Chapter 352


    “I’m fine. Thanks to Pearl,” ke reassured Raymond. Given their families’ long-standing friendship


    and their shared childhood, he found Raymond quite friendly.


    Pearl, however, couldn’t hide her disdain and sneered, “If I knew you two were teaming up, I would


    have added something extra to make you feel even worse!” She had assumed ke was on her side,


    only to discover that he was childhood friends with that hypocrite.


    ke grinned slyly, clearly enjoying the situation. “I’d be the first to support Grandfather if he decided to


    pair you two up!”


    Hisment earned him incredulous looks from both Pearl and Raymond. Raymond appeared


    surprised, while Pearl’s gaze was… filled with malice.


    “Don’t forget, ke, I still have control over your treatment. If you keep pushing it, I might identally


    prescribe something that’ll poison you to death,” Pearl threatened.


    ke quickly lowered his voice and hunched his shoulders. “I’m only thinking of you, Pearl. Raymond


    is filthy rich, and he’s my childhood friend. I can vouch for his character…”


    Brandishing a fruit knife, Pearl’s smile was devious. ke immediately kept quiet upon seeing


    the knife.


    ‘Alright, I’ll take my leave if Pearl doesn’t want me here,” Raymond said, rising to his feet with a serious


    expression.


    Pearl smiled. “Bye.”


    ke watched Raymond’s retreating figure thoughtfully. Finally, he remarked, “I’ve never seen him like


    that before. In the past, he would have sought vengeance on anyone who dared to bully him.”


    Pearl feigned surprise. “Is he a gangster or something?”


    ke rolled his eyes. “I’m just saying, Pearl, I think it’s not good for you to be with Richard.”


    “Why’s that?”


    ke let out a sigh. “You know Grandfather doesn’t like Richard. If you two end up together, you’ll face


    many obstacles, and it won’t be just you suffering.”


    Touched by ke’s concern, Pearl nodded.


    “Do you think there’s trouble for Waldorf Enterprises for no reason? You’re smart, Pearl. I’m sure you


    can figure it out,” ke continued.


    Pearl began to understand more after his advice.


    “Listen to Grandfather if you care about what’s best for Richard. Richard’s the one who’s going to


    struggle in silence.” Even though ke wasn’t fond of Richard due to his weird temper, he kept his


    opinions to himself since Richard was genuinely kind to Pearl. Besides, he wasn’t the type to interfere


    in someone else’s rtionship.


    “Why are you so concerned about Richard? Did he give you something good?” Pearl raised an


    eyebrow, curious about ke’s unexpected interest.

    ke’s l*ps twitched. “Can’t you see it in a positive light, Pearl?”


    Confused, Pearl tilted her head and asked, “Ugh, are you in love with him?”


    For a moment, ke was at a loss for words, then eventually chose to stay silent on the matter.


    Despite this, he did encourage Pearl to return to Enswood.


    After bidding ke farewell, Pearl headed to Bodgow Airport alone. After purchasing her ticket and


    waiting at the boarding gate, she was approached by members of the Jordan family’s staff, who had


    tracked her down.


    The family’s butler stepped forward, wiping his brow nervously. “Miss Pearl, please stop running


    around. Come back with me, if you will.”
