After hearing Mare’s speculation, Lucas was left in complete disbelief. He was still in a 

“Are you saying that back when Pearl married you and took care of you for three years, it was to repay a debt? To repay the life–saving favor you for her in Greenwood?” Lucas asked incredulously. 

Males responded with a thoughtful “Hmm” over the phone. It seemed that was indeed the case. 

When Lucas regained his senses, his eyes were still filled with shock. “I can’t believe it. It sounds so much like a TV show. Do girls really go to such lengths to repay a debt with marriage? 

Marc replied, “It’s not all just about repaying a debt.” 

Marc’s brows furrowed slightly. For some reason, he didn’t want to attribute Pearl’s reasons for marrying him solely to repayment of a debt He then shared with Lucas what Samuel had told him about Pearl’s long–standing crush on him. 

Lucas sipped his father’s coffee to calm himself down. Upon hearing the part about a “secret crush for ten years, he sprayed the coffee all over. 

William, who got sprayed in the face, was furious. He grabbed his cane and smacked his mischievous son out of the room. 

Lucas quickly fled the study, slamming the door behind him and feeling thoroughly shocked. “Are you serious? Pearl had a secret crush on you for ten years? Are you sure you’re not delusional 

Marc pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, Tim not conceited, and I wouldn’t joke about something like this.” 

“Well, I still find it hard to believe” 

Lucas returned to his room, pouring himmelf a drink. “Now that you have an answer, what do you plan to do? Just a reminder, these might be your speculations. Do you have any evidence?” 

“So, you’ll have to help me investigate, Marc replied. 

Initially, he had planned to retrain in computer skills and conduct the investigation himself, but now he couldn’t wait any longer and was eager to uncover the truth 

Lucas remembered Pearl’s computer skills that he had witnessed firsthand. He couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you. I’m not sure if I can match that girl’s abilities. 

“What do you mean?” Marc, who had a high level of vigilance and insight, asked, “Are you saying that Pearl is also skilled in this?” 

At this point. Lucas didn’t hide anything from him.

“It’s not just that she’s skilled. Her technical abilities are on par with mine. Remember when y the car at the time, and I saw how she crushed you” 

Mare was left speechless. 

So, that day, the one who called him a “loser” and gave him the middle finger was Pearl! His ex–wife w 

who seemed to know nothing about everything! 

“Are you surprised? I was nearly going crazy at the time. I thought I was hallucinating. 

Lucas finally found someone he could confide in. He unloaded all the secrets he had been holding to his oblivious friend. “It’s not just that. Your ex- wife, Miss Pearl, is not only a hacking expert but also a top–notch chef! Remember the renowned national banquet chef, Darren? We ate his cooking once. I’ve been trying to recruit him ever since. He turned me down, saying he wanted to further his studies. Well, guess what happened

“He went to Pearl’s place! Pearl was his mentor. He said she taught him all his cooking skills! Can you believe it?” 

Lucas continued, “I’ve never tasted Pearl’s cooking, so I’m still a bit skeptical. But she did say she’ll cook for me if sh I’m already getting hungry.” 

Marc remained speechless.

Pearl had deceived him! 

She wasn’t just Miss Pearl from the Woolery family. She was a hacking expert and a top chef. 

Why didn’t he know any of these things! 

Marc new wished he could fly to Pearl right away, grab her by the shoulders, and demand answers. He wanted to know why she had lied to him 

Why had she kept pretending? 

Why hadn’t she told him she was the girl from all those years ago

“Tm heading back to Nanston right now. Send me her phone number. I want to 

Mare no longer wanted to investigate because he knew that if there were things Pearl didn’t want him to know, she had the means to keep them hidden. Plus, her computer skills surpassed his. What could he do! 

For the first time in his life, he felt a love–hate relationship with a woman, and he felt utterly powerless! 

This feeling was driving him crazy! 

Meanwhile, Pearl, who had driven her ex–husband crazy, was on her way home. 

She leaned back in her seat closed her eyes, and contemplated the pros and cons of Hubert’s analysis, as well as Lucas’s various concerns. No matter how she looked at it, the best course of action now was to work together with the Males Group on the horse ranch project. 

Business was business, and emotions were emotions. She believed in keeping the two separate 

Marc should not become an exception 

Pearl let out a sigh and opened her eyes. She lowered the car window to gaze at the vast night sky outside. She felt the cool breeze on her face and her emotions swirling inside her. 

They said time would heal everything. But when a person had truly fallen for someone, it took time to let go 

Even now, Pearl couldn’t forget those days from ten years ago when she had fought side by side with Marc, lying in his arms, his face so his embrace so warm and strong. 

She smiled and asked him, “Mister, what’s your name? You saved me, and when I grow up, I want to find you and repay your kindness.” 

He replied, “My name is Marc Males. You don’t need to repay me. Just live a good life.”
