Chapter 132

Pearl’s wrist was grasped tightly, and the next thing she knew, she was in Richard’s arms.

“Pearl, repeat what you just said,” Richard whispered into her ear, his gaze locked onto hers.

They were pressed closely together, their skin touching. Pearl felt like a helpless chick in his arms,

unable to free herself from his grip.

“I didn’t say anything.”

“You’re going to deny it?”

In her struggle, Pearl moved around too much, causing a button on her clothing to pop off. A glimpse of

her fair skin was revealed, and Richard’s eyes inadvertently caught it, his gaze intensifying.

“I didn’t… Mmm!” Before she could say anything further, he hugged her even tighter, his kiss sealing

lips.

Richard had just taken some medicine, so his lips tasted sweet. Pearl’s mind went blank, and she

allowed him

to kiss her.

Eventually, Richard let her go when she didn’t respond to the kiss and instead wore a shocked

expression. He waved his hand in front of her face.

Pearl shook her head, slowly coming to the realization that she had been kissed. All she could manage

to ask was, “Richard, is the medicine working?”

Richard took her hand and pressed it against his chest, allowing her to feel his strong heartbeat, which

caused her own heart rate to quicken.

“What do you think?” he replied with a smirk.

“Assh*le!” Pearl snapped back, kicking his chest. He leaned back slightly to avoid her kick.

“I didn’t say if it’s working or not,” he remarked casually, as if he had just sipped water rather than taken

medicine.

“Alright, I’m leaving now.” Pearl turned to leave, but as she did, she found Susan standing at the door,

poised to knock.

Susan took in the disheveled scene before her and was left speechless. She then noticed Pearl’s

rumpled attire, a missing button, and smudged lipstick, and she also noted Richard’s blushing face and

open robe, revealing his exposed chest.

“What…” Susan couldn’t believe her eyes. All her efforts in warning her son went to waste because of

Pearl.

“How could you be so shameless, Pearl? You’re a girl. You shouldn’t be in the same room if you’re not

married. Are you trying to sleep with him and force your way into the family? I won’t let that happen!”

Susan struggled to catch her breath, and her body, which had just recovered, started acting up again.

“You’re overthinking, Madam. I would never use such a method to marry into the family. I’m not

interested in that,” Pearl said coldly.

“Rick, explain yourself.”

Not only did Richard fail to offer an explanation, but he casually stated, “I initiated it.”

Susan was furious. “What have you done, Rick? Have you forgotten what I told you last night? Pearl

isn’t a good match for you!”

“I don’t like her. I thought you knew.”

Susan tried to advise him, “Rick, feelings can develop. You can’t simply reject her because you don’t

like her yet. I’ve known her for years, so how could I be wrong? She made some mistakes in the past,

but it was all because she loved you too much. Give her a chance, and you’ll discover how nice-”

“Enough. I only have feelings for Pearl.” Richard heard this too many times and was tired of it.

Abby, who was standing at the door holding a glass of water, heard his words and dropped the glass in

shock.
