Chapter 944

The three-day deadline quickly passed, and on the morning of the third day, Pearl received an anonymous text.

[How's it going? If you've made up your mind, let's meet at the usual spot at 5:30 this afternoon.]

It was clear that this was Mister Howard's final request.

Since it was the weekend, Pearl decided to sleep in. She tossed her phone aside and slept until the afternoon.

Though Pearl hesitated, it seemed like the best course of action for now. She wasn't one to initiate such actions, usually only

retaliating when provoked.

"Isn't this what love is about? To do anything for someone?" Richard pinched her cheek affectionately and sighed. "Don't worry.
