Chapter 555

The masked man burst into laughter. “150 thousand dollars? You’re just a strange woman

who we rescued. How can you afford that?”

Pearl answered loudly, “I’m the president of Cerubleu. Of course, I can afford that.”

“What? Cerubleu!”

Even though they were only working as cargo transporters on the ship, they had heard of

the renowned Cerubleu. They had heard that the president of Cerubleu was a young

woman named Pearl Leighton…

“I’m Pearl Leighton.”

Her words drained the color from the masked man’s face. “You’re… Pearl Leighton?”

“Yeah, so do you trust me now? I can really afford that much.” She stood nearby, gazing at

him with mixed emotions in her

eyes.

“Alright, I give up.” Defeated, the masked man tossed away his weapon and surrendered.

His men behind him followed suit and joined Pearl’s side.

With the issue resolved, Pearl decided to spare the man on Drew’s behalf. She ordered him

to be confined to his room for three days and assigned two men to watch over him.

After everything was settled, Pearl yawned as if nothing had happened. Then she said,

“Drew, let’s sit down and eat.”

Drew remained silent throughout the whole incident, just smiling and watching Pearl.

“Sure, let’s eat.”

So, she was Pearl. No wonder Reese would take her in as his goddaughter.

Now that he knew who she was, Drew couldn’t help but smile even more. “I’m sure you

know who I am now.”

“The same goes for you.” Pearl took a bite of the food. It was decent but not expertly

cooked. “I never expected my dad to take in someone as intriguing as you.” Drew,

however, didn’t eat. He leaned back, crossing his arms and looking at her thoughtfully.

“You’re too kind. It was just a stroke of luck,” Pearl replied casually, continuing to inspect

the food on the table as she decided what to eat.

Drew found himself surprisingly pleased as he watched her enjoy the meal.

The ship arrived at its destination on schedule three days later.

Drew got off the ship first and instructed his men to unload the cargo onto the dock.

Meanwhile, Pearl looked around and eventually stepped off the ship too.

Seeing Pearl, Drew smiled and asked, “Are you leaving now?”

Pearl was at a loss for words. “No, I’m not familiar with this place. Plus, I’ve got no money,

and nothing to prove my identity. Where can I go?”

Drew touched his chin and nodded in understanding. “Yeah, you’re right. The sea washed

away your stuff.”

Pearl was at a loss for words again.

“How about this? Come to my house first. My dad is there too. He’s been wanting to see

you but never had the chance. Now’s the perfect opportunity.”

Drew’s smile appeared harmless, but for some reason, Pearl felt uneasy. Nonetheless, she

reluctantly agreed, feeling she had no other options at this point.

Drew made a call, and half an hour later, an elongated. Lincoln pulled up by the roadside

right

on time.

“Isn’t this a bit too much?” Pearl raised an eyebrow at the sight of the long car.

Drew didn’t seem bothered, though. He walked over and got into the car. “Get in. Why are

you still standing there?”

Pearl followed suit and joined him in the car.
