Chapter 141
“Don’t worry, Pearl. I’ll take good care of Mobius.”
Esther’s words earned her a glare from Mobius. “I don’t need you to take care of me!”
Pearl nodded. “Okay, just go.”
After bidding Mobius and Esther goodbye, Pearl went to the hospital alone. It had been three days, and the DNA report might be ready by now.
However, when Pearl received the report, she didn’t immediately ch*ck its contents. She knew it was likely a lie made by Susan to manipulate Richard into breaking up with her. Besides, Pearl felt that it was impossible that she was Richard’s biological sibling.
When Pearl got home with the report, she stumbled upon Hugo, who had come home to change his clothes.
Seeing the report in her hand, Hugo raised his brows and smiled profoundly. “Where have you been, Pearl?”
Pearl, still upset about their previous encounter, gave Hugo a stern look. “That’s none of your business. Don’t you have anything else to do, Mister Hugo?”
Hugo’s face paled, but he understood that Pearl’s anger was justified. After regaining his composure, he replied, “You don’t have to be angry with me, Pearl. You’ll see that being with me is the right choice.”
Pearl mocked him because of his blatant lie. “The right choice? I’d never dare to be with you. What if you do something to me and kill me in the future?”
The memory of Renee and Jennifer’s deaths still haunted her.
“Richard isn’t your perfect match, Pearl. He loved Jenny so much in the past, but now he easily moved on to you. Do you think you can trust him?”
He continued, “And there’s something you should know… Jenny will be back soon. Even if Richard wants to
be with you, I’m sure Jenny will have an impact on him. By the way, you really resemble Jenny. Both of you are so stubborn.” Hugo still attempted to manipulate her.
“That’s enough. We know what’s on your mind,” Pearl said, taking a step back. She continued in a cold tone, “I think you have your own affairs to attend to. I won’t bother you any longer. Bye.” With that, Pearl went
upstairs.
Shaking his head with a helpless smile, Hugo felt that Pearl wouldn’t bend to his will without experiencing suffering.
Later in the evening, all the Waldorfs were gathered at home.
After dinner, Pearl retrieved the DNA report from her bag, as she believed it was the right time to address the
matter.
“Madam, there’s something we need to clarify,” Pearl stated, placing the report in front of Susan. “I must inform you that I am not Mister Dustan’s biological daughter. Furthermore, some things are better left unsaid. I conducted a DNA test between Richard and me. I hope you understand that my mother had no
relation to Mister Dustan either.”

Richard ate silently while listening to Pearl’s explanation.
Pearl knew it was wiser to frame the situation as if she were doing it for her mother, who was a wonderful and virtuous woman, rather than for herself. Such an outstanding woman like her mother couldn’t be easily slandered by others.
“Humph… No one knows if you’ve done anything to the report or not,” Susan retorted, unwilling to admit. the truth, and prepared to find various ways to dispute it.
