Chapter 310
“Oh, Pearl. Bodgow is full of rich men, and Richard is really just an ordinary man. I’ll introduce someone better to you. What do you think?”
Ezra genuinely wished for Pearl to find a more suitable match, as he believed that only a man. involved in at least two of the following fields-the military, politics, or business – had the right to marry into the Jordan family.
Pearl ignored Ezra and sneered. “You have no right to interfere in my relationship with Richard.”
“You’re as rebellious as your mother!” Ezra, incensed, felt his blood pressure rise due to Pearl’s defiance.
Stunned, Pearl mocked, “My mother would have been happier without you!”
“I’ll say this one last time, do not date Richard, or you will face the consequences!” Ezra warned sternly. Pearl’s defiance only seemed to further enrage him, and he trembled with anger. He couldn’t fathom why the Jordan family’s daughters were all so rebellious.
Pearl, undeterred, confronted Ezra, “Master Jordan, you’d better not push me too far, especially while Blake is still under my care. Otherwise, I might reconsider treating him.”
‘How dare she threaten me with Blake!’ Ezra thought, widening his eyes. Pearl’s audacity left him flabbergasted. Beah, her mother, had been a more obedient and compliant daughter, never daring to confront him so openly or issue threats.
Pearl, however, was young and fearless, brimming with self-confidence.
“Pearl, let’s talk this through…” Ezra, after a moment’s pause, adopted a gentler and more conciliatory tone. “I’m not trying to prevent you from dating Richard. I’m doing this for sake. I’m just worried that you might bump into someone bad.”

“I can judge for myself whether Richard is good for me or not. If you want me to continue treating Blake, you’d better not meddle.” With that, Pearl got up and hastily left for her room.
“Pearl!” Ezra called after her with a sigh. “I understand that I can’t dissuade you from this. As for Blake… I hope you can heal him.”
But Pearl knew that Ezra was only stalling for time. Despite his words, he would undoubtedly find other ways to thwart her relationship with Richard once Blake was cured. At least for now, she could focus on Blake’s recovery without that additional worry.
“Okay, I’ll try my best. But please ensure you find the culprit behind the incident,” Pearl urged.
At the mention of that, Ezra frowned. “I’ve investigated, and it appears to be the work of the Quinlevans! It seems their growing influence has made them bold enough to scheme against my granddaughter.”
“Their actions towards me don’t matter as much as Blake’s well-being. What’s important is that Blake was injured. I hope you will punish them as a form of apology to Blake.” Pearl gave him an indifferent look and left.
The following morning, Pearl visited Blake’s ward and found him lying in bed, scrolling through social media.
“Are you checking the news, Pearl?” Blake immediately asked her.
“Why ch*ck social media so early in the morning?” Pearl retorted as she turned on her phone
and noticed a news article.
