Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 181

Security quickly arrived, ready to escort Abby to the police station, but Susan intervened.

“Let her go. I don’t have the heart to do this.” Despite everything, Susan’s compassion for the girl she

had cherished for over

a decade remained.

“Our relationship ends here, Abby. Don’t you ever step foot in our home again.” Hugo, with an edge to

his voice, added, ”

Throw her out and make sure she doesn’t come back.”

“Yes, sir.” The guard dragged Abby away, leaving a tense silence in her wake.

Pearl checked Susan’s neck, which was still bleeding, and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you alright,

Madam?”

“It’s just a scratch. I’ll be okay.” Susan said, touched by Pearl’s worry. “Pearl, I realize my past

mistakes. I promise not to come between you and Richard. And if he ever wrongs you, I’ll set him

straight.” She then shot Richard a stern glance as a warning.

“What should we tell the Flores family then?” Richard asked. He and Abby had an arranged marriage

since they were children, and now after what Abby did, there was no way they were going to go

through with it.

Susan huffed, “Considering how well they’ve raised their daughter, I doubt they’d say a word once they

hear about her actions. I’ll deal with them.”

Hugo clenched his fist, frustrated by how the events had made Richard and Pearl’s relationship

stronger.

“Madam, you’re probably not fully recovered yet since you just woke up. We’ll leave you to rest,” Pearl

said, noticing Susan still looking pale. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Susan nodded tiredly and laid back down.

Outside, in the tranquility of the garden, Hugo smiled and said, “I guess you can be openly together

now.”

“It’s none of your business.” Pearl rolled her eyes, annoyed with his tone.

Hugo lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes. “Because I like you too. Now that you two are

together, where does that leave me?”

Pearl retorted, “Enough with the games, Hugo. It’s getting old.”

Hugo didn’t care about her-he was only interested in the benefits he could get from her. Although he

had no idea what they could be yet, he kept persistently chasing her. Pearl knew things were as simple

as they seemed.

But Hugo was undeterred. “It’s not a game. In over two decades, my heart has only been drawn to one.

Don’t just brush me off.

Hugo didn’t make clear what he liked about Pearl but his eyes lingered.

“Why don’t you tell me what you want from me? I might be able to help you with it.”

Hugo pretended he didn’t hear that and asked, “Would you marry me?”

Exasperated, Pearl chose to disengage from the conversation.

At that moment, Richard stepped in, placing a protective arm around Pearl. “She’s going to be your

sister-in-law soon, so stay away from her.”

Hugo scoffed. “Sister-in-law? We’ll see.”
