Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1066

"A scandal? I'm curious about what you think a scandal means." Pearl smiled gently at the woman, which made the woman feel a bit scared.

The woman straightened up. "You know Richard is your cousin, yet you married him. That seems wrong to me."

Anyone could see she was upset when she said that. It was as if Pearl had taken her dream man away by marrying Richard.

"You sound like you're into Richard."

The woman was so shocked by Pearl's comment that she didn't dare to say anything silly, especially with reporters around.

"Richard is a famous rich man in Enswood. Of course, everyone will like him." She didn't directly answer Pearl's question, but it was clear she admired Richard.

"But too bad for you! He wouldn't be interested in you even if he were single."

It was an embarrassing truth. The woman was plain-looking and had said some mean things. Richard would never give her a second glance.

When the reporters heard this juicy bit, they started taking photos.

The woman, afraid of becoming a joke in tomorrow's news, quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Pearl looked over the crowd and asked, "Any more questions?"

"Miss Pearl, there's a rumor that you and Richard are cousins. Will you stay together?"

Finally, someone brought it up.

Pearl smiled kindly. "No, we'll get a divorce. It's too big of a scandal to ignore."
