This condition might have been tough for Pearl before, but since Richard was going to marry Winona, continuing to contact him didn't sound like a
smart thing to do.
More interested in the information, Pearl immediately agreed. "Sure, | accept that. Can you tellnow?"
Winona was a little shocked. "Even though you've broken up, don't you have any feelings left for him at all? You didn't even hesitate. You didn't even
hesitate."
"Why would | hesitate?"
Wimoma looked puzzled before shaking her head. "I really can't understand how you can be so cold."
"Alright, enough of this. Tellthe information."

"Sure, but not here. Cwith me, and I'll show you," Winona said, gesturing for Pearl to follow.
"Why didn't you bring it over instead?" Pearl asked, confused.
Winona showed her distrust. "How would | know you wouldn't just snatch it away?"
They walked to the parking area, and Pearl noticed Winona hadn't driven herself. "You didn't drive? Isn't your driver supposed to pick you up?"
Winona turned around with a smile. "Of course, but he's not pickingup. You're coming too!"
Suddenly, a few burly men appeared, setting off alarm bells for Pearl.
"What is this?" Pearl demanded, eyeing the men warily.
Winan clapped her hands, and one of the men cover and asked, "I'm ready. When do we start?"
"Now. Why are you still standing there?" Winona replied.
The man rubbed his hands together and tried to grab Pearl, but Pearl quickly turned, delivering a kick to his head. He cried out in pain.
"I'm sure you know who | am," Pearl warned, glaring at the group. "Take one more step, and you'll end up like him.
The men, startled by Pearl's ferocity, hesitated. They hadn't expected her to fight back so fiercely. One of them said, "She looks really strong. Should
we try plan b?"
Winona, losing patience, urged them on. "You're not getting paid unless you grab her!"
The men, emboldened by Winona's words, moved to apprehend Pearl.

"I'm not going to hold back then." Pearl rolled up her sleeves, ready for a fight.
After a few moves, Pearl managed to take down the men. Winona, underestimating Pearl's strength, cursed under her breath as she watched her
henchmen writhe in pain.
However, Pearl's expression quickly shifted as she turned her icy gaze to Winona.
"Why are you staring at me?" Winona took a few steps back, unnerved by Pearl's cold eyes.
"Why? I'll take you down just like | did them," Pearl threatened, moving forward. But before she could act, one of the men tackled her from behind.
"I got her, Miss Winona!" the man exclaimed triumphantly.
Winona, seizing the opportunity, pulled out a bottle of spray and covered her nose, then aimed it at Pearl.
