Chapter 401


    Sitting in her room, Jenny made a call.


    1/1


    “Master Jordan, you’re ungrateful. I helped you break up Richard and Pearl, but now you’ve made


    things worse for me!”


    Ezra snorted. “You’re reaping what you’ve sown. If you had behaved yourself, you wouldn’t be facing


    such criticism.”


    “You know what I’m wong for! I’m sure you don’t want Pearl to find out that her breakup was nned


    all along, do you?” Jenny might have been younger, but she wasn’t naive.


    Taking a deep breath, Ezra said. “Alright, don’t try to ckmail me. I’ll help you sort it out, but I won’t


    bail you out if you mess things up again.”


    “Okay, don’t worry. I won’t bother you anymore.” Jenny agreed reluctantly, realizing there were benefits


    for her in this


    arrangement


    Ezra hung up abruptly


    While reading thements on the Inte, Jenny couldn’t help but crack a sinister smile.


    Pearl had been away from Bodgow for a month, but ke was still in the hospital. Ezra insisted that


    ke stay in the hospital for an additional two weeks to ensure his full recovery and prevent him from


    overexerting himself.


    When Pearl visited ke in the hospital, he was forced to drink some soup. Spotting Pearl, he hurried


    over.

    “Tell Grandfather that I’m all better, Pearl. I can get out of this bed and go outside now!”


    Pearl found his aggrieved expression amusing. “Alright, I’ll let him know, but you have to stay here a bit


    longer.”


    ke’s eagerness faded as he sat down with a sulky expression. He became downcast because Pearl


    did not console him after a long while. “Okay, I have a question for you. Why did you break up with


    Richard?”


    Pearl yfully tapped his head. “Didn’t you read the news?”


    “Why would Richard suddenly fall for someone else when he was so devoted to you? I think there must


    be some misunderstanding.” As they talked, ke carefully positioned himself on the bed, keeping a


    safe distance from Pearl to avoid getting hit again.


    “I thought the same way.” Pearl’s expression hardened. “But I asked and rified it many times. It’s not


    a misunderstanding. He’s genuinely still hung up on Jenny.”


    ke felt like he had touched a sore spot and became unsure of what to say “It’s okay Ray is a good


    guy. You can’t find any faults with him except that he’s a workaholic”


    Pearl’s l*ps twitched. What a good hobby!


    “That’s true. Trust me. He once sat motionless in the office for thirty-two hours, like a statue.”


    Pearl reminisced about Richard, who was also a workaholic. It was now three o’clock in the afternoon,


    and based on his habits, he should be in a department meeting, sipping coffee without sugar.


    But Pearl didn’t want to think about Richard right now.


    “But Ray also has a first love.” ke hesitated to reveal this fact to Pearl Yet, it was something she


    needed to know.
