Chapter 28
“Is Pearl interested in Sean? Richard’s gaze was filled with gloominess. He gave a slight nod and
turned to leave.
Having successfully annoyed Richard, Sean was in a great mood. Before leaving, he asked Pearl to
take care. He even tried to pat her head but she dodged his hand.
Everyone had their thoughts.
At last, Dustan waved and decided it was time to go home given that the situation was awkward and
Pearl was injured.
Pearl was sent to Hugo’s hospital because of her injury. Dustan knocked on the door and walked into
Pearl’s ward, which was rare. When he saw her face, he started reminiscing about his ex–comrade. His
expression turned gentle. “Pea, are you feeling better? My disappointing sons failed to take good care
of you and got you injured.”

Pearl felt a warmth in her heart. “It was my fault, Mister Dustan. I was careless. It had nothing
“Don’t worry, Pea. I’ll give whoever marries you twenty percent shares of Walford Enterprises and
twenty villas in Bodgow. No one will treat you unfairly.” Dustan promised.
Pearl’s heart softened when she heard this. She e was touched.
Hugo was at the door and about to enter the ward. When he raised his hand, he was struck dumb as
he was attracted by what he had heard. One would surely gain a lot of benefits by marrying Pearl. All
the brothers had only five percent shares. If they married Pearl, they would gain another twenty
percent.
Dustan gave Pearl some more advice until he got a call and left in a hurry.
Hugo found it hard to suppress his excitement. Standing at the door, he took a deep breath to calm
himself before entering the ward. When he looked at Pearl, his gaze immediately turned gentle. He
walked toward her and pinched her ankle.
“Does it still hurt?”
Pearl knew that he was inspecting her injury, but she inexplicably felt uneasy. She retreated and
resisted his approach. Forcing out a smile, she said, “I’m feeling much better. It doesn’t hurt as much
anymore.”
Hugo smiled tenderly. “I’m glad to hear that. Call me if anything happens.”
Pearl was stunned as she was unused to Hugo’s attentive care. She could not figure out why he cared
so much about her given how much he was bothered by her previously.
She shook her head. “I’m fine alone.”
Hugo smiled dotingly and rubbed her head. “I told you not to struggle on your own. You’re a girl and
should learn to rely on
others.”

uninterested in her. Why was he showing so much concern for her now?

Richard did not come to the hospital to see her over the days Pearl was hospitalized. The company
was on a rising trend. recently, so he should have some free time. After pondering over it, Pearl
realized that he might be purposely avoiding her because of what happened the other day. Hence, she
asked to ride in Richard’s car on the day she went back to work after she had recovered.
“You’re so nice, Richard, so I’m sure you won’t mind me riding in your car, would you?” Pearl got into
the shotgun seat and fastened her seatbelt.
Richard’s gaze was filled with emotions. He asked coldly, “Why aren’t you riding with Sean?”
Pearl chuckled. “I like your car better. Hurry up and get in or we’ll be late.”
He failed to outspeak her, so he helplessly gave her a ride to work.
