Chapter 237
Pearl grabbed her phone and called Richard. “Richard, you need to come home right now. Mister Dustan is in trouble!”
“What happened?” Richard immediately turned his car around and drove back to Waldorf Residence.
When he rushed home and saw Dustan lying on the ground, his l*ps stained with blood, with a worried Pearl nearby, het frowned. “What’s going on?”
Pearl explained, “Hugo learned that he isn’t a Waldorf and mistakenly believes Mister Dustan is the person who had killed his parents. He even sold the hospital and has gone to Lawson Enterprises.”
“Mister Dustan asked him to come home, but Hugo said those hurtful things and made Mister Dustan furious,” she added.
Richard hadn’t anticipated such a dramatic turn of events within his family. “I had a feeling that Hugo’s true nature would eventually come to light.”
But he didn’t dwell too much on Hugo’s actions at the moment. His primary concern was his father’s well-being.
After driving Dustan to the hospital, both Pearl and Richard sat by his hospital bed, their emotions a mix of complex feelings.
“I don’t know what Hugo’s planning, but I suspect he might seek revenge with Lawson Enterprises’ support. We’ll have to wait and see. If they try to harm the company, we’ll be ready for it,” Pearl calmly analyzed the situation.
Her calm assessment contrasted with Richard’s troubled expression. She could sense his unspoken worries.
“Are you sad, Richard? Hugo was your brother, and now he’s turned against you all. I’m sure this must be really tough for you.
In silence, Richard was visibly moved by her words.
Sighing, Pearl continued, “You can’t blame yourself for this, Richard. It was Hugo who failed to see the bigger picture and chose this path. It’s not your fault, and you shouldn’t burden yourself with the responsibility of being his older brother.”
Richard looked at Pearl, his emotions overwhelming him. Suddenly, he took a step closer and embraced her.
This time, Pearl didn’t awkwardly push him away. Instead, she patted his back to offer comfort. Despite Richard being a decisive and ruthless person, and even though his relationship with Hugo wasn’t particularly close, they had been brothers
for over twenty years.
After some time, Richard had already regained his composure.
“How is Dad’s doing, Rick?” Both Hanzel and Mobius rushed to the hospital and were worried by the sight of the unconscious
Dustan in bed.
As they hurriedly entered the room, Pearl quickly released her embrace from Richard, her heart racing.
“He’s fainted out of anger, but he’s okay. Don’t worry,” Pearl assured them.
“Ramona informed me about the situation at home while I was on my way here,” Mobius said, his temper flaring as he inwardly cursed Hugo upon hearing the news. “What an ungrateful b*stard! Just let him go. Don’t worry about him!”
Hanzel, on the other hand, remained composed but cold. “It’s pointless to mourn for someone like him since he chose to cut ties with us.”
