Female Novel
Chapter 932
Pearl was a little uncertain at this point. She understood how cruel the experiment would be, so shewouldn't be able to accept it if her biological mother was used as a test subject.
Howard could see the hesitation in her eyes and walked over, then tapped her shoulder as heusually would. He even sounded friendlier now. "Pearl, you're my student, so I won't want to doanything to make you sad. However, you should know that my granddaughter has been wronged,and if something happens to her, I would be a shame to the family."
This sounded like advice, but it was all for his own benefit. Pearl knew that, but she couldn't sayanything when all he said were facts.
"I know you might not be able to accept this immediately, and I might be lying to you, but I can't doanything if you don't believe me."
Pearl's eyes flickered. "I believe you."
"Good, good."
Richard's face looked cold as ice, shooting a glare at him. "Anything else you want to bring up?"
"Not for now. I only have one condition, and it's for you to split up with Pearl and marry Winona."
There wasn't room for negotiation. Pearl lowered her head and didn't say anything.
"I know you won't be able to deal with this now, so I'll give you three days. Show me that you'vegotten a divorce after that." Howard then checked his watch. "It's getting late. I should send youhome if you have nothing else to add."
"It's fine, we'll get home by ourselves." Richard couldn't hold his anger anymore. But he didn't wantto make a mistake, so he just grabbed Pearl's hand and left.
Howard wasn't offended, but the butler thought the two young people were rude.
"There's nothing rude about it. You might not be as calm as they are in this situation."
The butler was annoyed. "I don't understand. You saved Pearl, yet her way of thanking you was towork with that man to frame your granddaughter." In his eyes, Pearl was an ungrateful woman.
"Indeed, they did something wrong. But did you know Winona tried to break their relationshipapart?" Howard hadn't spoken to anyone else in a long time, so he was tired. "Unfortunately, I'mWinona's grandpa, so I have to be on her side."
"Richard is right. If you force him to marry Miss Winona, she might not be happy either."
Howard rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "If Winona missed her chance with theperson she loved, she wouldn't be happy either. Sometimes, the things we miss in the past wouldhaunt us for life. If that's the case, why not let her figure things out for herself?"
"You've thought about everything." The butler understood what he meant.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's head home."

After leaving, Pearl and Richard remained silent, with neither of them bringing up the incident.
They went back to Waldorf Residence, hand in hand as if they just finished work. However, theysaw someone standing in front of their gate looking around, as if she was waiting for someone.
When Pearl walked over, Esther lept into her arms.
"Pearl! I have something to tell you!"novelbin
Looking at her expression, Pearl smiled and patted her head. "What's the rush? Just tell meanything. Why did you have to come all the way here?"
