Chapter 956


    The idea weighed heavily on Pearl, making her restless. She noticed Richard''s expression turning


    grim, so she asked, "Are you alright?"


    "Do I look alright to you?" Richard''s expression was unsettling. If what Saule said was true, then he


    and Pearl were... cousins.


    It was a mind-boggling thought.


    "By the way, Pea, is this your boyfriend?" Saule''s happiness at finding her long-lost child


    overshadowed the seriousness of the situation.


    With a conflicted expression, Pearl nodded.


    "Hello, sir. What''s your name?" Saule''s smile was radiant upon learning that he was her daughter''s


    boyfriend.


    "Hello, ma''am. I''m Richard Waldorf."


    The mention of the Waldorf surname made Saule tense. "Your surname is Waldorf?"


    "Yes, ma''am. I''m the nephew of the man who vited your dignity."


    Saule''s expression darkened instantly. It wasn''t the pain of her own vition that haunted her; it

    Even if Richard wasn''t directly responsible for the past incident, the Waldorf family''s reaction was

    shifted to Pearl''s t stomach. There were no signs of pregnancy.


    Pearl blushed. "Mom, we''re not there yet."


    "In that case, I''m relieved. But now that you know the truth, you need to end this rtionship


    immediately."


    Pearl wanted to refuse, but she felt her words would fall on deaf ears.


    "What''s wrong? You don''t want to break up with him?"

    Pearl shook her head. "No, it''s just... I''m not mentally prepared."


    However, considering the circumstances, it would be scandalous for them to continue as a couple.


    Pearl nced at Richard, who looked equally distressed. "But there''s a more serious issue."


    "What is it?" Saule tried to brace herself for whatever wasing.


    "We''re already married."


    Saule gasped. "What?!"
