Chapter 667
Anthony appeared quite upset. “I suspect Owen has caused trouble again. Go ch*ck if he’s in his room, and if not, search the cellar.”
The butler was stunned. “Mister Anthony, how do you know it’s related to Mister Owen?” “Richard mentioned Owen’s name five times just now. Just go and find out what’s happening!” He wasn’t about to let Owen’s foolishness jeopardize their partnership with the Waldorfs.
Half an hour later, Richard arrived at Hugo’s house.
Pearl walked out of the house and got into Richard’s car, as Hugo wasn’t at home.
“What happened? Did he hurt you?” Richard immediately examined Pearl for any signs of injury.
Pearl shook her head and smiled reassuringly at Richard. “I’m perfectly fine, can’t you Richard ignored her attempt to comfort him and inquired further, “Did you promise Owen anything?”
Pearl contemplated the question and shook her head earnestly. “No, I didn’t.”
see?”
Richard’s eyes gleamed with anger. “You didn’t use your beauty to manipulate him?” His gaze was penetrating, as if trying to expose her true intentions.
Pearl didn’t dare to lie under his intense scrutiny and nodded honestly. “Yeah, I did.”
Richard’s anger flared, picturing the image of Pearl charming Owen. But he decided to swallow his anger silently, after all, she was his fiancee.
“Promise me you won’t be so careless again. Don’t you realize how worried I get when you put yourself in danger?”
Pearl was at a loss for words. His reprimand stung, and she pouted while defending herself, “I was alone, and I couldn’t take on five or six of them.”
Even though her acting was less than convincing, Richard couldn’t help but feel guilty.” Alright, I won’t blame you.” He caressed her hair. “I’ll accompany you wherever you go, okay?
Pearl thought she had escaped his wrath, but his words took her by surprise. “You don’t have to do that, right?”
“Fine, let’s drop this topic. How long are you going to stay at Hugo’s house?” Richard’s gaze turned cold.
Well, it all depended on Hugo’s attitude…
Furthermore, they had been at Hugo’s house for half a month, and he had yet to start treating Pearl’s mother,
“I’ll urge Hugo to treat my mother’s illness. I’ll leave once she’s cured.”
Richard was finally satisfied, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared.

Suddenly, a notification chimed on Richard’s phone. He looked at it and became solemn after reading the text.
It was from Jenny, and the message was just two words: [Save me!]
