Pearl watched as Richard left and hesitated , her hand outstretched as if to reach out to him. However, she stopped herself in mid-

air. "Richard...

w Amocking smile appeared on Hugo's lips: "Why do you have to be so thorough? It pissed him off."

“Don't worry about it. I've promised you now, so you should cure my mother as soon as possible." Pearl lowered her head and took

a deep breath, her eyes betraying a hint of sadness.

Hugo should be happy to hear that, but he felt a little annoyed. His gaze revealed a mix of complicated emotions. "So you only got

engaged toto save your mother, right?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Pearl retorted. Considering his previous behavior and how he had used this situation to manipulate her, was it

Hugo got the answer he had expected , and the remaining hope in his eyes shattered. "Okay, | get it. Once we're engaged, | will

start treating her."

"My mom only has a little over a month left to live!"

Pearl was anxious. She had agreed to all of Hugo's conditions and ended her relationship with Richard just to expedite her mother's

treatment.

However, Hugo seemed to be constantly delaying it.

Hugo noticed her icy glare, and it pained him further. "When do you want to get engaged then?"

"Three days from now. Three days should be enough for the preparations."

Since it was their engagement, Pearl felt the need to show Hugo srespect. After all, Hugo represented not only himself but

also the Harrison family.

* News that Hugo was about to gct engaged to an unknown woman quickly spread to every corner of the city.

On the day of the engagement, Pearl was in her room, applying makeup when Hugo suddenly barged in. He was dressed in an

impeccably tailored grey suit that accentuated his flawless physique.

Observing Pearl seated at her dressing table, a deeper smile appeared on his face. "I'll give you one last chance. Are you sure

you're not going to regret it?"

Pearl picked up a lipstick and, after applying it, tummed to face the man next to her. "lt doesn't matter now."

Hugo shrugged. "Very well, then let's go downstairs together."

Pearl nodded, expressionless.

Hugo extended his hand like a gentleman, helping Pearl to her feet before leading her downstairs.

Their engagement celebration took place at the Waldorf family villa.

This location had gradually beca symbol of Hugo's prominence in high society. Consequently, numerous guests attended his

engagement party.

After escorting Pearl downstairs, Hugo was occupied with other guests, leaving her to her own devices. Desiring a moment of

solitude, she found a quiet corner, took a seat on a couch, and began nibbling on snacks.

Before long, she had devoured an entire serving of snacks. Feeling her dress becoming slightly tight, she stopped and glanced at

the glass of ted wine nearby.

She reached for the glass, but someone snatched it away from her.

Pear]! looked at the person in front of her and calmly said, "You're pregnant. | don't think drinking is a good idea."
