Mysterious Mr.Richard

Leave This City

After hanging up, Adriana's wicked voice still echoed in Pearl's ears. She was totally different from the

one whom Pearl had used to know.

Pearl soon received the address. It was a restaurant in the Westfield District.

Pearl stared at it for a while before driving towards it.

On the way to the restaurant, Pearl's arm, which was holding the steering wheel, could not loosen up

the whole time. Her back was also stiff. She just couldn't make herself relax.

Had she not left Kityall for seven years, she would never know that her best friend had feelings for

Richard. It was the only person in the university she had ever told about her relationship with Richard.

Even though Pearl knew Adriana and Richard started their relationship after she had broken up with

Richard, she still felt uncomfortable. She found it hard to accept the fact that her best friend had now

become Richard's girlfriend. To her, this was like cheating.

Pearl arrived at the restaurant after half an hour.

The place was very high-class. After telling the waiter her name, she was led up towards a private

room on the second floor.

Adriana had already been here.

She was dressed in yellow, looking through the window beside her table. Even from afar, she was

brimming with elegance as she slowly sipped from her cup of tea. Men were quick to pity women

whose faces were like hers.

The waiter pulled out a chair for Pearl, "This is the menu, Miss."

"Thanks." Pearl sat down.

Adriana, whose attention was on something outside the window, finally turned her head to face Pearl.

She put down her cup before greeting Pearl, "Oh, Pearl, you're here! Was there any traffic on your way

here just now?"

Pearl's face darkened. "Let's get to the point. What do you want?"

Adriana smiled, "Pearl! You're still that impatient."

"Well, as least you've changed a lot."

"No, I haven't. But if you really meant that, then it only shows that you've never known me well."

Adriana scanned through the menu, "Isn't this our first meal after you came back? Maybe you have

things that you would like to ask me?"

"Really? What do you think I want to ask you about?"

"Oh umm... How about the reason I'm with Richard?" Adriana shot a gaze at Pearl, "Tell me, Pearl. Do

you hate me?"

Pearl clenched her fists tightly, but her expression was still indifferent. "Why should I? Richard and I

have already broken up."

"Wonderful. I thought you hated me and wanted to revenge on me." Adriana smiled again.

"What do you mean by that?"

Adriana handed her phone to Pearl, which was displaying a photo. Pearl's face froze the moment she

saw it.

"Recognise it?" Adriana sounded gloomily.

Of course, Pearl recognised it the photo.

A week ago, She and Richard took her children to the zoo. The photo was taken at the Tiger World.

"I know you're gonna say it's nothing, and there was nothing happened between you two. It's just a

photo. Even if you two are not in love anymore, you're still classmates once before."

But does that mean that you can go to the zoo with someone else's fiancé?"

Pearl was speechless. For a moment, she didn't know how to explain.

She didn't ask Richard to go to the zoo with her, but Bonny. Since Bonny was her daughter, it was like

she asked for his company.

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again." Pearl said.

Adriana took back her phone and put on a magnanimous look. "Sure. I hope you'll never meet him

again."

Pearl frowned and said, "You're being overthinking. He's the president of Zellweger and I'm just a

doctor. Unless he stays at the hospital due to illness, otherwise, I won't be able to see him."

"Don't you think it's weird? How many times have you seen him after you came back, tell me?"

"Just... Coincidences."

"Oh, but I really hate coincidences, especially the ones like you said. Look, Aunt Helena also hopes

that you'll never contact Richard." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The truth was that Adriana just wanted a verbal confirmation from Pearl.

"Sure, I will never see him again."

"But you can't guarantee that he will do the same to you." Adriana's eyes were beaming with jealousy

as she said these.

"What the hell do you want?" Pearl became impatient.

"I want you to leave Kityall."

Each word was pronounced clearly.

Pearl's eyes narrowed. Without thinking too much, she replied, "Impossible."

She didn't come back because of Richard, so she would impossibly leave here.

"Pearl, nobody wanted you to come back, not even your sister or your father."

"It has nothing to do with you." Pearl looked determined and was ready to leave. "I'm not leaving Kityall.

I'll find another school for my children."

She was always tolerant, but it never meant mean she could be easily bullied.

"I'm doing this for your own good. What if your children and their classmates know their real identities?"

She put down her cell phone again as soon as she finished speaking.

Pearl stopped midway.

The sound of the video was not loud. The sound of the pattering rain came from the speaker, like a

summon from the abyss, which threw her into the rainy night seven years ago.

"I'm sure you don't want your kids to live in fear in their entire life. Am I right?"

Adriana's voice was as sweet and gentle as ever, but her sweet demeanor was a façade to hide her

hideous side.

"You did it?" Pearl heard those words escape her throat. She failed to contain her tone any longer.
