Chapter 627
Hearing that voice, Pearl looked at Beah awkwardly, her voice betraying her guilt. “Nothing. I’m just
thinking about finding a job.”
Beah smiled, “That’s great! It’s about time you started working. We can’t have Doctor Hugo paying for
all of us,”
Hugo chimed in gently, “It’s fine, I can afford it.”
Beah, however, felt embarrassed, “No, that won’t do. Even though your family is wealthy, we can’t let
Pea be a freeloader.”
‘Freeloader?‘
Pearl was even more determined to start working, “I’ve decided that I’m going to work, so starting
tomorrow, I’ll only come back once a week.”
Hugo calmly suggested, “You can work at my company.” He knew exactly where she wanted to work
and made the counteroffer, clearly going against her decision.
Pearl just wanted to punch him.
Beah nodded in agreement when she heard Hugo’s suggestion. “If you work there, at least someone
can look out for you, and I won’t worry as much.” Then she realized something and asked, “But Doctor
Hugo, is your company in the medical field?”
“Yes,”
Beah smiled, pleasantly surprised. “Perfect. Pea has medical training so she’ll fit right in.”
“Mom, I’m not going to work there.” Pearl could only sigh. “I’ve found the place I want to work at, and I’ll
start tomorrow.”
“The place you’re talking about is the red light district, isn’t it?” Hugo knew he couldn’t stop her, so he
stated it openly for Beah to decide.
Beah nearly fainted when she heard that Pearl planned to work in the red light district.
Observing her mother’s reaction, Pearl reached out to help her sit down, but Beah pulled her arms
away, saying, “How could you even think of working in a place like that?” She leaned against the railing
to steady herself. “I know you want to work, but I also believe you wouldn’t do something so foolish.
Please, tell me why you want to go there.”
Pearl took a deep breath. “I didn’t want to worry you so I kept it a secret. But I found out we need a
specific medication that can only be obtained from the private vault of the owner of the red light district.”
“So, you plan to take the risk and steal it?” Hugo couldn’t accept that idea and clenched his fists,
glaring fiercely at Pearl
“It would be great if we could purchase it, but if not, we’ll have to try this.” Pearl gave Hugo a look,
urging him to calm down, and continued, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything reckless. I’ll protect myself.”
Despite her reassurance, the others still looked at her skeptically.
Gigi was touched by Pearl’s willingness to help but knew this wasn’t a minor matter. “Pea, I don’t need
to have my face treated. Looks don’t matter that much, as long as you still like me, right?”
Pearl glared at her. “You were only hurt because of me, so if I can’t help you fully recover, I’ll never
forgive myself.”
Beah knew Pearl was stubborn and couldn’t be easily dissuaded. Hugo, on the other hand, continued
to scrutinize her with his eyes.
In Enswood, Richard was working in his office, but his thoughts were elsewhere.
