“What’s going on?”
Pearl found herself face to face with the person she least wanted to meet at the worst
possible moment–Richard.
She looked at him standing before her and offered an awkward smile. “Nothing much. My
car just ran out of gas. I’ve called for a tow truck, and I’ll grab a cab later.”
Richard frowned and said, “Do you need a ride?”
In the past, he would have insisted on taking her with him, but now he had to politely offer
assistance.
Pearl shook her head. “No, I can manage.”
Richard suddenly got excited. “Didn’t you say I’m your boyfriend? Shouldn’t I help if that’s

the title, so he felt obligated to do his best.
Pearl couldn’t help but feel the irony. He was offering help because of their relationship
status, not because of his love for her.

deep breath, she replied, “It’s fine. I can deal with this.”
Richard looked at her intently. “Alright, I’m heading off then.”
Pearl watched as he drove away and felt a sense of sadness welling up
inside her.
“Why are you standing here?”
Another familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.
Pearl turned around and knew her tears were going to be noticed.
Damian indeed saw it and rolled his eyes. “Wasn’t that your boyfriend? Why didn’t he help
you?”
Pearl smiled sadly. “Didn’t I already tell you yesterday? Why would he help me?”
“So why are you still with him? He doesn’t love you anymore, so continuing this just hurts
you,” Damian remarked, sounding like he was mocking her, but he still grabbed her arm
and pulled her into his car. “Leave your car here, and I’ll arrange for a tow truck to come
later.”
Pearl looked up in shock. “You’re attending the party too?”
“Yes, I’m a Scott,” Damian replied as he started the engine, resting one hand on the
steering wheel and the other on Pearl’s head. “Don’t be sad. If you can’t handle this, I’ll
take you back to Aflus with me.” Sadness flickered in his eyes as he saw her in this state.

They soon arrived at Cooper Residence. Pearl stepped out of the car and noticed a familiar
silhouette nearby, engaged in conversation with a lady.
It was easy to recognize Richard by his tall, straight posture. The person he was speaking
to was Jenny!

Pearl’s heart seemed to stop.
Damian leaned against the car, crossing his arms and watching the two engage in a
seemingly cheerful conversation that appeared somewhat scandalous. He couldn’t help
but smirk. “If I recall correctly, Jenny is Richard’s ex, isn’t she?”
Pearl nodded.
“It looks like your boyfriend is falling for someone else.” He pointed at the two of them
chatting animatedly.
Pearl forced a sad smile, her heart aching at the sight.
