Chapter 505
“Finally, after all these years, my chance has come,” the boss said, a sense of satisfaction washing over him as he let out his long–concealed hatred.
He seemed a bit disappointed, though, about the wasted knockout powder. “Why didn’t you try to persuade her earlier? I wouldn’t have needed to put the knockout powder in her pasta.”
Camden, however, didn’t share the boss’s concerns. “It doesn’t matter. She’s unconscious now.”
“But you
did well. At last, we can avenge our Wilson family!”
Camden’s curiosity got the better of him. “But there’s something I don’t quite understand. You always claimed that Pearl ruined the Wilson family, but you never told me why.”
The memory of his first meeting with Pearl, where she smiled charmingly despite her cruel methods, crossed his mind. Although she had ruthless means, she didn’t have to exterminate his family.
“You’ll find out later. Right now, we must kill her to restore the honor of the family and seize control of the Evil Spirits. Only then can the departed family members rest in peace.”
Camden had long suspected Henry Wilson’s true motives. Henry had been eyeing the Evil Spirits for a while now, and his smile gave away his sinister intentions after incapacitating Pearl.
“What are you going to do now?”
Henry contemplated Camden’s words briefly. Although Pearl had appeared modest with light makeup and plain clothes, her beauty was rare. Henry wondered if he could…
“Go wait outside. I want to kill her quietly right here. I have Fatal Acid. No one will find her as long as she turns into a puddle of water!” Henry didn’t reveal the whole truth.
Camden didn’t dwell on Henry’s words too much; he simply found the situation regrettable. After getting to his feet, he glanced at the unconscious Pearl with a hint of pity before leaving.
Pearl suddenly opened her eyes once he was gone.
Henry, who was about to touch her skin, was startled to see Pearl awake. He assumed that the knockout powder hadn’t worked and was about to administer more when she kicked him aside.
Since she was fast, Henry couldn’t react in time and was forced to take the blow.
“How dare you!” he cried out, crouching down and clutching his injured b*dy.
“Stop yelling, or I’ll throw you out of here,” Pearl warned, rubbing her sore wrists after being on the table for so long.
“Why aren’t you knocked out?” Henry was perplexed. He had instructed Camden to ensure Pearl ate the pasta, and she had closed her eyes. He wondered how Pearl had remained unaffected.
“No, I didn’t lose consciousness. If I weren’t cautious around someone like you, I would have been dead by now. Your intentions are obvious in your eyes.‘

Luckily, Pearl had been vigilant. She hadn’t consumed the pasta but had hidden it in her mouth. While they talked, she had buried her face in her arms and discreetly spat it out beneath the table, unbeknownst to anyone, including the old man.
“Well, it seems I underestimated you. Ha! Ha… So what? This is my territory, and it won’t be difficult for me to do anything.” Camden was still outside, and Henry was confident that he could succeed.
“Go ahead and try.” Pearl was not terrified in the least. With a GPS tracker on her, if she didn’t leave for an extended period, the guards would come looking for her.
The outcome of the battle was still uncertain, but she remained unafraid.
“Very well. I won’t hold back just because you’re fearless!” Henry’s smile vanished, replaced by a cold, aloof demeanor. He extended his hand toward her.
Did he want to slap her?
