Chapter 356
Pearl turned and smiled. “Richard, the little b*tch wants to eat with us. What do you think? Should we
invite her along?”
Richard draped his jacket on Pearl and said indifferently, “I don’t like eating with a b*tch.”
After that, he hugged Pearl and led her away.
“Wait, Pear!!” Watching their backs, Jenny hoped to scratch Pearl’s face so the latter could not seduce
Richard.
At that moment, her phone began to ring. When she saw the caller ID flashing on her screen, the
hatred in her eyes gradually gave way to a smile.

“Before Jenny and I started dating, Hugo would always find excuses to spend time with her. But one
day, he came back looking gloomy and stopped going out alone with her after that,” Richard recounted,
vaguely recalling that Hugo might have had feelings for Jenny at some point.

“I guess Hugo’s frustrations and resentment have been building up over the years,” Pearl mused, about

Observing them chatting as they walked over, Pearl couldn’t help but think that Hugo and Jenny made
a good pair, disregarding Jenny’s ulterior motives regarding Richard.
“It’s been a while. Why don’t we all sit together?” Hugo suggested politely, reaching for a
vacant seat.
Jenny moved to sit down as well, but Pearl interjected, “Did we agree to that? Why are you joining us?”
She didn’t believe that Hugo wanted to get closer to them. Plus, she suspected he might be seeking
retribution for her having secretly taken his ginkgo.
To her surprise, Hugo paid no attention to her and instead looked past Jenny, smiling broadly. “Here
you are. Come and take a seat!”
Pearl followed Hugo’s gaze and saw the other three sons of the Waldorf family. What could have
brought them here?
Jenny’s discomfort seemed to dissipate instantly, and she smiled, saying, “The Waldorfs treated me
very well when I was dating Rick. Now that I’m back, I thought it would be nice to invite them for a get-

Sean, who had come because Jenny had been kind to him in the past, smiled and jokingly said, “I
guess there’s one non-Waldorf among us.”
Jenny had heard about their family issues, so she tried to mediate. “Hugo isn’t what
I invited you all here to mend the relationships among you, as brothers…”
