Chapter 652
Hugo turned to Pearl since it made sense to him.
Quickly, both Hugo and Richard looked at Pearl closely.
Panicked, Pearl didn’t understand why they wanted her to choose. It was driving her crazy.
She stared at them, feeling helpless. She couldn’t find her voice.
At that moment, Jenny, who had been quiet all this time, stepped in to help Pearl because she wanted the men’s attention. “Rick, do you like Pearl?”
Jealousy consumed her as she heard them compete for Pearl’s favor. She wondered what was so great about Pearl that two great guys were fighting for her.
Besides, they used to be interested in Jenny. She felt that Pearl had snatched everything away. So, she couldn’t hide her hatred toward Pearl
“I don’t think it’s any of your business,” Richard spoke harshly and didn’t want to talk to Jenny.
“Rick, I-”
Hugo didn’t want to pretend anymore. He said lazily, “Yeah, it’s none of your business. Stop meddling in it.”
Jenny couldn’t accept their dismissive attitude because nob*dy had treated her that way. She forced a smile. “I just-” Before she could claim he was concerned about them, they looked away indifferently.
She teared up–she couldn’t accept this kind of rejection. She didn’t care about the importance of the event and ran away.
She would never forgive Pearl
No one knew where Jenny went or when she left. Both Richard and Hugo kept their focus on Pearl.
Hugo was almost sure of his suspicion. Richard had feelings for Pearl again and wanted to win her over.
But Hugo wasn’t ready to give up on Pearl easily. After all, she was at his mercy.
Pearl couldn’t make such a difficult choice as it involved her mother’s health and her love life. It was a tough situation for her.
However, Richard and Hugo were unaware of each other’s thoughts, so they made Pearl decide.
With a smile, Pearl changed the subject. “Look at the woman on stage. Her clothes are so pretty. Should I ask her about the materials later?”
Richard’s eyes turned cold. “Don’t change the subject now.”
Hugo also ignored the woman on stage as he kept his eyes on Pearl. “Pea, you should make up your mind soon, or I can’t keep my promise to you.”
Pearl felt a sense of threat in Hugo’s smile. She pursed her lips and retreated.

It felt like she was drowning. She couldn’t make a choice.
