As soon as Pearl opened the door, a dark figure burst in and grabbed her arm.

Startled, she stepped back. But upon closer inspection, she realized it was Mobius. "Mobius, why are you here at this hour?"

"Pearl... You know where Esther is, right? Please tellwhere she is," Mobius implored urgently.

Pearl sensed something was wrong but answered truthfully, "She's probably sleeping at home. What's going on?"

Mobius shook his head. "No, Esther is with a man at his place.”

Pearl felt a surge of anxiety. "What? James brought Esther to his place?"

That jerk. Pearl had thought James was a decent guy, but now she realized he was capable of something terrible. It would have been bad enough if

Esther were sober, but if she was drunk, she could easily be taken advantage of.

"James..." Mobius muttered the nwith venom, his eyes burning with hatred. "Do you know where he lives, Pea? I'm going to find Esther!"

Pearl shook her head, reacting quickly. "No, | don't." She genuinely had no idea where James lived.

"I'm sure you know something about this, Pea. Please don't hide things from me, okay?" Mobius's voice trembled. "I can't lose her. | love her. Please

believe me!"

Turning to Richard, who had been lurking in the shadows, Mobius begged, "Please help me, Rick. | love Esther so much. Can you talk to Pearl

please?"

Pearl noticed Richard standing nearby for the first time. He seemed to be distancing himself from the situation, unwilling to get involved.

"Stop ruining the family name, Mobius," he coldly warned.

Mobius was at his lowest point, feeling his heart sink even further.

Pearl felt sorry for him, but she also found it ironic. "Honestly, Mobius, | know pretty much everything about what you've done.”

Mobius froze, his expression stricken.

"You clearly love Esther, and she loves you too, but it's difficult for things to go back to how they were. Forgiveness is possible, but forgetting is not,"

Pearl explained gently.

Tears welled up in Mobius's eyes. "I don't stand a chance anymore, do 1?"

"Did you know what Esther told me? She said she doesn't regret meeting you or what you've been through, but if she could go back, she wouldn't

choose you again. It doesn't mean she hates you. She just can't handle how things ended," Pearl revealed softly.

For the first time, tears streamed down Mobius's face, dampening the ground beneath him. "I'm sorry."

Pearl pulled out a napkin from her pocket and comforted him, patting his shoulder. "It's okay. Let go of this burden. Leave each other with fond

memories, and as for the rest, let it be. You'll heal in time."

Let go? Heal?

Hearing Pearl's words, Richard glanced at her with a cold gaze but was surprised to find her looking back at him.
