Mysterious Mr.Richard

Only You Can Save Ethan

Staying by Ethan's side, Pearl was introduced by Victoria to all the guests.

Victoria was obviously extremely fond of Pearl, showering her with nothing but praises and

compliments.

Victoria's face was full of pride. She held up a glass of champagne and toasted everyone. "Thank you

for taking your precious time to attend this banquet. just want to take this opportunity to introduce Pearl

to everyone of you. When their wedding date is set, I'll definitely invite all of you!"

Her words actually made everyone present never dare look down on Pearl.

People started to asked: "Why did Ethan get married so secretly?"

"Yeah, Mrs. Louise, you've hidden this news well."

"They were studying abroad during the past years, thus they didn't have time to hold a ceremony. We

were afraid of gossiping if we disclosed it too soon."

"Pearl is also a doctor since she was once Ethan's classmate?"

"Yeah, now she is working here in Kityall City."

...

All people who attended the banquet knew that they had a youngest son, Ethan. Although he was a

playboy, no one dared to look down on him. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Traditionally, the inheritance of a Family Group still relied on a son. Therefore, most of them believed

that Ethan would eventually inherit Louise Group.

Pearl had drunk a lot of wine after rounds of greetings.

"Are you okay?" Ethan helped her to the side to rest. "Don't force yourself to drink anymore. Why did

you drink for every random person who came to toast?"

Pearl rolled her eyes at him by hearing this: "The people who toasted me were all your relatives. Are

they just 'random people'?"

"I didn't mean it. Why are you exaggerating? You sound like Katherine." Ethan sat her down on the

sofa. "Have a rest. Drink some water."

"I'm okay," Pearl leaned back on the sofa with Ethan sitting beside as well. With Katherine's support,

they actually did not need to do anything in the banquet.

For everyone in this world, there was a destined person in their lives. No matter how crowded it was,

one could always see that person at a glance as if they had telepathy.

Pearl and Richard were quite far away from each other, but the moment their eyes met, they quickly

turned their gaze away.

Pearl frowned and took a sip of hot water, as if she didn't see him.

"Stop pretending," said Ethan as he crossed his legs and peeled an orange in his hand, "I'm sure

you're feeling disgusted seeing both of them in pairs?"

"No." Pearl pouted.

"Why do you sound so decisively?"

Rather than answering Ethan's question, she asked, "What happened between you and Adriana just

now?"

"I don't like seeing a beauty alone. So I just chatted with her for a while." Ethan shrugged.

"But why was Katherine so angry?" Thinking of the situation when she suddenly was pulled out by

Victoria in the lounge, Pearl asked.

Only very serious situations could let Victoria show such a panicked expression, nagging, "Pearl, only

you can save Ethan!"

Although Ethan was the only son of the Louise family, his status in the family was really worrying.

Obviously, the elders of the Louise family loved their daughters biasedly.

Ethan once said that when he was only a little boy, he stole an eraser from Katherine and she beat him

up for wholly three days.

However, Pearl didn't feel any sympathy for him. She considered he deserved it.

Since Ethan's made her first girlfriend, katherine had helped him settle countless of his playboy

incidents. Many girls came to the Louise family while arguing and crying at that time.

Ethan's unreliable relationships caused a severe headache for the entire Louise family, which was why

Pearl was enthusiastically welcomed by them.

It was the Louise family's greatest expectation for Ethan, a playboy who always made his families

worry about him, to marry a girl earnestly. Also, Pearl was a good girl.

Ethan smiled: "I just chatted with her for a while. But when she heard that I'm Ethan Louise, her eyes lit

up. So, I think she isn't as loyal to Richard as you might have thought."

"Well, but this really has nothing to do with me."

"Seriously, if you wanna get back together with Richard, I'm confident that I'll break them apart and ruin

their wedding ceremony." Ethan smiled.

"Don't talk nonsense," Pearl frowned. "After I find out what happened in the past, I will go back to

Maniville."

Seeing Pearl's firm expression, Ethan stopped beating around the bush to test her. "It's good to get

back to Maniville. You'll have more time taking care of the children."

"By the way," Ethan glanced at his watch and said: "It's still early. If you are tired, I'll ask the staff to

book a room for you."

At this time, many people in the banquet hall were staring at her, as Pearl was newly introduced by

Victoria to public. It would be rude and impolite if she left ahead of schedule, but she was really drunk,

especially when Ethan mentioned Richard's wedding.

"Okay then." She reluctantly forced a smile, "Thank you."

At that moment, Adriana took a glass of wine from the staff. While Richard wasn't paying attention to

her, she clicked open the ring on her finger and poured out some white powder.

"I brought you another wine, Richard."

"Thanks," Richard was still expressionless. Then, he lifted the glass and gulped it down.

Richard'd drank quite a lot of wine, as he didn't reject anyone who came to toast him. He was now

already very drunk.

"Are you okay, Richard?" Adriana asked.

Richard's long fingers loosened the knot of his necktie. Feeling his body burning, he still remained his

expression calm: "Okay."

"How about I take you out for a break?"
