Pearl was far from pleased with being labeled as a vixen and turned around, her anger clear on
her face..
“It’s you!”
Katie! She was taken aback to see the person she had been looking for all along.
“You…” Katie was equally stunned. Once she recognized Pearl, Katie couldn’t help but wonder why she was there with Drew.
Drew picked up on the tension, realizing they might know each other. Curious, he inquired, What’s going on? Do you two know each other?”
Pearl nodded with a mysterious smile. “Yes, we have quite a history.”
“In that case, I’ll leave you to catch up. I have something to attend to right now, but I’ll be back later,” Drew said, not particularly interested in reuniting with Katie, who had caused a scene when canceling their engagement.
But now, she behaved like his fiancee. Drew found it quite disgusting, so he made an excuse and left the two women to talk alone.
Katie seized the opportunity, smirking at Pearl. “Well, well, it seems you’ve come here behind.
Richard’s back. If he finds out you’re gallivanting with another man, what will he thin
Previously, Jenny had asked Katie to help plot against Pearl, and Katie wondered when she would have the chance. Unexpectedly, that chance has arrived.
Pearl, sipping her tea calmly, responded nonchalantly, “Oh please, You’re worse than me.” She then casually glanced at Katie’s slightly protruding belly, concealed beneath the hem of her dress. “I can’t possibly compete with you. You must be about two months pregnant by How.”
Katie had tried to hide her pregnancy, but her belly betrayed her secret.
“What?” Katie was shocked that Pearl had discovered her pregnancy. She was livid. “Who told you? What else do you know?”
Pearl maintained her composure. “How I found out isn’t important. But, Miss Katie, you’ve slept with another man behind your fiance’s back, and you’re carrying another man’s child. That’s why you’re trying to break off the engagement. If the Coopers were to discover this…”
Katie’s face turned ashen as she realized the implications. She had concealed her pregnancy from everyone, including her own family. If both the Sullivan and Cooper families learned the truth, she would be in deep trouble. The Coopers might not forgive her, and her own family would disown her.
“This is slander!”
Pearl ignored Katie’s denial and gave her a skeptical look. “A visit to the hospital for a checkup would settle this, don’t you think?”
Katie, panicked and desperate, hissed, “Even if you know, what good will it do? Do you really believe the Coopers will listen to you? No one can force me to go to the hospital if I refuse.”

project? I can provide the funding, and you can contribute your expertise. We can work together on something.”
Drew hesitated for a moment. “I have more than enough resources for my research.”
He was doing research because of his interest. Besides, his family had great business and wealth, so he didn’t need any funding.
Pearl persisted, dropping hints. “Your family’s wealth and earned resources are two different things.” She blinked at him, silently urging him to agree.
Looking at her mischievous face, Drew similed and was moved.
As Drew contemplated the proposal, a sudden cold laugh interrupted their conversation from behind. “I haven’t canceled our engagement yet, but it seems there’s a vixen cozying up to my flance.”
