Chapter 558
Pearl had to stay at the Cooper Residence for the time being. It coincided with Alan
Cooper’s birthday, Drew’s grandfather.
Reese had been preoccupied with organizing the birthday party, which temporarily put the
matter of obtaining Pearl’s passport on hold. Luckily, the passport application process was
fast, so Pearl wasn’t in a hurry.
One afternoon, Drew approached the door of Pearl’s room and knocked.
Inside her room, Pearl was trying to contact the Waldorf family using her laptop. She had
been unable to reach Richard’s phone, and she didn’t have any other contact numbers to
try.
Richard had never changed his phone number; and it troubled Pearl that she couldn’t
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreach. him. Suddenly, a terrifying thought crossed her mind had Richard jumped into the
sea with her?
No, Richard was injured. If he had jumped into the sea, he would likely be dead.
Lost in her worrisome thoughts, she didn’t hear Drew’s repeated knocks. Finally, Drew
entered her room with a large box in his hands.
Pearl snapped out of her thoughts and, noticing the box, asked with confusion, “What’s in
it?”
“This is the gown my dad prepared for you. You’re going to Grandpa’s birthday party with
us tonight,” Drew explained.
Pearl frowned. “But I’m not your family. It doesn’t seem right for me to attend the party.”
“Why not? You’re my dad’s goddaughter.”
Pearl didn’t have an issue with the party itself; she just wasn’t in the mood for it. Her
primary concern was Richard’s safety, and not knowing his whereabouts was causing her
immense worry.
Drew, perceptive as ever, raised an eyebrow. “You seem to be in a bad mood. Are you
thinking about Richard, your fiance?”
Pearl’s eyes lit up with hope. “Do you have news about him?”
Drew nodded. “I had a feeling you’d want to know about him, so I had some people look
into it two days ago. I found out today that he jumped into the sea but was rescued by a
fisherman. He’s been in the hospital but is now out of danger.”
Pearl’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that Richard had jumped into the sea. However,
it was the best news she could hope for–Richard was out of danger.
Relief filled her, and she finally relaxed her tightly knitted brows. “Thank you for letting me
know. We can return in two days. Maybe I should start thinking about what makeup to

Drew handed her the gift box and left, his hands in his pockets.
Alone in the room, Pearl experienced a whirlwind of emotions. She had no other choice but
to take things one step at a time.

When she opened the box, she discovered a white lacy gown along with a pearl necklace
and a pair of matching diamond rings. It gave off a youthful vibe that wasn’t her usual
style.
She gritted her teeth and put on the gown, despite her reservations.
Drew had been waiting at the door, and when he saw Pearl emerge, he couldn’t help but
be captivated.
The white lace gown gave Pearl an ethereal quality, and the pearl necklace added a gentle
and charming touch, enhancing her flawless makeup. She appeared like a pure and lovely
fairy, leaving others breathless in admiration.
