Chapter 335


    The butler couldn’t fathom why Richard and Pearl would share their private affairs with him. If the


    master found out about this, he’d likely fire him for failing to maintain their privacy. However, he


    concealed his frustration and replied, “I don’t know anything. The master had more tasks for me, so I


    need to get going.”


    Pearl had never seen the butler walk so fast. She turned to look at Richard, her expression a mix of


    curiosity and irritation.


    “Why are you looking at me like that?” Richard was pretending to be innocent.


    Pearl took a deep breath to calm down. “I’m going to visit ke at the hospitalter. Do you want to


    Richard’s smile disappeared when he realized Pearl kept running around to meet another man. “No.”


    “Why? Do you want to have tea with my grandpa?” Pearl was interested to see how he was going to


    deal with the old man.


    Richard frowned, not relishing the idea of pretending to be nice to Pearl’s grandfather when he didn’t


    particrly like the old man. “I’ll drive you there.”


    They gathered their belongings and headed to the hospital.


    Upon arrival, they found ke and Glenn sharing augh. When they noticed Pearl and Richard, they


    greeted them. “You’re here.”


    “Let me see your back.” Pearl was d to see that ke appeared to be recovering well.


    “No way!”


    Both ke and Richard spoke at the same time. ke looked shy while Richard looked angry. He


    could tear ke up right then and there.


    “I’m a physician. Why are you two acting weird?” Undeterred, Pearl forcefully lifted the back of ke’s


    shirt and inspected his wound, satisfied with what she saw. “You’re recovering nicely, just as expected.


    You should be fine in two to three days.”


    ke, taken aback by Pearl’s strength, mumbled, “Are you even a woman, Pearl?” He had never seen


    a woman who had such strong wrist strength. He couldn’t move when she was holding his arm!


    “If I’m not, are you?” Pearl mocked. Who should feel more embarrassed in a situation where a man is


    overpowered by a woman?


    ke blushed in embarrassment and didn’t say anything.


    Richard’s expression darkened as he watched the interaction between Pearl and ke. His jealousy


    was palpable as he said, “Are you done?”

    “Oh, are you jealous? Why would you be jealous of your girl’s cousin? You’re so petty,” ke taunted.


    Richard’s cold re moved to ke’s face, carrying an unmistakable threat.


    “Why are you ring at me? Look at him, Pearl. Your man is so fierce.” ke, oblivious to the danger


    he was in, mocked Richard


    Richard squinted. “You said that I’m fierce?”


    ke replied firmly, “So what if I did? You’re at my ce now. If you start yelling at me, I’ll kick you


    out.”


    Pearl, growing weary of their bickering, interjected, “Enough, both of you are injured. Could you please


    stop arguing?” The noise was grating on her nerves, and she smiled awkwardly to defuse the tension.


    Before she had gotten to know ke’s true character, Pearl had perceived him as an enigmatic, aloof


    figure-cold, unapproachable, and seemingly annoyed all the time. However, upon closer acquaintance,


    she realized he was more of a yful, childish soul who often hid deeper meanings in his words.


    ke, deciding not to push Richard’s buttons further, conceded, “If it wasn’t for Pearl, I’m not going to


    let this go.”


    “If you do, I won’t hold back.” Richard was 6 feet and two inches. With his cold expression and


    menacing temper, he indeed looked capable of beating people up.
