“I wasn’t sure either. I always thought it was Sean because why would he taunt me every time, but there was one time I asked him, and he said he didn’t do it.”

Pearl found it hard to believe. “Maybe he was lying?”

“No, even though Sean is outspoken, he doesn’t lie. His ears turn red when he lies, so he can’t hide it for more than three seconds.” Richard, knowing Sean well, was

convinced that Hugo was behind it all.

Pearl was astonished and asked, “So Hugo has always been jealous of you, and this time he wasn’t cutting ties with the family because of built-up hatred?”

Seeing how she connected the dots, Richard smiled and looked at her with admiration. “That’s what I think too. So if Hugo were to reunite with our family, it would likely be

through Lawson Enterprises, and that wouldn’t benefit our family.”

“Did you warn Uncle Dustan to be cautious about this?”

“It wouldn’t make a difference. My father would never be wary of Hugo because he raised him. Even if Hugo did something to him, he wouldn’t hold a grudge.” Richard knew

Dustan’s character well. Though he was a fierce competitor in the business world, as a father, he had a soft heart.

“We should prepare and make sure Hugo doesn’t get to your father.”

“Oh, you’re already concerned about your future father-in-law even before we’re married? Is this because you love me and want to protect my family?”

“Don’t flatter yourself. I’m just worried about Uncle Dustan because he’s been kind to me. I wouldn’t want anything to happen.

Richard ruffled her hair and spoke in a gentle tone, “I know you care about him, Pearl, but you’re taking on too much. You’re constantly plotting this and that. I think you

should think about yourself.”

“What do you mean?”

Richard pulled her into his arms and pressed his chin on her forehead. “Think about our sweet time together, right, missus?”

‘Again with this nickname?’ Pearl felt like she was blushing all over. What was going on with Richard? He didn’t have a lot of relationship experience, but he seemed to be quite

skilled at flirting!

“Richard, you always put up a cold front, but you’re secretly a closet minx, aren’t you?”

The term “closet minx” hadn’t crossed Richard’s mind, so he froze and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Um…” Pearl slapped her forehead. “Never mind.”
