Chapter 616
Sean burst into laughter. “You think so poorly of me.”
“Okay, what do you want?”
Sean didn’t beat around the bush and said, “Be my girlfriend for a day.”
“No,” Pearl immediately refused, showing no hesitation.
“Why not? You have nothing to do with Richard now. Why hold onto your integrity?” Sean laughed while listening to the running bath. “Why are you so infatuated with him?”
Sean appeared to be mocking her at that moment. As expected, Pearl was infuriated and snorted. “I’m just not that easy. I’m not preserving my dignity for him!”
“Well, I won’t know either. But you’ll have to ask someone else for help if you say no.”
This was the only time Sean didn’t give in to her. His words made Pearl hesitate. It might be her only chance and the best choice for her. She could get what she wanted by being his girlfriend for a day, and she didn’t know how to secretly leave the country without his assistance.
With a determined expression, she gritted her teeth. “Okay, you
have my word.”
Sean laughed heartily. “Alright, let’s make it tomorrow. I understand that it’s quite urgent for you.”
Pearl nodded without much emotion. “Okay, I’ll wait for you at the city center at eight tomorrow morning.” She then remembered the Cooper Residence. “Did you guys go abroad?” Sean found her question amusing. “It’s all because of you. Your fake death caused an uproar. We had to move out and go somewhere else to avoid public scrutiny.”
Pearl smiled. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Don’t forget to show up early tomorrow.”
Pearl’s gratitude disappeared instantly. “Got it. See you tomorrow.”
She hung up, and at that moment, Drew emerged from the bathroom, drying his hair. He was surprised to see his phone in Sean’s hand.
“Sean, why are you holding my phone?”
Sean discreetly deleted the call log and smiled gently. “I used your phone to make a call since I couldn’t find mine.”
Drew nodded, but Sean’s smile made him uneasy. “Sean, aren’t you sad? Aren’t you bothered by Pearl leaving you?”
Pearl was a reserved woman, but she could also be sweet and extremely attractive. Even Drew had been charmed by her.
Moreover, Sean had agreed to change his surname, with the only condition being to marry Pearl. Drew couldn’t understand why Sean would be willing to let Pearl go after agreeing to everything else.

He recalled the sight of Sean downing wine at the table until his eyes turned red. Drew had initially thought it was because of the upcoming wedding, but he soon realized that Sean had already foreseen the outcome and was grieving for himself.
Thinking about it, Drew felt some bitterness. He cared about Pearl; she was the woman who had helped him when he was in trouble, and her charisma had captivated him during the shareholders‘ meeting.
However, circumstances had changed, and all Drew could do now was ensure her safety and happiness, despite his limited power.
