“Do you know that Rick likes Pearl?” Abby continued when Hugo remained calm, “And Pearl likes Rick
too. It’ll be bad for us if they end up together.”
She was making a calculated bet, suspecting that Hugo had ulterior motives concerning Pearl.
“I’m not worried because Pearl is my girlfriend now,” Hugo responded, showing no interest in her
proposition.
“But I heard Pearl mention transferring someone to another hospital and breaking up with you. Are you
sure you can be with her forever?”
Hearing that, Hugo’s expression changed. “What did you hear?”
Finally gaining his attention, Abby pressed on. “I think you should consider working with me so we can

She wanted Richard, and Hugo wanted Pearl. Their collaboration would certainly be a win-win
situation.
As expected, Hugo flashed her a smile. “Okay, let’s work together… since you put it that way.”
Slowly, he extended his hand towards Abby, who chuckled and shook hands with him.
An uninvited guest arrived at Pearl’s ward the next morning.
Pearl couldn’t help but feel on edge as she observed the woman who bore a slight resemblance to
Abby.
“You are?”
“I’m Blair Dixon, Abby’s mother.” Looking elegant and noble, Blair sounded quite refined.
“May I know why you’re here?” Pearl inquired, her suspicions growing due to Blair’s confident and
smiling
demeanor.
She had a bad feeling about this, assuming that Blair must be a difficult person if she had raised a
daughter like Abby.
“Obviously, I’m here for Abby. I understand that she has caused you a lot of trouble due to her
infatuation with Richard. However, the Waldorf and Flores families are close friends, and Abby and
Richard have been childhood sweethearts. Everyone hopes to see them together. But now you’ve
entered the picture, and Richard doesn’t even care about Abby anymore…”
If Pearl couldn’t comprehend Blair’s intentions by now, she would be playing dumb.
“So, you want me to leave Richard so your daughter can be with him, right?” Pearl cut to the chase.
Blair smiled and replied, “I know you’re smart, but I won’t let you suffer either. How about this? Name

Any amount?
“Can I have the entire Flores Firms then?” Pearl countered, stating an exorbitant price that left Blair
stunned.
“Miss Leighton, I sincerely want to negotiate with you. You can name a reasonable price.” After
smoothing her hair, Blair continued, “After all, it’s for my daughter. I’m sure you can understand my
feelings as Abby’s
mother.”
Pearl remained calm as she explained, “But do you know that Richard had a first love? Even without
me, wouldn’t be with Abby. Don’t you think a relationship between Richard and Abby is impossible?”

Unexpectedly, Blair’s smile widened. “That was because Richard was young and inexperienced.
Nobody remembers their puppy love. Furthermore, Abby was studying abroad and didn’t have the
chance to spend time with Rick. It’s only natural for him to fall in love with someone else.”
“Are you determined to drive me away, then?”
