Chapter 144

Stretching her body a bit, Pearl found Abby’s greeting ridiculous.

“If you don’t have anything else to say, I’m going back to bed.” Pearl turned to go back to her room,

Susan stopped her.

“Pearl, a moment.” Susan then went upstairs and signaled Abby to accompany her.

but

“Pearl, I really do like you. You’re smart and pretty, and many men like you. Why do you want to be with

Rick I hope you’ll be sensible and leave him soon. Then we can get along well with each other. Don’t

worry, all of my sons are exceptional. You can choose any of them except Rick. If not, I can even

introduce you to a few young rich heirs. I won’t be unfair to you.” She sounded quite tactful, and Pearl

would appear unreasonable

if she refused.

However, Pearl took a step back and smiled. “I made myself very clear, Madam. I don’t have a say in

who Richard chooses to be with. And neither do you. His choice of a spouse is his business.”

Fuming with anger, Susan wanted to slap Pearl, but Pearl acted fast and tilted her body to dodge

Susan’s

hand.

Unsteady, Susan nearly tumbled down the stairs, but Pearl immediately grabbed Susan’s wrist.

“Hold on tight, Madam.”

Despite their conflict, Pearl wouldn’t stand by and watch Susan roll down the stairs.

Meanwhile, Abby stood nearby with a wicked smile, observing the situation.

“I sincerely want to marry Rick, Madam. I hope you can understand me. You’re willing to make some

sacrifices for me, right?”

Hearing Abby’s words, Susan looked at her in disbelief.

Suddenly, Abby shoved Pearl, causing Pearl to let go of Susan’s wrist.

Pearl managed to regain her balance, but Susan lost control of herself and rolled down the stairs,

screaming piteously.

Witnessing Susan’s fall, Abby was taken aback and screamed, “Ah!”

As a result, panic swept through the house, and everyone was startled when they saw Susan lying on

the

floor.

After a quick assessment, Hugo frowned and said, “Mom lost consciousness right after falling down the

stairs. I suspect she has multiple fractures. Hurry up and call for the ambulance!”

Richard promptly made the call and explained the situation. Then, he looked at Pearl and Abby.

“What happened?”

Still stunned, Pearl wanted to explain, but Abby spoke up first. “Rick, it’s my fault. Madam got upset

with Pearl because of me, and that’s why this accident happened. It’s all my fault.” As she spoke, Abby

cried piteously. “But Madam is innocent. She won’t be able to bear it if the culprit gets away with it.”

Abby distorted the facts because she believed Susan couldn’t testify against her after such a fall from

the high stairs. She felt that Susan might be either dead or seriously injured.

On the other hand, Pearl anticipated that Abby would make such a claim. She gave Abby a cold look

and said, “You did that on purpose to frame me, didn’t you?”
