Chapter 664
Owen turned to Jenny and asked seriously, “So, everything you’ve told me is true?”
Jenny widened her eyes in disbelief. “Of course. I’d be in deep trouble if I lied to you!”
Owen’s expression improved. “What’s your relationship with her?”

Jenny’s face stiffened momentarily. After a pause, she lifted her chin proudly and responded, ” This woman has always been targeting me because she likes Richard, but Richard likes me.
Pearl refrained from refuting Jenny as she observed Jenny slowly falling into her own trap. Of course, all she felt for Jenny was contempt, so she had no intention of defending herself against Jenny’s false claims.
Jenny’s words enlightened Owen. As expected, Pearl was right. Jenny had been using Owen to get rid of Pearl.
Fury welled up within Owen, but he maintained a calm and gentle expression. “Miss Jenny, right?”
Jenny kept her head low shyly, misunderstanding her own notoriety. “I didn’t expect you to know me, Mister Owen. I’m honored.”
Pearl couldn’t help but burst into laughter when she heard that.
Jenny felt humiliated and turned to glare fiercely at Pearl. Then, she put on a smile for Owen and said, “She’s always like this–weird. Please don’t mind her. By the way, how are you going to punish her?”
Sending a few men to ruin Pearl would be ideal. Even if Pearl survived and returned to Richard, he would never love her again. After all, no one liked a promiscuous woman.
Owen nodded thoughtfully. “If you’re telling the truth, I should punish her properly.”
Jenny’s eyes lit up. “Yeah, you must!”
But in the next moment, Owen said, “Hey, untie Pearl.”
Jenny’s smile disappeared. “What do you mean? Aren’t you going to punish her? Why are you untying her?”
She was still confused as a few men approached her slowly.
“No, you must be mistaken,” Jenny stammered, her heart pounding, when those menacing men drew near.
Owen helped Pearl to sit down since she was bound and couldn’t stand properly. He then turned to Jenny with a cold stare. “You sowed discord between us and wanted me to hurt her. Dream on!”
All he felt for Pearl now was guilt and heartache. If he hadn’t trusted Jenny, he and Pearl might have had a good relationship. As a result, Pearl had lost any positive impression she might have had of him.
Of course, Owen had no intention of letting Jenny off easily. At that moment, two men restrained Jenny and pinned her to the floor, rendering her immobile.

Jenny looked up and screamed frantically, “Why are you capturing me instead of Pearl? What did she say to you, Mister Owen? Don’t give in to her lies!”
