1/1

Richard had his men surround the Sanders Residence, just in case he couldn’t find the suspects if

something happened to Pearl. As luck would have it, their presence became handy now.

“I still remember the waiter who had led the way for me.” Pearl casually scanned the surroundings, her

gaze landing on the waiter who had led her to the room. The poor man’s legs went weak, and he began

to tremble.

“Why are you so nervous? I haven’t accused you of anything yet,” Pearl remarked, crossing her arms.

Seeing the waiter’s profuse sweating, she decided she had seen enough. “Listen, did Sophia ask you

to take me to that room?”

However, the waiter refused to divulge the truth, fearing the consequences for himself and his innocent

child. “No, I don’t know Miss Sophia. I led you there because you seemed drunk and asked for help.”

Raising her brows, Pearl asked, “Aren’t you going to tell the truth?” She felt no sympathy for him since

he chose not to

cooperate.

“It didn’t have anything to do with me. Please don’t involve me in this,” the waiter implored.

Sophia, feeling smug, said, “See, Pearl? Karma is waiting for you.”

Pearl understood that Sophia would face the consequences of her actions later, but it was not her

concern at the moment. Observing the waiter’s clothes, Pearl smiled and asked, “You have a daughter,

don’t you?”

Stunned, the waiter didn’t understand why Pearl raised that question. But when he saw her looking at

his collar, he asked, ” How did you know?”

“Your clothes are neatly pressed and have a pleasant scent. It indicates you’re married, and your wife

likely takes care of your clothing. Additionally, when you panicked earlier, you inadvertently revealed

your phone’s lock screen, showing a charming little girl who bears a resemblance to you. I assume

that’s your daughter, correct?” Pearl explained.

The waiter was surprised by Pearl’s keen perception but remained stubborn. “What does my daughter

have to do with any of this?”

“Your daughter is relevant because Sophia is using her to blackmail you,” Pearl declared, her logical

analysis making Sophia

uneasy.

“Nonsense! I don’t even know this man. How could I possibly threaten him with his daughter?” Sophia

retorted.

Silently, Pearl gestured, and Esther handed her a bag.

Sophia’s eyes widened. “Isn’t that my bag? Give it back to me!” She made an attempt to snatch it, but

her sudden movement caused her blanket to slip, and she belatedly realized her exposure.

After being exposed in front of everyone twice in a row, Sophia felt a profound sense of humiliation as

she hastily wrapped herself in the blanket.

From Sophia’s bag, Pearl retrieved a pink and adorable hairclip adorned with a pink rabbit. “Is this your

daughter’s hairclip?”

The waiter squinted his eyes and, after a fierce internal struggle, finally nodded. “Yes.”

Sophia, filled with spite, glared at him. “Ridiculous! I’ve never even met your daughter!”

Overwhelmed by hate, the waiter gave up denying the truth. “Yes, she forced me to drug your drink,

Miss Pearl. But I forgot the way and led you to the wrong room. Then, Miss Sophia entered that room

herself. You can punish me, but please save my daughter. She’s been kidnapped.”

He fell to his knees, repeatedly and humbly banging his head against the floor.
