Chapter 668
After that, there were no further messages from Jenny.
Pearl noticed the change in Richard’s expression and asked, “What happened?”
“Jenny is in trouble,” Richard replied, showing her the text message as he had no intention of hiding it.
However, Pearl glanced at the text and then looked outside the car calmly. “I know.”
“You do?”
Richard tilted his b*dy and glanced at her, detecting a hint of mockery in her eyes. He could deduce the situation quite accurately–Jenny must have provoked Pearl once again.
Clearing his throat, Richard started the car quietly.
“What’s the matter? Are you going to rescue her?” Pearl assumed he wanted to save the damsel in distress, and she turned around with a touch of sarcasm.
“Am I going to be the knight in shining armor? No, I’m taking you there to watch her misery.” Richard drove fast. Sitting in the front passenger seat, Pearl watched the scenery outside as it rushed by. She unexpectedly found herself feeling more composed.
Using the IP address from the text message, Richard quickly located Jenny’s location. However, it wasn’t the same cellar where Pearl had been held; it was an abandoned gas station.
Upon their arrival, they got out of the car and were met with a strong, pungent smell of gasoline.
Pearl wrinkled her nose and covered her mouth, muttering, “Something doesn’t seem right.” “Agreed.”
Richard held her hand tightly, and she could sense his unease.
“Ha! Ha! Ha!”
Suddenly, sarcastic laughter rang out.
Pearl abruptly turned around at the sound. As expected, it was Jenny.
“I didn’t expect you to come after my casual text,” Jenny remarked, her clothing disheveled and her appearance appearing severely distressed, suggesting she had endured serious
torture.
“Why do you need me to save you then?” Richard glanced at Jenny calmly, showing no sympathy.
Jenny felt a deep pang of anguish at seeing Richard’s coldness. “You’ve remembered everything now, haven’t you?”
“Yeah, I did.” At this point, Richard didn’t hide his thoughts any longer and openly nodded. “Hmph!” Jenny laughed bitterly, her anger evident. “I knew it. You wouldn’t care so much

about Pearl if you hadn’t suddenly recalled your feelings.”
Richard had no desire to engage in that conversation with Jenny and displayed a disgusted expression. “So, why did you ask me to come here?”

“Rick, I love you so much. Why do you cling to Pearl?” Jenny wore a cruel smile on her dirt- smeared face. “I can do everything she can! I can even give up my life for you!” She sounded desperate.
However, true love was never about making someone your possession.
Pearl’s emotions swirled with every word Jenny spoke. “Jenny, you won’t win Richard. Yes,
you managed to get him when he forgot about the past, but you never truly won his heart. No matter how many years pass… you will still lose!”
Rage filled Jenny’s eyes as she lunged forward, grabbing Pearl’s wrist and pressing a knife against Pearl’s neck.
