Chapter 604
“You can choose any vacant room upstairs, except for the first one on the left,” Hugo replied.
Curiosity got the better of Pearl, and she asked, “What’s wrong with that room?”
Hugo smirked and mouthed a few words to her.
Blushing furiously, Pearl shot him an annoyed glare and quickly made her way upstairs to choose
another room. She couldn’t be certain if the room had good sound insulation, so she closed the
curtains and locked the door before discreetly taking out her ring.
Previously, she had been hesitant to use the ring in front of Hugo, as he was a cunning and perceptive
man, with sharp insight, especially as a doctor.
She attempted to contact Damian to ask about his condition. To her surprise, he reacted with shock,
exclaiming, “Pearl? You’re alive?”
Perplexed, Pearl responded, “What do you mean? Why would I be dead for no reason?”
Damian and Wayne exchanged bewildered glances. “The Cooper family announced this morning that
you had suffered a relapse of your old illness last night and had passed away due to it.”
A relapse of an old illness… and passing away…
Pearl’s lips twitched. It sounded like Sean’s style. While he had helped her avoid a forced marriage,
spreading such malicious news was a cruel move.
“Hasn’t the Jordan family demanded an explanation?” Pearl was concerned about Ezra’s condition.
“Yeah, the Jordans are furious. I heard that Master Jordan is very angry. He even fell seriously ill.”
Ezra lay on his deathbed, and despite the villainous acts he had committed, Pearl couldn’t help but benovelbin
worried.
However, she wouldn’t let herself feel sorry for him.
Damian suddenly made an unexpected observation. “You know, it seems like the Coopers are helping
you.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Just think about it. No one goes from getting engaged to married in just ten days. It’s too rushed. I
think Sean was trying to help you escape from the Jordans as quickly as possible. Since you were only
nominally married, Master Jordan can’t force you to marry someone else. You’ll be able to break free
from their control, no matter how they announce your ‘death‘.”
Pearl’s heart softened as she considered Damian’s words. If that was the case, everything
made sense now.
She had initially assumed that the Coopers might have turned a blind eye to her escape. It had never
crossed her mind that they were actively trying to help her.
It made sense, though. Reese had always doted on Pearl, and he would never force her into a

marriage she didn’t want. Drew, being an intelligent man, would not support such a scheme either.
As for Sean… He likely valued his reputation, which was why he didn’t hold her accountable.
For some inexplicable reason, a bitter feeling welled up inside Pearl despite this revelation. She wanted
to call the Coopers and express her gratitude, but she refrained, not wanting to disturb them after they
had willingly let her go.
Damian’s voice brought her back to the conversation. “By the way, where are you now?”
“I’m at-” Pearl stopped herself abruptly. She couldn’t reveal her location to Damian just yet.
