Chapter 172

“Yes, of course. Alright, both of you, please step out. I’ll administer some injections and treatments to

this lady.” Simon pushed both Richard and Pearl out of the room and closed the door.

Standing outside, Richard looked at Pearl with an unfathomable expression.

Pearl noticed his concern and reassured him, “Don’t worry. Despite Simon’s attitude, he’s dedicated to

his work He’ll save

Missus Susan

Richard nodded but seemed to disregard her words as he inquired instead, “Are you planning to return

to work at the company?”

“Going back to the company…”

Awkwardness filled Pearl when she recalled that she hadn’t informed Richard in person about her

abrupt departure from the company the other day.

“Do I… have to go back?”

Richard replied gloomily, “I’ve been keeping the director’s position in the design department for you.”

His sincerity made Pearl nod firmly. “Okay, I’ll go back to work there.”

“I think Mister Simon needs some time to save my mom. I’ll help take your things back to the company

now.”

Shocked, Pearl asked, “Do I have to go back today?”

“Yes, I hope you can resume your duties at Waldorf Enterprises today.” Following that, Richard

furrowed his brow, recalling the events of that morning. “I’d also prefer if you came back and lived with

us tonight, rather than continuing to stay in that

place.”

At a glance, Richard could tell that Raymond had some ulterior motives toward Pearl, and it was best if

Pearl stayed far away from Raymond.

Yet, apprehension gripped Pearl as she recollected what had happened at the Waldorf Residence. “But

I…”

“No more ‘buts’ Come home with me.” Richard felt very uncomfortable at the thought of Pearl being

close to Raymond.

His jealousy made Pearl think of Raymond. “What’s bothering you? Are you still worried about

Raymond?”

“I’m glad you know that.” Richard gave Pearl a cold look.

Snickering inwardly, Pearl forced herself to nod. “Okay, let’s go back now. Don’t worry about Missus

Susan because my

mentor can heal her alone.”

After a brief discussion, they returned to Waldorf Enterprises.

Sean had been managing Waldorf Enterprises these days because Richard rarely went to the

company. He had been performing commendably, seeking to prove himself.

“Pearl?” Sean was alarmed when he saw her. “Why did you bring Pearl here? Didn’t she leave?”

Although Dustan didn’t hold Sean in high regard, Susan treated all her sons equally. Of course, Sean

would have some prejudice against Pearl after Susan’s sudden accident.

“Pearl came back to work here,” Richard stated plainly without any explanation.

“Richard, have you forgotten what Pearl did the other day? That’s our mom! She’s in this condition, and

we don’t even know when she’ll wake up. And now you’re getting along so well with Pearl. How could

you do this when Mom was so kind to you?”

Sean lost control of himself and said angrily, “Richard, I let you take care of Mom because you wanted

to, while I managed the company by myself. Why are you doing this?”

Richard didn’t expect such words from Sean, as the latter had always been carefree. For a moment, he

was rendered speechless.

Suddenly, Pearl stepped forward and stated calmly, “I didn’t harm her.”
