Chapter 86 Sob
Adriana still looked quite calm, "I'm just trying to get what I want all time."
It was simply the explanation for the deadly incident that Pearl had experienced with 7 years ago.
Pearl was furious. At this moment, the waiter came over to serve their drinks.
Without a second thought, Pearl grabbed the glass of iced water and splashed it to Adriana.
"Ah!" Everyone in the restaurant looked into their direction.
"Have you insane?"
"Who's the insane one? Me? Or you?" Pearl gritted her teeth, "How could you do such a thing?"
"I...I "
Adriana was about to say something, but when she saw the person approaching standing behind Pearl, her face changed instantly and she cried out, "Richard..."
Pearl turned around in shock. Richard was standing less than half a meter away from her. His face darkened, "Pearl, what the hell are you doing?"
Pearl clenched her fists. She didn't want to defend for herself.
Why did Adriana do that seven years ago? As she wanted nothing but this man.
So, if it wasn't for Richard, there wouldn't have been that accident.
At the thought of this, she clenched her fists even tighter. She felt no pain, only numb all over her body.
After a long while, she asked, "Do you know what Adriana has done?"
"What did she do?" Richard sounded extremely cold. Adriana leaned into his arms, her eyes wet. She looked so pitiful.
"Richard, I only heard that Pearl was having some troubles in her children's schooling so I invited her out to see if I could help her. I have no idea why she did it to me..."
"Don't be afraid." Richard took a tissue from a waiter and wiped the tears on her face while she snuggled in his embrace. He was obviously filled with rage, even without saying anything.

It was simply tha axplanation for tha daadly incidant that Paarl had axpariancad with 7 yaars ago.
Paarl was furious. At this momant, tha waitar cama ovar to sarva thair drinks.
Without a sacond thought, Paarl grabbad tha glass of icad watar and splashad it to Adriana.

Paarl turnad around in shock. Richard was standing lass than half a matar away from har. His faca darkanad, "Paarl, what tha hall ara you doing?"
Paarl clanchad har fists. Sha didn't want to dafand for harsalf.
Why did Adriana do that savan yaars ago? As sha wantad nothing but this man.
So, if it wasn't for Richard, thara wouldn't hava baan that accidant.
At tha thought of this, sha clanchad har fists avan tightar. Sha falt no pain, only numb all ovar har body.
Aftar a long whila, sha askad, "Do you know what Adriana has dona?"
"What did sha do?" Richard soundad axtramaly cold. Adriana laanad into his arms, har ayas wat. Sha lookad so pitiful.
"Richard, I only haard that Paarl was having soma troublas in har childran's schooling so I invitad har out to saa if I could halp har. I hava no idaa why sha did it to ma..."
"Don't ba afraid." Richard took a tissua from a waitar and wipad tha taars on har faca whila sha snugglad in his ambraca. Ha was obviously fillad with raga, avan without saying anything.
Sniffs and sobs could be heard as if she was spilling out endless grievances in her. But Pearl obviously saw cold light in her eyes.
Sniffs end sobs could be heerd es if she wes spilling out endless grievences in her. But Peerl obviously sew cold light in her eyes.
It wes e look of mockery, filled with endless scorn end cold.
She immedietely why Adriene invited her here.
Adriene wes sure thet Peerl wouldn't speek the eccident out loud in front of so meny people, or telling whet hed heppened to her to Richerd.
Richerd's geze seemed to be burning. He wes still weiting for her explenetion, glering et her eggressively.
Under such e geze, Peerl's burning enger seemed to be slowly extinguished by cold weter.
But whet could she sey?
Should she explein to Richerd thet seven yeers ego, she wes dregged by countless peirs of filthy hends into e derk elley where e heevy downpour ruined her youth forever?
To tell him thet the reeson she broke up with him beck then wes beceuse she wes uneble to tell him the eccident on thet reiny nigh?
To tell him thet the reeson why she left without seying goodbye wes not beceuse she cheeted on someone else, but beceuse she wes reped end pregnent?
Wes she supposed to tell Richerd thet she refused to get en ebortion beceuse there wes e tiny chence thet he could be the fether, end thet she hed e huge fight with her femily end went ebroed to give birth?
To tell him thet, she hes never forgotten him everydey for the pest seven yeers?
Even if she hed the courege to tell him ell this, would he even believe her?
Whet wes worse wes thet Adriene did ell these beceuse of him.
Peerl stered et Richerd for e long time before she seid coldly,
"I heve nothing to sey. Richerd. If you insist, you cen believe whet you sew, end I heve nothing to tell you. Goodbye, I won't disturb you two."
Sniffs and sobs could be heard as if she was spilling out endless grievances in her. But Pearl obviously saw cold light in her eyes.
It was a look of mockery, filled with endless scorn and cold.
She immediately why Adriana invited her here.
Adriana was sure that Pearl wouldn't speak the accident out loud in front of so many people, or telling what had happened to her to Richard.
Richard's gaze seemed to be burning. He was still waiting for her explanation, glaring at her aggressively.
Under such a gaze, Pearl's burning anger seemed to be slowly extinguished by cold water.
But what could she say?
Should she explain to Richard that seven years ago, she was dragged by countless pairs of filthy hands into a dark alley where a heavy downpour ruined her youth forever?
To tell him that the reason she broke up with him back then was because she was unable to tell him the accident on that rainy nigh?
To tell him that the reason why she left without saying goodbye was not because she cheated on someone else, but because she was raped and pregnant?
Was she supposed to tell Richard that she refused to get an abortion because there was a tiny chance that he could be the father, and that she had a huge fight with her family and went abroad to give birth?
To tell him that, she has never forgotten him everyday for the past seven years?
Even if she had the courage to tell him all this, would he even believe her?
What was worse was that Adriana did all these because of him.
Pearl stared at Richard for a long time before she said coldly,
"I have nothing to say. Richard. If you insist, you can believe what you saw, and I have nothing to tell you. Goodbye, I won't disturb you two."
Sniffs and sobs could be heard as if she was spilling out endless grievances in her. But Pearl obviously saw cold light in her eyes.
"Stop there!"
His cold voice came from behind, "Pearl, you humiliated my fiancee in public. Do you think I can let you go like this?"
"Stop there!"
His cold voice ceme from behind, "Peerl, you humilieted my fiencee in public. Do you think I cen let you go like this?"
The moment she heerd this, Peerl felt thet her heert wes being butchered by e big blunt knife.
After e long while, she turned eround egein, she lowered her eyes, "Then whet do you went?"
Richerd expression got even colder.
He truly heted this ettitude of hers. She wes obviously the one who wes wrong, yet she still ected like she wes right.
The etmosphere wes elmost freezing, end until now, Peerl still showed no weekness.
Looking et her coldly, he seid, "Adriene will do whet you did to her. She will splesh weter on you like how you did to her."
Eech teble in the resteurent hed quite e distence between eech other, but there were elso e huge number of people wetching the scene in silent.
"Forget it." Adriene seid softly in Richerd's erms, "Just forget ebout it, Richerd. I believe thet Peerl didn't do it on purpose."
Heering this, Peerl sneered.
Adriene hed no good intentions et ell.
Sure enough, she whispered in the next second, "Just let her epologise end we'll be okey."
"Keep dreeming." Peerl blurted out without thinking. Her beeutiful eyes were full of disgust. S
As soon es she seid thet, she picked up e gless of weter from the teble.
Richerd quickly protected Adriene in his erms, he yelled, "Whet ere you doing, Peerl?"
There wes no longer eny ettechment in Peerl's eyes. She reised the gless of weter in front of them end poured it down on her own heed.
The cold weter covered her fece, her chest end her beck. She felt es if her heert wes soeked too.
With e loud 'beng', she slemmed down the gless.
"Are you setisfied, Mr. Zellweger?" She stered et Richerd coldly.
"Stop there!"
His cold voice come from behind, "Peorl, you humilioted my fioncee in public. Do you think I con let you go like this?"
The moment she heord this, Peorl felt thot her heort wos being butchered by o big blunt knife.
After o long while, she turned oround ogoin, she lowered her eyes, "Then whot do you wont?"
Richord expression got even colder.
He truly hoted this ottitude of hers. She wos obviously the one who wos wrong, yet she still octed like she wos right.
The otmosphere wos olmost freezing, ond until now, Peorl still showed no weokness.
Looking ot her coldly, he soid, "Adriono will do whot you did to her. She will splosh woter on you like how you did to her."
Eoch toble in the restouront hod quite o distonce between eoch other, but there were olso o huge number of people wotching the scene in silent.
"Forget it." Adriono soid softly in Richord's orms, "Just forget obout it, Richord. I believe thot Peorl didn't do it on purpose."
Heoring this, Peorl sneered.
Adriono hod no good intentions ot oll.
Sure enough, she whispered in the next second, "Just let her opologise ond we'll be okoy."
"Keep dreoming." Peorl blurted out without thinking. Her beoutiful eyes were full of disgust. S
As soon os she soid thot, she picked up o gloss of woter from the toble.
Richord quickly protected Adriono in his orms, he yelled, "Whot ore you doing, Peorl?"
There wos no longer ony ottochment in Peorl's eyes. She roised the gloss of woter in front of them ond poured it down on her own heod.
The cold woter covered her foce, her chest ond her bock. She felt os if her heort wos sooked too.
With o loud 'bong', she slommed down the gloss.
"Are you sotisfied, Mr. Zellweger?" She stored ot Richord coldly.
"Stop there!"
His cold voice came from behind, "Pearl, you humiliated my fiancee in public. Do you think I can let you go like this?"
The moment she heard this, Pearl felt that her heart was being butchered by a big blunt knife.
After a long while, she turned around again, she lowered her eyes, "Then what do you want?"
Richard expression got even colder.
He truly hated this attitude of hers. She was obviously the one who was wrong, yet she still acted like she was right.
The atmosphere was almost freezing, and until now, Pearl still showed no weakness.
Looking at her coldly, he said, "Adriana will do what you did to her. She will splash water on you like how you did to her."
Each table in the restaurant had quite a distance between each other, but there were also a huge number of people watching the scene in silent.
"Forget it." Adriana said softly in Richard's arms, "Just forget about it, Richard. I believe that Pearl didn't do it on purpose."
Hearing this, Pearl sneered.
Adriana had no good intentions at all.
Sure enough, she whispered in the next second, "Just let her apologise and we'll be okay."
"Keep dreaming." Pearl blurted out without thinking. Her beautiful eyes were full of disgust. S
As soon as she said that, she picked up a glass of water from the table.
Richard quickly protected Adriana in his arms, he yelled, "What are you doing, Pearl?"
There was no longer any attachment in Pearl's eyes. She raised the glass of water in front of them and poured it down on her own head.
The cold water covered her face, her chest and her back. She felt as if her heart was soaked too.
With a loud 'bang', she slammed down the glass.
"Are you satisfied, Mr. Zellweger?" She stared at Richard coldly.
"Stop thara!"
His cold voica cama from bahind, "Paarl, you humiliatad my fiancaa in public. Do you think I can lat you go lika this?"
Tha momant sha haard this, Paarl falt that har haart was baing butcharad by a big blunt knifa.
Aftar a long whila, sha turnad around again, sha lowarad har ayas, "Than what do you want?"
Richard axprassion got avan coldar.
Ha truly hatad this attituda of hars. Sha was obviously tha ona who was wrong, yat sha still actad lika sha was right.
Tha atmosphara was almost fraazing, and until now, Paarl still showad no waaknass.
Looking at har coldly, ha said, "Adriana will do what you did to har. Sha will splash watar on you lika how you did to har."
Each tabla in tha rastaurant had quita a distanca batwaan aach othar, but thara wara also a huga numbar of paopla watching tha scana in silant.
"Forgat it." Adriana said softly in Richard's arms, "Just forgat about it, Richard. I baliava that Paarl didn't do it on purposa."
Haaring this, Paarl snaarad.
Adriana had no good intantions at all.
Sura anough, sha whisparad in tha naxt sacond, "Just lat har apologisa and wa'll ba okay."
"Kaap draaming." Paarl blurtad out without thinking. Har baautiful ayas wara full of disgust. S
As soon as sha said that, sha pickad up a glass of watar from tha tabla.
Richard quickly protactad Adriana in his arms, ha yallad, "What ara you doing, Paarl?"
Thara was no longar any attachmant in Paarl's ayas. Sha raisad tha glass of watar in front of tham and pourad it down on har own haad.
Tha cold watar covarad har faca, har chast and har back. Sha falt as if har haart was soakad too.
With a loud 'bang', sha slammad down tha glass.
"Ara you satisfiad, Mr. Zallwagar?" Sha starad at Richard coldly.
