Chapter 1092
Life was returning to normal, but there was a sudden emptiness without the constant . However, it seemed like this wasn't the end of it.
Esther showed up at Waldorf Residence, grabbed Pearl's arm, and shook it. "Pearl, tellwhat really happened back then." Esther hadn't been there and regretted not knowing what had happened that day. So, she took tto find out how the villain, Hugo, met his end.
Pearl's mouth twitched, but seeing Esther's eager eyes, she couldn't say no. "He killed himself." "What?" Esther gasped. "A guy like him really did that? I thought he'd go out guns blazing, taking everyone with him." ...Well, that did fit Hugo's style.
"I actually thought he had a thing for you before. I never expected him to pull a stunt like that." Esther looked at the scar on Pearl's face, her heart aching. "I can't believe he cut you with a knife." Pearl didn't know why Hugo had suddenly lost control. Deep down, she didn't think he would hurt her. But she did see confusion and guilt in his eyes.
"Alright, it's all over now." Although Hugo was a jerk, his death left a lingering discomfort. Even Richard was depressed for a while.
"What about Silas?" Esther couldn't understand why Silas, who was clearly at odds with Hugo, suddenly cto testify against him.
Pearl looked at her and slowly began to explain.
Silas... that was from a while back.
The day before Silas cto talk things over, he suddenly reached out to her. Silas was drunk and asked her to meet in a bar. Pearl was going to turn him down, but Silas said if she showed up, he would telther everything about Hugo. "I know you guys wanted to take down Hugo. If you want to, you must need my evidence." Silas's words were impossible to resist. Pearl drove to the bar and saw him passed out on the table. She went up and nudged him, but the next second, her wrist was grabbed from behind.
The man lifted his head, looking at her with a smile. "Gotcha. I didn't drink that much." Pearl frowned, trying to pull her hand away, but he held on tight. "I didn't chere to play games with you." Silas suddenly lowered his head in frustration and smiled at her. "Is that how you see me? Not a single good impression?" "Silas, what's wrong with you?" Silas stumbled to his feet, his smile fading. "I'm fine. I just can't bring myself to hate you. Why are you so gentle with me?" She wouldn't have cto the bar tonight when she could have rejected him without a second thought, not believing a word he said. Then he might have been able to stop thinking about her. Pearl was at a loss for words. "I've turned you down, but you didn't acceptat." She sighed. "Silas, I'm married. I've never led you on, so there's no reason for you to be upset withlike this."
