Chapter 221


    He had a sinister look about him because, like Hanzel, he had narrow, almond-shaped eyes. However,


    unlike Hanzel, he had a mole under the corner of his eye. His hair was longer, and his l*ps were


    thinner. He resembled those viinous dukes in historical dramas.


    If Hanzel looked wicked, he was nefariously beautiful. The Jordans had good genes because their


    offspring were even more attractive than the actors.


    “Uncle An, Aunt Lindsay, are you done with the packing?” he asked, his expression serious, and his


    voice clear.


    “Yes. By the way, ke, this is Pearl Leighton. You two should get to know each other because you


    might cross paths again,” An introduced Pearl the moment he saw ke.


    ke didn’t show any emotions.


    Pearl Leighton? She looked decent, and her figure was fine. She kept her l*ps tightly sealed, giving her


    a solemn appearance. He quietly formed an impression of Pearl.


    If Pearl knew what was going on in his mind, she would probably have strong words for him.


    “Hello, I’m ke Jordan,” he said, extending his right hand.


    Pearl shook his hand and replied, “Hello, I’m Pearl Leighton.”


    The air around them felt off.


    “Come on, be a bit friendlier. You’ll be family soon,” An urged, not pleased with the ufortable


    vibe.


    “I hope this isn’t another attempt at matchmaking, uncle. You’re here for a vacation, not to y


    matchmaker. This is the fifth girl you’ve introduced to me. We should y with gold and worry less


    about this,” ke retorted, looking disdainful as he turned away.


    Pearl was confused. What was going through his mind? She had encountered narcissists before, but


    none seemed as unpleasant as him.

    “Don’t worry, I have no interest in you.” Pearl frowned. She didn’t like this person at all.


    Her decision to avoid returning to the Jordans seemed justified. If the family was filled with people like


    this, she was certain she’d have a terrible time there.


    “I hope you’re honest about that,” ke retorted.


    Pearl turned and walked away, realizing that continuing this conversation would only lead to an


    argument.


    Hanzel was ted to see what was happening and walked away too.


    An stood behind them, watching Pearl’s angry departure, and then heaved a sigh. “Why did you have


    to say that to her? Look how upset she is.”


    ke’s expression remained cold. “I told you, Uncle An, don’t introduce anyone to me. I really don’t


    need the help.” An looked awkward. “But I wasn’t doing that.”


    “Who is she then?”


    “She’s your cousin.”


    ke’s face froze. “Is she your illegitimate daughter?’


    An was speechless. “No. Do you remember you have an aunt?”


    “Yes, what does this have to do with her? Is she my aunt’s daughter?”


    ke watched her from a distance and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if she bore a


    resemnce to the woman in


    Grandpa’s photo album.
