Chapter 188

After the meeting ended, the person who had mocked Sophia approached Pearl. “Pea, I think the

president is playing favorites!

”

Pearl was already feeling annoyed, so when she heard that, she raised her brows. “Why do you say

that?”

“This proposal was supposed to be yours. I don’t know what Sophia did to get such an important task

from him. I feel angry for you!”

Pearl didn’t mind, so she shook her head. “It doesn’t matter who writes the proposal, as long as it’s

done well.”

That person couldn’t stand it. “Pea, you’re so naive. You better keep an eye on that fox!”

Pearl smiled and didn’t say anything. Sophia was just a young woman trying to show her potential. That

didn’t make her a cunning fox.

Suddenly, Pearl felt dizzy, likely due to the immense stress she had been under recently. She shook

her head and took a few steps, but her vision went black, and she collapsed to the floor.

Richard saw her through the glass door and immediately rushed to her aid, opening the door to help

her up. Pearl appeared unusually flushed, so he touched her forehead, alarmed by her warmth.

“How could you not realize you have a fever?” scolded Richard as he scooped her up, preparing to

take her to the hospital.

Sophia saw what happened and hurried over. “Mister Richard, what happened to Pea?” She sounded

genuinely concerned for

Pearl.

“She has a fever. I’m taking her to the hospital.”

Sophia looked at him eagerly. “May I come along? I want to take care of her. She’s helped me a lot

recently, so I want to return

the favor.”

Richard nodded, moved by her sincerity.

The three of them went to the hospital, and after a thorough check-up by the doctor, Pearl was placed

in a room for IV

treatment.

Richard went to settle the bill, and Sophia excused herself to use the restroom. This left Pearl alone in

the room.

The door to the room slowly opened, revealing a shadowy figure who cautiously scanned the

surroundings. Seeing no one else in the room, the figure approached Pearl’s bed.

It was Abby, who had been gone for some time. She appeared weary, as if she had been through a lot.

She was wearing a white coat, pretending to be a doctor doing her rounds.

“Oh, Pearl, you’ve fallen into my hands in the end, haven’t you?” Abby hissed, her face contorted with

anger. “Look at what you’ve done to me. The Waldorfs have rejected me, and my father sent me out of

the country, saying I’m a disgrace. It’s all your fault!”

Abby’s eyes fixated on Pearl’s neck, and she extended her hands, seemingly intent on strangling her.

Suddenly, footsteps approached from outside, causing Abby to stop. She adjusted her coat and quickly

left the room.

Sophia returned from the restroom and noticed Abby walking out. “We have a different doctor?”

“Oh… The doctor sent me here to check on the patient’s condition. She seems fine, so I’m heading

back,” Abby replied, head lowered to conceal her anxiety.

Sophia was confused but chose not to press further. She just nodded and went into the room.

Abby took a deep breath and quickly left.

It was at that moment that Pearl regained consciousness, and as she opened her eyes, the first thing

she saw was Sophia, smiling down at her.
