    Pearl nced at Richard and assured him that it wouldn’t take long.


    As they settled into the car, she noticed a person who appeared to be napping. He was reclining,


    supporting his head, and his fairplexion seemed striking in the dimly lit car.


    Pearl was taken aback when she recognized the face. After the recent encounter with An, she had


    conducted background checks on all the members of the Jordan family.


    The man before her was ke, a well-known noble heir in Bodgow and the second grandson of Master


    Jordan.


    Master Jordan had two grandsons Felix Jordan, the eldest, was a renowned e-sports yer who


    consistently held the top ranking. However, he was rtively unknown to the public because he spent


    most of his time at the club.


    ke, on the other hand, was a wealthy heir in the Bodgow social circle. He was widely recognized in


    Bodgow, but his aloof personality deterred most people from approaching him. Nevertheless, he had no


    shortage of admirers, especially among women who dreamed of marrying him.


    No one could deny his striking looks, rivaling only Richard’s.


    When ke sensed someone entering the car, he slowly opened his eyes. However, he merely clicked


    his tongue in response and stared at Pearl without uttering a word, leaving her confused.


    ke’s disdainful attitude quickly dispelled Pearl’s earlier impression of him, making her think that he


    wasn’t handsome at all.


    “Are you the long-lost granddaughter of Grandpa Jordan? You’re not a fraud, are you?” ke’s first


    question sessfully provoked Pearl.


    “Why is one of the Jordan family’spdogs barking here?” Pearl derisively referred to ke as a


    Although ke remainedposed, his disdain for Pearl deepened. “How rude! You can’t possibly


    improve even after returning to the family.”

    though Cerubleu is among the top three in the country?” ke’s string of questions amused Pearl.


    “What does that have to do with you, the golden child of the Jordans?”


    ke’s expression soured swiftly. He found Pearl to be quite talkative.


    Finally, they arrived at a cafe.


    Pearl took her seat and remained resolute. “I really don’t have the time right now.”


    Her stubbornness put the butler in a bind, but he couldn’t force her in a public ce. ” Perhaps, Mister


    Biake, you could help persuade Miss Pearl.”


    Naturally, ke was reluctant to engage in conversation with Pearl. “Don’t drag me into this. I don’t


    want to deal with her.”


    “See? Even the Jordan family doesn’t want me. You should inform Master Jordan that I won’t be


    returning with you,” Pearl asserted.
