Chapter 578
He wanted to shake Pearl out of her current state–she looked like a walking corpse. But physical
violence was not the answer. He needed to find a way to talk some sense into her and help her change
her mind.
Pearl, though stubborn, seemed to be showing a glimmer of acceptance. “I know, I know,” she nodded
as she looked up at Damian, her eyes reflecting a mixture of a smile and resignation.
Damian.”
Let’s go,
Damian wasn’t expecting her reaction, so he simply replied, “Oh.”
Pearl continued, “Let’s leave Enswood. It doesn’t matter where we go. I just don’t want to be here
anymore.” Staying in a place that brought her so much sadness seemed pointless.
“Alright,” Damian agreed, relieved that Pearl was willing to leave, even if he knew she hadn’t entirely let
go of Richard. “Where would you like to go? Hazelton? Or Bodgow? Or maybe you’d prefer to go
abroad?”
Pearl considered her options for a moment before deciding, “Bodgow.” Esther and Clem were both
there. Maybe seeing them would make her feel better.
Damian, sensing her unspoken reasons, didn’t question her choice. “Alright, I’ll book the tickets. We’ll
leave this afternoon.”
At three–thirty that afternoon, Pearl was ready to depart for the airport.
Realizing that she might not return for a long time, she summarized the recent events for Dustan and
Susan, who were saddened by the outcome. They understood that it was Richard’s coldness that had
caused this situation, but they still tried to talk her out of it. Eventually they realized Pearl wasn’t going
to change her mind, so they dropped it.
Standing at the airport gate, Pearl’s eyes had a glimmer of hope. She glanced at her reflection in the
glass doors, and for a moment, she thought she saw someone familiar.
With a happy expression, she turned around, only to be disappointed when she realized it wasn’t
Richard.
Returning to her original position, she waited for Damian.
At three–forty, Damian arrived on his motorbike, took off his helmet, and immediately attracted the
attention of the women nearby.
Pearl greeted him with a smile. “You just had to make an entrance, didn’t you?”
Damian looked at her with annoyance. “Starting to mock me now?”
“Alright, enough of that. The plane is taking off at four. We need to check in.” Pearl picked up her small
luggage and got up from her seat.
Damian didn’t have much luggage. Living in Bodgow, he could easily replace anything lost in at fire. He
had his essentials with him, so there wasn’t much to pack.
Taking Pearl’s ticket from her hand, Damian picked up her luggage and walked to the boarding gate.
As they walked, Pearl couldn’t help but glance back one last time, her eyes filled with longing.

“Stop looking back,” Damian advised. “I heard Richard is happily shopping around with Jenny so don’t
expect him to show up.”
Pearl’s hopeful eyes dulled, and she glared at Damian before stepping through the boarding gate.
Damian smirked, knowing he had lied, and followed her inside.
After they went in, a man sitting behind them raised his eyes slowly, revealing a deep coldness in his
gaze.
