    Dustan appeared to have changed his mind about Jenny, and he looked at Pearl with a guilty


    expression. “I’m sorry, Pearl, I-”


    “It’s fine, Mister Dustan. I understand that you just wanted to save your wife.”


    Touched by Pearl’s understanding, Dustan’s eyes welled up with emotion. He had almost lost such a


    good daughter-inw.


    “What’s that supposed to mean?” Jenny seemed oblivious.


    but


    you


    Pearl addressed Jenny directly, exining the situation, “You know Master Jordan agreed to help you


    get Richard, don’t know he kidnapped Aunt Susan to force Richard topromise. Jenny, this has


    been a one-sided thing. So now that the truth is out, have you awakened from your dream?”


    Jenny turned to Richard in disbelief, seeing the loving way he looked at Pearl. Her heart shattered into


    pieces.


    Dustan tried to advise her. “Jenny, I know you like Richard, but Richard and Pea are meant for each


    other. Even if you had a past with him, that time has long passed. You should move on.”


    “I don’t believe any of this!” Jenny broke down and stumbled. “Mister Dustan, you like me more, right?


    Why would you have treated me so nicely otherwise?”


    “Jenny, you may be naive, but you should know shame. Can’t you see why he’s nice to you?” Pearl


    responded bluntly, not mincing her words.


    Jenny lost control of her emotions and bawled. “Rick. I love you. How could you-”


    Feeling flustered by her tears, Richard said, “Stop crying. It’s embarrassing.”


    ‘Embarrassing…’ Jenny stared at him in disbelief, feeling that this man before her was a stranger. She


    could never have imagined Richard speaking to her in such a manner, let alone shaming her in front of


    so many people.

    “I know. You’re all working together to lie to me, right? I was curious why Richard agreed to be with me.


    It’s all part of the plot!” In a state of distress, Jenny stood up suddenly and dered, “I won’t let this


    slide. I won’t let you get away with this!”


    She then left, stumbling.


    Pearl, despite Jenny’s actions, felt a sense of concern for her mental well-being. She frowned as she


    looked at Richard.” Honestly, I’m worried about her mental well-being.”


    Richard reassured her, hugging her shoulders. “It’s fine. She did this to herself. It’s none of our


    business.”


    While Jenny’s actions had consequences, she also appeared pitiful.


    “I don’t think she was joking about thest thing she said,” Pearl expressed her concern with a sense of


    impending danger.


    “It’s fine, I’ll protect you,” Richard assured her, holding her close.


    “Ahem…”


    They both suddenly realized Dustan was still present and felt a bit awkward.


    “It’s normal for you to be so lovey-dovey, so you don’t really have to pay attention to me. Pretend I’m


    not even here.” Dustan realized he was unintentionally third-wheeling and offered an awkward smile.


    “Don’t get ahead of yourself, Dad. How’s Mom?” Richard asked with genuine concern, as he always


    kept his mother in his thoughts. Despite Dustan’s assurances, he remained worried about her.


    “She’s upstairs. Let’s go see her,” Dustan replied, leading the way.
