Chapter 560
n seemed at ease with the idea of Pearl being with Drew, but his words caught in Pearl’s throat. She
couldn’t help but wonder why everyone wanted to push her towards Drew, and if there was some
hidden meaning behind it.
Confused, she turned her gaze towards Drew, who blushed and looked away. She wished he would
exin the situation instead of blushing like that.
Pearl mustered an awkward smile and replied, “Mister n, that’s not necessary. There’s nothing
romantic between Drew and me. Plus, I already have a fiance…”
Hearing that, n’s face sank, and he red at Drew. “You disappointed me!”
However, he quickly softened his expression and turned to Pearl with a kind smile. “It’s alright. Nothing
is set in stone until you’re married, and even then, you can get a divorce if needed, right?”
Pearl was left with chaotic thoughts. She couldn’tprehend why this family suddenly became so
hostile and said things she couldn’t understand. Was it a good thing to be so modern–minded?
“My grandpa enjoys talking nonsense. Don’t take it too seriously,” Drew reassured her with a deep
breath, offering a smile. “I have a fiancee too.”
n sighed upon hearing the mention of Drew’s fiancee. “Let’s not talk about your fiancee. I heard she
doesn’t want to marry you and ims to be in love with someone else. She’ll probablye over and
break off the engagement soon.” His face turned red with anger at the thought of the engagement
being canceled.
Drew, however, remained calm. “It’s alright, Grandpa. If she wants to cancel the engagement, then we
should cancel it. We don’t have any feelings for each other. anyway.”
n nodded and dropped the subject.

As the party got underway, n took the stage to manage the event, while Pearl retreated to a corner
to sip tea and chat with Drew.
“I’ve heard some things about you recently. You seem to be quite famous here. But what’s the deal with
your fiancee? She doesn’t seem interested in you?” Pearl inquired.
“I don’t know. Maybe the guy she’s interested in is a better match for her. I didn’t propose the
engagement in the first ce, but I have to end it now. I hate it.”
“It’s alright. Maybe she’s not happy with it either, and that’s why she wants to end it. By the way, I heard
you’re involved in research. What’s your area of expertise?” Pearl had initially thought Drew was a
basketball yer, but it turned out he was a researcher. Well, one could not judge a book by its cover,
“I’m developing new technology, and I work at the National Technological University at Solvosin.”
The university’s reputation extended beyond Solvosin, and it was known for its significant research
contributions. It was clear that Drew was highly aplished.
An idea suddenly struck Pearl. “Would you consider coborating with me on a research

Drew hesitated for a moment. “I have more than enough resources for my research.”
He was doing research because of his interest. Besides, his family had great business and wealth, so
he didn’t need any funding.

Pearl persisted, dropping hints. “Your family’s wealth and earned resources are two different things.”
She blinked at him, silently urging him to agree.
Looking at her mischievous face, Drew smiled and was moved.
As Drew contemted the proposal, a sudden coldugh interrupted their conversation from behind. “I
haven’t canceled our engagement yet, but it seems there’s a vixen cozying up to my fiance.”
