Chapter 646
Richard’s firm decision left Pearl feeling unsettled. “So you’re not going to the airport to pick her up?”
“Why would I go to the airport to pick her up? She has nothing to do with me.”
Richard’s expression changed, and Pearl nodded in satisfaction. “Alright then, I gotta get back to work.”
With that, she started to get up.
However, Richard suddenly pressed her down on the bed. “Didn’t I tell you? You’re not allowed to work
in a place like this.”
Pearl sighed. “I promise you, once I get the machete, I won’t stay in a place like this anymore, okay?”
Hearing her promise, Richard’s expression finally softened. “Okay. If you need anything, I can help
you.”
Jenny had been waiting for half an hour in the airport but still hadn’t seen any sign of Richard.
The weather in Mernaut was especially cold this season. To leave a good impression on Richard, she

Right now, Hugo was cooking in the villa, contemplating everyone’s dietary restrictions. Hearing this, he
felt a bit annoyed. “I’ll have my assistant pick you up.”
It was a familiar response, one she had heard many times before.
Jenny’s frustration flared up inside her. “Why is everyone so busy?”
Hearing this, Hugo understood that she must have asked Richard first. Since he didn’t agree, she
settled for him as a second choice.
Hugo’s tone got colder. “Does everyone have to just sit around and wait for you?”
Jenny had never seen him with a cold tone and indifference in his attitude. But ever since he came
abroad with Pearl, Kis demeanor took a 180–degree turn.
It was Pearl again! They all ditched her for Pearl!
Jenny’s sense of superiority vanished instantly. She felt completely embarrassed for the first

Frustration building up inside her, she angrily threw her phone to the ground, its loud sound catching
everyone’s attention.
Jenny suddenly felt a blow to her pride. Glancing around, she noticed people giving her strange looks.
She flushed and hastily left the airport.

Although his movements seemed casual, it was clear that the food in the pot was incredibly tempting.
