Chapter 38
In the banquet hall, when Jordan and the others saw Brielle leave, they also planned to leave.
Suddenly, a reporter’s voice came from below the stage. “When the press conference first began, you swore that what you said at that time was the truth. You did not harm Brielle. Instead, it was Brielle who had always harmed you and targeted you. If you lie, kneel down and slap your mouth.”
“Now it proves that you all lied. Should you fulfill your vows?”
The other reporters chimed in.
“I almost forgot. Fortunately, someone remembers.”
“Hurry up and fan it. Don’t waste everyone’s time!”
“Your character is already so bad. Don’t tell me you want to add another label that goes
back on your
words?”
Everyone on the stage: “…”
Originally, there were still people who wanted to act shamelessly, but the reporters blocked their path of retreat. They couldn’t do anything even if they wanted to.
Jordan was already kneeling on the ground. He raised his hand and slapped himself on the face,
Pa!
Ten slaps were very heavy, and their faces were swollen.
When the others saw this, they could only kneel in shame and slap themselves in the face.
After they finished slapping each other, the director said hypocritically, “Oh, that was just a joke. Why are you serious?”
“Alright, this time’s press conference is over. Everyone, go home!”
The director asked the staff to bring their phones to them, and everyone gave them a charger.
Jordan stood up from the ground and walked out in a daze.
The reporters below the stage surrounded them and wanted to interview them.
Although their popularity was not as high as Brielle’s, they were still topics and could still attract a lot of traffic.
The five of them were surrounded.
Even if they did not answer the questions, the reporters still surrounded them.
Finally, the director asked the staff to help open the way and they were able to leave the hotel.
Jordan walked quickly in front, and Pearl trotted behind.
“Third Brother, wait for me. You said you would protect me. How can you leave me alone…” Pearl asked in a tearful voice.
When Jordan heard her words, his face became more and more ugly, and his footsteps became faster.
She almost killed him, how could she have the face to ask him to protect her?
There were many cars parked on the roadside outside the wine shop.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
After Jordan walked out, a business car stopped in front of him.
The car door opened, and the figures of his eldest brother and second brother appeared in the car.
Robert said, “Third brother, get in the car.”
Jordan quickly got in the car.
At this moment, Pearl also ran over. She also wanted to get in the car, but she was kicked out by Jordan.
“Get the hell out of my sight, you vicious woman. Don’t follow me, and don’t come near me in the future!” Jordan scolded angrily.
Pearl was kicked to the ground, and tears gushed our in an instant. She said sadly. “Third brother, I am your sister who you have doted on for twenty years. Don’t tell me that you won’t recognize me just because of this small matter?”
Jordan was so angry that his chest heaved violently.
He almost lost his life. Was this still a small matter?
Third brother, calm down. If there is anything, we can talk about it when we get back.” Robert patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
Then, he looked at Pearl, who was sitting on the ground. “You come up too. Mom and Dad are still waiting at home.”
Pearl was so happy that she immediately got up and got into the car.
Jordan wanted to stop him, but he was firmly held down by Robert. “Jordan, don’t make trouble.”
Jordan said angrily, “Second brother, didn’t you watch the live broadcast? Don’t you know what she did in the past seven. days?”
“I saw it,” Robert said.
Jordan roared, “Since you have seen it, you should already know that she wants me to die, right? Why did you let her get on the car and come home with us?”
“I have always treated her as my own sister. I treated her better than anyone else, but she treated me like this. She is just an ingrate wolf. Why do you want her to go back?”
When Pearl heard this, she cried until her eyes were filled with tears. She explained aggrievedly, “Third brother, you misunderstood me…”
“Shut up. There is no truth in your mouth. I don’t want to hear your explanation. Get out of the car now!” Jordan interrupted Pearl angrily.
Pearl bit her lips and looked at Roman and Robert with tears in her eyes. “Big brother, second brother, you don’t believe me either. Are you going to drive me away?”
Roman said, “Stop arguing. Let’s talk when we get home. Mom and Dad asked us to bring both of you home.”
Jordan wanted to speak.
Roman stopped him. “Jordan, calm down first. Don’t talk. Mom and Dad have also watched the live broadcast. They all know what happened in the forest. Let’s talk about it when we go home.”
Jordan gritted her teeth and did not speak anymore.
Pearl was very flustered.
Mom and Dad had also watched the live broadcast. How was she going to get away with it?
The journey was silent. Half an hour later, the car stopped at the door of Galley family’s villa.

The three brothers and Pearl entered the villa together.
Brooks and Sarah were sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking like they had been waiting for a long time.
When Pearl saw them, she knelt down with a “plop” sound.
She cried and said, “Mom, Dad, I’m sorry. I did something wrong in the forest and hurt Third Brother. Please forgive me!”
“Pa!”
Sarah slapped her face hard. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking. Her voice was also trembling. “We gave our own flesh and blood a cold shoulder for you. Is this how you repay us?”
“Your third brother is the best person to you among everyone, but you actually ordered him around like a slave. When he was sick, you ignored him. Even when he was in danger, you stopped others from saving him. You wanted him to die!”
“You don’t even have the heart? How can you do such a thing? Are you worthy of Jordan? Are you worthy of us?”
“You are really a thankless wretch. We have doted on you for so many years!”
As Sarah spoke, she cried angrily.
She raised her hand and wanted to continue hitting Pearl.
However, before she could wave her hand, Brooks grabbed her wrist and scolded her angrily, “Enough, stop messing
around!”
“Can you be more steady? Don’t act like a shrew.”
Sarah said angrily, “Our son was almost killed by this white–eyed wolf. I just wanted to seek justice for our son. What did I do?”
“Do you want our son to be bullied for nothing”
Brooks said with a sullen face, “As I said before, Pearl had gone crazy because of the stimulation. That was why her personality was so different from her usual self. That was why she had made some extreme moves.”
“Pearl did not do it on purpose. She was also in great pain. Look at how sad and regretful. She already knows that she was wrong and has already apologized. Don’t hold on to her.”
Sarah looked at Brooks in disbelief. Her voice trembled as she said, “What are you talking about? She almost killed our son and tried to murder our biological daughter. Are you still defending her”
Brooks frowned and scolded him unhappily, “Don’t make it sound so bad. The person who almost killed Jordan when he was in danger is Brielle, not Pearl!”
“Even if Pearl really deliberately prevented others from saving Jordan, it was not her who harmed Jordan. The culprit is
Brielle!”
“In the future, be a little too smart before you speak. Don’t be influenced by the public opinion on the Internet. We have to have the ability to think independently!”
“Do you believe it when others say that Pearl is hypocritical and malicious? They have never been in contact with Pearl. What do they know? We have lived with Pearl for twenty years. Don’t you know what kind of person Pearl is?”
Sarah’s face alternated between green and red.
Pearl hurriedly went down the slope and said, “Dad understands me the most.”
“Mom, just as Dad said, I was wronged and provoked too much, causing my brain to be muddled. I can’t even remember what I did in the forest. Many things were not what I really wanted to do. I was mentally deranged and could not control my
own actions and thoughts, so I did something wrong and said something I should not have said…”
“However, although I did not do those things out of subjective consciousness, after all, I also hurt third brother. I am willing to accept punishment. As long as you are willing to forgive me, I can do anything!”
As she spoke, she began to cry again, crying sadly and with a face full of regret.
It looked as if she was really innocent.
Jordan said angrily, “Dad, don’t argue for her. She is very clear–headed, and her mind is not abnormal at all. She is pure bad, just like her nanny mother. She is born with a cheap child. She can’t even compare to Brielle’s toes!”
“Pa!”
and
Brooks stood up and slapped Jordan hard. He scolded, “Pearl is your sister. How can you say that to her? Have you forgotten that you said before that no matter what happens, you will always protect and protect Pearl?”
“She wants me to die, and you still want me to protect her?” Jordan covered his face and looked at his father in disbelief.
Brooks said matter–of–factly, “A man must keep his word. Since you said that you will love her no matter what happens, you can’t care about what she has done to you.”
“Moreover, I’ve already said that Pearl had a mental disorder due to the stimulation, so she did something wrong. She is not bad at heart.”
Jordan was so angry that he could not speak.
He turned and went upstairs angrily, not wanting to stay here to be bullied.
Roman and Robert said at the same time, “I’ll go comfort my third brother.”
Sarah snorted and followed him upstairs.
Only Brooks and Pearl were left in the living room.
“Don’t cry. I won’t let them drive you away.” Brooks reached out to help Pearl up.
“Woo, Dad.” Pearl threw herself into Brooks‘ arms and hugged him tightly. “My image has been ruined, and my reputation. has become worse. What should I do in the future?” she cried, aggrieved.
Brooks said, “You still have a father. Daddy will take care of you for the rest of your life.”
Pearl sobbed in grievance.
Brooks looked at his daughter in his arms, his eyes dark and gloomy. He said, “Come to the study room with me and tell me what you have suffered.”
Pearl choked and nodded.
The two went to the study room.
Brooks closed the door of the study room and locked it.
Then, he pressed Pearl onto the book table….
