Chapter 659


    Seeing Richard stubbornly hold onto his stance, a helpless sigh escaped Pearl. She knew that it was


    futile to keep on arguing with him. “But Owen won’t easily give up the machete if you do this.”


    Richard seemed to realize theplexity of the situation and softened his expression. He gently ruffled


    her hair. “There, there. Don’t worry about it. He’ll give me that machete.”


    Owen’s opposition was ultimately meaningless because his father wouldn’t pass up opportunity to

    elevate their family’s status.


    “Fine.” Pearl sighed again. “That seems to be the only option now.”


    the


    Unbeknownst to them, as they conversed downstairs, Owen had witnessed everything. Anthony had


    confined Owen to an upstairs room.


    He felt increasingly confused due to their intimacy. Suddenly, his phone rang, and he picked it up, even


    though the caller’s number was unfamiliar.


    “Are you Mister Owen? I heard you’re with Miss Pearl now, is that correct?” The caller eagerly inquired


    about him and Pearl.


    Owen was vexed, witnessing his woman about to leave with another man, and now another woman


    was prattling on the phone needlessly, further irritating him. “What’s it to you?”


    The female caller realized that she was right and ignored his displeasure, continuing cheerfully, “Well,


    I’ll share a secret with you, in that case.”


    Owen’s curiosity was piqued by her words. “What secret?”


    “Listen Pearl has ulterior motives when ites to you!”


    Owen frowned. “What do you mean?”


    “Did she ask for that machete from you? Don’t be fooled. She’s engaged, and her fiance is Richard


    Walford! She got close to you because she wanted your machete, not because she wanted to be with


    you.‘


    Owen nced at the intimate couple downstairs, and a sudden realization dawned upon him when he


    connected the dots. Shockingly, they had conspired together to deceive him and take away the family


    heirloom


    Rage surged within him rapidly.


    “Don’t let her off the hook for lying to you,” the female caller urged.


    Owen snorted. “That’s a given. I have many ways to deal with this kind of woman.”


    “Yeah, make her pay a price.”


    Owen’s curiosity increased when he heard the caller’s smugughter. “But who are you? Why did you


    tell me this?”


    That caller suddenly calmed down. “That’s not important. Like you, I just hate cunning women like


    her.”

    Owen decided to let it go since she had divulged this information. He hung up and started plotting


    against Pearl.


    He intended to make her pay a steep price.


    The following morning, Pearl was still asleep when she was abruptly awakened by a phone call.


    She reached for her phone and saw it was Richard calling. After a brief conversation, she learned that


    he had brought the machete downstairs and asked her toe down to get it. Quickly, she mustered


    her energy, put on some clothes, and rushed downstairs.
