“Compete? Who would use their own marriage as a competition? Sean isn’t even a Waldorf
anymore. So, what’s the point of competing?” Pearl couldn’t figure out what Sean could
possibly gain from marrying her.
“Maybe he really likes you?” Wayne hesitated but still voiced the possibility.
“No
way. Sean probably hates me the most among the Waldorfs. Why would he like me?”
Sean’s derogatory remarks about her continued to linger in Pearl’s mind. There was no
logical reason for him to have affection for her.
As Pearl’s headache intensified, she began suspecting that Sean had ulterior motives. “Did
you find out anything else?”
“Yes, Mister Ezra has announced that his granddaughter will be marrying into the Cooper

“And what about Richard? Did he do or say anything?” She still wanted to know about
Richard, even if he no longer loved her.
“Yes, he initially booked a ticket to Bodgow but later canceled it.‘
Pearl rubbed her nose bridge, feeling that the situation was becoming increasingly
complicated. “Alright, arrange for someone to help me escape on my wedding day.”
Wayne suddenly chuckled. “Why don’t you just go through with the marriage? Sean is a
decent
looking guy, and Richard doesn’t have feelings for you anymore
Before Wayne could finish his thought, the call abruptly ended. Pearl was clearly angry
again. Pearl wasn’t one to sit idly by. After hanging up, someone showed up at her door.
“How have you been, Pearl? Are you settling in comfortably?”
Pearl frowned and felt annoyed as she looked at Ezra. She let out a lazy yawn. “I thought

Ezra looked kind and friendly, but Pearl was well aware that he had ulterior motives. “Oh?
Is this how you treat your beloved daughter? By locking her up and making her disappear
for years?”
Ezra’s face dropped and after some time, he smirked. “I guess you found out.”
“Yeah, my mom has been missing for years because you locked her up.”
Ezra’s expression changed, but his experience allowed him to quickly regain his

Pearl’s heart ached knowing the depth of her parents‘ love, but Ezra’s interference had
severed their connection. She glared at Ezra with a newfound hatred. “If that’s true, why
did you prevent me from seeing her?“.
Bera froze, then chuckled. “I didn’t. You could have just walked through the front door to
see her. Why did you have to scale the wall? Besides, your mom has some psychological
issues. She’s not always in the right state of mind, and I feared she might hurt you.”
Pearl’s heart ached even more, but her alarms were raised. Ezra might be lying “Let me
out. I want to see my mom.”
