Became A Queen After divorce

Pearl coquettishly threw herself into her father’s arms, bravely admitting her mistake. The father and daughter, who hadn’t seen each other for many years, were somewhat unfamiliar at first, but now the barrier between them had diminished, bringing them closer together.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Why should we, father and daughter, worry so much?”

“Now that you’re back, it’s time to pay respects to your mother.”

“Yeah, I’ll have time tomorrow.”

Watching the warm and harmonious interaction between father and daughter, Libby felt like an outsider, awkwardly standing there.

Sam reviewed the whole story and felt a hint of deception regarding how the Cunningham family disappeared. Thinking a bit, he found the “driving away the son” part unnecessary. At that time, the Cunningham family had already married into the Lucas family, and Lady Natalia was already pregnant. They had no reason to drive Declan away. Furthermore, the Cunningham family cared about their reputation; Lady Natalia being pregnant out of wedlock was embarrassing enough, let alone adding the reputation of “husband driving away.” Thus, Sam was certain Declan was lying. As for the reason, it was probably because he didn’t want his biological daughter to know his true nature. Declan wasn’t worried about his lie being exposed; the Cunningham family had left Tondende years ago. In the study, including himself, only four people knew the truth, and this secret, if nothing unexpected happened, would rot in his stomach for a lifetime.

“Oh, Pearl, explain to Dad why you injured Lord Parker yesterday.”

He suddenly mentioned this, and Pearl couldn’t help but feel guilty and lowered her head, shifting her gaze to Sam.

“Well… I hit him because he tried to harass me and my friend. My friend’s name is Ruth, Mr. Hurst has met her before, Ruth is a decent girl.”

Sam didn’t answer. His silence meant refusing to speak up for her in front of her father, and Pearl glared at him anxiously.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Her lips parted slightly, silently questioning, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Smart Sam knew what she meant, but he had no intention of helping. Instead, he calmly replied, “I never promised you anything.”

“You! Despicable!”

The scene of the two of them exchanging glances fell into Miss Libby’s eyes.

She looked at them suspiciously, alarm bells ringing in her mind. Sam was notoriously difficult to handle, and Pearl had only returned home for less than three days, and they were already so familiar with each other?

If he chose to help her, then she would face even greater difficulties. To probe the depth of their relationship, Libby deliberately teased them:

“Pearl and Mr. Hurst seem quite familiar. Have you met before?”

“I feel relieved to see you getting along well. Originally, I was afraid I would have to trouble Mr. Hurst to pick you up yesterday, but I had some last-minute business to attend to.”

Their answers were exactly the opposite.

Sam: “Not familiar.”

Pearl: “Okay.”

Libby was puzzled.

Before she could inquire further, Pearl, furious, spoke up without restraint, surprising everyone once again.

“Hey, Sam, what do you mean? I slept in your bed last night, and you still say we’re not familiar?”

As she spoke, there was a crisp sound.

It turned out Declan accidentally dropped the teacup in his hand, and the exquisite teapot shattered into pieces on the ground.

Declan couldn’t come back to his senses for a long time, only Pearl’s words “I slept in your bed” echoing in his mind. Although he intentionally tried to match the two of them, their relationship was progressing too fast.

He turned his head to glare at Sam, his tone displeased as he questioned him, “Sam, what’s going on?”

Sam, rare as it was, blushed, actually feeling angry! He had never seen such shameless woman. Perhaps she hadn’t learned much else during her years abroad, but she had definitely mastered the skill of turning the tables.

“Mr. Gilliam, please don’t misunderstand. Last night, I was ordered to go to the bar to find Miss Pearl, and coincidentally, I saw her being harassed by two ruffians.”

“After I drove them away, I originally intended to take Miss Pearl straight back to Gilliam Mansion, but halfway there, she vomited on me, so I had to change the plan.”

It was well known that Sam was a clean freak and couldn’t stand the slightest filth, let alone being vomited on.

Declan silently glanced at his daughter again, confirming her safety. Fortunately, she wasn’t hurt anywhere. Sam must have tolerated it out of respect for him.

“Pearl, you’re in the wrong here. How could a girl like you hang out in such a chaotic place like a bar?”

“You almost got bullied by ruffians. When I get back, I’ll have someone investigate who dared to lay hands on Declan’s daughter.”

Pearl was also a clever person who knew the current situation. Seeing her father angry, she quickly admitted her mistake.

“Dad, I know I was wrong. Yesterday was my friend’s birthday.”

“I’ll refuse to hang out with her in the future. How could I take her to such a place? I, such a pure person, don’t usually go to such places.”

Listening to her nonsense, Sam once again refreshed his understanding of her. The nerve of this woman was indeed beyond compare!

He thought her friend named “Ruth” would surely thank her.

“But Dad, those two have already been taught a lesson by Sam. Let it go.”

“I got too drunk last night and my clothes got dirty, so I borrowed his place to take a shower and sleep.”

“You took a shower too!”

Declan’s voice suddenly raised, unbelieving.

Seeing that the matter was being exaggerated by her, Sam’s face turned ugly, and he stepped forward to explain himself.

“Mr. Gilliam, please don’t misunderstand. After I gave my bedroom to Miss Pearl last night, I slept in the study.”

Pearl, still concerned about him, casually commented, realizing afterwards, “No wonder you woke up with dark circles under your eyes this morning. So you slept in the study last night.”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’m not that petty. The bed is so big, it’s not like two people can’t fit on it.”

At these words, veins popped on Sam’s forehead.

Declan’s heart sank even further.

“I believe in Sam’s character, but Pearl, as a girl, you should be more reserved.”
