They proceeded to the airport, took a connecting flight, and eventually landed in Mernaut.
Hugo led them to his residence in Mernaut, a grand villa that left Pearl with a hint of suspicion in her eyes. It wasn’t just a villa; it was an estate!
Pearl couldn’t help but question, “You rarely leave the country. How did you manage to have such a huge place here?”
Hugo ignored her, took out his keys, and led Gigi and Beah inside.
“Hugo, did you take out a loan for this?” Pearl followed them, yelling her question.
Hugo, who thought she was stupid, turned around with an annoyed face. “My dad bought this!
‘Dad?‘
Pearl initially thought of Dustan Waldorf, but she quickly remembered that Hugo was no longer a Waldorf. Could the mysterious man be Kingsley Harrison?
Pearl pondered this as she followed them inside. The interior decor didn’t seem to match Hugo’s taste. She had been in his room at the Waldorf Residence, which was monochrome and lacked coziness. In contrast, this villa had warm tones and exuded liveliness.
“Stay here for now because I don’t come back often,” Hugo said.
Pearl was curious. “Where are you going then?”
Beah, noticing her daughter’s curiosity, tugged at her sleeve. “Alright, we’re guests here. Don’t interfere in Doctor Hugo’s affairs. He has his own plans.”
Guests? More like hostages. However, Pearl refrained from saying that aloud.
Hugo raised his chin at her, as if challenging her.
“Whatever. I don’t care even if he dies,” Pearl grumbled.
“How could you say that? Apologize to Doctor Hugo,” Beah admonished.
Beah was upset because, from her perspective, Hugo had gone to great lengths to bring them abroad, saved her life, rescued her daughter from misery, and even helped treat Gigi. He was practically a saint.
However, her daughter didn’t seem to appreciate his efforts.
Seeing the stern look on Beah’s face and not wanting her to get too agitated and possibly have a heart attack, Pearl offered a half–hearted apology. “I’m sorry, Hugo. I shouldn’t have said that.”
Although it wasn’t a sincere apology, Hugo didn’t seem to mind. He smiled and replied, ” That’s alright. I wouldn’t hold a grudge against a child.”
Pearl shot daggers at him, thinking, “Who are you calling a child?”
Hugo returned her glare, replying silently, “You.”
Pearl refrained from displaying her anger in front of Beah, so she walked away, chose a room,

and brought her luggage inside. She then closed the door and isolated herself.
Beah sighed and turned to Hugo. “Doctor Hugo, that’s just how Pea is. Please forgive her.”
“That’s fine. It’s quite adorable.”
Hugo’s face softened with a loving smile, and Beah suddenly had a thought. Was this doctor interested in her daughter?
She was determined to help him.
After arriving in Mernaut, Pearl locked herself in her room for three days.
