Chapter 810

Hearing her mother's nleft Pearl stunned. She took a deep breath, trying to keep her impatience in check despite Hugo's threats. "What do you

know? Tell me."

Hugo continued to play coy, clearly not eager to reveal any information. "I've told you already. If you want to know, cmeetin person.”

Naturally, Pearl didn't trust his words because he had a reputation for deceit. "I'll just assyou're lying then." Without hesitation, she ended the

call, starting an internal countdown.

Pearl smirked. "Tell me."

Hugo, however, wasn't about to make it easy. He countered with a question, "Why are you pushingaway? | haven't done anything.”

They had gotten along well abroad, and it seemed like they were growing closer. Pearl, however, had beccold and distant when she returned to

her homeland, treating Hugo as an enemy. Had she been pretending all along when they were abroad?

Pearl remained unfazed. "You used my mother to manipulatewhen we were abroad, so | played along. But now, my mother has disappeared.

Why should | be on good terms with you?"

Naturally, her behavior abroad had been genuine. However, Pearl couldn't stand Hugo. She suspected that her mother had disappeared because she

knew that Hugo was threatening her. Therefore, she couldn't forgive him for that.

Her words stunned Hugo, but he eventually smiled. "Alright, | understand now."

Pearl becconfused. "What?"

"Since finding Aunt Beah is the key to strengthening our relationship, | will find her," Hugo declared confidently.

"I'll believe it when | see it." Pearl shrugged helplessly. But at that moment, she realized the truth. "So, you were lying about knowing my mother's

whereabouts, weren't you?"

As expected, she had almost fallen into Hugo's trap.

Hugo was taken aback by Pearl's shrewdness. It was difficult to deceive her.

"Alright, I'm hanging up now. Goodbye." Pearl felt relieved. She couldn't stand people who lied to her and had lost interest in talking to him.

After ending the call, Pearl sat on the couch, deep in thought.

The rumors surrounding Silas and Estrella only grew more intense and could not be suppressed.

Despite Pearl instructing her PR team to contain it, someone seemed to be secretly adding fuel to the fire, making their efforts futile. Furthermore,

their high school romance was exposed in detail, and it had beca heartwarming and trending story.

Pearl was surprised as she read the touching memoir.
