Chapter 556


    After getting into the car, Pearl noticed a small table inside with an assortment of wine sses, creating


    a dazzling disy.


    However, Drew didn’t seem interested in the wine. He nced at Pearl and seemed to understand her


    thoughts. “These belong to my dad. I’m not much of a wine drinker,” he exined, clearing up Pearl’s

    confusion.


    Pearl nodded. “Well, Uncle Reese certainly has unique hobbies.”


    Reese had used gold to build a house and now had an extensive collection of wine sses.


    Drew reclined in his leather seat, furrowing his brows in amusement. “Didn’t you consider him your


    godfather? Why are you calling him Uncle Reese?”


    “Didn’t I say that? It was just an ident, and I didn’t mean that.”


    Drew shrugged and spread his hands. “He’s going to whine again if he finds out.”


    Speechless, Pearl wondered if Reese would indeed make a fuss about this.


    As she wondered, the car came to a stop near an opulent vi.


    “Alright, we’ve arrived. Let’s get out of the car,” Drew announced. He stepped out first and gantly


    opened the car door for Pearl.


    Upon seeing the dazzling and magnificent vi, Pearl had a moment of realization. Reese certainly had


    a taste for shy things.


    Drew led Pearl into the vi, but before he could unlock the door, it swung open unexpectedly. Standing


    before them was a face that was both familiar and somewhat strange.


    “Oh, Pea, you’ve finallye to visit me. Tell me, why have youe to see me at longst?”


    Reese seemed to have… misunderstood something…


    Pearl wanted to exin, but she noticed Drew snickering nearby. Hence, she decisively shifted the task


    to him.


    “Drew, tell Uncle Reese what happened.”


    Immediately, Reese’s expression darkened. “Uncle Reese? Why did you start calling me that when it’s


    just been a few days?” He then turned to re at Drew. “You love to y pranks the most. Is this your


    doing?”


    Helplessly, Drew rolled his eyes. “Dad, how could I meddle in that?”


    “Why not? You must have bullied Pearl and made her hate me, which is why she’s calling me Uncle


    Reese.”


    Faced with an impending argument, Pearl intervened to help Drew out of the predicament.” Okay, I


    won’t call you uncle anymore. Godfather, it has nothing to do with him.”


    Reese was delighted that the scolding had ceased.


    The three of them happily sat down on the couch and started chatting.


    Reese’s expression turned sour once he learned the whole story. “What? You jumped into the


    sea and ended up on Drew’s ship, is that it?”

    Pearl nodded. “Yeah, Hugo had a group of people chasing after me. I had no choice but to jump into


    the sea.”


    Reese had heard of the man called Hugo. “Isn’t he the guy who had a falling out with the Waldorfs


    family?”


    “Yeah, that’s him.”


    Reese’s disdain was clear. “What an ungrateful person! The Waldorfs had taken care of him for so


    many years, and he still didn’t spare his own brother.” Then, he seemed to recall something and asked,


    “Didn’t he frame you the other day?”


    “You have an excellent memory, Godfather,” Pearl acknowledged. “You saved Rick and me from him


    not too long ago.”


    Enraged, Reese smacked the table. “Unbelievable! How dare he bully my goddaughter! I’ll make sure


    he pays for it!”
