Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1096

The engagement party was this weekend. Pearl and Richard arrived at the place early, while Esther and James welcomed guests at the door, smiling a lot.

When Esther saw Pearl approaching, she hurried over, holding up the train of her dress, and said, "You're finally here, Pearl."

"You look beautiful today." Pearl smiled back and hugged her.

Esther then whispered, "Remember the guy I told you about? The one who looks familiar? Well, he's here today."

"Oh?" Pearl didn't know what she was getting at, so she wondered why Esther kept mentioning this person.

"Come with me, and you'll see."

Esther asked James to look after the guests, while Richard was deep in conversation with a group of people.

Pearl followed Esther. In the backyard, Esther pointed to a gazebo not far away and said, "See that guy? Doesn't he look familiar?"

Pearl followed her finger and was surprised by what she saw.

Claude, with his distinct slanted eyes, looked sharp in a white suit. He wore a diamond earring that sparkled a little in his right ear. He was chatting with a friend, who was also handsome but slightly less so than Claude.

Claude glanced over, perhaps noticing the gaze on him, creating a slightly eerie atmosphere.
