Chapter 113 She's Really Cold-Blooded
Pearl didn't think so. Even though she said such disdainful words to Haley, she was just protecting herself.
"Don't you know I have someone in my heart?" Pearl said.
One sentence immediately blocked Oscar's path to reconciliation. Pearl had someone she liked. But Oscar has never seen this man! It seems to have become a mystery between them.
Oscar's handsome face was cold and stern, but he had to say, "You don't need to mention this man. When the contract is up, I will let you go. If you don't give me the divorce agreement, I will send it to you!"
Their marriage contract had to expire naturally before he could get his share.
Pearl knew and tacitly understood, and she cooperated with him.
It could also be considered as a kind of repayment to him.
"Okay." Pearl took out her phone and looked at the calendar, adding, "There's only a few days left. I hope you can make time then."
Oscar did not reply.
Both of them had their wounds bandaged by the doctor. Pearl's wound was not deep, just a mere cut on the skin. She knew Arthur didn't want her dead—his actions were all due to that woman's instigation.
Soon, the police also arrived at the hospital.
In this matter, Pearl was the victim.
The police officer looked serious and said something heavy, "Ms. Harris, I'm sorry, Arthur has no vital signs after the explosion."
With such a loud explosion, how could Arthur still be alive?
His body was probably burnt to a crisp.
This was the first time Pearl had encountered such a thing, and she still felt scared and regretful.
Arthur kidnapped her; it wasn't a crime punishable by death; he would just spend a few years in prison and then come out.
But he paid such a huge price.
"I understand. Do you have any other discoveries?"
"The car was tampered with at the scene, fuel leakage..."
The police recounted the whole process.
Arthur drove the car, unaware that the fuel had leaked. He was smoking inside, which triggered the explosion.
At that time, they didn't pay attention to the presence of that woman.
Pearl had been thinking about how to escape the danger, so she didn't notice.
When Oscar broke in, the other party should have been trying to escape so she couldn't have been caught.
But no one expected the car to be bombed.
Except for her, Pearl didn't know who to suspect.
Although the woman didn't know it, Pearl had her in mind as a suspect. It was just that Pearl had no evidence. It was all based on her speculation.
This was a serious incident.
The police also took it seriously.
Pearl now had a shadow in her mind. She closed her eyes and felt the flames in front of her; someone died in front of her.
Compared to the accident in junior high school, this time, someone died. This person was her relative.
Pearl wasn't very sad; she just felt sorrowful. Arthur used to be a living person. Pearl clenched her hands tightly, suppressing the fear in her heart.
She didn't want to see anyone die in front of her again.
Oscar also saw her little movements; Pearl appeared calm on the surface, but inside, she was afraid. She was just pretending to be a strong woman.
Oscar glanced at Harold. Harold immediately left.
Suddenly, a bottle of milk appeared in front of Pearl.
She looked up and saw Oscar looking at her, saying, "Drink it."
Pearl was a bit stunned and didn't take it.
Oscar said calmly, "That time at your house, Adrian said that you like to drink sweet milk when you're nervous and afraid. You need to drink some now to calm down."
"You still remember."
Oscar's thoughtfulness touched Pearl.
"I remember everything about you." Oscar unscrewed the bottle cap for her.
Pearl looked at him. He was so confident, but he was wrong. There were still many things he didn't remember.
She took it. The milk was still warm. She took a sip. It was sweet, with a faint milky fragrance. The sweet milk eased her fear but also brought a hint of bitterness.
"Rest for a while." Oscar's wound had been bandaged. "I will handle things with the police."
He didn't want Pearl to be too tired.
With such a serious kidnapping case, Oscar naturally had to investigate things thoroughly. He couldn't even rest himself.
Pearl laid on the hospital bed, and soon someone came in.
"Pearl."
"Mom," Pearl called out.
Kittie came to the hospital, saw Pearl lying on the bed with wounds on her neck, looking miserable, and immediately burst into tears, came over and hugged her. "That bastard Arthur, how could he kidnap you and threaten you? He's such a jerk, making you suffer so much! In the future, our family will never have any dealings with their family! I've also talked to Evans. It's because Evans was lenient on him that you suffered! Evans has also come to his senses. Evans will also deal with Arthur!"
Evans stood at the door. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were filled with heartache and guilt. Sometimes, it was because he cared too much about family ties that those around him suffered. He hadn't done well in this regard.
Pearl had already let go. As long as she was alive, nothing was impossible. She choked up a bit and said calmly, "Dad, Mom, Arthur's already dead."
Pearl thought she wouldn't feel much, but when she told her parents about it, she felt a bit sad.
Nothing was more important than being alive.
When a person suddenly disappears from your sight, no matter how much resentment there was, it would all turn into indifference at this moment.
"What?" Kittie was shocked.
Evans couldn't say anything either, but the shock and sadness in his eyes were evident. Anyone could see it.
Pearl lowered her voice and continued, "The body should have been sent back... Mom, Dad, don't be too sad."
Pearl didn't know what to say, but she also knew her parents would be sad.
Kittie immediately fell mute.
Suddenly, the whole room seemed to be filled with a heavy silence.
If Arthur were still alive, they would want to scold and hit him, but now that Arthur was dead, what else could they say?
Kittie looked at Evans, afraid that he would be too sad.
Arthur was his brother.
Evans leaned against the door frame, he just looked at Pearl, and said with concern, "Arthur did wrong and got his just desserts. As long as you're okay, that's what matters."
Pearl remained silent, and she could see that Evans was still sad.
Pearl looked at Kittie and said, "Mom, you go and accompany Dad."
Before coming, Kittie had complained to Evans that they had to confront Arthur's whole family.
Now, the two of them didn't want to say anything. They silently stayed by Evans' side. Their family was also sad for a few days.
It wasn't Pearl's fault; it could only be said that Arthur had reaped what he had sowed, although the price was a bit high.
Arthur's funeral was held in his hometown.
After all, they were the Harris family, and he was still Pearl's uncle. Out of compassion, they had to make the trip.
There were many relatives in their hometown. They had rarely been in touch since their grandparents passed away.
The relatives in their hometown were close to Arthur's family.
When their car arrived at the funeral site, they were met with various gazes. Their gazes were not on Evans and his wife but on Pearl.
Arthur's death was related to Pearl. Even their own family blamed Pearl for it.
They had already talked about her sins.
Before getting out of the car, Pearl heard someone gossiping, "Pearl used to look so obedient and well-behaved when she was young, but now that she's grown up, she's not a good person. Arthur died because of her. He's her second uncle. She's really cold-blooded!"
