Hanzel couldn’t believe it. His usual confident expression had disappeared.
Richard chuckled, while Pearl rolled her eyes. “Don’t laugh, she knows you too.”
Richard turned to her, surprised.
“Alright, the problem is solved now?” Pearl looked at Hanzel and sighed.
“Yes, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding.” Hanzel felt guilty because he knew he had jumped to
conclusions.
“That’s alright,” Feather said, her anger dissipating as she remembered how he had carried her to ‘turn

Hanzel wasn’t thinking about that. “Where do you want to go? Do you need a ride as an apology?”

Pearl touched her chin when she saw them tangled up. “Do you think they’ll end up together?”
Richard took a sip of water and calmly said, “Instead of thinking about that, why don’t you figure out

“Did you do this?”
Richard nodded. “I’m just teaching him a lesson for now because he can’t die yet. Dad is looking fornovelbin
someone to protect him. Let him do this thing, and when he starts to disgust Dad, I’ll end him.”
“Uncle Dustan is protecting Hugo?” Pearl remarked. “Well, Uncle Dustan is such a nice person. Hugo
was the one who didn’t appreciate it and wanted to cut ties with him. He even suspected Uncle Dustan.
But even then, Uncle Dustan hasn’t given up on him,” she added, feeling frustrated.
“It’s alright. Dad just wants to protect his sons, but Hugo won’t appreciate this. Soon, he’ll be shooting
his own foot,” Richard assured her.
Pearl nodded in agreement. A moment later, she received a text.

Richard’s arms.
Richard squinted, his anger masked by a cold expression. “He hasn’t learned his lesson and is causing
trouble again.”
