Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 43

A black car exited Yoreast Hills Garden and galloped on the spacious roads.

The rearview mirror reflected the face of an elegant and gentle woman.

Thinking of the reaction of Helena, Adriana couldn't help but lift her lips. A cold look flashed in her eyes. She didn't need to make a move to do many things. In fact, others would solve it for her. She knew that Richard could not forget Pearl, and she couldn't intervene at this time.

For so many years, Pearl had been a huge scar in Richard's heart. So Adriana was afraid to touch it. She had to be very cautious with every step she took, and finally she made it so far.   

The phone rang, and she came back to her senses.

"Hello?"

...

"DNA test?" Adriana frowned, inexplicably nervous. "Who did Richard ask to do this?"

"Blake." A female voice came from the other side.

Adriana's face darkened after hearing that.

Blake was Richard's personal assistant, and he had been with Richard for nearly seven years. Blake had stayed with him since Richard returned to Zellweger Group. Blake did a really good job, and he was Richard's right-hand man.  

"Adriana, what should we do? What if the kids are Mr. Zellweger's..."

"No way." Before she could finish, Adriana interrupted her in an anger, "You believed those rumors?"

She went silent. After a short pause, that person asked cautiously, "Adriana, I'm sorry, Probably I was overthinking. Since you're sure that it has nothing to do with Mr. Zellweger, should I just leave it?"

Adriana pursed her lips, and her face became pale.

After that incident, maybe Pearl did not even know who the father of her children was. But what if something happened? Just in case.

......

It was afternoon, and the filming was still ongoing at Jackson Hospital, in order to catch up with the progress.

Standing behind the spotlight, Pearl bent over to massage her sore legs.

"You tired, Dr. Yonng?" Lan,the script supervisor, suggested worriedly, "Take a sit."

"It's fine. I've been sitting the whole morning, and I have a backache. It'll be better to stand for a while." Pearl replied with a smile.

Since she joined the crew in the morning, the shooting had lasted for five hours. There was no sign of them stopping for a break. She watched as Evelina got into a fight with the 'patient' again and again, and some of Evelina's falls were frightening.

Filming is much harder than she thought. Evelina is dedicated, which made her admire.

"Cut. Evelina, this take was good. Take a break, and let's do it one more time."

Pearl had heard the same phrase the whole morning. The Director complimented Evelina, but he would ask for another take. In fact, he was not satisfied with it.

Pearl and Evelina grew up together. Others may have no feelings about it, but Pearl felt not good. So she went over and handed Evelina a bottle of water.   

Evelina just sat down to massage her legs. When she saw the water held in front of her, she supposed to take it. But, her face became dark when she saw Pearl. "What do you want to do?"

"No poison." Pearl opened the bottle and handed it to Evelina again. "Are you scared?" 

Evelina took the fruit tea from her assistant and glanced at her coldly, "Who knows if it's poisoned?Its said that doctor has countless ways to kill people secretly. I won't drink it. Keep it for yourself."

Pearl felt angry and funny. She crossed her arms and chuckled, "What would I gain from killing you? Evelina, do you have a  persecutory delusion?"   

 "If I die, you can inherit the Yonng family."

"Then you can rest assured. I have no interests in family businesses. The Yonng family is yours."
