Chapter 109


    Pearl suddenly lost her interest because of Richard’s actions.


    “Aren’t you quite the hero, Mister Richard?”


    Richard exined somberly, “400 thousand dors is a little difficult for Abby due to recent family


    issues. I’ll cover the sum for her.”


    Of course, Pearl was well aware of Abby’s situation, and it was precisely why she made the demand.


    However, Richard’s defense of Abby made her reconsider her decision.


    “No, keep it.” She didn’t need the money, and she felt like an outsider in this situation. Pausing, she


    turned and left the ward, finding sce away from Richard and Abby.


    While strolling in the garden, Pearl noticed a group of people gathered around a young woman,


    seemingly


    confronting her.


    “What are you doing?”


    Pearl quickly approached them and firmly grabbed the hand of a man who appeared to be getting too


    close to the woman, pulling him away. Then, she stood guard in front of the woman coldly.


    The man, whose arm had been nearly dislocated, was initially ready to berate Pearl. However, he


    changed his


    demeanor when he realized Pearl was more attractive than the young woman.


    “Miss, I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I was just trying to get this woman to return my money because


    she stole it. I meant her no harm…” He smiled and exined while discreetly sizing up Pearl.


    “Did she steal from you?” Pearl turned to scrutinize the woman behind her.


    Timidly, the young woman replied, “I didn’t steal anything. It’s mine.”


    “Nonsense! Everyone here witnessed it. She sneakily took the 1,400 dors I had just withdrawn!” the


    man

    used, his voice loud and usatory.


    The young woman trembled with fear. “No, I didn’t! That money is mine. You’re lying!”


    Pearl had a feeling that the man had set a trap and falsely used the young woman simply because


    he knew the exact amount of money she had. It seemed like he intended to use the public to extort


    money from her.


    “Do you have any evidence to prove that the money is yours?” Pearl stared at the man curiously.


    The man lifted his head. “It’s mine. Everyone around me saw it. That’s the best evidence.”


    “Are these gangsters the ‘witnesses’ you’re referring to?” Pearl nced at the group of men around him


    andughed coldly.


    “We’re not gangsters! Don’t push your luck. Back off, or we won’t go easy on you!” the man threatened


    sternly, attempting to use force.


    However, Pearl kicked him hard, causing him to fall to the ground with a painful cry.


    “How dare you hit me! Guys, go after her and teach her a lesson. This b*tch has iting!” He cursed


    and


    tried to retaliate.


    But the men hesitated and didn’t immediately act, especially after seeing Pearl easily defeat their


    leader.


    “What are you standing there for? She’s alone! Can’t you guys beat her up? Get her!”


    With a gulp, the gangsters clenched their teeth and charged at Pearl, who remained unfazed.


    It was a piece of cake for Pearl to defeat those young and inexperienced gangsters. In less than a


    minute, they ally on the ground, groaning in pain.


    “We can’t beat her. She’s too strong,” one of the gangsters whimpered, grimacing as he looked at their


    leader.
