Chapter 680


    Chapter 680 "Want to know why?" Hugo gave her a mysterious smile that left her confused.


    Pearl took a deep breath and asked, “Yes, why?"


    "| won''t tell you!" Hugo stated before leaving without a second nce.


    However, seemingly realizing something, he turned around and added, "


    By the way, our engagement party got canceled so it will be rescheduled in two days. Please prepare again.”


    Pearl''s interest in why he poisoned Katie waned inparison to the impending engagement, which was more of a headache


    for her. Just the thought of having to wake up at § a.m. to put on makeup was torture enough.


    "Can''t we just skip the party? We were already engaged once, and everyone knows it.”


    "That won''t do. I''m aman of principles, and | have to see things through." Hugo furrowed his brows and shook his head,


    appearing deeply concerned about the matter.


    Having said that, he left.


    Pearl felt powerless about the engagement, but she suddenly remembered that Gigi hadn''t used the medicinal herbs she


    brought backst time. She nned to purchase some fresh ones from the hospital to make medicine.


    However, there were very few medicinal herbs sold in hospitals.


    Besides, even if the hospital had thergest warehouse of medicinal herbs in the city, she couldn''t get in, let alone get her hands


    on them.


    Nevertheless, she arrived there with a glimmer of hope.


    As soon as she arrived at the door, the middle-aged man guarding the warehouse stood up with a serious expression. He


    mumbled, "You can''te in, miss. Please turn around."


    "T want to buy some medicinal herbs. Could you please let me in? Who is in charge here?" Pearl asked politely.


    "But..." Seeing such a beautiful and polite woman making the request, the middle-aged man felt a little tempted.

    "Don''t worry, I''ll go and ask the person in charge.”


    The man got up and left, returning shortly with a man from Enswood.


    Pearl looked at the neer''s face and felt a sense of familiarity , but she couldn''t quite ce where she had seen him before.


    As they were both from Enswood, the man lowered his guard when he looked at Pearl. "Which herb are you looking for, ma‘am?"

    "You seem quite young, yet you im to know about herbal remedies?"
