Chapter 368

Before Pearl could say anything, Richard said, “She loves fresh fish and fried food.”

There was a brief moment of silence between the three of them after Richard’s statement.

The meal was excruciating. Other than Jenny cutting up some food for Richard, nothing much

happened.

Pearl noticed Richard stealing glances at her whenever she looked up, but he quickly averted his gaze.

This further solidified her suspicion that he was keeping something from her.

After finishing their lunch, Pearl decided to leave them. Jenny likely assumed that Pearl couldn’t

tolerate how nicely Richard was treating her, so she left, holding onto Richard’s arm.

Just as Pearl was leaving, she received a call from Esther, and it sounded urgent. She could even hear

cats screaming in the background.

“Where are you?” Pearl asked and immediately heard Esther crying on the other end.

“Pearl, I’m in Mobius’s villa! I don’t know how Chris found this place. Mobius isn’t home, and he kept

banging on the door!”

“Send me your location. I’ll head over now.” Pearl was relieved. No wonder she heard some faint

banging.

Esther quickly sent her location, and Pearl made her way there. When she arrived, she found a group

of men attempting to break down the door. Upon closer look, she recognized Christian as the one

leading them.

The driver, alarmed by the commotion, asked, “Should I call the police?”

“It’s fine, there’s no need for that. I’ll take care of this.” Pearl got out of the car and confronted the group

of men. “What are you doing, Christian? Starting a band?”

Christian stopped, panting heavily. He had been relentlessly trying to break down the door for half an

hour, but the girl inside refused to come out. “What are you doing here, Pearl?”

He was panicking, wondering how she had gotten here so quickly from Bodgow.

“How dare you make a scene here?”

Christian, feeling defiant due to having supporters, replied audaciously, “So what? I’m here to take

Esther with me today!”

Pearl took a step forward and grabbed Christian’s hand, which was about to strike the door again.

“Why don’t you tell me why you want to see Esther?”

“I’m her cousin. What’s it to you if I want to see her? You, on the other hand, have nothing to do with

this, yet you keep interfering!” Christian retorted brazenly.

Pearl, annoyed, delivered a slap to Christian’s face. The resounding slap echoed, and everyone

present froze, especially Christian. It was the first time he had been struck by a woman. He

contemplated retaliating but hesitated when he saw Pearl’s intense and intimidating expression.

Nonetheless, because there were onlookers, Christian had to save face. He gritted his teeth and yelled,

“How dare you hit me? Get her!”

Pearl responded by kicking the first person who rushed toward her and then stepping on him. She

issued a challenge, “Who else wants to try? You’ll end up the same way!”

Seeing her formidable fighting skills, no one dared to advance further. The group of small-time thugs

had never encountered this level of resistance before, and they were petrified.

Esther, watching the commotion from the balcony upstairs, yelled down to Pearl, “Stop fighting, Pearl!

Chris is out of control. I’ve already called the police, and they’ll be here soon!”

When Chris heard the police were coming, he spat. “You called the police? We’ll come back tomorrow

then!”
