Chapter 594

This memory felt somewhat distant, and Pearl had to wrack her brain to remember it.

About eight years ago, when she was around fifteen, she took a bus from Lynxville to Enswood, which

was quite a distance. Back then, she was a moderately skilled but slender girl who kept to herself at

school.

She excelled in her studies, which made her a target for bullies. The principal’s daughter took

advantage of the situation and got her expelled. Left with no other options, she had to use some of her

father’s inheritance to prepare for studying abroad.

During her journey, she had to switch buses somewhere near the border between Lynxville and

Enswood, requiring a bit of walking. During this walk, she came across a group of people surrounding a

chubby little boy who appeared plump but cute.

As a former victim of bullying herself, witnessing this scene ignited her anger. Luckily, only a tew boys

were among the bullies, while most were haughty teenage girls. She quickly knocked down one of the

boys and shielded the little boy behind her.

“It anyone wants to bully him again, you’ll have to go through me first.”

The boy, who had been knocked down, cried out in pain.

Seeing this, the others didn’t dare to say anything and ran away. Some of the timid girls even cried.

“If any of you dare to bully him again, I won’t hold back.”

This statement scared the group of kids, as they couldn’t understand how a seemingly younger, slim

girl like her had such strength and skills. But to avoid getting beaten up, they tled and didn’t dare look

back

After the bullies left, Pearl turned to the little boy behind her and said calmly, “Well, starting today, they

shouldn’t bother you for a while,”

The little boy sat up, tears slowly streaming down his face. He was crying while thanking her.

Pearl looked at the bruise on his eyebrow and couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. She advised him,

“These kids can be little devils. If they ever bully you again, tell your parents. Once they get a good

talking, they won’t dare to bother you anymore.”

With that, she left him with a confident stride, swiftly boarding the approaching bus. novelbin

Pearl shifted her focus back to the present, eyeing the scar on Hugo’s eyebrow. “So, what’s the point of

all this? Are you trying to tell me that the boy who was bullied back then was you?”

Seeing Hugo standing in silence, Pearl chuckled in disbelief, “No way!”

Though she found it hard to believe, Hugo’s bewildered response made it seem like an undeniable

truth. Moreover, she didn’t expect that the chubby little boy who had cried while being pinned down

back then had grown into a handsome young man.

But his personality… Could it have been influenced by the bullying he endured in his early

years? This thought stirred a blend of sympathy and regret in Pearl.

Hugo took a while to respond. “Impossible! It couldn’t have been you! How is that even

possible?”

The person who had saved him back then was clearly Jenny! It had been Jenny who had bravely

stepped in and rescued him. How could it suddenly become Pearl?
