Chapter 595
Pearl must be lying!
“That’s enough. Quit with the lies,” Hugo retorted coldly. “These tricks won’t work on me.”
Pearl found this man utterly baffling. She obviously saved him, and he recognized her, yet he pretended not to acknowledge it..
“Believe it or not,” Pearl flexed her muscles and chuckled, “you’re no longer the chubby kid from back then. You’ve turned into the scheming and ruthless Hugo!”
Hugo’s defenses started to crumble. “You can’t possibly be the same person from back then!” Even though a voice inside him shouted loudly that it was indeed Pearl, he couldn’t believe it. Could the person he had been helping for all these years be an imposter?
A part of his heart shattered into pieces.
“Why? Don’t tell me you think Jenny was the person who saved you.”
Hugo’s expression changed. “Alright, stop talking.”
Seeing Pearl was about to continue pressing the issue, Hugo shook his head and hastily fled.
Pearl watched his strange departure and sighed. She had definitely saved the wrong person back then. If she had known that Hugo would turn out like this, she might have just watched the bullies torment him and applauded their efforts!
She looked in the direction he had gone and returned to her yard.

In the following days, Pearl spent her days consulting her mother about her illness and. discussing escape plans with Wayne. In her free time, she talked on the phone with Damian, keeping him company and cheering him up.
All in all, it was a relatively relaxed period.
Soon, it was her wedding day. She had to force herself to get up at five in the morning.
The day kicked off with a lengthy session of makeup and preparations.
After the makeup was applied, a team of helpers assisted her in donning a stunning white gown. Originally, they had planned for a modern–style wedding, but Master Jordan insisted on adhering to traditional customs, leading them to opt for a classic wedding instead.
A grand tiara was placed atop Pearl’s head, covered with a delicate white veil.
Surrounded by attendants, Pearl was guided into a carriage that would take her to the newly acquired Jordan family mansion in Bodgow.
To the outside world, it appeared as a joyous and lively occasion, but Pearl found it all rather absurd and inexplicable.
Sitting in the dimly lit carriage with attendants following alongside, Pearl dared not speak too loudly. She could only lower her head, displaying the ring on her finger, and whispered to Damian, “Where are you now?”

Damian had been released a few minutes after Pearl left in the carriage. He was now standing outside the Jordan Residence, flexing his wrist. “I’ve been released. I’ll find Wayne, and we’ll rescue you together.”
Pearl rolled her eyes. “Make sure to tell Wayne to try not to provoke anyone. You’ve seen the Jordans‘ guards. They’re just as formidable as Evil Spirits.” If something went wrong on Wayne’s end, her chances of escaping might be jeopardized.
Damian nodded. He understood the gravity of the situation and wasn’t in a playful mood. Don’t worry. I’ll get you out safely.“.
Pearl cut off the communication on her end and lifted the veil on her head to look at her surroundings.
This wedding was being hailed as the wedding of the century in Bodgow, symbolizing the
the
union of two prominent families, the Jordans and pers. That was why the streets were
filled with a bustling sea of people, all gathered to witness the spectacle.
Pearl herself couldn’t quite decide how she felt about it all.
