Chapter 353


    “So, you’re telling me that I can’t go anywhere now, and I have to stay in Bodgow?” Pearl questioned


    the butler with a cold stare.


    The butler was struck speechless before he carefully exined, “Well, yes, technically you should stay


    in Bodgow, but in reality…”


    Pearl stood up, her irritation evident. “What’s your n then? Are you going to grab me and drag me


    back?”


    “No, I would never-”


    “Then don’t meddle in my affairs. I am the granddaughter of the Jordan family, not a criminal on death


    row,” Pearl snapped, her patience wearing thin. It was the first time she found the butler so


    bothersome, and her frustration showed.


    “Please, Miss Pearl, don’t make things difficult for me. I’m just an employee trying to make a living for


    my family. I don’t know what to do if you act like this…” The butler’s appeal came out softly, but it was a


    public scene, and his distress was palpable.


    Pearl had not expected the butler to create a scene, especially as he was in his fifties. Although he was


    not raising his voice, it was undeniably embarrassing.


    “Fine, I won’t leave. Stop crying. How can you cry like this in public, considering your age?” Pearl


    relented, feeling a mixture of annoyance and pity for the butler.


    Relief washed over the butler when Pearl gave in. “Okay, let me give you a ride back home, Miss


    Pearl.”


    “Home?” Pearl mused, tapping her chin. She asked thoughtfully, “So, as long as I don’t leave Bodgow,


    that’s what Master Jordan wants?”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    The butler nodded in a daze, puzzled by her question.


    “So, he can’t interfere no matter how much time I spend outside, right?” Pearl continued, seemingly


    leading the butler into a trap.


    The butler, seemingly unaware, subconsciously nodded.


    Pearl tore up the ne ticket she was holding and discarded it into a nearby trash can. Alright, I’ve torn


    up the ticket, and I won’t go anywhere. You can stop following me now.”


    However, the butler was dubious. “You’re not lying, right?”


    “Of course not.” She felt her main task now was to cate the butler rather than defy him, considering


    she couldn’t defeat the group of people he had brought with him.


    “Okay, Miss Pearl. I’ll go back now,” the butler said, appearing satisfied as if he believed Pearl had


    grown more obedient.


    Little did he know that he wouldter regret having such thoughts when he had to search the city for


    Pearl. He should have forcibly taken her home then.


    When Pearl returned to the hospital, she saw ke sitting in bed and watching a game. She


    stood at the door and used him coldly, “Did you rat me out, ke?!”


    “What? What are you talking about?” ke was taken aback by the sudden usation, his agitation


    apparent.


    Pearl leaned against the doorframe, trying to affect him. “Oh, so you admit you did it?”


    ke reiterated his innocence, “What are you even talking about?”


    “Oh, are you offering me a private helicopter ride, then?”


    “What would you need a helicopter for?” ke narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “Let me guess. You


    wanted to go back to Enswood to see Richard, but Grandfather’s men intercepted you, right?”


    “You’re smart.” Pearl gave ke a thumbs-up.


    “You’re daring, Pearl. You know that Grandfather is keeping a close watch on you, yet you still want to


    return to Enswood at this critical point.”
