Chapter 605

Pearl tried to avoid revealing too much and said, “I’m fine. It’s a pretty safe place, but my helper asked

me not to tell others about my location, or it might bring him trouble.”

If she told Damian about her dilemma, he would gather people to rescue her. This might infuriate Hugo,

and the treatment for her mother would be delayed.

Damian was in disbelief. “Really?”

“Yeah, when did I lie to you?” Pearl chuckled, sounding indifferent.

Damian’s anger began to flare up as he recalled past incidents. “When did you lie to me? You lied to

me three years ago when you asked me to give you some toilet paper in the public restroom, and you

told me that you were alone. But a group of women scolded me for being a pervert. And four years ago,

you didn’t pay for a meal, and you blamed it on me…”

Pearl hurriedly apologized, “I’m so sorry. It was all my fault. I know you’re generous and forgiving.

Please forgive me. But I didn’t lie this time.”

She could hear the noise from his side, indicating he might be in a bar. Fearing he might humiliate her

in front of others, Pearl decided to de–escalate the situation.

“Okay, I’ll trust you this time.” Damian suppressed his mounting anger.

Wayne, who had been silent during their bickering, was concerned about Pearl’s well–being. ” Miss

Pearl, when are you coming back?”

The question made Pearl realize the uncertainty of her return. She forced a smile and replied, ” I guess

it won’t take long. But I need to lay low for now. I’ll go back once everyone forgets about this incident.”

Wayne understood her caution and stopped pressing her to return. He asked her to take care of

herself.

“Do take good care of Cerubleu during this period and help me watch over Damian. Report to me

immediately if there’s any issue. And if he bullies you and says that you’re a sneak, tell me. I’ll teach

him a lesson.” Laughing, Pearl scolded Damian briefly.

Damian became impatient and rolled his eyes. “Okay, we’re going back to drinking. The girls here are

waiting for us.”

Pearl couldn’t help but tease him, “Your girlfriend is pregnant and waiting for you, but you’re drinking at

a bar.”

Damian quickly corrected her, ‘No, she’s not my girlfriend. She drugged me and got pregnant with my

child accidentally. I didn’t admit that it’s my child.”

Pearl was surprised by his indifference toward the situation. “But your girlfriend has traveled far and

gone abroad…” But she immediately stopped, realizing that she had spoken too much.

Damian put two and two,together. “I got the news that she’s in our homeland. Why did you say that

she’s abroad? Do you know where she is?”

“That’s your girlfriend, not mine. Her location isn’t my business. How could I possibly know where she

is?”

Pearl hurriedly changed the subject and wanted to hang up, but Damian interrupted her angrily. “You

can’t hang up on me until you make things clear today.”

With no other choice, Pearl reluctantly explained, “Oh, it’s like this. Drew saved me from the sea a

while back, and I went to Cooper Residence. Katie is Drew’s fiancee, but she doesn’t like him very

much. She insists on canceling the engagement.” She felt guilty for not revealing this to Damian earlier.

Pearl had kept it a secret as she didn’t want it to affect Katie’s relationship with Damian. However, it

turned out that Damian didn’t have romantic feelings for Katie, making it an unrequited love on her part.

The silence on the other end of the line was deafening, and Damian’s anger was evident.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it,” she apologized.

As Pearl spoke, she heard footsteps approaching her door. She quickly covered herself with a blanket

and lowered her voice, sounding somber, as if she were a child who had made a mistake. “That’s all I

know. I don’t know anything else.”
