Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 197

Chapter 197

“Aren’t you feeling rather proud and superior, Pearl? Why are you pretending to be weak now? How

disgusting!” Abby grabbed a handful of Pearl’s hair and yanked her forcefully. “Listen closely. This is

what you deserve. A person like you should

rot in hell!”

The pain was so intense that Pearl almost shed tears. “Abby, you…”

“Enough! Every time you say my name, it makes me want to kill you even more.” Abby took a sharp

dagger from her pocket and waved it menacingly in front of Pearl. “I’ve coated this blade with poison,

and just a single cut can kill you. Do you want to

Abby’s words were abruptly cut off as someone forcefully kicked open the door.

Startled, Abby turned her gaze toward the intruder, confusion filling her face as she didn’t expect to see

Hanzel standing there.

“It’s you, Abby!”

Hanzel, having received Pearl’s distress signal, postponed the shoot and rushed to the scene. He had

arrived quickly but was taken aback to find that it was the obedient-looking Abby who had kidnapped

Pearl.

“What’s wrong? Are you very surprised to see me?” Abby was now too impatient to keep up the

pretense. Indifferently and impatiently, she admitted, “It’s how I was supposed to be.”

Hanzel glanced around and found two menacing-looking men in the distance. They looked like they

knew some martial arts. Furthermore, Abby was armed with a dagger. Charging recklessly could get

Pearl hurt, so he hesitated to make a move. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Pearl, seeing that it was Hanzel, experienced an inexplicable sense of disappointment for some

reason. Her worry for him

urged her to say, “Just go, Hanzel. Don’t stay here. It’s dangerous.”

“Is there anything more dangerous than you being kidnapped, Pearl?” Hanzel looked at Pearl and

asked seriously.

“That’s enough. I don’t have time to listen to you discuss which is more dangerous.” Squatting down,

Abby held the dagger close to Pearl’s face and played with it. “I’m curious to see what’s so enchanting

about your pretty face that it could seduce so many men. What will you do if your face is ruined?”

The dagger neared Pearl’s face, its chilling gleam threatening.

Suddenly, Abby raised the dagger, ready to stab Pearl.

Hanzel acted swiftly, rushing forward and kicking Abby’s back. The unexpected impact sent Abby

stumbling forward uncontrollably.

Abby’s sudden fall gave Pearl a chance to stand up and shake off the rope, having secretly cut it

earlier.

“Our boss is hurt. Hurry! Don’t let that woman escape!”

Louis and Wilhem panicked as they realized Pearl was about to make a run for it. They moved to

intercept her.

But Hanzel knew nothing about martial arts, and Pearl was still weak. They couldn’t defeat the

gangsters at all.

Seeing Pearl’s frailty, Hanzel took the blows for her, shielding her with his own b*dy. But the two men

didn’t go easy on Hanzel and gave him a barrage of blows that left him reeling and on the verge of

losing consciousness.

Lying atop Pearl, Hanzel struggled to speak between labored breaths. “Be careful, Pearl… Watch out…

Don’t let them bully

you…”
