Mysterious Mr.Richard

Chapter 50 A Wise Man Knew When To Stop

Pearl knew that Richard was the eldest son of the Zellweger Group, although he was very low-key.

They'd been studying in the same high school, no one in the school knew about it. But, her first

interaction with Richard had something to do with his family.

Up to now, she still remembered that it was during their school's sports day. Richard fell and injured his

knee during the relay race. That day, she was resting in the infirmary because of her physiological

period.

Behind the curtains, she was awakened by an argument.

"His knee is injured, and it's even bleeding. What's wrong with the school? Can't you even guarantee

his safety? I'm going to talk to your headmaster."

The young woman's voice was not loud, but full of anger.

However, the boy was very calm, even a little indifferent. "It's just a small injury. If you look for the

headmaster, The boy was calm and even indifferent. "It's just a little injury. If you talk to the

headmaster, I'll drop out immediately."

Hearing the word "drop out", Pearl became interested and pricked up her ears to continue

eavesdropping.

So arrogant!

Back when they were young, those students who were rebellious towards their parents and teachers

were worshipped by the other students.

The young woman was mad. "Richard, what do you mean? Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, I'm telling you the consequences. You have the right to do so, and I have the freedom

to drop out."

"Well, I'll send you abroad to study if you drop out."

"I won't go abroad."

"You..." The young woman was evry mad. "Fine, you want to revolt? Okay, up to you. You can do

whatever you want, so go fool around! I'll see what you can do in the end!"

With these words, the door of the infirmary slammed shut and the young woman left.

After a long time, a boy's voice came from outside. "When were you planning to stop eavesdropping?"

Pearl's heart clicked. She held her breath, kept silent, and pretended to sleep.

The curtain was pulled open from the outside. When the light came in, she subconsciously raised her

hand to block her eyes and saw a figure between her fingers.

Under the light, she saw a clean and young face covered by a layer of golden sunlight.

"I'm sorry, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. I was really sleeping before." Pearl was stunned for a long

time before she remembered to apologize.

"It's fine." The boy's temper was not as intimidating as it was a moment ago. When he introduced

himself to her, he was totally different. "I'm in Class 1A. My name's Richard Zellweger."

"Pearl... Yonng." She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him. "I'm from Class 1B."

Shortly after that day, Pearl heard that one of the school's shareholders had donated a lot of money to

refurbish its racetrack, using the best materials. The shock absorption and fall prevention function

ranked first in the world. There would be no marks on the knee after a slight fall.

Besides her, the rest of the school didn't know that one student's injury caused this huge change.

It's always simple to get closer when you're young. A secret shared between two people, the glances

during class, giving a bottle of water during basketball training...

Many years later, and Pearl still felt that her best days were left in her school days. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

But now memories always hurt.

Pearl gathered her thoughts, "It's also because of your brother's accident that you went back to your

family, right?"

"No." Richard glanced at her. His gaze was somewhat distant.

Pearl clenched her fork tightly. "So what was it?"

"What do you think?"

"I... I have no idea."

"Because you broke up with me. I applied for Ocpeace Medical University because of you. Since you

were gone, why would I waste my life? So I decided to pour all my heart into my career."

Pearl was stunned a little.

"Do you think I would reply you like that?" Richard's eyes gradually turned cold.

Hearing this, Pearl looked stiff. Her heart felt like it was on a rollercoaster ride, downwards.

"Disappointed?" Richard stared at her.

Pearl avoided his eyes and did not know how to answer him. She felt like her throat was chocking buy

something.

This feeling of disgracing herself is really too depressing. Inviting Richard to her house today was really

the stupidest thing she had ever done.

"No, you're overthinking. It's getting late. Let me show you out." After a long time, she looked up and

pretended to be calm.

"It's fine. Just take care of the children."

Richard stood up, after saying this.

"Daddy, are you leaving?" In the living room, Bonny jumped off the sofa and ran towards Richard.

"Won't you play with me for a while?"

"I'll play with you next time." Richard bent down and caressed her forehead.

Bonny held his hand and looked into the kitchen. "Mommy, come see Daddy off!"

Pearl stood in front of the table and looked hesitant.

"There's no need." Richard pulled his hand out and walked out.

The room fell silent as the door closed behind him.

Bonny stared at Pearl in anger and said, "Mommy, why didn't you send Daddy out?"

"He's not your daddy." Pearl corrected her with a frown. "Bonny, I've told you many times, don't call him

any more.

Bonny still wanted to say something but Pearl interrupted her. "If you say one more word, no ice cream

tomorrow. I'll get Brandon to watch you."

A wise man knew when to stop. The ice cream was her life. All Bonny could do was shut her mouth,

although she was unwilling to do so.

At night, the black car drove out of the neighborhood and into the street.

The traffic light was green, then quickly switched to red.

Richard was a little absent-minded. He should have entered the left turn lane, but he forgot. He drove

to the straight lane and stopped slowly in front of the red light. His eyebrows frowned deeply.

He couldn't tell why he left the company early today. When he got home, he didn't want to work or rest.

He was supposed to drive around, but he drove directly to Pear's house.

Across the road, he leaned against the car to smoke. He had planned to leave after he was done with

the cigarette, but then he saw her bringing the kids out and hailing a cab.

He followed them all the way, until they arrived at the supermarket.

Thinking of this, he became more and more annoyed.

What the hell am I doing?

Then his phone rang.

"Mr. Zellweger, I've found out. Dr. Yonng left earlier because she had a little conflict with the crew. It

seemed to be a guest group performance, and she was given a hard time by the actors of the crew."

"A hard time ?"

"Yes, someone slapped her."

"Who?" Upon hearing this, Richard's face darkened at once, and his eyes turned cold.

"It was Evelina."

Evelina was Pearl's younger sister, but their relationship was not that good. He knew it was the third

time that she gave her a hard time.

"Is she the spokesperson for our new product?" Richard asked.

"Yes."

"Find another one."

The night was really deep. His dark eyes were reflected in the rearview mirror. They seemed so dim

that they blended in with the night.
