Chapter 205

Hanzel didn't hide anything from his brother and blurted out his admission, "Yeah, I like Pearl."

"But you're aware of the relationship between Rick and Pearl. Do you want to compete against him?"

Hanzel snorted. "What's the big deal? Richard hasn't treated Pearl well, anyway."

Intrigued, Hugo probed further, "What do you mean?"

"You won't believe it, Hugo. He said he likes Pearl, yet he's involved with another woman. I saw him hugging her. How could a guy like that deserve Pearl's love?" Hanzel didn't even treat Richard as his brother now and felt like scolding the latter.

Hugo, meanwhile, noted the information quietly. After gauging Hanzel's feelings, he slowly rose from his seat. "Alright, it's getting late. Don't take it too seriously. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."

But Hanzel scoffed. "Even if it's a misunderstanding, I won't let go this time."

Chuckling, Hugo turned and left. Things have gotten interesting now.

If Hanzel decided to compete with Richard for Pearl's affection, Hugo believed he didn't need to do much himself. Hanzel's actions alone would make things difficult for Richard.

As long as Richard lost, Hugo felt that Pearl would have no choice but to choose him. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As for Hanzel... Hugo had never considered him a true rival.

Pearl went out to meet Wayne because she wanted to prescribe new medicine for Hanzel. Hanzel had almost recovered, and he just needed one last medicine.

While driving by the moat, Pearl heard cries for help coming from a crowd that had gathered there, blocking the road.

Curious, Pearl got out of her car to investigate. She approached someone in the crowd and inquired, "What happened?" "Someone fell into the water! It's a young girl, around seven or eight years old, and it's been quite some time now," replied a woman in her forties, her gaze fixed anxiously on the water.

Frowning, Pearl asked, "Why hasn't anyone tried to save her if it's been a while?"

"Well, this moat is quite deep. Even a skilled swimmer can't guarantee their safety," explained the woman.

Upon seeing the girl struggling in the water, Pearl made a snap decision and jumped into the water herself.

The woman suddenly grabbed Pearl's arm. "Don't do it, miss. You might get yourself killed!"

With a reassuring smile, Pearl responded, "Don't worry. I'll be fine."

Suddenly, the girl in the water ceased her struggling and slowly began to sink below the surface.

A hushed murmur swept through the crowd.

"Why did she stop moving?"

“I I guess she's exhausted herself. Oh, what a tragedy."

"Why isn't anyone saving her?"

"You go! I don't know how to swim."

Pearl realized that the girl must have experienced a leg cramp or exhaustion. If she didn't act quickly, the girl would die.

With determination, Pearl removed her coat and jumped into the water.

Her daring action brought a collective gasp from the crowd on the bridge. "Someone... just jumped into the water!"
