Chapter 627


    Hearing that voice, Pearl looked at Beah awkwardly, her voice betraying her guilt. “Nothing. I’m just


    thinking about finding a job.”


    Beah smiled, “That’s great! It’s about time you started working. We can’t have Doctor Hugo paying for


    all of us,”


    Hugo chimed in gently, “It’s fine, I can afford it.”


    Beah, however, felt embarrassed, “No, that won’t do. Even though your family is wealthy, we can’t let


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Pea be a freeloader.”


    ‘Freeloader?‘


    Pearl was even more determined to start working, “I’ve decided that I’m going to work, so starting


    tomorrow, I’ll onlye back once a week.”


    Hugo calmly suggested, “You can work at mypany.” He knew exactly where she wanted to work


    and made the counteroffer, clearly going against her decision.


    Pearl just wanted to punch him.


    Beah nodded in agreement when she heard Hugo’s suggestion. “If you work there, at least someone


    can look out for you, and I won’t worry as much.” Then she realized something and asked, “But Doctor


    Hugo, is yourpany in the medical field?”


    “Yes,”


    Beah smiled, pleasantly surprised. “Perfect. Pea has medical training so she’ll fit right in.”


    “Mom, I’m not going to work there.” Pearl could only sigh. “I’ve found the ce I want to work at, and I’ll


    start tomorrow.”


    “The ce you’re talking about is the red light district, isn’t it?” Hugo knew he couldn’t stop her, so he


    stated it openly for Beah to decide.


    Beah nearly fainted when she heard that Pearl nned to work in the red light district.


    Observing her mother’s reaction, Pearl reached out to help her sit down, but Beah pulled her arms


    away, saying, “How could you even think of working in a ce like that?” She leaned against the railing


    to steady herself. “I know you want to work, but I also believe you wouldn’t do something so foolish.


    Please, tell me why you want to go there.”


    Pearl took a deep breath. “I didn’t want to worry you so I kept it a secret. But I found out we need a


    specific medication that can only be obtained from the private vault of the owner of the red light


    district.”


    “So, you n to take the risk and steal it?” Hugo couldn’t ept that idea and clenched his fists,


    ring fiercely at Pearl


    “It would be great if we could purchase it, but if not, we’ll have to try this.” Pearl gave Hugo a look,


    urging him to calm down, and continued, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything reckless. I’ll protect myself.”


    Despite her reassurance, the others still looked at her skeptically.


    Gigi was touched by Pearl’s willingness to help but knew this wasn’t a minor matter. “Pea, I don’t need


    to have my face treated. Looks don’t matter that much, as long as you still like me, right?”


    Pearl red at her. “You were only hurt because of me, so if I can’t help you fully recover, I’ll never


    forgive myself.”


    Beah knew Pearl was stubborn and couldn’t be easily dissuaded. Hugo, on the other hand, continued


    to scrutinize her with his eyes.


    In Enswood, Richard was working in his office, but his thoughts were elsewhere.
