Chapter 157


    “It’s all because of that stupid Mobius. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have run off and bumped into that


    stupid man,” Esther grumbled, recalling how close Mobius had been with that other girl.


    “It’s because you have feelings for him. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t feel this way. How is that his fault?”


    Pearl pointed out.


    Esther knew she was in the wrong, so she changed the subject. “I remember you came after me right


    away, but why did it take you so long to find me?” She wasn’t ming Pearl but was genuinely curious.


    “Because… a dog blocked my path,” Pearl said through gritted teeth, while Richard sneezed


    somewhere in the hospital.


    “A dog?” Esther was confused because no dogs were allowed in the bar. That was weird.


    “Anyway, it’s time for you to go back to your brother.”


    Esther asked, “Where are you headed?”


    Pearl took a deep breath. “I’m going for a walk”


    After saying goodbye to Esther, Pearl strolled along thekeside. The night was illuminated with


    scattered lights, and couples were enjoying their dates.


    Suddenly, she overheard two people quarreling.


    “It’s all your fault. I wouldn’t have lost that trivia contest if it weren’t for you.” The man’s voice sounded


    angry.


    “It’s because you don’t trust me. You wouldn’t have lost if you trusted me!” the woman retorted, raising


    her voice to make her


    point.

    “Trust you? Why would I trust you? You can’t even think clearly. I know better than you. You don’t know


    anything about this,


    and I do!”


    “Fine, you know me well. Do you know how much effort I put into this trivia contest? You never noticed


    the changes and still think of me as the same dumb person from before!”


    The woman turned angrily, almost tumbling into theke, but the man quickly caught her.


    “Why did you save me? Just let me die!”


    The man hugged her tightly, his eyes welling up as he lowered his voice. “Just because we argue


    doesn’t mean I don’t love you


    anymore.”


    Realizing her mistake, the woman apologized, “I’m sorry for yelling.”


    Pearl, who had been eavesdropping, was deeply moved. Quarreling didn’t mean they stopped loving


    each other. Harsh words didn’t benefit anyone.


    Richard had grown up with Abby, and to him, Abby was like a daughter to Susan. Why would a child


    hurt her own mother?


    Pearl, on the other hand, had always had a bad rtionship with Susan. Richard had never


    reprimanded her, and that meant he didn’t me her. Yet here she was, throwing a tantrum.


    It was natural for him to be suspicious, but he was willing to talk to her, which indicated he still had


    feelings for her.


    With her thoughts rified, Pearl realized her next move. She needed to find evidence that would clear


    her name rather than falling into this rtionship trap.


    She immediately called Wayne to ask about Susan’s recovery.


    “I rushed back to the office because of this.” Wayne’s voice sounded like he was smiling. “It was quite a


    coincidence because I


    had someone guarding the room for three days, and finally, Abby showed up. She tried to pull Susan’s


    IV tube but was caught. I took pictures as evidence. She was probably afraid Susan would wake up


    and expose her.”


    Pearl was overjoyed to hear that, and her mood brightened.
