Chapter 530
Richard didn’t voice his feelings but instead gave her a smile.
After parting ways with Pearl, he leaned against the hallway wall. His phone kept buzzing with notifications. When he finally checked, he was met with a series of photos that left his heart heavy.
In these pictures, Pearl and Damian appeared very close. They were seen at a theme park, riding the carousel, enjoying hotdogs, and sharing an ice cream together. The last image was of a love letter written on a yellowed piece of paper, signed with “Pea.”
As Richard looked at the pictures, his heart constricted, and his breathing became labored.
When the pictures stopped coming in, a message from Hugo Waldorf appeared on his screen.
[I bet you didn’t know Pearl has a lover abroad. Yes, that’s her mentor. They had an amazing time together and looked so sweet. Look at how beautifully that love letter was written. I felt jealous just reading it. Was she ever this obsessed with you?]
That was the final message he received.
Richard lowered his gaze, his long lashes concealing his emotions. “Our relationship is none of your business,” he responded before locking his screen.
Pearl’s door was closed, separating them.
Richard lingered for a moment, took a deep breath, and then walked away.
Inside her room, Pearl was perplexed. Richard had been acting strangely today. Even when he was jealous in the past, he would usually try to make her apologize. Why did he look so sad?
She took out her phone, typed something, then deleted it.
Never mind. She decided it would be better to ask him about it once he initiated a conversation.
Choosing a white dress that accentuated her collarbone and figure, she applied light makeup, tied her hair back, and left her room.
She then called Wayne, but he found out even earlier and was the one who picked Damian up from the airport. He even complained that Pearl woke up too late and didn’t pick him up.
Unable to tolerate his nagging, she ended the call and dialed Feather’s number.
“Fifi, Damian is back. Let’s meet up at Dark Bar.”
Feather nodded and agreed, but before Pearl hung up, the latter heard a peculiar sound on the other end. The voice seemed oddly familiar–Hanzel’s!
Pearl couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you with Hanzel?”
Frowning, Feather glanced at Hanzel, who was holding her stuffed toy and appeared troubled. “I can’t explain right now. I’ll fill you in tonight.”
Pearl found it all quite baffling. What could be so complicated? She didn’t know what to say.
After hanging up, Pearl hopped into her sports car, named Dark Fairy, and headed to Dark Bar.

Upon her arrival, she sensed that there was some commotion inside. Turning off her engine, she stepped out and spotted Damian standing out from the crowd.
