Chapter 23 A double blessing has descended upon the house.
Richard helped Pearl up.
Pearl froze when his hand fell on her shoulder. She was at a loss and she stared at him. But she could
only see his cold side face so that she could not read his mind.
She did not understand why Richard was with Brandon. She did not know what Richard was doing.
Anthony frowned warily when the unknown man showed up.
"Uncle." Richard greeted Anthony with unusual respect. "I'm sorry we are late. I need to pick up our son
first. If I had known that there will be such a big misunderstanding, I would have come with Pearl."
The crowd was shocked and confused.
They looked at Richard curiously .
Richard nodded at Anthony before turning to the crowd. He added, "Pearl is a doctor. She's very busy
with her studies abroad these years. So we postponed our wedding. So you have misunderstood
Pearl."
"So you are?"
"I'm Pearl's fiancé."
This reply stirred up a commotion among the crowd.
Although Richard didn't explain about the children, he was holding Brandon's hand while Pearl was
also holding hands with Bonny. The family of four shared the alike face features. Hence, no one would
deny that he was the father of the two children.
Yet, pepole was still confused.
"But what are the photos?"
"Yeah, the photos."
"It's Pearl, right?"
It was the the twins as well as those vulgar photos scattered all over the place before that make the
crowd begin to gossip about Pearl.
Pearl went pale again. She kept lowering her head and did not dare to look up at her relatives. She
took a step back instinctively.
In fact, if she could, she would flee the hall.
When she was panicking, Richard tightened his grip on her shoulder. She could not retreat anymore
and had no choice but to straighten her back. She looked at Richard in surprise.
The man's cold eyes skimmed around the crowd .Then he replied calmly, "The Zellweger family is too
big and wealthy. I was young at that time and it's inevitable to get an enemy to run businesses. That's
also why we've not made my marriage public. However, we call know Pearl's pure character. So I hope
you could keep what you saw as an secret."
The Zellweger family? Which Zellweger ?
In a city like Kityall City, there was only one family that would attract everyone's attention. Naturally,
everyone thought about Zellweger Group, which was owned by the Zellweger family.
Zellweger Group, the business tycoon in Kityall City, which no one dared to offend.
The crowd gasped one by one. Those who criticized Pearl before were embarrassed. They lowered
their heads and hoped that Richard did not see their faces clearly.
Richard let the crowd speculate without clarifying more. His calmer face made the crowd become more
frightened.
Finally the crowd calmed down.
The butler stepped forward to ease up the situation. "Well, it's all just a misunderstanding. And today
it's Miss Evelina's birthday which Pearl just returned. So let us forget these trivial matters." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
As he spoke, he stole a glance at Anthony carefully. Then he continued, "When the wedding date is
set, we will definitely send out invitations to you."
A few in the crowd were quick-minded. They responded, "Yes, yes, that's great."
" A double blessing has descended upon the house."
"Ah, the two children look just like baby Pearl. They're so adorable!"
......
The crowd immediately changed their comments into wishes. Everyone know that things were not as
easy as it seemed. However, with the support of the Zellweger family, who would dare to criticize
Pearl?
The butler attended to the guests. Anthony also eased up a little.
Pearl lowered her voice, "You can let me go now."
Richard acted like he didn't hear her. He retorted coldly, "How ungrateful can you be? You didn't even
say a thank to me."
