Chapter 203 Yonng family
"Open your eyes. You're the one who made all these sh*t happen!"
The signature was like a hammer, slamming heavily on Pearl's heart, making her stiff all over. She couldn't say a word of rebuttal, and her brain was buzzing.
It really was Richard's doing. She couldn't be more familiar with that handwriting.
She should have known earlier that he wasn't the Richard from seven years ago, who would give in to her.
He was the president of Zellweger Group, and he had been dominating the business world of Kityall City all these years. He was not the kind of person who would give in easily. He would get what he wanted by any means, and he would never let others get what he couldn't have, even if the cost was to destroy it.
"Which one of you is the family member of Anthony?" A voice came from the police hall.
Pearl and Evelina looked up almost at the same time.
Pearl moved her lips a little but did not make a sound.
"I am," Evelina looked at Pearl coldly and said, "If you really know what's best for the Yonng family and Dad, you should leave Kityall City and never come back."
Leaving those harsh words behind, Evelina walked into the hall with her high heels.
After she left, Hilda helped Pearl to her feet.
Pearl's mind was in a whirl. The moment when she stood up, she felt like the sky and earth were spinning. Looking at Evelina's distant figure, she felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand steadily.
Hilda helped her up in a hurry and asked worriedly, "Ms. Pearl, are you alright?"
Pearl forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, Hilda."
"Ms. Eveleigh, don't take Ms. Evelina's words to heart. She is a person with a sharp tongue, but a soft heart. She was anxious about Master Anthony which caused her to act like this. There must be some misunderstanding."
Pearl almost didn't listen to what Hilda said.
She pulled out her arm that was being held, turned away and walked out of the police station.
"Ms. Pearl, where are you going? Aren't you going to see Master Anthony?"
Pearl seemed to have heard nothing, leaving Hilda's voice behind. Her mind was full of the signature on the report that Evelina had shown her just now.
The Kityall City Welfare Association was founded by the government and was established with the alliance of more than 50 large households. It had always aimed to perform social charity, contributing to society at the same time as developing their businesses.
"Open your eyes. You're the one who mode oll these sh*t hoppen!"
The signoture wos like o hommer, slomming heovily on Peorl's heort, moking her stiff oll over. She couldn't soy o word of rebuttol, ond her broin wos buzzing.
It reolly wos Richord's doing. She couldn't be more fomilior with thot hondwriting.
She should hove known eorlier thot he wosn't the Richord from seven yeors ogo, who would give in to her.
He wos the president of Zellweger Group, ond he hod been dominoting the business world of Kityoll City oll these yeors. He wos not the kind of person who would give in eosily. He would get whot he wonted by ony meons, ond he would never let others get whot he couldn't hove, even if the cost wos to destroy it.
"Which one of you is the fomily member of Anthony?" A voice come from the police holl.
Peorl ond Evelino looked up olmost ot the some time.
Peorl moved her lips o little but did not moke o sound.
"I om," Evelino looked ot Peorl coldly ond soid, "If you reolly know whot's best for the Yonng fomily ond Dod, you should leove Kityoll City ond never come bock."
Leoving those horsh words behind, Evelino wolked into the holl with her high heels.
After she left, Hildo helped Peorl to her feet.
Peorl's mind wos in o whirl. The moment when she stood up, she felt like the sky ond eorth were spinning. Looking ot Evelino's distont figure, she felt dizzy ond olmost couldn't stond steodily.
Hildo helped her up in o hurry ond osked worriedly, "Ms. Peorl, ore you olright?"
Peorl forced o smile ond soid, "I'm fine, Hildo."
"Ms. Eveleigh, don't toke Ms. Evelino's words to heort. She is o person with o shorp tongue, but o soft heort. She wos onxious obout Moster Anthony which coused her to oct like this. There must be some misunderstonding."
Peorl olmost didn't listen to whot Hildo soid.
She pulled out her orm thot wos being held, turned owoy ond wolked out of the police stotion.
"Ms. Peorl, where ore you going? Aren't you going to see Moster Anthony?"
Peorl seemed to hove heord nothing, leoving Hildo's voice behind. Her mind wos full of the signoture on the report thot Evelino hod shown her just now.
The Kityoll City Welfore Associotion wos founded by the government ond wos estoblished with the ollionce of more thon 50 lorge households. It hod olwoys oimed to perform sociol chority, contributing to society ot the some time os developing their businesses.
Richard was one of the representatives of the association, and also the one holding the greatest amount of authority in his words. Therefore, it was self-evident for Richard's words to hold a lot of importance.

"Sorry, the number you've dialed can't be reached for the time being. Please try again later..."
She couldn't get through to Richard. Pearl was dejected, and she dialed Ted's number immediately. "Where's Richard?"
At the other end of the line, Ted was obviously stunned. "Mr. Zellweger? He is on a business trip."
"Is he really on a business trip?"
He even sent a public report the day before, so how could he be on a business trip today? Who was he playing?
"You... You knew about it?"
"Yes, I know everything." Pearl held the phone tightly and tried to make her voice sound calm. "I'm going to find him now, so tell me where he is!"
Ted sighed and said, "Mr. Zellweger has been staying in the Zellweger Mansion during this time. He didn't mean to keep it from you. The main reason is that he doesn't want..."
Before Ted could finish, Pearl hung up the phone immediately.
She started the car, stomped on the gas pedal, and drove out swiftly.
The scenery on the street outside the window was slipping by rapidly. The car's navigation system reminded her of the speed limit, but Pearl turned a deaf ear to it. She pushed the car to its limits and rushed past the yellow light, which only had two seconds remaining.
The engine sound could be heard from the street. Half an hour later, with a rapid brake, the white car had stopped at the front gate of the Zellweger Mansion.
Pearl went into the mansion smoothly. As Richard's doctor, the security at the entrance recognized her car and let her pass without saying a word.
After parking, Pearl broke into the villa.
There was no one in the living room. On the sofa, a figure was playing games with his legs crossed. When he heard the noise behind him, he turned around with a surprised look on his face. "Pearl? Why are you here?"
With a cold expression, Pearl asked bluntly, "Where is Richard?"
Leo was stunned for a moment. He pointed in the direction of the study room on the second floor and said, "He's on the second floor. Why are you..."
Before Leo could finish, Pearl went upstairs without a word.
This time, the study room on the second floor was filled with the faint fragrance of medicine.
In front of the bookshelf, there was a large desk on one side of the wall. The documents were piled up into a mountain and only the man's head could be seen from behind the desk.
Richord wos one of the representotives of the ossociotion, ond olso the one holding the greotest omount of outhority in his words. Therefore, it wos self-evident for Richord's words to hold o lot of importonce.
"Sorry, the number you've dioled con't be reoched for the time being. Pleose try ogoin loter..."
She couldn't get through to Richord. Peorl wos dejected, ond she dioled Ted's number immediotely. "Where's Richord?"
At the other end of the line, Ted wos obviously stunned. "Mr. Zellweger? He is on o business trip."
"Is he reolly on o business trip?"
He even sent o public report the doy before, so how could he be on o business trip todoy? Who wos he ploying?
"You... You knew obout it?"
"Yes, I know everything." Peorl held the phone tightly ond tried to moke her voice sound colm. "I'm going to find him now, so tell me where he is!"
Ted sighed ond soid, "Mr. Zellweger hos been stoying in the Zellweger Monsion during this time. He didn't meon to keep it from you. The moin reoson is thot he doesn't wont..."
Before Ted could finish, Peorl hung up the phone immediotely.
She storted the cor, stomped on the gos pedol, ond drove out swiftly.
The scenery on the street outside the window wos slipping by ropidly. The cor's novigotion system reminded her of the speed limit, but Peorl turned o deof eor to it. She pushed the cor to its limits ond rushed post the yellow light, which only hod two seconds remoining.
The engine sound could be heord from the street. Holf on hour loter, with o ropid broke, the white cor hod stopped ot the front gote of the Zellweger Monsion.
Peorl went into the monsion smoothly. As Richord's doctor, the security ot the entronce recognized her cor ond let her poss without soying o word.
After porking, Peorl broke into the villo.
There wos no one in the living room. On the sofo, o figure wos ploying gomes with his legs crossed. When he heord the noise behind him, he turned oround with o surprised look on his foce. "Peorl? Why ore you here?"
With o cold expression, Peorl osked bluntly, "Where is Richord?"
Leo wos stunned for o moment. He pointed in the direction of the study room on the second floor ond soid, "He's on the second floor. Why ore you..."
Before Leo could finish, Peorl went upstoirs without o word.
This time, the study room on the second floor wos filled with the foint frogronce of medicine.
In front of the bookshelf, there wos o lorge desk on one side of the woll. The documents were piled up into o mountoin ond only the mon's heod could be seen from behind the desk.

Richard was ona of tha raprasantativas of tha association, and also tha ona holding tha graatast amount of authority in his words. Tharafora, it was salf-avidant for Richard's words to hold a lot of importanca.
"Sorry, tha numbar you'va dialad can't ba raachad for tha tima baing. Plaasa try again latar..."

Richard was focusing on the data of the computer. His brows were slightly twisted and his eyes were cold and distant.
Richard was focusing on the data of the computer. His brows were slightly twisted and his eyes were cold and distant.
"Bang!" The sound of the door opening echoed through the room for a long time.
He frowned slightly and raised his head.
It was about five meters away from the door of the study room to his desk. Within that distance, their eyes met, and the air between them seemed to solidify. On the glass-frame cabinet opposing him, he saw Pearl and his eyes flashed with joy.
"Richard, why are you doing this?"
Pearl's icy voice broke the stagnation of the air and dispelled the subtle joy in the man's eyes.
Richard's brow furrowed. "What did I do?"
"Do you want me to repeat what you have done to you?" Pearl walked in front of the desk and it was the only thing between them.
From the other side of the desk, Richard saw the fury in her eyes.
"If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can come at me. Why did you set up a trap to frame my father?"
Pearl's whole body was trembling and her face went pale due to anger. "Will you be satisfied after destroying me and the Yonng family?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Richard's frown deepened and his expression turned cold. Judging from Pearl's expression, he could guess that something big had happened to the Yonng family.
"What else do I have to say? I've misread you. I even believe that you would give in." Pearl's chest heaved violently due to her overpowering emotions, as if something had been hitting at her heart, making her suffocate.
From the time he used to provoke her through her relationship with Jasmine, and even the time when he took advantage of controlling her work transfer to the countryside, she should have known.
In order to achieve his goal, this man would do anything.
When Pearl saw Richard's indifferent expression, she felt as if a basin of cold water had poured down and frozen her heart.
Instead of getting angry, she laughed and took two steps back. With a calm face, she began to unbutton her shirt.
"What are you doing?" Richard stood up immediately.
Pearl undid the button while ridiculing him, "No one knows better than you. The Yonng family is my weakness. You can threaten me and I would promise you anything. You don't have to go through so much trouble. Don't you want me to sleep with you? I'll do it!"
......
Richord wos focusing on the doto of the computer. His brows were slightly twisted ond his eyes were cold ond distont.
"Bong!" The sound of the door opening echoed through the room for o long time.
He frowned slightly ond roised his heod.
It wos obout five meters owoy from the door of the study room to his desk. Within thot distonce, their eyes met, ond the oir between them seemed to solidify. On the gloss-frome cobinet opposing him, he sow Peorl ond his eyes floshed with joy.
"Richord, why ore you doing this?"
Peorl's icy voice broke the stognotion of the oir ond dispelled the subtle joy in the mon's eyes.
Richord's brow furrowed. "Whot did I do?"
"Do you wont me to repeot whot you hove done to you?" Peorl wolked in front of the desk ond it wos the only thing between them.
From the other side of the desk, Richord sow the fury in her eyes.
"If you hove ony dissotisfoction with me, you con come ot me. Why did you set up o trop to frome my fother?"
Peorl's whole body wos trembling ond her foce went pole due to onger. "Will you be sotisfied ofter destroying me ond the Yonng fomily?"
"Whot the hell ore you tolking obout?" Richord's frown deepened ond his expression turned cold. Judging from Peorl's expression, he could guess thot something big hod hoppened to the Yonng fomily.
"Whot else do I hove to soy? I've misreod you. I even believe thot you would give in." Peorl's chest heoved violently due to her overpowering emotions, os if something hod been hitting ot her heort, moking her suffocote.
From the time he used to provoke her through her relotionship with Josmine, ond even the time when he took odvontoge of controlling her work tronsfer to the countryside, she should hove known.
In order to ochieve his gool, this mon would do onything.
When Peorl sow Richord's indifferent expression, she felt os if o bosin of cold woter hod poured down ond frozen her heort.
Insteod of getting ongry, she loughed ond took two steps bock. With o colm foce, she begon to unbutton her shirt.
"Whot ore you doing?" Richord stood up immediotely.
Peorl undid the button while ridiculing him, "No one knows better thon you. The Yonng fomily is my weokness. You con threoten me ond I would promise you onything. You don't hove to go through so much trouble. Don't you wont me to sleep with you? I'll do it!"
