"Stay. We're going to clear this up today," Richard asserted firmly.
Frowning, Hugo's face turned cold. "She said she doesn't want to go with you, so stop making things difficult.”Richard frowned too. ‘Where did you hear that I'm making things difficult for her?"
Pearl, sensing the escalating tension, attempted to intervene. "Stop arguing. | have a solution!"
Both men stopped glaring at each other and turned to look at her. "You have a solution?"
"If both of you don't stop this, I'll live on my own, alright?"
"No!" They both protested simultaneously, thwarting her plan instantly.
Pearl was about to argue further when she suddenly felt unwell. This sensation acted as a wake up call, shattering her train ofthought.
She was very annoyed when Hugo remained obstinate. "You promised to treat my mother. Are you going to break yourpromise?"
Hugo raised his brows. "But | also mentioned that you must be engaged to me before | proceed with her treatment."Pear] relented. "Sure, let's do it now!"
Richard paused, and his expression underwent a transformation akin to enduring a frigid blizzard. His eyes took on a chillingintensity, sending shivers down everyone's spine. "Pearl, are you sure about this?"
Pearl had no choice but to provoke Richard at this point. "Yes, | gave my word, so | must follow through," As if to demonstrateher commitment, she moved closer, grabbed Hugo's arms, and said, "You should leave and allow me to live my life."
Richard's eyes darkened. "i believe you're merely saying this to make me angry, right?"
"No, it's the truth. In all honesty, my feclings for you have waned. It's your lingering emotions that are putting me in a dilemma. |confess there are still remnants of affection , but they're not enough for me to sacrifice my mother for you. Do you understand?"
This was too much for Richard to bear. Even though his heart ached, he managed to maintain composure in his voice. "I knowyou're trying to push me away."
“Why would | do that? | could have winked to show you that I'm just acting so | don't have to say all that. Aren't you narcissistic?”

“Let me ask you one last time. Are you sure you want to get engaged to Hugo without considering other consequences?"Pearl clenched her jaw and replied, "I don't want to repeat myself so let's not waste everyone's time."
