Ezra's face lit up with genuine joy, a rare sight for Pearl.
"You're a wonderful granddaughter. You take after me, and you're far better than that disappointingBlake," he remarked with pride, reaching out his hand.
Pearl walked over and placed her hand in his.
"From now on, you'll need to guide Blake. He's as mischievous as his brother and lacksunderstanding. Despite being older than you, you possess more wisdom. You must teach him welland stop him from being too impulsive."
"But why didn't you teach him yourself?" Pearl inquired.
Ezra's expression darkened in frustration. "I tried, but he never listened. However, he respects youand values your opinion." Sighing, he continued, "As for me, I'm ready to retire and rest well."
Pearl's warmth toward him faded slightly, suspecting his motives for retiring and leaving everythingto her. Nonetheless, she expressed her gratitude for his support, as the Jordan Group rankedamong the top three companies in Bodgow, wielding immense influence.
After bidding Ezra farewell, Pearl was surprised to find Blake waiting for her outside, standing on anearby bridge with flowers at his feet. It seemed he had casually picked them out of boredom.
"You're still here. Aren't you bored waiting?" Pearl asked as she approached.
Blake glanced at her, his expression seemingly reproachful. "Yes, I'm bored. But you're not familiarwith this place. What if you get lost when I leave?"
Noticing the documents in her hands, Blake asked about them. "What are those?"novelbin
Pearl had nothing to hide, so she explained, "Grandfather gave these to me. I now have controlover the Jordan Group. You'd better listen to me."
Blake's expression soured. "I should have known. You called him 'Grandfather,' and he practicallyhanded over the entire family to you."
"He even instructed me to discipline you," Pearl added with a hint of amusement.
The mention of discipline infuriated Blake. "I'm older than you. I don't need you to discipline me.Grandfather must be losing his mind to suggest such nonsense!"
He stormed off in a huff, leaving Pearl unfazed.
Pearl watched his back and said firmly, "By the way, I'm returning to Enswood the day aftertomorrow."
This halted Blake in his tracks. "What? Why so soon?"
Pearl nodded. "I have something important to do."
Blake paused, considering her words. "Then I'll accompany you."
Pearl smiled. "Great, but I'll need your help with planning my mother's funeral first. After that, wecan head back together."
Blake sighed, realizing he had more work ahead of him.
