Chapter 576

“So what if I’m his ex? Does the order of things really matter? You must know how much he loved me before. Now that he doesn’t have feelings for you anymore, it’s only a matter of time before we rekindle our relationship,” Jenny said with excitement in her eyes. She believed that once she took Pearl down, she would secure her place with Richard forever.
“Rekindle? You’re incredibly naive. You’ve done so many despicable things that even if Richard and I were to break up, he would never go back to you. You’ll never be a Waldorf,” Pearl retorted firmly. She knew that Jenny would never be accepted into the family.
Jenny’s face twisted with anger, realizing that Pearl had seen through her weakness. “That’s bullsh*t. Richard and I love each other so you have no business getting in between us.
She then smiled coquettishly. “Richard said he has no feelings for you anymore. You’re not waiting for him to remember how it feels, are you? He told me he thinks I’m great and still couldn’t get over me.”
Pearl scoffed. “You’re just a toad who had too much fun. Stop dreaming about marrying into the Waldorf family.
Jenny was absolutely enraged and was going to start yelling when she saw Richard walking over, so she immediately stopped. She smirked at Pearl when she thought Richard wasn’t looking, “Want to make a bet on who he cares about more?”
Alarm bells went off in Pearl’s mind. “What are you trying to say?”
Jenny giggled. “Nothing. Just adding a bit of excitement.” Then, without warning, she kicked the wine glass rack, causing it to topple toward them.
They couldn’t escape in time, and the glasses were about to fall on them.
Pearl closed her eyes and braced for impact. Just before she expected the pain to strike, she found herself in someone’s arms.
Her heart felt warm as she looked up, but her smile immediately faded. The person holding her was not Richard.
Damian, who had rushed to the scene, couldn’t hide his frustration. “Have you lost your mind? Why didn’t you run?” If he came a moment slower, all the glass would have smashed on her!
Pearl blinked and tried to gather her wits. The wine glasses weren’t just falling on her–Jenny was there too!
She quickly turned to ch*ck on Jenny, who appeared unscathed. Jenny was in Richard’s arms, pretending to be afraid and whispering to him. “I’m so scared, Richard. I don’t know why Pearl suddenly kicked the rack. It almost hit me.” She looked up at Richard with pitiful eyes. and then glanced at Pearl from the corner of her eye. “I’m so glad you made it in time.”
Richard… saved Jenny.
In the moment of crisis, he had chosen her over Pearl.
