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 … ”
