Chapter 493
Pearl caught the boy’s malicious glare, her eyes narrowing warily.
Aria withdrew her gaze. “Let’s go,” she said curtly.
Having watched the whole scene, the reception staff stood there, shocked.
‘Our boss is such a badass,‘ they sighed inwardly.
Owen turned around, his expression darkening. Noticing this, Aria lowered her voice and asked, “Is Tom Anabel’s father?”
Owen replied, “Yes, Tom has two children. His eldest son, Quincy, is thirty–two, around the same age as Kim. He has already begun taking over the Shaw Group.
“Anabel’s mother is a scientist. She’s always so busy that she hardly ever comes home, maybe once a year. That’s why Anabel was born much later.”
Having met Tom once, Aria still remembered his face. “That kid does look a bit like him,” she mused.
‘He also looks a bit like Isaac,‘ Aria thought.
Owen instinctively reached out to ruffle her hair, but withdrew his hand when he remembered he hadn’t washed up yet. “Let Quincy look into it. They should handle their family affairs themselves,” he said.
“Okay,” Aria replied.
The suite Clayton arranged for them was a four–person room, with floor–to–ceiling windows covering one entire wall, making the whole space bright and
warm.
Lily and Pearl shared a room, while Aria took the one next door. Owen chose the room directly across from Aria’s.
The butler said respectfully, “Ms. Saxon, we’re on standby 24 hours a day. Should you need anything, call the direct line.”
“Okay,” Aria replied. “We’ll rest for half a day first. Please have some food sent over. Clayton knows our dietary preferences.”
“Got it, Ms. Saxon,” the butler replied.
After the butler left, Aria turned to Owen. “You’ve been driving for hours. Go get some good rest first.”
Owen said gently, “Alright, see you tonight.”.
“See you tonight,” Aria replied.
After dinner, Lily and Pearl lounged on the balcony, enjoying the evening breeze.
After resting idly for some time, Pearl felt bored, so she rose and drifted to the balcony. Her eyes met the expanse of a gleaming pool below.
Pearl pulled out her phone and zoomed in to get a closer look. Soon, two familiar figures appeared on the screen, the mother and son they’d encountered earlier.
“Observing people again?” Lily walked over to Pearl and leaned in to peek at her phone. “See anything interesting?”
When she saw the two people on Pearl’s phone/screen, Lily said in disgust, “Oh, it’s them.”
In her free time, Pearl enjoyed observing people around her, imagining what kind of people they might be.
Lily noticed Pearl’s little habit not long after they met.

On the screen, the boy suddenly got into a conflict with a little girl and, shockingly, tried to force her underwater.
“What the hell is he doing?” Lily nearly jumped out of her seat in fury.
Fortunately, the little girl’s spotted
what was happening in time and rushed over, yanking her daughter to safety.
Seeing her son lose out, Eileen immediately stormed toward the other mother to confront her.
Lily let out a cold laugh. “That
s gonna grow up to be a total menace.”
Pearl nodded in agreement.
For dinner, Clayton had arranged a private dining room for them.
As Pearl was heading to the restroom, a small figure suddenly rushed at her from the side and shoved his hand into her pocket, searching for something “Where’s the gold pendant?” the boy asked. “Why isn’t it there?”
Pearl snapped, “Back off!”
The boy grabbed her and snarled, “Give me the gold pendant, or I’ll have my dad smash your bones and drain you dry.”
Pearl stopped dead, her gaze sweeping the surroundings.
She realized it was a camera blind spot there.
Pearl looked down and asked coolly, “Where’s your mom?”
“My mom’s eating,” the boy said casually.
Pearl crouched down to meet his eyes and, with deceptive gentleness, asked, “You want my gold pendant that badly?”
“Yes,” the boy replied.
Pearl’s eyes curved into a gentle, innocent smile as she asked softly, “What’s your name?”
“Silas Shaw,” the little boy replied.
Pearl reached out and gently stroked his head, her voice soft and soothing. “Want the gold pendant? You can have it. Just relax, Look into my eyes…”
