Chapter 210


    Sophia attempted to provoke Pearl, but Pearl had no interest in talking to her.


    Sophia continued, “What are you doing here? You’re not a rtive of the Jordans. What business do


    you have here?” She assumed that Pearl was just here to curry favor with the Jordans.


    “Oh? What are you doing here then?” Pearl responded, her tone tinged with sarcasm.


    Sophia had been waiting for this. She lifted her chin arrogantly and stated, “My family and the Jordans


    are cousins. My mother is Master Jordan’s niece. So, I’m Laura’s elder cousin. What do you think I’m


    doing here?”


    She had heard that the eldest son of the Jordans was visiting Enswood with his family today.


    Unfortunately, his daughter had fallen into the moat and been hospitalized. Sophia had rushed to the


    hospital upon hearing the news.


    Her mother had emphasized the importance of befriending the Jordans, one of the most influential


    families in Ancard and Enswood. And so, Sophia felt that it would be much more convenient to beg the


    Jordans to do things if she managed to befriend Laura.


    Hearing Sophia’s exnation, Pearl couldn’t help but burst intoughter. She found Sophia’s bragging


    about being cousins with the Jordans rather amusing.


    With a cold tone, Pearl replied, “I thought you were Master Jordan’s granddaughter. Why bring up your


    distant rtionship?” Sensing Pearl’s displeasure, the man frowned. “Sophia, she’s Laura’s savior.


    She’s not trying to gain favor.”


    Sophia, now stunned, asked, “So, it was Pearl who saved Laura?”


    “Yes, and you? Could it be you’re an irrelevant cousin?” Pearl was ready to leave but didn’t want to


    continue arguing with Sophia in front of others.


    Since Sophia failed to gain the upper hand, she smiled and tried to please Laura. “Do you want me to


    y with you, Laura?” “No, I don’t want to y with you.’


    It appeared that Laura had taken a liking to Pearl and kept her gaze fixed on her. “Don’t forget toe


    and y with me next time, Miss Pearl. I won’t be staying here for long.” She was smart and knew that


    she wouldn’t stay long in the hospital. Pearl turned and shed Laura a smile. “Of course, I’lle


    back. Take care, Laura. See you next time.”


    Pearl then lifted her chin at Sophia, who looked stunned and awkward.


    Ignoring Sophia’s fierce look, Pearl left and returned to Hanzel’s ward.


    “What took you so long, Pearl? It’s been four hours. I called you more than twenty times, but you didn’t


    pick up.” With his head bowed, Hanzel appeared aggrieved, hoping for someforting words.


    “I saved a kid on my way and…” Suddenly, Pearl realized that her phone was missing from her pocket.


    “My phone might have fallen into the river, but it’s fine. I needed a new phone anyway.”


    When Hanzel heard her story, he was stunned but then became concerned. “What moat? Did you fall


    into the moat? Are you okay?”


    Pearl’s l*ps twitched. “I’m okay… Didn’t I tell you I saved a kid? And my phone identally fell into the


    river.”


    “Don’t do such a risky thing again.” Hanzel couldn’t hide his worry. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
