Became A Queen After divorce

Pearl stood calmly in the middle, not moving an inch. She had no intention of resisting because she knew that even if she fought with all her might, she couldn’t defeat them, especially since she was carrying one child on her back and holding another by the hand.

“Pearl, I’m scared…,” Sasha whimpered. Despite being a sensible three-year-old, she was still just a child and felt terrified in the face of so many threatening people. She clung tightly to Pearl’s sleeve, burying her little head in Pearl’s waist, too afraid to look up.

At the critical moment, Pearl pulled out a fruit knife from somewhere and held it against her pale neck. “If anyone steps forward, I’ll die right in front of you!”

The bodyguards halted, not daring to move. If anything happened to Miss Pearl, they would be the ones to take the blame. They looked at Mr. Gilliam for guidance.

“Sir, what should we do now?”

Declan was equally frightened. His eyes were fixed on the knife in Pearl’s hand, his emotions too complex to describe. In the end, familial love triumphed over reason. He sighed helplessly and made a unilateral compromise.

“Alright, alright, we won’t move. Pearl, please don’t do anything rash. You’re my only daughter… you’re breaking my heart.”

Pearl’s eyes welled up with tears that streamed down her cheeks and dripped onto her hand. Her hand trembled violently. She was actually very timid and afraid of pain, but she couldn’t think about that now; she had to save lives.

“I’m sorry, Dad. I can’t stand by and watch an innocent life slip away before my eyes.”

“You say I’ve disappointed you, but I’m doing this for your own good. You can’t keep killing innocent people.”

“If you don’t let me take him away today, I’d rather die right here in front of you.”

Declan didn’t believe in karma despite living in Taswya. He thought that if one couldn’t handle things well in this life, how could they expect a better next life?

“Redemption isn’t for me, Pearl… you’re forcing my hand.”

If he let the boy go, his daughter might die in the future. But if he kept the boy here by force, Pearl might commit suicide right now.

Pearl had made up her mind. Seeing her father hesitate for so long, she pressed the knife deeper into her neck. A red line appeared on her white skin, stark and glaring.

“No!”

Declan shouted.

“Do you really want to see me die in front of you? Dad, don’t forget how much you owe me over the years!”

Mentioning the past broke Declan’s resolve. He could think of other ways to deal with the issue of the universal blood later, but Pearl must not come to harm.

“Alright, I agree.”

“Everyone step aside and let Miss Pearl leave.”

The bodyguards sighed in relief; they were no longer caught in a difficult position.

“Yes.”

The crowd parted down the middle, forming two lines to create a path.

Worried that the boy wouldn’t make it to the hospital in time, Pearl seized the opportunity to make another demand.

“Wait, prepare a car for me, and make it fast!”

“Should we agree to this too?” Libby asked coldly.

She hadn’t expected Declan to let Pearl go so easily. Ha… such deep father-daughter affection.

Declan glanced deeply at Libby; her dissatisfaction was written all over her face. She hadn’t been this impatient before. Connecting this with earlier events… it was Libby who had informed him about Pearl taking the boy away.

It seemed Libby was losing her patience.

“Give her the car! Libby, don’t forget she’s your sister.”

Libby gritted her teeth in anger. Sister? They weren’t related by blood at all. Even if they were, so what? Anyone who stood in her way had only one fate-death!

Declan’s actions only fueled her murderous intent. Her eyes flashed briefly with cold light as she reluctantly stepped back.

“Yes, Father.”

Soon Brody handed over the car keys with both hands, regretting that things had escalated to this point. As an observer, he understood the reasons behind it all. Handing over the keys, he spoke up for Declan.

“Miss Pearl, you’ve misunderstood your father. You must know… he loves you more than anyone else in this world.”

Pearl felt her father’s love but couldn’t agree with his actions.

“Uncle Brody, there’s no need to say more. I won’t forgive him until he changes.”

“Sigh~”

Brody sighed deeply. Declan hadn’t told Pearl the truth to spare her guilt, but Pearl’s actions were breaking his heart.

Before leaving, Pearl turned back to look at Declan standing among the crowd. She bit her lip and turned away resolutely.

“Uncle Brody, please take care of my father.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Don’t worry, Miss Pearl. I will.”

With that, Pearl left Declan’s sight, carrying the boy on her back and holding a knife in one hand while a delicate little girl followed behind her.

As his beloved daughter’s figure disappeared into the night, Declan’s eyes reddened.

Brody knew that Declan didn’t want Pearl to leave but couldn’t express it.

“Sir, should we send someone to protect Miss Pearl secretly?”

Declan shook his head.

“No need. Last time she noticed and played tricks on them.”

“She’s angry now; sending someone will only make her angrier.”

He also trusted Sam’s ability to protect Pearl adequately.

“Alright then.”

Brody understood and waved for the bodyguards to leave while he helped Declan away.

Only Libby remained with a dark expression. A gleam of excitement flashed in her eyes as she whispered coldly,

“Pearl has no protection now; what an opportunity!”

On the road, a luxury car sped by like wind across a plain.

It was Pearl’s first time driving since getting her license, and she was nervous. But thinking about the boy’s life hanging by a thread, she pressed the gas pedal to the floor.

In the back seat, Sasha used her frail shoulders to support the much larger boy. Blood stained her dress. It was her first time seeing so much blood; her face turned pale with fear, but she remained still, supporting him.

“Sasha, he’s passed out again.”

“We’re almost at the hospital. Hold on tight.”
