He remains vilgent

Although he really loved his wife, and It was both mentally and financially taxing to keep taps of Perl 24-7, he could never bring himself to trust her to drop his guard fully, so he continued to check her location at least five times a day, and he ALWAYS had someone secretly tailing her. Perl was well aware of her husband's constant efforts to keep track of her. She knew every action she made was being watched, and it hurt her to her core that she could never regain his trust enough to have her freedom back.

But due to this, she spent the rest of her time trying to regain Richards's trust.
