Chapter 237
Pearl grabbed her phone and called Richard. “Richard, you need to come home right now. Mister
Dustan is in trouble!”
“What happened?” Richard immediately turned his car around and drove back to Waldorf Residence.
When he rushed home and saw Dustan lying on the ground, his lips stained with blood, with a worried
Pearl nearby, het frowned. “What’s going on?”
Pearl explained, “Hugo learned that he isn’t a Waldorf and mistakenly believes Mister Dustan is the

“Mister Dustan asked him to come home, but Hugo said those hurtful things and made Mister Dustan
furious,” she added.

true nature would eventually come to light.”
But he didn’t dwell too much on Hugo’s actions at the moment. His primary concern was his father’s
well-being.
After driving Dustan to the hospital, both Pearl and Richard sat by his hospital bed, their emotions a
mix of complex feelings.
“I don’t know what Hugo’s planning, but I suspect he might seek revenge with Lawson Enterprises’
support. We’ll have to wait and see. If they try to harm the company, we’ll be ready for it,” Pearl calmly
analyzed the situation.
Her calm assessment contrasted with Richard’s troubled expression. She could sense his unspoken
worries.
“Are you sad, Richard? Hugo was your brother, and now he’s turned against you all. I’m sure this must
be really tough for you.

Sighing, Pearl continued, “You can’t blame yourself for this, Richard. It was Hugo who failed to see the
bigger picture and chose this path. It’s not your fault, and you shouldn’t burden yourself with the
responsibility of being his older brother.”
Richard looked at Pearl, his emotions overwhelming him. Suddenly, he took a step closer and

After some time, Richard had already regained his composure.
“How is Dad’s doing, Rick?” Both Hanzel and Mobius rushed to the hospital and were worried by the
sight of the unconscious
Dustan in bed.
As they hurriedly entered the room, Pearl quickly released her embrace from Richard, her heart racing.
“He’s fainted out of anger, but he’s okay. Don’t worry,” Pearl assured them.
“Ramona informed me about the situation at home while I was on my way here,” Mobius said, his
temper flaring as he inwardly cursed Hugo upon hearing the news. “What an ungrateful b*stard! Just let
him go. Don’t worry about him!”
Hanzel, on the other hand, remained composed but cold. “It’s pointless to mourn for someone like him
since he chose to cut ties with us.”
