Chapter 582
Damian couldn’t hold back any longer and decided to use his charming looks to his advantage. The girl had likely been isolated for quite some time, causing her to stutter while talking to a man, but she appeared to be honest. “I… Yes, that’s her name,” she stammered.
That was easy.
Pearl was still in shock, but then, a moment later, they heard noises from outside.
“I saw two people approaching. I think they’ve found this place!”
“Have you checked the surveillance? Where did they come from? Is this an assassination attempt?”
“I did. They were dressed in black, and we couldn’t see their faces. Master Jordan doesn’t allow anyone to come here so we must catch them!”
Pearl and Damian exchanged glances and prepared to leave.
However, before doing so, Pearl suddenly remembered something. She tightly placed the two necklaces she had been holding into the girl’s hand. “Could you please give these to the sleeping lady? She’ll understand when she sees them. Don’t worry, we mean no harm.”
“Alright, I will.” The girl couldn’t tell if these two people in black were good or bad, but Pearl’s eyes
seemed clear and confident. She decided to label them as good people.
“Thank you. I’ll come back tomorrow night.”
The girl hesitated and looked at Damian before asking, “Will both of you be coming?”
“Yes,” Damian replied before Pearl had a chance to respond.
Pearl glared at him. “Who says I want you here?”
Damian smirked and playfully tugged at some of Pearl’s hair. “Who else would you come here with? You’re funny.”
Pearl felt infuriated and wanted to retaliate, but Damian quickly grabbed her wrist and. frowned. “Enough of this. We need to leave now. Those people will be here soon.”
“Fine, fine.” Pearl nonchalantly agreed and leaped over the wall. “I’ll distract them, and you
your escape.”

Damian balled his fists in frustration. “Why are you the distraction?”
“Because you can’t remember the way.”
Damian’s expression darkened because it was the truth.
He then climbed over the wall, but as he was mid–air, he caught sight of a pair of bright, clear eyes fixed on him.
Once they both left, a voice came from the door.
“Gigi, what’s going on out there?”
Gigi’s eyes darted around, and she quickly hid the necklaces she was holding. “I don’t know.
There was suddenly a lot of noise.”
“Don’t stay out there then. It’s quite cold. Come back inside and rest.”
Gigi felt warmness in her heart.

Three years ago, Beah had taken her in, and she had been living there ever since. Beah had cared for her with the utmost kindness.
The lady who had just arrived looked remarkably similar to her, so Gigi suspected they were related. If the lady returned, would Beah still…keep her?
She didn’t want to find out, so she didn’t tell the truth. She knew the lady would come back to see Beah, but she would rather drag this out.
She then tucked the necklaces inside her inner shirt. “Alright. I’m coming back to sleep.”
