Chapter 585
Richard’s rationality frustrated Jenny. She held back the screams in her head and declared, I’ll make you fall for me again!”
Suppressing the jealousy gnawing at her heart, Jenny turned and walked away.
Richard’s eyes gleamed, his thoughts consumed by a familiar face. What was Pearl doing in Bodgow? And why was she with another man? Annoyance surged within him.
He quickly made a phone call and said coldly, “Get me a ticket to Bodgow.”
In the dead of night, Pearl prepared to return to Jordan Residence. Damian accompanied her, and they stood outside the compound, apprehensive about what lay ahead.

Pearl scoffed. “You’re quite persistent to follow me all the way here.”
“Ma’am, you should have taken the easy way, rather than this path. Did you intentionally want to get caught?” The butler’s tone rose in excitement at her presence.
“So you knew it was me all along?”
“Of course. Who else would come here in the middle of the night?”
