Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 

“Do you know that Rick likes Pearl?” Abby continued when Hugo remained calm, “And Pearl likes Rick too. It’ll be bad for us if they end up together.” 

She was making a calculated bet, suspecting that Hugo had ulterior motives concerning Pearl. 

“I’m not worried because Pearl is my girlfriend now,” Hugo responded, showing no interest in her 

proposition. 

“But I heard Pearl mention transferring someone to another hospital and breaking up with you. Are you sure you can be with her forever?” 

Hearing that, Hugo’s expression changed. “What did you hear?” 

Finally gaining his attention, Abby pressed on. “I think you should consider working with me so we can get what we both want.” 

She wanted Richard, and Hugo wanted Pearl. Their collaboration would certainly be a win-win situation. 

As expected, Hugo flashed her a smile. “Okay, let’s work together… since you put it that way.” 

Slowly, he extended his hand towards Abby, who chuckled and shook hands with him. 

An uninvited guest arrived at Pearl’s ward the next morning. 

Pearl couldn’t help but feel on edge as she observed the woman who bore a slight resemblance to Abby. 

“You are?” 

“I’m Blair Dixon, Abby’s mother.” Looking elegant and noble, Blair sounded quite refined. 

“May I know why you’re here?” Pearl inquired, her suspicions growing due to Blair’s confident and smiling 

demeanor. 

She had a bad feeling about this, assuming that Blair must be a difficult person if she had raised a daughter like Abby. 

“Obviously, I’m here for Abby. I understand that she has caused you a lot of trouble due to her infatuation with Richard. However, the Waldorf and Flores families are close friends, and Abby and Richard have been childhood sweethearts. Everyone hopes to see them together. But now you’ve entered the picture, and Richard doesn’t even care about Abby anymore…” 

If Pearl couldn’t comprehend Blair’s intentions by now, she would be playing dumb. 

“So, you want me to leave Richard so your daughter can be with him, right?” Pearl cut to the chase. 

Blair smiled and replied, “I know you’re smart, but I won’t let you suffer either. How about this? Name your price. My family is willing to pay any amount as long as you leave Richard alone.” 

Any amount?
