Chapter 663
Pearl mustered her strength to endure and observed their surroundings carefully while mentally
mapping out the routes they had taken.
After some time, the car came to a gradual stop, prompting Pearl to squint and look around, Her heart
sank when she recognized the distinctive building at the entrance–it was the Adley family’s residence.
Owen sure was bold by bringing her back to his house once again.
With a sudden bang, the car door swung open. Pearl promptly feigned unconsciousness as two people
carried her away.
The paths grew darker as they advanced. Concealing her awareness, Pearl discreetly opened her eyes
and observed her surroundings as they carried her to a small, toncealed door. Someone awaited their
arrival by the entrance, which added to the secrecy of the place. The room’s dimly lit interior felt
suffocating. Pearl couldn’t help but notice the stark difference from the previous location; this wasn’t the
path to the main hall.
Curiosity piqued, she wondered where Owen was taking her as they brought her to yet another, even
more concealed, door. It would have gone unnoticed if one didn’t scrutinize it closely.
A sense of foreboding gripped her as she pieced the clues together.
Narrowing her eyes, Pearl surveyed the room once more. As expected, it was a cellar. Shock replaced
her calm facade, and she failed to notice Owen’s approach.
Suddenly, he slapped her across the face and let out a sinister laugh. “Alright, stop pretending. You’ll
wake up soon if you don’t smell that knockout incense.”
Pearl’s heart skipped a beat. It was useless to keep on pretending, so she slowly opened her eyes.
“Do you know why I didn’t search your body, Miss Pearl?” Owen’s gaze was filled with greed as he
looked at her, his intentions clear.
“Why?” Pearl intentionally wore a helpless and frightened look.
Her weakness convinced Owen. “It’s because I installed a signal–blocking device. No one will hear you
down here.”
“So, what do you want?” Although Pearl looked terrified, she found this cunning man disgusting.
“I’ll drop the act since you’re here. Give me back my machete, Miss Pearl. And… spend one night withnovelbin
me. I’ll let you go then. What do you say?” Owen kept his lecherous grin, a disgusting sight.
‘Machete?‘
Pearl got distracted and realized she had forgotten about the machete in Zinedine’s club… “The
machete… I don’t know where it is.” Pearl acted dumb.

“Quit pretending, I heard everything. You wanted to give that machete to Mister Zinedine, didn’t you?”
“Yeah, I did say that. But I never said it was your machete, did I? Also, I don’t even have it, Don’t you
remember your father gave it to someone else yesterday?”
Her response seemed logical, but it wasn’t easy to fool Owen. He furrowed his brows, seemingly deep
in thought, but his fury flared when he recalled something.
“Stop lying! What are the odds? You asked for the machete, and he wanted it too. You even know each
other. He’s your fiance, isn’t he? A woman told me everything!”
Tears welled up in Pearl’s eyes. “Yes, Richard was my fiance, but he called off our engagement for
another woman’s sake. And that woman despises me and constantly harasses me. Is that woman
called Jenny?”
It could only be Jenny, Pearl had grown irritated with her relentless targeting of her, no matter where
she went.
Her tears successfully made the angry Owen helpless. He said impatiently, “I don’t know who that is
but stop lying to me. I won’t trust you again.”
Pearl sobbed, “You can just get her here to confront me to see if I’m lying or not. Please don’t let her
fool you. You’re always a rational man to me, Mister Owen,”
“Fine, I’ll call and get her here!” Owen didn’t care about that. All he wanted was Pearl.
She nodded and smiled bashfully. “Thank you, Owen.”
Pearl’s coquettish acts made her more charming and irresistible. Impulsively, he inched closer, taking
her hand in his and caressing it. “Don’t worry. If you’re telling the truth, I’ll make her pay, I won’t let that
woman off the hook.”
“Okay.” Gloom filled Pearl’s eyes. Although Owen had complied with her request, she felt disgusted
when he touched her hand so recklessly.
Owen made a call, putting it on speaker mode in front of Pearl. The latter wore a bashful smile. as she
looked at him.
Jenny answered the call quickly, eagerly agreeing to come over, relishing the opportunity to witness
Pearl’s misery.
Half an hour later, Jenny arrived at the cellar.
She was filled with joy upon seeing Pearl on the floor, her hands bound. Her voice turned sharp as she
mocked Pearl, “Well, well, isn’t this Pearl? Tied up so miserably?”
Pearl smiled and ignored Jenny’s taunts, making her infuriated.
Jenny squatted down to look at Pearl, suppressing the urge to slap her. Instead, she pinched Pearl’s
chin harshly while saying in a gentle tone, “Hey, why so arrogant now that you’re tied up? I feel so sorry
for you, Pearl,”
Pearl simply turned her affectionate, tearful eyes to Owen,
That glance moved Owen’s heart, and he couldn’t bear to see Pearl in such a state. He
forcefully pulled Jenny aside. “I didn’t ask you to come here and torment Pearl. I’ve got some questions
for you.”
Jenny’s jealouey drove her mad,
dering hove Pearl could bewitch all the men around her.
Chen still took Pearl’s side even though Pearl had done that kind of thing.
Despite her anger, Jenny had to pretend and act docile in Owen’s presence. “Of course, go
ahead and ask you questions. I just hope you won’t be fooled by her.”
Certainly, she was very willing as long as Pearl was punished.
