Chapter 661
Pearl was filled with panic as the group chasing her refused to give up, quickly closing the distance between them. She knew that things would end badly for her if they caught her.
While running, she unexpectedly stumbled over a stone and fell forward, her knees taking a painful hit and starting to bleed.
“Stop struggling. Just give up,” Owen taunted as he approached, reaching out to grab Pearl.
However, before he could reach her, someone pushed him forcefully to the ground.
“Who are you? How dare you push me!” Owen protested, his pride hurt by the fall. But as he looked up, his eyes widened when he saw Esther, who was clearly furious.
His expression immediately brightened. The young woman in front of him appeared purer and cuter than Pearl. Moreover, she and Pearl seemed to know each other…
A wicked idea began to take shape in Owen’s mind as he smirked.
Pearl was utterly shocked to see Esther and couldn’t understand why she was there. There was also a man standing behind her, backlit by the sunlight, and Pearl could barely make out that it was Mobius.
“What are you both doing here? Mobius, didn’t I ask you to take good care of Esther? Why did you bring her here?” Pearl scolded, especially given the dangerous situation. Her actions could have easily implicated Esther in her troubles with Owen.
Nervous, Pearl noticed Owen’s suggestive expression and became even more apprehensive
about his intentions.
Mobius remained silent, looking embarrassed due to Pearl’s reprimand. He had only sought Hugo’s help and came here because Esther insisted on seeing Pearl while participating in a fashion show in Mernaut.
“I missed you so much, Pearl. The internet said you were dead, but I never believed it. You’re too clever to be caught. I always thought you were living secretly somewhere, and now I’ve finally found you,” Esther exclaimed joyfully upon seeing Pearl again, unaware of the impending danger.
“This girl looks so radiant…” Owen’s voice trailed off.
But Esther couldn’t understand Ealdasy. Irritated, she responded in Capleiner, “What are you saying?” Despite the language barrier, she could tell from Owen’s lecherous gaze that he had bad intentions.
On the other hand, Mobius understood Owen perfectly well and his expression darkened.” Who are you? How dare you covet my fiancee?”
Mobius looked fierce and resembled Richard, who had visited Owen’s home the previous day, further infuriating Owen.
“Fiancee? She’s mine when she’s in my hands. How dare you try to take her from me?” Owen declared angrily, then instructed his men, “Hey, catch both of them!”
There were only three people on Pearl’s side, including the weak Esther.

Owen sneered, “No. I’m sure they’re very important to you.” She had lied to him and taken something valuable from him. So, it didn’t seem out of line to him to target those who were important to her.
“They come from more influential backgrounds than me. If you want to bring trouble to your family, go ahead and kidnap them,” Pearl asserted with indifference.
