Chapter 26 Wish you a good luck.
Ever since she was a child, Pearl was always Anthony's favorite. Yet, seven years before, he severed all connections with this precious daughter to protect the family's reputation in the whole seven years.
Evelina found that her father's eyes became cold; her heart sank. "Dad, I have nothing to do with the photos. I just..."
Before she finished her sentence, a relative came to propose a toast to her. Anthony gave a warning look to Evelina, so she immediately shut her mouth. She forced a smile and toasted with the relative.
Richard suppressed his coldness in eyes. He turned around to look for Pearl but only to find that Pearl was leaving with the twins. The slender figure almost disappeared at the entrance of the hall.
Richard's eyes darkened. He followed her.
The scorching sun in July seemed to be able to melt everything on the ground.
Pearl held Bonny with one hand and took Brandon's hand with the other hand. They were hailing a taxi on the street. Yet, all the passing taxis were occupied.
It had been a long while before a black car slowly stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing a cold face. His dark eyes were so composed that made her felt a little frightened. "I see that you've gotten better at running away now."

Hearing that, Pearl's face turned pale. "Bonny, what are you doing?"
Bonny turned around. She blinked at Pearl innocently. "Brandon called him Daddy, so couldn't I call him Daddy? Brandon and I have different Daddies?"
Pearl's experssion was stiffer than ever.
It was too abrupt, and she had no the time to ask Brandon about it.
Before Pearl came up with a solution, Richard had opened the car door. Then Bonny climbed into the car without a care.
