Chapter 561


    Pearl was far from pleased with beingbeled as a vixen and turned around, her anger clear on


    her face..


    “It’s you!”


    Katie! She was taken aback to see the person she had been looking for all along.


    “You…” Katie was equally stunned. Once she recognized Pearl, Katie couldn’t help but wonder why


    she was there with Drew.


    Drew picked up on the tension, realizing they might know each other. Curious, he inquired, What’s


    going on? Do you two know each other?”


    Pearl nodded with a mysterious smile. “Yes, we have quite a history.”


    “In that case, I’ll leave you to catch up. I have something to attend to right now, but I’ll be backter,”


    Drew said, not particrly interested in reuniting with Katie, who had caused a scene when canceling


    their engagement.


    But now, she behaved like his fiancee. Drew found it quite disgusting, so he made an excuse and left


    the two women to talk alone.


    Katie seized the opportunity, smirking at Pearl. “Well, well, it seems you’vee here behind.


    Richard’s back. If he finds out you’re gallivanting with another man, what will he thin


    Previously, Jenny had asked Katie to help plot against Pearl, and Katie wondered when she would

    casually nced at Katie’s slightly protruding belly, concealed beneath the hem of her dress. “I can’t


    possiblypete with you. You must be about two months pregnant by How.”


    Katie had tried to hide her pregnancy, but her belly betrayed her secret.


    “What?” Katie was shocked that Pearl had discovered her pregnancy. She was livid. “Who told you?


    What else do you know?”


    Pearl maintained herposure. “How I found out isn’t important. But, Miss Katie, you’ve slept with


    another man behind your fiance’s back, and you’re carrying another man’s child. That’s why you’re


    trying to break off the engagement. If the Coopers were to discover this…”


    Katie’s face turned ashen as she realized the implications. She had concealed her pregnancy from


    everyone, including her own family. If both the Sullivan and Cooper families learned the truth, she


    would be in deep trouble. The Coopers might not forgive her, and her own family would disown her.


    “This is nder!”


    Pearl ignored Katie’s denial and gave her a skeptical look. “A visit to the hospital for a checkup would


    settle this, don’t you think?”


    Katie, panicked and desperate, hissed, “Even if you know, what good will it do? Do you really believe

    project? I can provide the funding, and you can contribute your expertise. We can work together on


    something.”


    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 similed 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 nce.”
