Chapter 519
Pearl took Esther along to try on wedding gowns, and by the time they finished, it was already afternoon. However, Pearl didn’t find any gown she liked.
After dropping Esther off at her home, Pearl returned to Waldorf Residence.
During dinner, Mobius felt that more than one person was staring at him, but when he looked around the table, no one was looking at him in particular.
Smiling, Pearl served Richard a bowl of mushroom soup and asked, “Do you think Esther’s blind date is reliable, Rick?”
Richard replied confidently, “Absolutely. I can vouch for Justin’s character. He’s always had feelings for Esther, and I’m certain she’ll be very happy if she marries him.”
When Esther was mentioned, Mobius‘ expression changed, but he seemed to be unaffected by the news.
Pearl was eager to see how long he could hold himself back. “When are they meeting each other?”
Richard sipped his soup and answered calmly, “Tomorrow afternoon. If things go well, they might even get engaged on the same day as us.‘
“Yeah, I’m sure Este will be very happy.”
The discussion grew more animated, with Dustan and Susan chiming in, offering their blessings and implying that Mobius had let them down and that Esther deserved someone better.
Mobius‘ eyelids twitched. “Why are you guys so weird today?” He couldn’t understand why they were discussing blind dates and how he had disappointed them.
“Don’t you know, Mobius?” Pearl responded. “Este is going to meet Justin tomorrow to
discuss their marriage. The Newton family is powerful and influential, which makes it a great match for her.”
Mobius frowned. “But Esther doesn’t like him.”
“People can grow to love each other over time. I didn’t like Richard at first, but now I do.”
Mobius‘ face became gloomy. “Esther won’t do that.”
“Why not? She and I went to Harvey’s wedding gown shop today and bumped into Jenny. You can ch*ck it out if you don’t believe me. Esther

Once Richard finished dinner, he wiped his mouth and stood up. “I’ll take care of some work for tomorrow first, and then I can accompany you.‘
“Okay.”
As Pearl left with Richard, Mobius became restless. He looked at his parents and asked in disbelief, “What’s going on? Did you all conspire against me?”

“What do you mean? You’re so dumb. Do you really think you can get what you want by sitting around and doing nothing? Did I teach you that?” Dustan rolled his eyes at Mobius before heading upstairs with Susan in his arms, leaving Mobius standing there alone, dumbfounded.
The next morning, Pearl got ready and left with Richard.
While sitting in the car, Pearl was applying makeup and asked, “Do you think Mobius will follow us? He’s surprisingly good at keeping his emotions in check.”
Richard calmly glanced at the rearview mirror and replied confidently, “Look behind us.”
Sure enough, a car with a license plate belonging to the Waldorf family was right behind them, making no effort to hide.
Pearl criticized, “Why didn’t he choose a less conspicuous car if he wanted to follow us discreetly? He’s so stupid.”
“Maybe he wants to do something big instead of hiding.” Richard knew Mobius well. Mobius could be vengeful, and now someone else was trying to steal his woman. He wondered if Justin could take the beating.
As they continued to ponder their thoughts, they arrived at their destination and saw Esther waiting nearby with Justin standing behind her, looking tall and slender in casual clothes.
