Chapter 371

1/2

Pearl couldn’t ignore the fact that Dustan’s reaction spoke volumes. It was evident that he didn’t want

her to be with Richard, but no one had explained why. It felt like they were conspiring against her in

silence.

“I’m done so I’m going to sleep,” Pearl casually said as she stood up and headed to her room.

“Pea, what’s going on?” Mobius noticed she hadn’t touched her food.

“Stay out of it, kid,” Sean said. He sensed that something was amiss, though he didn’t fully understand

the conflict between them. Based on their reactions, it seemed like Pearl had been stripped of her right

to be Richard’s wife. However, he didn’t want to get involved in the family drama

In her room, Pearl sat on the bed, lost in thought, unable to comprehend why she was being treated

this way.

Suddenly, her phone rang-it was Wayne calling.

“Yes?” she answered.

Wayne, always perceptive, immediately noticed something was wrong. “What’s up, Pea? You sound

tired.”

Pearl frowned hearing the noise coming from Wayne’s end. “You’re at a bar?”

“Yes, the usual, Dark Bar. Come over.”

Pearl had initially planned to clean up and go to bed, but Wayne’s enthusiastic invitation piqued her

interest and dispelled her sleepiness.

She went downstairs and drove to the Dark bar.

The bar was lively and noisy as usual. Pearl headed to their usual booth and found Wayne sitting

alone, holding a drink.

She grabbed a bottle of beer and downed it in one go. “What’s up? You look even sadder than I am.”

Wayne almost choked on his drink. “No, I’m not. What’s going on with you? Did Richard allow you to go

out for drinks at this hour?”

“Don’t mention him!” The mere mention of Richard’s name made Pearl gulp down more alcohol.

Wayne set down his bottle and asked, “What happened? Did you two have a fight?”

Pearl shook her head. “We didn’t argue, but it looks like we’re headed for a breakup.”

“A breakup? Did you run into a problem you couldn’t solve and had to break up?” Wayne’s expression

was exaggerated.

“I don’t know.” Pearl leaned back on the seat, lacking her usual energy.

Suddenly, Wayne recalled something he had heard and couldn’t resist asking, “Is it because of Jenny?

I saw it in the news. She’s Richard’s first love, right?”

Pearl’s lips twitched. “I don’t think so.” She trusted Richard. Even if he were holding Jenny’s hand, she

would still trust him. Wayne rolled his eyes and said, “You don’t understand men at all. They never

forget their first loves.”

“Oh?” Pearl became intrigued. “Are you saying you’ve never forgotten your first love either?”

“Of course…”

“Ah!” Suddenly, a commotion broke out at the neighboring table, and one of the girls entertaining

guests was pushed to the floor

The person who did that scolded her, “I can’t touch you at a bar? Then what are you here for? Who do

you think you pure virgin?”

The girl started crying, and her maid costume appeared wrinkled, giving her an unkempt appearance.

grabbed the girl’s hand.

Despite her tears, the girl tried to resist, kicking and punching, but they were much stronger, and she

couldn’t break free.

Pearl was prepared to intervene, but Wayne acted first. He walked over and kicked the man who was

holding the girl. “Who do you think you are, causing trouble in Dark?”

The man, realizing he was going to be on the losing end, yelled, “Who do you think you are? How dare

you hit my men!” He glared at Wayne but didn’t dare to escalate the situation. “I’ll remember this!”

“Get out of here!” Pearl gave his behind a kick. The man quickly escaped from the place, not wanting

any more pain.

Trembling, the girl managed to sit down on a nearby couch and expressed her gratitude. “Thank you. I

might have been seriously hurt if it weren’t for you…”

Although the girl wasn’t exceptionally beautiful, her innocent appearance made her an easy target for

vile men.

Wayne, who had always been nonchalant, remained silent. Pearl noticed that his eyes were filled with

emotion and appeared watery.

“Wayne?” The girl froze when she lifted her head.

Wayne nodded and smiled politely. “Lynette, it’s me.”

“What are you doing here? What a coincidence. You’re back” Lynette DeFeo was taken aback, her

excitement obvious.

“Yes, I returned not too long ago. Why are you…” Wayne didn’t complete his sentence, but it was clear

that he was referring to her job.

Lynette knew her job was not highly regarded, so she stopped smiling.

Pearl guessed who Lynette was and feared that Wayne might say something that would frighten her

away, so she intervened, Miss Lynette, I can lend you some money if you need it, and you don’t have to

repay me.”

As women, they both understood that Lynette was likely in this line of work because of financial

difficulties.

“Really?” Lynette paused. Her eyes briefly lit up before dimming again. “It’s alright, I can manage on my

own.”

Pearl could sense that Lynette was a resilient girl with a gentle disposition, which likely contributed to

Wayne’s attraction to

her.

So, she suggested, “You don’t have to work here. How about becoming a hostess? It’s not as bad as

entertaining the guests, and you can earn a bit more.”

Working as a hostess wouldn’t bring in a substantial income, but it would certainly be better than her

current situation. “Alright, thank you!” Lynette was overjoyed at the prospect of earning money without

having to entertain guests, so she readily agreed.

Recognizing that Wayne and Lynette had a lot to catch up on, Pearl said, “I’ll go for a walk. You two can

chat.”

Wayne nodded gratefully, and Pearl left them to continue their conversation. She walked over to the bar

and ordered a drink while waiting

As she sipped her cocktail, she spotted Richard sitting in a booth not too far away, with Jenny sitting

very close to him.

“Why do they have to be here?!” Pearl was enraged. Slowly, she made her way over to them after

picking up her freshly mixed drink
