except for Sophia, whose
face had turned grotesque. “No, I didn’t do it. You all conspired to frame me!”
“Conspired? You’re still making excuses, Sophia. It’s better to admit your involvement now to receive a
less severe punishment.”
Wrapping herself in the blanket, Sophia curled up slightly.
Being one head taller than Sophia, Pearl looked down on her with a judging gaze.
“I didn’t harm anyone. I didn’t…” Sophia had a mental breakdown as she looked at Richard and lunged
at him, grabbing onto his trouser legs. “I like you so much, Rick Can you say something for me?”
However, Richard kicked her away and turned to hug Pearl’s waist. “Don’t touch me. You’re
disgusting.”

“You think I’m disgusting? You didn’t say that back then, Rick. You said I was pitiful and wanted to take
good care of me…”
Pearl immediately recalled that night when Sophia had slowly leaned into Richard’s arms under a tree’s
shade, and he hadn’t immediately pushed her away. On the contrary, he had seemed stunned for a
moment before retreating.
Thinking of that, disappointment overwhelmed Pearl. She struggled briefly, but Richard held her even
tighter.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but please don’t ruin my reputation. I never said you were pitiful
and that I wanted to take care of you. It was all your imagination.” Then, he turned to the reporters, who
were left speechless by the unfolding drama. “I apologize for using public resources, but I must clarifynovelbin
that I’m now dating Pearl. I hope that’s clear, and those with ulterior motives should understand it.”
His reference to Sophia was obvious, and he was openly humiliating her.
Sophia’s face turned pale, and seeing Richard’s composed demeanor, with his focus solely on Pearl,
ignited jealousy, pain, and madness within her, driving her to lose her reason.
Suddenly, she grabbed a paring knife from the table, intending to stab Pearl.
However, Sophia couldn’t even touch Pearl due to Pearl’s exceptional martial arts skills. Pearl skillfully
evaded the attack, causing Sophia to fall hard on the floor and lose her grip on the knife, which skidded
across the hall.
“You better release his daughter and stop this madness, or you’ll end up behind bars with more than
just civil liabilities.”
Sophia was in excruciating pain, her fall having caused her to hurt her l*ps, leading to her vomiting and
feeling utterly
defeated.
“I only took the haircl*p. I didn’t kidnap his daughter. He was just scared and mistakenly believed that I
had kidnapped her. If you don’t believe me, call the kindergarten and confirm if his daughter is there
attending class…”
The waiter, enlightened, dialed the kindergarten. As expected, his daughter was safe and sound. His
fear had led him to be manipulated by Sophia.
At this point, Sophia had given up all hope, unable to comprehend how her passionate love for Richard
had led her to such a predicament, despite having earned his appreciation.
She now found herself implicated and facing a grim future. Her reputation was in tatters, and even if no
one reported her to the police, she could never thrive in the upper class of Enswood after this incident.
Her bewildered gaze as she sat on the floor made Pearl reconsider reporting her to the authorities.
However, Richard was not as forgiving He signaled, and two b*dyguards helped Sophia to her feet.
He couldn’t quell his anger because Pearl was almost taken advantage of. At the same time, his cold
and ferocious gaze hurt Sophia deeply. “It’s not over yet. I’m still going to settle this with you.”
