Chapter 264

    Richard had his men surround the Sanders Residence, just in case he couldn’t find the suspects if


    something happened to Pearl. As luck would have it, their presence became handy now.


    “I still remember the waiter who had led the way for me.” Pearl casually scanned the surroundings, her


    gazending on the waiter who had led her to the room. The poor man’s legs went weak, and he began


    to tremble.


    “Why are you so nervous? I haven’t used you of anything yet,” Pearl remarked, crossing her arms.


    Seeing the waiter’s profuse sweating, she decided she had seen enough. “Listen, did Sophia ask you


    to take me to that room?”


    However, the waiter refused to divulge the truth, fearing the consequences for himself and his innocent


    child. “No, I don’t know Miss Sophia. I led you there because you seemed drunk and asked for help.”


    Raising her brows, Pearl asked, “Aren’t you going to tell the truth?” She felt no sympathy for him since


    he chose not to


    cooperate.


    “It didn’t have anything to do with me. Please don’t involve me in this,” the waiter implored.


    Sophia, feeling smug, said, “See, Pearl? Karma is waiting for you.”


    Pearl understood that Sophia would face the consequences of her actionster, but it was not her


    concern at the moment. Observing the waiter’s clothes, Pearl smiled and asked, “You have a daughter,


    don’t you?”


    Stunned, the waiter didn’t understand why Pearl raised that question. But when he saw her looking at


    his cor, he asked, ” How did you know?”


    “Your clothes are neatly pressed and have a pleasant scent. It indicates you’re married, and your wife


    likely takes care of your clothing. Additionally, when you panicked earlier, you inadvertently revealed


    your phone’s lock screen, showing a charming little girl who bears a resemnce to you. I assume


    that’s your daughter, correct?” Pearl exined.


    The waiter was surprised by Pearl’s keen perception but remained stubborn. “What does my daughter


    have to do with any of this?”


    “Your daughter is relevant because Sophia is using her to ckmail you,” Pearl dered, her logical


    analysis making Sophia


    uneasy.


    “Nonsense! I don’t even know this man. How could I possibly threaten him with his daughter?” Sophia


    retorted.

    Silently, Pearl gestured, and Esther handed her a bag.


    Sophia’s eyes widened. “Isn’t that my bag? Give it back to me!” She made an attempt to snatch it, but


    her sudden movement caused her nket to sl*p, and she btedly realized her exposure.


    After being exposed in front of everyone twice in a row, Sophia felt a profound sense of humiliation as


    she hastily wrapped herself in the nket.


    From Sophia’s bag, Pearl retrieved a pink and adorable haircl*p adorned with a pink rabbit. “Is this your


    daughter’s haircl*p?”


    The waiter squinted his eyes and, after a fierce internal struggle, finally nodded. “Yes.”


    Sophia, filled with spite, red at him. “Ridiculous! I’ve never even met your daughter!”


    Overwhelmed by hate, the waiter gave up denying the truth. “Yes, she forced me to drug your drink,


    Miss Pearl. But I forgot the way and led you to the wrong room. Then, Miss Sophia entered that room


    herself. You can punish me, but please save my daughter. She’s been kidnapped.”


    He fell to his knees, repeatedly and humbly banging his head against the floor.
