Chapter 182


    What Hugo said affected Pearl deeply.


    Richard saw her zoning out and asked, “What’s on your mind, Pearl?”


    Coming back to the present, Pearl met his gaze. “What Hugo said made me feel…”


    “You think it’s not that simple too, right?” Richard looked into her eyes and read her mind.


    “He used your mother’s life to threaten me, yet he risked himself by grabbing the knife from Abby to


    protect her. Do you think he really cares for your mother?” Hugo’s actions were unusual, so Pearl


    couldn’t understand what was on his mind.


    “What do you think?”


    “I think he’s just pretending to grab the knife.”


    Richard sighed. He and Hugo lived together for so many years, but he didn’t lmow Hugo well and didn’t


    have a good rtionship with thim.


    However, when Pearl said that, even though he suspected that, he still asked, “Pretending?”


    “Yes, of course he was pretending. Think about it. Why would a child take his mother’s safety so


    lightly? Do you really think the hospital removing Madam’s breathing tube is an ident? The nurses


    do rounds daily, and Hugo is the director of the hospital. Who would dare do something like that without


    his approval?”


    Pearl analylzed the situation and made a good point.


    “My mom has always been very nice to him.” Richard pressed his l*ps together and sounded serious.


    “I know. Madam loves all her children, but after seeing what Hugo did, do you think he’s a grateful


    person?” Pearl remembered what he said and couldn’t help but scoff.


    “Let’s observe for a few more days. I’d like to see what he’s going to do next.” Richard had lost all trust


    in the brother he had lived with for decades.


    “But before that, remember to take good care of Madam. Even if she’s not in danger anymore, you


    should still be cautious.”


    Richard nodded and suddenly had a bad feeling. “You need to be careful too.”


    “I know. If Abby is going to take revenge, I’ll be ready for her.”


    Richard suddenly remembered something and put his arm around her shoulders. “If she does


    something stupid, don’t hold back. Do whatever you want.”


    “Alright.” Pearl felt d hearing him say that.


    “By the way, it’s going to be the five-year anniversary of Hanzel’s debut. I think he’s going to have a


    concert on that day. Let’s all go.”


    Pearl remembered Hanzel mentioning it that morning so she nodded. “Sure.”


    “There’s one more thing we need to do before that.”


    Before Richard could finish, Pearl cut in, “You’re talking about the Lawsons?”


    Richard gave a faint smile. “Yes. Since my mom is safe now, why don’t we take action today? My


    assistant told me Mister Chet doesn’t have any meetings or appointments scheduled for tonight. Let’s
