Chapter 303


    Pearl was about tobel Glenn a yboy when someone screamed nearby.


    “Look! What’s that above us?!”


    Startled, Pearl immediately looked up and spotted a drone carrying arge bucket ofrd. In the blink of


    an eye, it plummeted to the ground.


    Squinting her eyes, Pearl grabbed ke and pulled him aside. Glenn, thanks to his agility, managed to


    evade the impending disaster as well.


    Unfortunately, many others were not as fortunate, unable to escape the fallingrd. They sl*pped and


    tumbled to the ground, crying out in pain.


    Pearl looked at ke and asked, “Are you okay?”


    “I’m okay, but you…” ke’s eyes narrowed suddenly as he yanked Pearl into his arms. A searing,


    agonizing sensation swept over him.


    Sulfuric acid?


    Pearl grimaced as she felt the burning pain on her arm, where the acid had made contact. Suppressing


    her own agony, she nced up and spotted a figure turning away, holding a bucket of sulfuric acid.


    But she couldn’t afford to chase after the assant at the moment. Supporting ke, she realized that


    his back had been burned while shielding her from the acid.


    “Glenn, call 911 now!”


    Understanding the gravity of the situation, Glenn’s brows furrowed. “No, it’ll take too long. I’ll rush him


    to the hospital!”


    Pearl nodded, allowing Glenn to help her get ke into the car. They sped off to the hospital, where


    ke was quickly taken into surgery.


    Anxiety gripped Glenn at the sight of Pearl’s bleeding arm. “I’ll get a doctor to tend to your wound.”


    Pearl nodded. “Okay.”


    While having her wound treated, Pearl read the news. As expected, the public was buzzing about the


    ident, with three hot topics trending on the Inte.


    [The Jordan family’s granddaughter was rumored to be a country bumpkin but turns out to be Rarity, a


    renowned wine taster.]


    [Viciousrd attack at wine-tasting party leaves many injured.]


    [Sulfuric acid attack on Mr. ke. The Jordans are furious.]


    Pearl’s arm throbbed with pain, aggravated by the nurse’s trembling hands. The nurse seemed to be


    new and unskilled.


    Glenn took over the medical supplies from the nurse and shed a reassuring smile at Pearl. Let me


    handle this.”


    Pearl eyed him skeptically, but to her surprise, Glenn’s touch was much gentler than the nurse’s. Soon,


    the pain gave way to a soothing, cool sensation.


    Mixed emotions swirled within Pearl as she looked at Glenn’s serious expression, realizing he was


    different from what she had initially imagined.


    Suddenly, the door swung open, and Richard entered the room. His expression went from fatigue from


    his flight to cold determination as he observed Glenn tending to Pearl’s wound.


    When Pearl saw Richard, she panicked and withdrew her hand immediately. “What are you doing here,


    Richard?”


    She wasn’t concerned about Richard witnessing anything improper, but rather, she feared he might

    tinged with worry.


    “I’m okay, see…” Pearl stood up and turned around, concealing her arm behind her back to show

    Richard she was fine.


    However, Richard was unmoved. He kept his head lowered, his gaze fixed on Pearl’s hidden hand.
