Chapter 289
Pearl glanced at Richard and assured him that it wouldn’t take long.
As they settled into the car, she noticed a person who appeared to be napping. He was reclining, supporting his head, and his fair complexion seemed striking in the dimly lit car.
Pearl was taken aback when she recognized the face. After the recent encounter with Allan, she had conducted background checks on all the members of the Jordan family.
The man before her was Blake, a well-known noble heir in Bodgow and the second grandson of Master Jordan.
Master Jordan had two grandsons Felix Jordan, the eldest, was a renowned e-sports player who consistently held the top ranking. However, he was relatively unknown to the public because he spent most of his time at the club.
Blake, on the other hand, was a wealthy heir in the Bodgow social circle. He was widely recognized in Bodgow, but his aloof personality deterred most people from approaching him. Nevertheless, he had no shortage of admirers, especially among women who dreamed of marrying him.
No one could deny his striking looks, rivaling only Richard’s.
When Blake sensed someone entering the car, he slowly opened his eyes. However, he merely clicked his tongue in response and stared at Pearl without uttering a word, leaving her confused.
Blake’s disdainful attitude quickly dispelled Pearl’s earlier impression of him, making her think that he wasn’t handsome at all.
“Are you the long-lost granddaughter of Grandpa Jordan? You’re not a fraud, are you?” Blake’s first question successfully provoked Pearl.
“Why is one of the Jordan family’s lapdogs barking here?” Pearl derisively referred to Blake as a lapdog.
Although Blake remained composed, his disdain for Pearl deepened. “How rude! You can’t possibly improve even after returning to the family.”
Rolling her eyes, Pearl retorted, “Try to stop me from going back, or cut the crap!”
Pearl’s sharp response left Blake scowling. “I don’t know why Grandpa asked me to pick you up. You’ve been away from us for so many years, and you’ve turned out so much worse.”
With a fake smile, Pearl quipped, “I’ve achieved fame and success. Thank you for compliment.”
your
“Fame and success? You can sing and design, and you’ve even started a company. But do you consider that fame and success? Do you know where Jordan Group stands internationally, even though Cerubleu is among the top three in the country?” Blake’s string of questions amused Pearl.
“What does that have to do with you, the golden child of the Jordans?”
Blake’s expression soured swiftly. He found Pearl to be quite talkative.
Finally, they arrived at a cafe.
Pearl took her seat and remained resolute. “I really don’t have the time right now.”
Her stubbornness put the butler in a bind, but he couldn’t force her in a public place. ” Perhaps, Mister Biake, you could help persuade Miss Pearl.”
Naturally, Blake was reluctant to engage in conversation with Pearl. “Don’t drag me into this. I don’t want to deal with her.”
“See? Even the Jordan family doesn’t want me. You should inform Master Jordan that I won’t be returning with you,” Pearl asserted.
