Chapter 853


    Pearl sighed and watched over Beah''s body with a heavy heart.


    "Mom, you were so stubborn, just like me."

    Damian led Gigi outside for some fresh air. Remembering she still had Damian''s clothes, Gigi


    hurried to her room to fetch them.


    Returning with the suit jacket, she saw Damian rxing against a tree, smoking. Despite disliking


    the smell of cigarettes, Gigi found Damian''s smoking oddly captivating.


    She shyly offered him the jacket. "Here''s your jacket. I cleaned and ironed it for you."


    "Thank you." Damian, having forgotten about the jacket, was touched by her gesture and simply


    thanked her, noticing her bashfulness.


    An awkward silence fell between them until Damian spoke up. "You know, Aunt Beah was really


    clever."


    Gigi, lost in his voice, barely registered his words, managing only a surprised "Ah!" in response.


    Damian continued, "She knew you were at Dark Bar but let things happen. She knew I''d find you


    and her, even though she was gone by the time Pearl found out."


    Although it sounded very incredible, the naive Gigi still couldn''t believe it. "Aunt Beah knew all


    along? She let us fall into her n?"


    Bitterness filled Gigi. It seemed like Beah had considered it for a very long time.

    "It''s just my guess, but I don''t think there''s anything wrong with it."


    Gigi nodded and started recalling something. Many formerly confusing things suddenly became


    clearer. "I remember it now. Aunt Beah rarely let me go out, but she ignored it when


    I went to work at such a far ce."


    "Yeah, she knew it was safe because of Pearl, but didn''t know Pearl wasn''t there recently. So, you


    might have suffered for a few days. That''s how I ended up meeting you." Damian then turned to her


    and asked, "How did it go, by the way? Did they mistreat you?"


    Nervously, Gigi assured him, "I… I''m okay. I ran into some trouble with bad people, but I managed."


    It was possible to bump into perverts if one worked at a bar. However, she avoided any serious


    problems by staying cautious and pretending to be sick if needed, keeping herself safe from any


    harm.
