"Talking about the past won't change anything now that she's gone. Let's discuss something else. If you don't want to talk, it's fine," she suggested, casually biting into an apple from the table. It was sweet and refreshing. No wonder it was something being delivered to the Jordan Residence.

Pearl raised her brows, her smile unfathomable. "I thought you knew me well."

"Very well, then let's talk about your mother."

"I'm all ears," Pearl responded, intrigued.

"I was furious when your mother chose to marry that man. I forbade it and grounded her," Ezra confessed, still seething at the memory. He felt that Pearl's father was poor because the latter didn't even have 40 million dollars.
