Chapter 24 They have nothing to do with you.
"Thank you."
Although Pearl thanked Richard, he had no intention to let her go. Pearl gritted her teeth and struggled.
Then a cold voice rang her ears, "There are so many people here. Are you planning to tell everyone
the truth that I'm not your fiance?"
She froze and stopped.
Gossip was a terrible thing, especially when it came from your relatives and friends. Earlier, she felt like
a century had passed when everyone was criticizing her, and she never wanted to experience it again.
The stalemate lasted for a while before Richard let go of her.
Pearl was taken aback. But she still whispered, "Thank you."
"So you're not planning to explain about the kids?"
Pearl's heart skipped a beat. But she forced herself to sound calm. "Explain what?"
Richard studied her carefully and said word by word, "Brandon said that I'm his father."
Pearl's pupils suddenly contracted. She took a step back.
"What are you afraid of?" Richard's eyes were fixated on her.
"They have nothing to do with you." Pearl blurted out with a lower voice. She tried to sound
convincing. However, it came out clumsy and awkward with her pale face.
The air went still. The hall was noisy and the music was loud, but she still could hear her heartbeat.
Richard wanted to question her more but an old man's voice suddenly joined, "Mr. Zellweger."
It was Pearl's father.
After chatting with the relatives, Anthony finally had time to meet this 'son-in-law' who appeared out of
the blue.
Richard's dark eyes became composed again. "Uncle."
"You and Pearl," Anthony started hesitantly. He checked around with the corner of his eyes and made
sure that there were no other relatives except his family members around. Then he continued, "Are you
really Pearl's boyfriend?"
"Dad." Pearl chipped in hurriedly from Richard's back, "Later I'll explain this..."
"Yes." Richard firmly replied, which made Pearl swallow her words.
Evelina's face changed. She stepped forward and retorted swiftly, "How could it be possible? Mr.
Zellweger, as I know your fiancee is..."
"Miss Yonng!" Before Evelina could finish her sentence, Richard interrupted her. He said coldly, "You're
a public figure. Please be careful with your behavior. Destroying your sister's reputation won't do any
good to the Yonng family."
Destroying her reputation? But she's lying. In fact, she's the real one who has destroyed our family's
reputation."
"Is that true?" Richard stared at Evelina coldly and asked, "The who brought the kids here?"
It was a short question, but yes, it directly hit the mark..
That was right. Who did this?
Pearl suddenly realized this problem. No matter how bold the twins were, it was impossible for them to NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
attend the birthday party themselves. So there must be someone who has brought them here.
Evelina's face froze. She avoided Richard's gaze with a guilty conscience.
Richard concluded harshly, "I asked Brandon and he said that his aunt take him here."
His aunt?
Pearl looked to her sister. Even though she had guessed it, she was still very disappointed when the
truth was out for Evelina was her true sister.
Hearing this, Anthony's face darkened.
