Chapter 695


    For the past twenty years, Pearl hadn''t managed to locate her mother even once.


    "So the bottom line is, they''re both missing, right?"


    Pearl nodded, trying to steady her emotions.


    "I''ll get my people to search for them right away." Hugo''s mood was sour as well. Losing both Beah and Gigi meant he would


    lose any leverage he had over Pearl. The loss of control made him uneasy.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    "It''s fine. I''ll find them on my own." Pearl took a deep breath, confident that Beah would return to their home country. She was


    certain Beah would prefer to die there rather than be left in a foreignnd.


    Hugo sneered. "How do you n to find them? You''re not as familiar with this country as | am."


    Pearl gave him a cold look. "Who said | intend to stay here?"


    Hugo harbored a sinister thought. "You mean you''re going back home?"


    Pearl chuckled, looking down at him with a sense of superiority. "There''s nothing you can do to threaten me now. Where | go is


    none of your business."


    Hugo had expected this oue. He remained calm, showing no signs of panic or frustration, just smiling quietly as he looked at


    her.


    "Very well, I''ll go back with you."


    Pearl felt that the man before her was somewhat unhinged. Although he wasn''t disying any erratic behavior, the bloodlust in


    his eyes was unmistakable.


    Ashiver ran down her spine, and she turned to leave. She needed to keep her distance from this man; he didn''t appear to be


    someone she could easily deal with.


    "Pearl." Hugo''s cheerful voice called out from behind her. "See you in Enswood."


    The next day at Enswood Airport, Pearl, dressed in winter attire, seemed out of ce in Enswood, where spring and summer


    were in transition.


    She wore a mask and sunsses, keeping a vignt eye on her surroundings. Despite her long absence abroad, she hadn''t


    forgotten that she was officially dered dead in her home country. Reappearing at this moment might startle others.


    Pearl scanned the area, searching for a familiar license te. When she spotted the discreet ck Maybach parked nearby, she


    walked over.


    Opening the door, she entered the car and removed her jacket. "It''s so hot! | didn''t expect it to be summer already in Enswood."


    Pearl nced at the short-sleeved outfit and skirt neatly prepared in the car, appreciating Wayne''s thoughtfulness.


    Observing her, Wayne lowered the window curtains and stepped out of the car.
