Chapter 580
She clenched her fist and made up her mind to visit the Jordans that very night.
“In the dead of night, a figure dressed in black moved stealthily through the darkness.
Pearl scaled the walls of Jordan Residence, well aware of the numerous surveillance cameras in place. She had to be careful to avoid being detected.
As she landed on the other side, someone suddenly grabbed her right hand with a firm grip Alarm bells rang in her mind, and she demanded, “Who are you? Why are you grabbing me?”
The mysterious person removed their mask, revealing a familiar face. “I told you, Pearl, never situations like this alone. If I hadn’t sensed something was off about you, you might have triggered traps and ended up dead here without anyone knowing!”

Pearl was curious about how he knew about the traps. She examined Damian’s face as he grabbed her, and relief washed over her. “I’ve been to this place countless times when I was younger. It would’ve been a waste if I didn’t know about the traps.”
“That makes sense. The Jordans only fell into disgrace in recent years, so it’s natural you’d be familiar with the layout,” Damian remarked.
“Can you please not bring up painful memories?” Pearl slapped Damian’s hand away, causing his forehead vein to throb in irritation.
“I’m sorry.” Damian decided not to hold it against her.
Pearl remembered all the traps only after visiting the residence twice. Damian got into the garden from what he could remember.
They both met in the main gate of the garden and smiled as they exchanged looks.
‘Alright, let’s split up to see if we can find any useful clues.”
She only explored a small part of the residence when she was here under the guidance of Ezra. That was why she never found where her mother was hidden.
Damian wasn’t pleased with the idea of splitting up. “Why do we have to split up? Can’t we stick together? The house may seem quiet, but it’s filled with traps. If something were to happen to you, it would only benefit Richard and that scheming woman.”
While his words might have been blunt, they were also true. Pearl thought it over and realized he had a point.
But seeing how sure he was when he spoke, she realized something interesting. “Damian, are you suggesting we stick together because you’ve forgotten the layout and are afraid of getting lost?”
Damian’s usually calm expression briefly betrayed flustered annoyance. “Nonsense.”
Pearl’s intuition told her, that her guess was spot–on, and it irritated Damian. “Alright, fine, we’ll go together. But stay close.” She then grabbed his sleeve as if she was worried he would lose her–it looked funny.

Damian grabbed her hand tightly, and Pearl, knowing the urgency of the situation, didn’t resist. She needed to find her mother quickly.
Together, they ventured further into the residence, arriving at a beautiful little garden. It appeared simple from the outside but was filled with various flowers, creating a stunning display.
“The simplicity creates a striking contrast with the beauty. Whoever maintains this garden must take color coordination very seriously. If I recall correctly, your mother enjoyed drawing when we were children,” Damian commented.
Pearl shook her head and frowned. “No, these are all valuable medicinal herbs… Whoever owns this garden must have been seriously ill.”
