Ezra hoped Pearl would initiate the conversation, giving him leverage in their interaction. Unfortunately, Pearl inherited his stubbornness and had her

own agenda.

"Talking about the past won't change anything now that she's gone. Let's discuss something else. If you don't want to talk, it's fine," she suggested,

casually biting into an apple from the table. It was sweet and refreshing. No wonder it was something being delivered to the Jordan Residence.

"I had underestimated you," Ezra admitted.

Pearl raised her brows, her smile unfathomable. "I thought you knewwell."

"Very well, then let's talk about your mother.”

"I'm all ears," Pearl responded, intrigued.

For the next hour, Pearl listened as Ezra recounted Beah's life experiences. Though familiar, hearing it again left Pearl in awe. Beah had been a

beloved figure in Bodgow, charming many with her grace and lineage.

"| was furious when your mother chose to marry that man. | forbade it and grounded her," Ezra confessed, still seething at the memory. He felt that

Pearl's father was poor because the latter didn't even have 40 million dollars.

Ezra's disdain for Pearl's father, a poor man, concerned her, hinting at tensions within the family. As expected, not all people could be compared with

the Jordans, given the latter's power.

"What happened next?" Pearl inquired.

"| arranged a marriage for her, but she eloped with that poor guy on their wedding day," Ezra revealed with bitterness. He sipped stea, then

gritted his teeth after.

"Did you try to find them?" Pearl asked.

"I did, but tragedy struck that night. Your aunt took her life," Ezra explained, his tone heavy with regret. "I couldn't bear to lose another daughter, so |

let them be."

Feelings of helplessness and bitterness hit Pearl as she remembered the incident she was aware of. She realized that Beah had been able to find

happiness with Max by hiding her identity, but at a great cost. It was a pity that the price was one's life.

"That's also why | opposed your relationship with a Waldorf," Ezra confessed.

Pearl knew her response might anger him, but she couldn't hold back. "But why condemn every Waldorf for one person's actions?"

Ezra sneered. "It's not just his mistake. The Waldorf family tried to shield him and helped that b*stard escape from punishment. But the more they

wanted to hide his mistake, the more | wanted him to rot in jail. Il make sure he faces justice.”

Pearl sensed the depth of his anger. The murderer had escaped punishment, a sore point for Ezra. His daughter had died with a grievance, but the

culprit didn't even confess his cror feel guilty. Instead, he used all kinds of connections to escape from punishment.

She understood Ezra's actions; she would be very angry if it were her. But even so, she wouldn't sacrifice her love because of the Jordan family and

the other irrelevant people.

"So, do you still want to stopfrom dating Richard?" Pearl challenged.
