Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 47

The room was quiet after the door closed.

Pearl took out her phone and saw two missing calls. Looking at the time of the missed calls. It seemed that the time was when she met Mrs. Zellweger, and the mobile phone was silent then.

She called back, and he picked up almost immediately.

As soon as the call went through, there came a careless voice of Ethan from the other end. "Pearl, have you been too busy after returning to work? Why didn't you answer my phone earlier?" 

"I was busy meeting someone, so I didn't see your calls."

"Who?"

"Why are you asking? Why are you calling me?"

"Do you think I want to call you? I'm watching a movie with my girlfriend this afternoon. Then I heard that you were in trouble again, so I tried to help you even lefting my girlfriend behind.

Pearl was stunned.

"Alex called me and said you were pulled away by a woman."

Pearl finally understood what he was talking about , after hearing this.

"What happened?" Ethan's voice turned more serious than usual. "It was Richard's mother, wasn't it?"

"Is she the only woman who could pull me away?"

"You're still in the mood to joke with me. It seems you are fine." Ethan teased. "What? It's been seven years. You have nothing to do with Richard now. Didn't you spalsh her water for revenge? Splash that b*tch!"      

Pearl was pretty upset at first, but she could not help but laugh when she heard this. "Come on. Could you be a little more serious? Did you really think I would do that?"

"So funny! Do you know how many times you told me you wanted to do that after you were drunk? You even made me swore that if you got the chance, I'd have to hand the cup to you and make sure it's full so that you can throw it in her face..."    

Pearl's taste and her drinking capacity for alcohol were equally terrible. Few people had seen her drunk before. When she was abroad, the only one she believed herself to drink with was Ethan.     

Therefore, she knew Ethan was telling the truth.

"Let's do this after I'm back, okay?"

"OK," Pearl turned over in bed, looked at the ceiling and promised, "I'm not afraid of anything, but you should know that Mrs. Zellweger is a vengeful person. I'm afraid even your company will be dragged down at that time."

"What am I afraid of? My sister is watching over my company. Do you think she'd dare?"  

"Those who don't do it are cowards."

"Definitely cowards."

The both of them went back and forth, spouting nonsense. The dark cloud in her head dissipated gradually.  

Suddenly, Ethan suddenly changed the topic. "You said that Mrs. Zellweger was vengeful. Seeing how she still hates you for what happened seven years ago, why she just splashed water at you? It seems like Richard has a strong voice at home."  

Ethan reminded Pearl of something.  After thinking of something, her heart suddenly clicked and her face changed.

Ethan did not hear a response. "Pearl? Are you there?"

Pearl came to her senses, "I thought of something suddenly."

"What?"

"At that time, you said if I wanted to find who set me up, I'd just need to think of the person who would benefit the most, right?"  

"Yes."
