Chapter 404


    Different emotions flickered in Richard’s eyes. He then pushed Justin’s hands away. “Go away.”


    The spark of enthusiasm that had briefly ignited in Justin was quickly extinguished. Awkwardly, he


    touched his nose. “I was just kidding. If you want to win her back, you’ll have to do it yourself.”


    “Why should I do that?”


    Justin marveled at Richard’s disappointing behavior. “It’s obvious that you love Pearl. I don’t


    understand why you’d want to


    be with Jenny when it’s so obvious you have no feelings for her.”


    Richard wondered if it was that obvious. Swirling the wine in his ss, he hesitated. “Ezra kidnapped


    my mom and forced me to break up with Pearl so she could go back and get engaged.”


    Stunned, Justin couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Why didn’t you tell me about such a serious


    matter earlier?”


    “It wouldn’t change anything even if I told you.”


    “You could tell Pearl even if you didn’t tell me. Do you really think she won’t understand you?”


    Richard’s eyes were gloomy. For the first time, he started to feel like retreating. “If I had been


    threatened with my family once, it would have kept happening. This kind of rtionship is torture for


    Pearl.”


    Thinking of Raymond, he couldn’t help but smile. “And Raymond is pretty good too.” With that, he


    downed the rest of his


    wine.


    “You’re Richard! If you can’t be with the woman you love, you’d better give up on life!” Justin felt like


    pping some sense into Richard.


    For a moment, Richard looked at Justin, utterly speechless.


    “You need to rify things. If you regret it, it’ll be toote. Besides, Pearl is no ordinary woman. She


    has the ability to work through any problem with you.”


    Hearing this, Richard was deeply moved. He started to wonder if he could ept the fact that he had


    broken up with Pearl.

    “And you don’t even know what kind of person Raymond is. If Pearl is mistreated or bullied, then


    you…”


    “Understood.”


    Richard’s sudden determination surprised Justin. “What have you understood?”


    “I’m going to steal her away.”


    Justin choked on his wine. “What? I was just joking with you. I didn’t ask you to do that!”


    “Alright, just go home.” Richard gave Justin a calm look. Then, he set his ss down and sat at his


    longer needed.


    Pearl was strolling in the garden outside the Jordans’ vi while on the phone with Esther, discussing


    her ns. Suddenly, she noticed someone scaling the fence to sneak inside.


    rmed, she concealed herself behind a hedge, quietly observing the intruder. Strangely, the person


    looked oddly familiar.
