Chapter 555


    The masked man burst intoughter. “150 thousand dors? You’re just a strange woman who we


    rescued. How can you afford that?”


    Pearl answered loudly, “I’m the president of Cerubleu. Of course, I can afford that.”


    “What? Cerubleu!”


    Even though they were only working as cargo transporters on the ship, they had heard of the renowned


    Cerubleu. They had heard that the president of Cerubleu was a young woman named Pearl


    Leighton…


    “I’m Pearl Leighton.”


    Her words drained the color from the masked man’s face. “You’re… Pearl Leighton?”


    “Yeah, so do you trust me now? I can really afford that much.” She stood nearby, gazing at him with


    mixed emotions in her


    eyes.


    “Alright, I give up.” Defeated, the masked man tossed away his weapon and surrendered.


    His men behind him followed suit and joined Pearl’s side.


    With the issue resolved, Pearl decided to spare the man on Drew’s behalf. She ordered him to be


    confined to his room for three days and assigned two men to watch over him.


    After everything was settled, Pearl yawned as if nothing had happened. Then she said, “Drew, let’s sit


    down and eat.”


    Drew remained silent throughout the whole incident, just smiling and watching Pearl.


    “Sure, let’s eat.”


    So, she was Pearl. No wonder Reese would take her in as his goddaughter.


    Now that he knew who she was, Drew couldn’t help but smile even more. “I’m sure you know who I am


    now.”


    “The same goes for you.” Pearl took a bite of the food. It was decent but not expertly cooked. “I never


    expected my dad to take in someone as intriguing as you.” Drew, however, didn’t eat. He leaned back,


    crossing his arms and looking at her thoughtfully.


    “You’re too kind. It was just a stroke of luck,” Pearl replied casually, continuing to inspect the food on


    the table as she decided what to eat.


    Drew found himself surprisingly pleased as he watched her enjoy the meal.


    The ship arrived at its destination on schedule three dayster.


    Drew got off the ship first and instructed his men to unload the cargo onto the dock.


    Meanwhile, Pearl looked around and eventually stepped off the ship too.


    Seeing Pearl, Drew smiled and asked, “Are you leaving now?”


    Pearl was at a loss for words. “No, I’m not familiar with this ce. Plus, I’ve got no money,


    and nothing to prove my identity. Where can I go?”


    Drew touched his chin and nodded in understanding. “Yeah, you’re right. The sea washed away your


    stuff.”


    Pearl was at a loss for words again.

    “How about this? Come to my house first. My dad is there too. He’s been wanting to see you but never


    had the chance. Now’s the perfect opportunity.”


    Drew’s smile appeared harmless, but for some reason, Pearl felt uneasy. Nheless, she reluctantly


    agreed, feeling she had no other options at this point.


    Drew made a call, and half an hourter, an elongated. Lincoln pulled up by the roadside right

    on time.


    “Isn’t this a bit too much?” Pearl raised an eyebrow at the sight of the long car.


    Drew didn’t seem bothered, though. He walked over and got into the car. “Get in. Why are you still


    standing there?”


    Pearl followed suit and joined him in the car.
