Chapter 335

The butler couldn’t fathom why Richard and Pearl would share their private affairs with him. If the

master found out about this, he’d likely fire him for failing to maintain their privacy. However, he

concealed his frustration and replied, “I don’t know anything. The master had more tasks for me, so I

need to get going.”

Pearl had never seen the butler walk so fast. She turned to look at Richard, her expression a mix of

curiosity and irritation.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Richard was pretending to be innocent.

Pearl took a deep breath to calm down. “I’m going to visit Blake at the hospital later. Do you want to

come with me?”

Richard’s smile disappeared when he realized Pearl kept running around to meet another man. “No.”

“Why? Do you want to have tea with my grandpa?” Pearl was interested to see how he was going to

deal with the old man.

Richard frowned, not relishing the idea of pretending to be nice to Pearl’s grandfather when he didn’t

particularly like the old man. “I’ll drive you there.”

They gathered their belongings and headed to the hospital.

Upon arrival, they found Blake and Glenn sharing a laugh. When they noticed Pearl and Richard, they

greeted them. “You’re here.”

“Let me see your back.” Pearl was glad to see that Blake appeared to be recovering well.

“No way!”

Both Blake and Richard spoke at the same time. Blake looked shy while Richard looked angry. He

could tear Blake up right then and there.

“I’m a physician. Why are you two acting weird?” Undeterred, Pearl forcefully lifted the back of Blake’s

shirt and inspected his wound, satisfied with what she saw. “You’re recovering nicely, just as expected.

You should be fine in two to three days.”

Blake, taken aback by Pearl’s strength, mumbled, “Are you even a woman, Pearl?” He had never seen

a woman who had such strong wrist strength. He couldn’t move when she was holding his arm!

“If I’m not, are you?” Pearl mocked. Who should feel more embarrassed in a situation where a man is

overpowered by a woman?

Blake blushed in embarrassment and didn’t say anything.

Richard’s expression darkened as he watched the interaction between Pearl and Blake. His jealousy

was palpable as he said, “Are you done?”

“Oh, are you jealous? Why would you be jealous of your girl’s cousin? You’re so petty,” Blake taunted.

Richard’s cold glare moved to Blake’s face, carrying an unmistakable threat.

“Why are you glaring at me? Look at him, Pearl. Your man is so fierce.” Blake, oblivious to the danger

he was in, mocked Richard

Richard squinted. “You said that I’m fierce?”

Blake replied firmly, “So what if I did? You’re at my place now. If you start yelling at me, I’ll kick you out.”

Pearl, growing weary of their bickering, interjected, “Enough, both of you are injured. Could you please

stop arguing?” The noise was grating on her nerves, and she smiled awkwardly to defuse the tension.

Before she had gotten to know Blake’s true character, Pearl had perceived him as an enigmatic, aloof

figure-cold, unapproachable, and seemingly annoyed all the time. However, upon closer acquaintance,

she realized he was more of a playful, childish soul who often hid deeper meanings in his words.

Blake, deciding not to push Richard’s buttons further, conceded, “If it wasn’t for Pearl, I’m not going to

let this go.”

“If you do, I won’t hold back.” Richard was 6 feet and two inches. With his cold expression and

menacing temper, he indeed looked capable of beating people up.
