"Mobius, call the police. Leave the rest to me."

Richard recalled the scene of Pearl smashing a wine bottle on that man’s head the other day and soon calmed down. She surely would not let herself be easily hurt.

"Okay, Rick."

Mobius knew that Richard had always been swift and decisive. Although he blamed Pearl for worrying others, he nodded and did as instructed.

Richard drove to Mobius’s university and retrieved the surveillance footage from around the back entrance of the university. At five in the evening, he finally found Pearl in the footage. She had entered a shop and came back out with a black plastic bag before heading toward a public restroom, and there was a figure in blue following her from behind.

It meant that the last place she had been was the restroom.

Richard’s eyes turned dull and rushed toward that place with his men. It was now six, so there were very few passer

Richard looked down at Pearl, who was in his arms. She looked to be in pain, covered all over in injuries. He quickly rushed her to the hospital. And as they were family, he brought her straight to Hugo's office.

After Hugo attentively inspected Pearl, he frowned.

"What's wrong with her? Is she severely hurt?" As Richard observed Pearl curl up in pain, his expression turned solemn.

"She sustained several heavy injuries and a slight concussion." Hugo cleared his throat. "But she’s in this much pain because she's on her period and is feeling weak.”

Richard's ears turned red when he heard Pearl was on her period, but he maintained a neutral expression. "Is there any way to relieve her pain?" 

Hugo put both hands in his pocket and shrugged. "No, she just has to bear it. All right, I have a surgery to get to. You can stay and help her with the hospitalization procedures. Her injuries wil

“Really? And who are you? Does Mobius even know you? Do you deserve him?"

The woman's face stiffened before she sneered. "How dare you come to the university with Mobius. We’ll put you in your place!”

When Mobius learned that Pearl was being ambushed at the washroom, he reluctantly went there. If not for his father, he would ignore her. However, he was shocked when he arrived at the washroom.

Melissa Kirk and her friends were known bullies. They loved bullying others by relying on their powerful family backgrounds. But at that moment, they were running out of the washroom, their faces bearing red slap marks and their hair a wet mess.

Mobius' frowned as Pearl came out calmly. Dressed in a black T-shirt and sporting a high ponytail, she looked young and trendy. She looked unscathed too.

"Those girls..." Mobius glanced at Melissa and the others who were running away.

"They wanted to beat me up, so I hit them." 

Mobius knew that Melissa practiced boxing.

Pearl said nonchalantly, "I never imagined you’d have so many admirers when you're just so-so. Those admirers of yours are so dumb and vulgar."

Tongue-tied, Mobius decided to not argue with her.

Afternoon came, and no one else had come to find trouble with Pearl. The last period was physical education. She sat by the field and watched a few young men play basketball.

After a while, she felt an ache in her abdomen. She frowned. ‘Shoot! I forgot I’m getting my period today.' 

Pearl was generally fearless, but the one thing she feared was her period. Every time her period came, she would be in excruciating pain.

Holding onto her stomach, she slowly got up and left the basketball court. She quickly went to a store at the entrance of the university. However, she did not notice someone following her.

When Richard finished his work, his assistant entered the office. 

“Sir, the person who broke your record at Death Valley last night was Miss Pearl."

"Who?" Richard looked up.

"Miss Pearl."

Richard had always been indifferent toward her, but now, he was amazed. ‘Pearl? But wasn't she with Hugo yesterday?’

Car racing was Richard's hobby, so he was curious about the person who broke the record that he held for over a year. Hence, he asked his assistant to investigate it after arriving at the office.

‘Pearl sure is a miracle worker.’ Richard smiled.

At this moment, his phone rang.

"Rick, Pearl’s missing!"

Mobius realized that Pearl was gone after he finished playing basketball, and she was not picking up his calls. When called home and inquired with the helpers, they told him that Pearl had not gone home. Mobius did not dare to tell his father about this, so he called Richard. 

Hearing this, Richard's expression fell.

"Mobius, call the police. Leave the rest to me."

Richard recalled the scene of Pearl smashing a wine bottle on that man’s head the other day and soon calmed down. She surely would not let herself be easily hurt.

"Okay, Rick."

Mobius knew that Richard had always been swift and decisive. Although he blamed Pearl for worrying others, he nodded and did as instructed.

It meant that the last place she had been was the restroom.

Richard’s eyes turned dull and rushed toward that place with his men. It was now six, so there were very few passersby. When they approached, they could hear a woman's grim laughter.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Why didn't you res
