Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1379

At the mention of Luther, Nina's eyes filled with sadness. "I was only gone for six years, and your mom has already caught his attention… Do you think she's good enough for my brother?"

Darius didn't really understand what she was implying, but her wild laughter made it clear there was tension between her and Luther. He managed to overcome his fear and responded, "My mom doesn't even like Uncle Luther, and she's definitely not going to marry him."

Nina's mood brightened momentarily, but then suspicion clouded her expression. "Don't think you can fool me by lying. I know you've lived with him for four years, and your mom has always been close to my brother. He even proposed to her in front of everyone."

Nina recalled how she had spiraled into anger when she read the headline: [President of Luther Corp. proposed to an employee at Linowa Coast. They were secretly dating.]

What a joke that was.

If it hadn't been for the public proposal caught by journalists, she might never have known. The thought of her brother loving someone else was unbearable.

Six years earlier, at eighteen, she had been in Luther's bed, naked, waiting to thank him for his kindness and express her intention to stay by his side forever as his wife.

But when he walked in, his words were like a slap in her face. He had no feelings for her and even called her shameless.

Humiliated, she collected her clothes, left in tears, and fled the country the next day. Officially, she was going abroad to study, but really, it was to escape her feelings for him, which haunted her every day.
