Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 

Playing chess… 

Abby suddenly had an idea, knowing her own proficiency in chess. She suggested excitedly, “Could you introduce me to your mentor? I’d like the great doctor to treat my grandma, who has asthma.” 

However, Pearl, seeing Abby’s enthusiasm, sneered as she sensed ulterior motives behind the request. “I don’t think he can treat your grandma. He’s always very busy.” 

Gnashing her teeth, Abby persisted, “I’ll pay him a lot.” 

“He won’t go even if you pay him a lot,” Pearl replied coldly. 

“Pearl… I just want that great doctor to see my grandma. I’m not trying to snatch your mentor. Please don’t misunderstand.” While talking, Abby slowly bowed her head, looking aggrieved. 

“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, Miss Abby. The problem is, finding him is quite difficult, and he’s really too busy to treat your grandma.” After that, Pearl took out her phone and made a call. “Hello.” 

“Oh, Pea. You finally remember your mentor, huh? Well, listen. I lost terribly in a chess game yesterday and added my opponent’s social media account. Do you know who that opponent was? He’s our national chess player. What a promising youth- 

But Pearl couldn’t be bothered. She interrupted him and said, “I didn’t call you to chat. Someone needs you to treat her grandma. Are you interested?” 

Baffled, Simon replied, “I taught you everything I know. You could just treat that patient yourself and mention my name.”

Glancing at Abby, Pearl smiled and added, “But I can’t do that because she specifically wants you.”

Stunned, Simon asked tentatively, “Is she your friend or relative?” 

Pearl looked at the nervous and eager Abby and replied calmly, “No, she’s an acquaintance, that’s all.” 

Simon’s tone changed. “Ah, then you don’t need to involve me. I’m swamped with work, and I can’t take on any patients. You should suggest she find another doctor.” Then, he suddenly exclaimed, “Pea, he’s challenging me to another chess match. I’ll hang up now.” 

Pearl was struck speechless. 

Abby didn’t expect Pearl to put her in such an awkward position. After cursing Simon inwardly, she wore a pitiful look. “You don’t really want your mentor to help me, do you? That’s why you said we’re acquaintances, isn’t it?” 

Shrugging, Pearl answered, “No, we’re actually strangers.” Then, recalling her intention to move out of the Waldorfs’ residence, she added, “Oh, I need to go back and pack up my things. Please take good care of Madam.” 

Unexpectedly, Richard interjected, “No, you can’t.” 

Pearl turned to him. “Why not? Do I need your approval to leave, Richard?” 

Richard calmly replied, “My mother’s illness has something to do with you. If something goes wrong, you 

have to answer for it.”
