"Tell me if you're willing to talk terms then," Howard replied.
Howard seemed very sure of himself, and this made Pearl think he knew a lot more than theyexpected.
"Mister Howard, out of respect for you, I'd like to ask if you think Winona will be happy if I end upwith her?" Richard asked.
"Do you think she's happy now?" Howard seemed upset at the mention of Winona. With his long lifeexperience, how could he not know what had happened? "I watched Winona grow up, so how couldshe do something like that with a man on her wedding day? And you just happen to be there tocatch her. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"
Thinking that these two people before him worked together to hurt his granddaughter, all he wantedto do was tear them into pieces.
"So, you think I planned all this?" Richard replied calmly, as if he had nothing to do with it.
Howard was momentarily thrown off by Richard's calm demeanor. "There's no point in pretendingnow. Winona's name is ruined, and you should own up to it."
Richard, unfazed, responded, "That's her problem. Why am I to blame?"
"You have no choice, Richard Waldorf," Howard said, leaning back, his presence dominating. "Itseems you'd do anything for Pearl. Why not now?"novelbin
Pearl couldn't stay silent anymore. "Why are you threatening Richard? This is about me." She wascold yet calm. "That person just gave birth to me and nothing more. Do you really think I'd tradesomething for her life?"
Pearl was clear that if it was someone she truly cared about, she might consider it, but not forsomeone who had no role in her life.
"I didn't think you'd be so heartless," Howard said, his chuckle lacking any warmth. "This is a trade. Ican tell you more if you're interested, but I want something in return. If you don't care about yourmother's life or death, then it doesn't concern you."
At the mention of life or death, Pearl felt uneasy. "What do you mean by that?"
"Remember the new experiment I mentioned?" Howard brought up a topic he had discussed withPearl during her time at Jesselton Manor.
"You mean the human trial?" Pearl was shocked. Howard had talked about this experiment thatrequired a person with unique biological characteristics. He had initially said it was too cruel toproceed with and mentioned the rarity of finding a suitable subject.
"It turns out your mother was a perfect match for my experiment." Howard shook his head slightly,still looking confident.
