“What’s your next move?” Wayne frowned. “You can’t just leave under this false accusation. It’s like

you’re trying to escape punishment.”

Laughing, Pearl said, “Of course not. I won’t stand for this false accusation. Right now, the most

important thing is to find proof that Abby pushed Richard’s mother down the stairs.”

Wayne tilted his head thoughtfully. “What’s your plan?”

“There’s no surveillance system in the house, and there were only three of us at the top of the stairs at

that time. I don’t have eyewitnesses, but Abby said something harsh before pushing Richard’s mother.

I’m certain Richard’s mother heard it. So…”

Enlightened, Wayne interrupted, “So, we should wait for her to wake up and have her testify against

Abby.”

“Pretty close.” Pearl smiled and shook her head. “What we need to do is make Abby confess her

wrongdoing and secretly record her statement, as I can’t guarantee she won’t attempt anything against

Richard’s mother again.”

Her words made Wayne frown. “She’s so cruel that she might even harm the woman who took care of

her.”

“People can be blinded by love, but Abby has taken ruthless measures.”

Wayne commended her, “Miss Pearl, you did a very good analysis. But how do you feel about Richard?

You don’t seem very pleased, given that you’re drowning your sorrows in wine.”

Pearl undoubtedly felt disappointed and hurt.

She smiled, taking a sip of the bitter wine. “Let’s not dwell on that. I need your help with something right

now.”

Leaning against the sofa languidly, Wayne suddenly straightened up at her request. “Go ahead. What

is it?”

“Help me gather some people to keep watch over Richard’s mother to prevent Abby’s people from

approaching her. Abby might find someone to do something to her. If Abby succeeds, Richard’s mother

might never wake up.”

Pearl believed that given Abby’s character, she was capable of such actions. After all, Susan was

Richard’s mother. Though Pearl had her reservations about Susan, she still respected her as an elder.

She didn’t wish any harm upon Susan because it would devastate Richard. Furthermore, Pearl had

experienced the anguish of losing her parents and didn’t want Richard to endure the same pain.

“Richard got you wrong. Why are you so concerned about him and helping him? He doesn’t deserve

your kindness.” Wayne rolled his eyes, sensing that Pearl had transformed into a lovesick fool.

Clearing her throat, Pearl explained, “She’s the mother of the five Waldorf brothers. Some of them are

close to me, and I don’t want to let them down.”

However, this explanation sounded far from convincing because Wayne knew her well.

“Okay, I understand.”

After a few more glasses of wine, Pearl began to feel dizzy, her stomach churning. She decided to

head to the

restroom.

As she reached the restroom, she spotted a familiar figure. She wondered if it was Richard and why he

was

there.

But before she could address him, the figure turned around. While he resembled Richard, it wasn’t him.

A sudden desire grabbed the man’s reason when he saw the drunk woman getting close to him.

“Hey, pretty. Where are you from? Why did you drink so much? I feel sorry for you.”

Pearl found him familiar but couldn’t recall who he was. She staggered and took a step back as he

approached.
