This was nothing short of a blatant threat. "If you're not willing to accept these terms, then I'm afraid your granddaughter will

remain with us," Richard stated.

Howard couldn't help but laugh, struck by the audacity of the young man before him. "You've outdone yourself, young man. Your

cunning surpasses even mine."

"Thank you, but I'd say I'm just being thorough."

Howard, assessing the situation, realized the strategic disadvantage of siding with Hugo over Richard. Hugo, though intelligent,

lacked Richard's foresight and cunning.

Besides, Richard stated that there can be no collaboration, not limiting any communication. There were still plenty of opportunities

to exploit this loophole.

After a moment of deliberation, Howard agreed. "Very well, we have a deal."

Richard, prepared as ever, pulled a contract from his bag with a flourish. "Let's formalize our agreement. Please review and sign

this document.”

Howard, feeling his blood pressure surge, saw no immediate escape. He had anticipated leveraging his agreement to secure his

granddaughter's release, finding a loophole later. Richard's readiness, however, with a contract in hand, caught him off guard.

"lI don't have a pen..." Howard said, stalling for time.

Richard, unfazed, offered him a pen. "No problem, I've got one right here."

The moment felt like a trap snapping shut for Howard, who, with a resigned sigh, accepted the pen and signed the document.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mister Howard. I'll hold onto this contract. | trust you'll honor our agreement," Richard said,

checking the contract and making sure everything was fine before putting it away.

He then suggested, "It would be best if you could pick up Winona from Waldorf Residence. And, of course, please bring Pearl's

mother with you."

Feeling disgruntled, Howard spoke impatiently, "When should | cto pick her up?"

"That depends on how soon you wish to see your granddaughter. If it's urgent, you're welcto cby today. Otherwise, we

can ensure she's well cared for until you're ready."

Pearl couldn't help but giggle as Richard shamelessly said these things, which left Howard at a loss for words.

"Then I'll be there tonight." With that, Howard angrily stood up and left the room.

The butler obediently followed, shooting a fierce glare at Pearl and Richard as he passed.

Once the door closed behind them, Pearl burst into laughter.
