The obvious rejection didn’t make her back down. Instead, she took a few steps forward.
Sophia raised her chin, looking smug. “Pearl, I came to tell you something.”
Pearl couldn’t help but scoff because she already knew what Sophia was about to say. “What? Did you
get a promotion?”
Sophia appeared pleased and smiled at Pearl. “I’m sorry to say this. Mister Richard asked me to take
over as the new design director. I really appreciate your guidance and support until now, so I came to
thank you.”
Pearl had expected this news, but hearing it still hurt her heart.
“Who’s this, Pea?” Mobius, looking at this woman whose smile made him uncomfortable, couldn’t help

Pearl smiled. “This is your brother’s protege, the company’s new design director.”
Mobius had already developed a liking for Pearl, and when he saw someone come to flaunt her
success to her, he couldn’t hold back. “Tsk, my brother has terrible taste. Why is his design director
dressed like a teenager? People might think he has some kink”
Sophia’s expression turned awkward, and anger coursed through her, but she restrained herself
because this was Richard’s brother. “This is just the way I dress. Why do you have to attack me…”
Mobius sneered. “Save your act. There’s no need to pretend here. My brother enjoys seeing you cry,
but I don’t buy it. Go cry to him.”
Unable to bear the humiliation, Sophia abruptly fled from the room, tears streaming down her face.
“I thought Sean had the sharpest tongue among your family, but you’re definitely a close contender,”
Pearl remarked, feeling much better after the incident and immediately liking Mobius more.
This young man was very level-headed and good at dealing with snakes.
Mobius scoffed. “I just can’t stand people who pretend to be weak.”
“Anyway, thank you for what you did.” Pearl sounded very sincere.
Mobius smiled. “Don’t mention it. My brother likes you, so I have to protect you.”
Pearl hesitated before saying, “He doesn’t really like me.”
Mobius rolled his eyes. “Pea, can’t you see it, or are you just pretending to be clueless? My brother
treats you exceptionally well. How could he not care about you? He even said he wanted to marry you.
It was the first time I heard him say that about anyone. If that doesn’t prove it, I don’t know what would.”
Mobius’s words knocked some sense into Pearl.
“Alright, it’s getting late. I’ll head home now. Think about it, Pea.” He stood up and said goodbye.

she slowly closed her eyes and drifted into a deep slumber.
In her dream, she could hear voices near her ears.
“Hurry up, she’s about to wake up. Be quiet!”
“I really wonder who this beautiful woman has offended. Why would someone try to kidnap her and
quietly kill her? Tsk tsk, what a waste.”
“What a waste? There’s no time to feel bad. The client promised to pay us 1 million dollars. With that
money, you can have any woman you want. Let’s get on with it. Tie her up!”
“Fine, let’s get this over with. Her skin is so smooth. Let me touch her…”
Pearl felt herself being lifted and was about to open her eyes to see who was talking.

Those people realized she was awake, so they rushed to grab a chloroform-soaked cloth and placed it
over her face.
She immediately slumped back, succumbing to a deep sleep once more.
