Chapter 537
When Damian went downstairs, Pearl, Wayne, and Feather were no longer there. He received a message on his phone and decided to call Pearl. “Hey, Pearl.”
The sounds of car horns on the other end suggested she was likely on her way home.
“What’s up? I thought you were having a good time with Jenny in your room, so I didn’t want to interrupt. Did Jenny agree?” Pearl responded, looking around and feeling relieved.
Although she didn’t think Jenny was good enough for Damian and she was a tramp, she preferred not to get involved.
“I think you need some punishment, Pearl Leighton.” Damian referred to her by her full name when he was irritated, causing Pearl to immediately drop her joking tone. She asked, “What does Jenny have to do with you?”
“I don’t know her, but I know her sister.”
Pearl vaguely recalled this sister from the past year. A girl named Katie Sullivan had entered their lives and raised her alarms, but all she could remember was that this woman had been sweet yet rude, and nothing else.
Taking a deep breath, she asked, “What does her sister have to do with you?”
“Nothing. We were just in a relationship.”
Pearl almost choked on her own saliva. “In a relationship? Damian Scott, didn’t you claim you were going to stay single forever?”
Pearl was shocked as she vividly remembered Damian’s response when she was sixteen and confessed her feelings to him.
He had told her then, “I don’t have romantic feelings for you, but I want to be with you always. I want to be your partner in life, not lovers who can easily drift apart.”
Nonetheless, he had lied, since he was currently in a relationship and still seemed to care for that woman.
Although Pearl no longer harbored romantic feelings for Damian, the situation was still awkward whenever this topic resurfaced. A palpable tension filled the air, and Pearl realized she shouldn’t have mentioned it.
“I did say that, but Katie drugged me and blackmailed me into a relationship, so I had no choice but to agree.”
The word “drugged” caught Pearl’s attention. Did this imply that Damian was no longer a virgin? A shiver ran down her spine. The radiant image of Damian that had existed in her heart began to fade.
“You’re such a playboy…” Pearl replied, pulling back and climbing into her car. Her smile e startled the driver.

“Child?” Pearl exclaimed, bumping her head against the car ceiling in surprise. She yelped in pain. “Damian, you got someone pregnant while abroad. Are you even a man?”
The driver, overhearing their conversation, muttered under his breath, “Bastard.”
Pearl agreed and yelled out, “Bastard!”
Damian locked infuriated and clenched his jaw, as if he wanted to flush Pearl down the toilet. ” I’ll tell you once more, Pearl. Help me find Katie, or I’ll find a way to make you train even harder!” He abruptly hung up.
Pearl tossed her phone away and grumbled. Why did Damian only think of her when he needed help and not on ordinary days? People truly showed their true colors in times of trouble…
Pearl pushed aside the shock of discovering Damian had a child, gathered her thoughts, and checked the payment for the driver, adding an extra zero.
“Lady, you paid too much,” the driver protested.
Pearl waved her hand dismissively. “Never mind. Consider it a gift so you can head home and get some rest after this.”
