Chapter 600

He wouldn’t force her if Pearl didn’t want to do anything with him in the bedroom tonight. He would

respect her decision even if she wanted to call off the wedding.

He just wanted to try to see if Pearl would choose him. Now, it appeared that he had been overly

optimistic.

Sean flashed a bright smile, closing the bedroom door behind him as he left. He returned to the

ballroom, which was filled with lively chatter and people enjoying themselves.

“Hey, Sean. It’s your wedding night. Why aren’t you with the bride? What are you doing here?” Sean

chuckled. “My wife is tired and has fallen asleep. I came here to have a few more drinks with you guys.”

Though his words sounded straightforward, they were somewhat brief.

“Oh, look at you. You’re already calling her your wife!”

“Alright, since Mister Sean is showing his affection, we’ll keep him company until he’s drunk!

“Come on, let’s fill up those glasses!”

Pearl followed the man all the way to a secluded villa area, which was relatively remote and not easily

accessible by cabs.

“Whose villa is this?” Pearl asked.

The man sneered, “Someone asked me to bring you here. You’ll find out once you go in.” Then, he

urged Pearl out of the car without further explanation. novelbin

As the car’s exhaust raised a cloud of dust, Pearl couldn’t help but twitch her mouth in annoyance.

There were so many houses in this area. How was she supposed to find anyone in particular?

Just as she pondered that, Pearl spotted a figure approaching her from a distance.

Hugo?!

“Why are you here so quickly?” Pearl was surprised and immediately became wary.

wary. “Did you intentionally bring me out here to capture me and end up in your hands?”

“I didn’t expect you to be this smart, Pearl. I admire that. I must have been blind not to notice how

clever you are without being annoying.” Hugo responded, his lips curling into a half- smile.

Pearl couldn’t be bothered to listen to his nonsense and tried to slap him.

Hugo sidestepped with a chuckle. “What’s wrong? Resorting to violence? After all, I’m your savior now.

Is that how you treat your savior?”

Pearl snorted. “Savior, my foot! I saved you back then, and didn’t you turn on me after that?”

Bringing up that incident, Hugo’s mind wandered down memory lane. He had discovered an orchid–

shaped birthmark on Jenny’s body by chance. When he Indirectly Inquired about it, she claimed to be

the girl who had saved him.

For years, he had held a special place in his heart for Jenny, even though she only used him. Because

of her, he had gone from merely disliking Richard to outright hating him.

But now, he had realized he had been wrong from the start. He was nothing more than a pawn for

Jenny to deal with Pearl, a chess piece she used to connect with Richard and the Waldorfs.

With this revelation, all his lingering affection for Jenny vanished entirely.

Since that was the case, he might as well use her.
