Chapter 442

Pearl’s face turned pale. “What?”
At this point, Esther’s gaze turned sad “After the truth about the poisoning incident came to light, it was revealed that the person behind it was someone from ‘The Melody of the West’ production. Clem went to confront them, but he ended up being brutally beaten and thrown out. They even warned that everyone despises his CEO now, so they advised him and his associates not to stir up trouble again, or they might kill him if they see him again…”
“The Melody of the West..” Pearl thought to herself, “It must be Jenny!”
She looked at Esther, and her expression had a touch of reproach. “Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner?”
Esther hesitated for a moment before responding, “Because you weren’t doing well at that time, and Clem was fine. He told me not to bother you with this ”
“Where’s Clem now?”
“He’s at the hospital.”
Pearl immediately went to the hospital with Richard.
Coincidentally, the hospital Pearl went to was where she had been treated for her seafood allergy. It was surprising that they had never crossed paths before.
Pearl entered the ward where Clem was staying. Hanzel was by his side, giving him water. When they saw Pearl approaching, both of them exchanged guilty glances.
“Oh, you’re still drinking, huh?” Pearl didn’t say much, but her icy glare was intimidating.
Clem trembled and chuckled submissively. “What brings you here, Pearl?”
“If I hadn’t come, how would I know our esteemed Mister Clem is practicing immortality here with one leg up?”
Clem’s injuries were somewhat severe. It appeared that he had a fractured leg, so he had to hang it in the air, which looked somewhat comical “The doctor said it will take a hundred days to heal my strained tendon and fractured bone, so I’m just taking good care of myself. I’ll try to return to work as soon as possible so I don’t waste any more time here.”
The next moment, Clem looked at Esther behind Pearl with a questioning expression, as if asking why she had disclosed this
matter.
“Stop glaring at her. If she didn’t tell me and I found out, I’d scold her too.” Pearl’s words were chilling, and Esther felt a tinge of fear, shrinking behind her. She was too afraid to utter a word.
?”
“Alright, I think you guys took it too far. You confronted them when I wasn’t here. Weren’t you afraid of getting beaten up? Pearl thought about what they had done and got a headache. “Could you please explain why you suddenly felt the need to pick a fight?”
“You see, Pearl. Before the police took that person away, she kept saying it wasn’t her idea. Someone from another production assigned her the task, and she didn’t expect it to become such a big deal, so…”
Pearl frowned. “That’s why you went there?”
Clem scratched his nose. “We were just upset about Esther being falsely accused. In fact, Hanzel went there with me. Man, it’s different when you’re young. He didn’t get hurt at all, and he even took down a couple of them.”
“What about you, the helpless Mister Clem? Why didn’t you lock anyone down?”
Clem cleared his throat. “It’s not that I didn’t try to fight back, but we had a bit of an advantage. Unfortunately, their b*dyguards arrived later and kicked us out.
When Pearl thought about the scene where they were both thrown out, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
“Both of you grown men are acting like lads, especially you, Clem. You’re in your thirties already, and still behaving so immaturely. Your son will have a good laugh when he sees you like this.”

Clem coughed lightly. “My son has visited me, and he even praised me as a hero.”
At this moment, Richard, who was standing beside them, suddenly put his arm around Pearl’s shoulder and said, “Our son won’t be so silly in the future.”
Pearl nodded in agreement.
Clem looked puzzled.
