NovelEnglishEzra watched Pearl's expression with surprise. "Even with everything happening, do you still wish to be with Richard? | recall he's set to marry the girl
from the Jesselton family. It's happening in a couple of days."
"Yes, their wedding is planned, but no one knows if they'll go through with it," Pearl replied nonchalantly.
Ezra's lips trembled in anger. "I advise you not to provoke the Waldorfs again.”
Pearl met his gaze with a cold stare, her icy demeanor unsettling Ezra. "lI won't provoke them, but | will hold them accountable," she declared boldly,
revealing her intentions.

Ezra couldn't figure out how she was going to do that.
"What's the direct link to my mother's death?"
Pearl's question enlightened Ezra. It was Hugo!
He had entrusted Beah's care to Hugo, believing the latter could cure her. But Hugo failed, and Beah died. Of course, Hugo must be blamed.
Ezra's fury surged. Amidst his grief, he now desired retribution against Hugo.
"Pearl, | support you in this matter.” Slowly, Ezra closed his eyes, concealing his deep-seated resentment.
"I don't need your support. | only ask that you don't sabotage my efforts covertly,” Pearl responded firmly.
"No, | must support you because you're fighting for your mother's justice,” Ezra insisted, retrieving a stack of contracts from beneath his pillow and
handing them to Pearl.
"I've prepared these in advance. You'll receive fifty-one percent of the family company's shares. The remaining forty-nine percent will be split between
Blake and Felix. Sshares are held by other shareholders. Now, I'll transfer all my shares to you. You'll becthe majority shareholder of the
Jordan Group. No one will dare to challenge you," Ezra explained solemnly.
Pearl was shocked by Ezra's unexpected gesture. It was as if he had announced that she was the heir of the Jordan family.

"Did you prepare this long ago?" she asked, incredulous. After all, Ezra had placed all his wealth on someone he didn't even like, a move that
seemed out of character for a business mogul who had faced many hardships.
"Yes, ever since you returned with your mother's body,” Ezra admitted, a tear escaping as he closed his eyes. "Pearl, you're a good kid. I've always
known that.”
Ezra's words caught Pearl off guard, making her feel complex emotions as she saw his vulnerable side.
"Thank you, Grandfather," she said softly.
Ezra, startled by her address, opened his eyes wide. "What did you call me?"
"Grandfather," Pearl repeated, her tone sincere.
