"I haven't seen my sister be so generous before."
Ethan held the keys with two fingers, his words filled with jealousy. "When I was in college, I asked her for a house to move into. But she just gave me the apartment you are living in now. She's so stingy."
Looking at the key, Pearl felt dazzled. She immediately put the leather bag into Ethan's arms and said, "Give it back to Katherine. It's too much for me."
"It's okay. Keep it," Ethan calmly said, "The apartment you're living in now is way too small. Move to the villa with me."
"No, I can't do that."
"If you don't live there, I will," Ethan threw both keys into his pocket brusquely and said, "The apartment you are living in now is too small. But the villa is located very close to Bonny's school. Katherine chose this house because it's nearer to school as well as the hospital."
"No, we're fine."
"Don't refuse so quickly. There's another reason why you should move there with me."
"What?"
"To lower our enemy's guard."
Hearing this, Pearl was slightly stunned.
A rare serious expression appeared on this playboy's face, and his eyes were a little cold. "No matter whether Adriana did it or not seven years ago, one thing is certain now. The accident definitely has something to do with Richard, not to say everything that happened to you after you returned here."
"So...?"
"So now, you have to completely dissociate yourself from him. While ensuring your own safety, you have to investigate the people around him, whether it's Adriana, Richard's mother, or anyone else. The accident shouldn't be that simple."
What Ethan had said made Pearl look more serious.
After calming down on that day, she also felt that what happened that year shouldn't just have related to Adriana only. She was unable to plan the whole thing perfectly.
Although it was only ten minutes' walk between the university and party hall, it was on the most bustling street. However, she did not see a single person on her way back to lab that night. Even outcasts.
Pearl couldn't figure it out in the past seven years.
The person who behind this couldn't just be a small fry like Adriana.
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists and said seriously, "Okay, I'll move in there."
...
At dusk, the sun was shining on the french windows.
In the dining room, the servants served the last dish. Apart from the clinking of cups, there was no other sound in the dining room.
The three people sitting by the table were extremely quiet, whereas no one felt anything wrong.
Mrs. Zellweger put down her cutlery and wiped the corners of her mouth slowly. The servant next to her quickly poured a cup of tea for her.
"At the end of this month, there will be a birthday party for Victoria Louise. I just received the invitation, but I'll be in Iverland at that time, so I can't attend. Take Adriana to the party, will you, Richard?"
