Chapter 640
Pearl ran her fingers through her disheveled hair and pulled the curtains apart, but it remained dark in
her room.
Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. She dragged her feet to answer it and found Gigi, who stood
about a foot shorter than her, holding a tray of neatly prepared food.
Pearl paused. “What’s this?”
Gigi blushed and stuttered. “I… I made this for you.”
“That’s very kind of you, Gigi.” Pearl smiled and accepted the tray, patting Gigi’s head affectionately.
“Thank you.”
Gigi hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “If working at that place is tiring, you don’t have to go.
I’m okay with my face like this.”
Gigi’s understanding made Pearl’s heart melt. “Don’t worry, it’s fine. It’s pretty easy working there, and I
know how to protect myself.”
To reassure Gigi and ease her worries, Pearl brought the food into her room and devoured it.
After finishing the meal, she took the dishes downstairs, where Hugo was curled up on the couch,
engrossed in a book. He turned around and smiled at her. “Are you going back to work tonight?”
Pearl placed the tray down, stretched, and let out a sigh before replying, “Yes, I haven’t completed my
missions yet so I need to go back for a while.”
Hugo’s eyes gleamed. “Did you meet anyone interesting while you were there?”
“No, I didn’t. Why?” Pearl’s heart thumped, realizing he was trying to get information from
her.
Hugo knew she wouldn’t easily divulge any information, so he stopped probing and smiled. ” Alright, it’s
nothing important.”
Suspicion arose in Pearl’s mind, suspecting that Hugo might know Richard was there. Nevertheless,
her priority was Gigi for now.
Pearl returned to her room, applied bold makeup, changed into a revealing dress, and then headed
back to the establishment.
As she greeted customers at the entrance and prepared to approach her target, a strong hand tightly
gripped her wrist, almost as if it intended to crush it. Pearl turned to see that it was Richard.
“Why can’t you just leave me alone?” Pearl glared at him irritably, then glanced at the man she was
talking to leaving with another woman. She exerted all her strength to break free from Richard’s grasp,
but it was futile.
“Do you really have to serve customers?” Richard’s tone was stern.

Pearl raised her voice, exasperated. “I’ve told you countless times that we’re no longer together. I can
do as I please without explaining myself to you!”

Richard clenched his other hand into a fist. “You’re my fiancee. I don’t see any issue with you
explaining yourself to me.”
Pearl scoffed. “We’re no longer in a relationship. You’re the one who called off our engagement.”
Richard remained stubborn. “I did that, but it was regarding the Pearl who’s now gone. Since you’re still
alive, it doesn’t count.”
He was playing with his words, and Pearl could sense that he had no intention of letting her go.
Frustration building up, she delivered a powerful kick to his knee. She wore black stilettos, and even
though she controlled her strength to merely teach him a lesson, it still inflicted considerable pain.
Seeing that Richard’s expression remained unchanged and he was dragging her toward a chair, Pearl
lost her temper. “Richard! Can’t we just talk things out?”
Annoyed by the commotion, Richard picked her up and carried her toward one of the rooms upstairs,
ignoring her protests.
