Chapter 168


    “It’s okay now. Let’s go.”


    Richard was about to drive away when Brandon suddenly appeared fierce, standing nearby.


    Brandon rushed over and reached into Richard’s car through the window, opening the car door. With


    force, he managed to drag Pearl out of the car.


    “I’m going to die anyway. I might as well take someone else down with me!” He pulled out a knife and


    pressed it against


    Pearl’s neck

    His actions prompted an immediate change in Richard’s expression.


    “What are you doing, Brandon?”


    “Scared now, aren’t you? You were so smug just a moment ago, Richard. I didn’t expect you to end up


    like this today!” He pressed the knife closer to Pearl’s neck, leaving a bloody mark. “You’re going to


    suffer with me soon, Richard. Ha! Ha! Ha!”


    In response, Pearl kicked Brandon’s knee while he was momentarily distracted.


    Feeling the pain, Brandon let go and dropped his knife on the ground. At the same time, Richard kicked


    his chest, sending him flying three meters away.


    “That’s very dangerous,” Richard scolded Pearl after her sudden move. “If something happened to you


    when he had the knife at your neck, you would be rushed to the hospital by now.”


    Raising her brows, Pearl asked, “What’s wrong? Worried that I would take such a risk? I’m not that


    stupid, Richard.”


    Looking down, Richard acknowledged that she was right. She was more careful than he was.


    The victim pressed Brandon on the ground and kicked him. “What are you doing? How dare you harm


    her! I’m going to kill you!”


    Brandon vomited blood because of the kick “Don’t… Don’t kill me!”


    As the fear of death gripped Brandon, he realized that he was genuinely frightened, but it was toote


    to turn back now.


    The mannded a heavy punch on Brandon, who couldn’t even scream because his mouth was


    sealed.


    Finally, the street was cleared.


    Richard watched the scene unfold calmly. “Come on. Let me drive you to Cerubleu.”


    Pearl nodded and joined him, but as she got into the car,plex emotions suddenly hit her.


    “What’s wrong?” Richard asked, noticing a shift in her expression.


    “Brandon is just reaping what he’s sown, given all the bad things he’s done. But I suddenly find him


    rather pitiful. I don’t know why.”


    Richard consoled her, “It’s okay. If he’s gone, we’ve gotten rid of a viin.”


    Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked it up, gave a brief response, and then ended the call.


    Since he was close to Pearl, she overheard the call, learning that Brandon had passed away.


    Brandon, who was once a skilled and cunning man in the workce, had finally passed away on the


    roadside.


    It was over now.


    After that, Richard drove fast and arrived at Cerubleu without dy.


    When Pearl got out of the car, she bumped into an executive who smiled and greeted her. “Miss


    President, what brings you back to thepany so unexpectedly today?”


    Her spine tingled with guilt upon hearing those words. She turned to look for Richard, but he had


    already driven away.


    Pearl breathed a sigh of relief.
