Chapter 418

The revelation that the man, who was thought to be dead, was still alive left Pearl shocked. Seeing the pain in his expression, she carefully asked, “Missus Harrison…”
“She died in the crash,” he replied.
Pearl immediately realized she had touched a sensitive topic and felt guilty. “I’m sorry for asking.”
“It’s fine. It happened more than a decade ago. I’ve gotten used to it.” Kingsley Harrison’s expression softened.
“Mister Harrison, since you’re alive, why didn’t you search for him?” Pearl inquired.
Kingsley struggled to find the right words. After a long pause, he confessed, “I was selfish. He was young when it happened, so after I recovered, I heard the Waldorfs adopted him, and I wanted him to have a good life there. So, I changed my name and left Enswood. I kept an eye on him all these years until recently when I heard he cut ties with the family.”
Pearl, despite her anger towards Hugo, made an effort to calm her emotions. “Mister Harrison, Hugo is very twisted now. He’s extremely competitive, so he might not listen to you.”
Kingsley’s eyes filled with sadness as he gazed into the distance. “It’s all my fault, I’m sorry. I was the reason he turned out that way. If I weren’t greedy for riches so Hugo can have a better life, he wouldn’t have turned out—”
“If you could meet and have a good talk with him, I think you might be able to convince him when he finds out you’re his biological father,” Pearl suggested with hope in her voice. She felt that this man might be the only person who could save Hugo.
“Why don’t I go see him with you after I save the person with these medicines? We might be able to resolve the issue together.
Pearl smiled, took out a card, and handed it to Kingsley. “You said I don’t have to pay, but I still want to pay you the market price as per the rules. There’s a million and three thousand dollars in there, which should be more than enough.”
Kingsley hesitated. “I can’t…”
“You can, Mister Harrison. If you can convince Hugo to come back to the right path, this is just a small price to pay.”
Pearl was not only generous with her money but also generous with her intentions. A million was nothing to her, and it was a small price to pay to potentially help Hugo.
After exchanging contact information with Kingsley, Richard brought Pearl back to the villa.
Pearl packed the medicine into a bag and went to Raymond’s place. She found Raymond trying to persuade Angela to eat, looking troubled. She couldn’t help but exchange amused glances with Richard.
Raymond noticed their presence and his expression turned slightly awkward.
“So, the president of NK Group has to coax his girlfriend to eat after work.”
Ever since the previous abduction, not only did Pearl and Raymond’s relationship not deteriorate, it seemed they got closer.
Raymond retorted, “And the president of Cerubleu keeps slipping work and spending time with her boyfriend.”
“Alright.” Pearl rolled her eyes and went straight to business. “Stop it. I’m here to treat Angela. Are you ready, Angela?”
Angela avoided the fork Raymond was trying to use to feed her and moved closer to Pearl. “Yes, I’m ready. I don’t want the soup, Ray.”
“Why didn’t you come later? We’re having a meal now. She doesn’t want to eat now that you’re here,” Raymond complained, looking annoyed as he held the bowl.
“Is that my fault?” Pearl sighed, deciding to help him out a bit. “You need to eat, Angela. You must finish your food, or I won’t treat you.”
Angela scrunched up her face. “I really don’t have the appetite. Raymond treats me like a pig. Who else has to drink two big

bowls of soup every meal?”
