Chapter 685


    Pearl kept her promise and, after a few minutes, the man from earlier entered the room. He saw the other man tied to the chair


    and asked in a panic, "What''s going on, sir?"


    The man clenched his jaw and gestured for him to untie him.


    The man quickly realized the situation and began untying the bound man. "Why were you tied up? Didn''t thedy say you were


    looking for me and asked me toe in to see you?"


    The man red at him. "We were both tricked!"


    "What?" the other man eximed.


    "The woman wasn''t at all what she seemed. She was strong and knowledgeable about medicine, but..."


    But she was Simon''s student!


    The man felt a bit disappointed upon discovering that fact.


    The other man was angry too. "What should we do then, sir? Should | send someone to deal with her?"


    The man shook his head. "Firstly, you''re not her match, and secondly, | won''t forgive you if you ruin someone with so much


    potential."


    Despite his irritation at being tied up, the man remained rational. Pearl had a strong personality, but when it came to herbs, she


    was a prodigy.


    That''s why he allowed her to choose the herbs and didn''t activate his second line of defense. How could such arge warehouse


    have only one security mechanism? He had simply let things unfold.


    He wondered if that woman knew she owned him one. He sighed as he absentmindedly yed with his beard.


    The other man was still puzzled by the situation. Why was he being scolded when it was the woman who had stolen the herbs?


    Pearl returned home with the herbs and found Hugo cooking in the kitchen.


    She realized that he loved to cook. Although he could be unpredictable at times, he had a genuine passion for food. All his


    temper seemed to melt away when he was in the kitchen.


    Seeing him cooking in his apron didn''t look annoying at all to Pearl.


    She stretched and yawned, causing the man in the kitchen to turn around.


    "Go freshen up. Dinner is almost ready," Hugo said.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
