Chapter 717

Inexplicable grief gripped Pearl. It weighed on her chest, making it hard to breathe. Lost in her tangled thoughts, she eventually drifted off to sleep.novelbin

When she opened her eyes, she felt a familiar coat draped over her, carrying the faint scent of orchids. It was unmistakably Richard's scent. Silas was no longer in sight, and Richard remained in the driver's seat, their car parked by the roadside.

She blinked away her drowsiness, realizing that they were already at her home. "Why didn't you wake me up?" She pushed Richard's coat aside and placed it on the seat next to her.

"| dropped him off first. | didn't wake you because we just arrived," Richard calmly explained.

Pearl thanked him politely but kept her tone distant, seemingly out of spite. "Thank you for the ride home." "You're welcome. | won't do it again if this happens in the future," Richard replied coolly, his words holding a hint of cruelty. Before leaving, Richard couldn't resist asking, "He's your boyfriend?”

Pearl retorted, "I'm sure it's none of your business, right, Mister Richard?"

Richard mumbled a yes, realizing that he had behaved impudently.

Pearl then got out of the car to avoid any more unsettling exchanges.

Once Pearl was out of sight, Richard made a phone call.

"Demolish all the hotels on North Street," he ordered.

Confused, the person asked hesitantly, "All of them?"

"Yes, all of them," Richard affirmed firmly.

It was a clear directive, and the person on the receiving end of the call responded eagerly. "Alright, we'll begin demolishing all the nearby hotels as soon as possible."

Satisfied with the response, Richard nodded and hung up.

The following morning, a phone call stirred Pearl from her slumber. “Pea, Pea, come downstairs now. I've come to pick you up for work," a familiar voice exclaimed.

Pearl recognized the voice and hastily got out of bed, heading to the nearby balcony. As she opened the curtain, she spotted Silas below, dressed in white attire, looking up at the second-floor balcony with a bright smile.

Pearl was caught off guard, clad only in her pajamas. She quickly closed the curtain in embarrassment.

It took her more than ten minutes to prepare herself reluctantly, after which she made her way downstairs. Silas, still beaming, whistled the moment he saw her. "Pea, the pink pajamas are pretty."
