Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 

Surprisingly, Hugo threw in some nice words for Pearl. “Just take a look at it, Mom. What if you got her Wrong? You would have accused her wrongly.” 

However, his words earned him a glare from Susan. Susan didn’t expect that Hugo, who was usually gentle and peace-loving, would say those words. He even took Pearl’s side. 

His support left Susan in a sour mood. 

Hanzel couldn’t bear to see Pearl unjustly accused. “Mom, don’t make baseless accusations. How could Pearl 

be Dad’s child?” 

Mobius chimed in as well, “Yeah, Mom. I’m sure Pearl’s mother wasn’t that kind of person.” 

Even Sean, despite his silence, couldn’t fathom why his mother was causing such a scene. 

As a result, Susan perceived Pearl as a manipulative woman who had deceived her sons and sowed doubt in 

their minds. 

“Madam, my mother was a kind and honest woman who is now missing. I can’t stand by and let her be falsely accused. Please conduct a thorough investigation into this matter,” Pearl asserted, pushing the DNA report toward Susan. 

Reluctantly, Susan paused and picked up the report to examine it. All she needed to see was that Pearl was not Richard’s biological sister to know that her scheme had failed. 

“So, Madam, was I right? Mister Dustan is not my father,” Pearl queried. 

Susan hesitated and stammered, “But… What if it’s true? Dustan was in love with your mother. Even if you’re not his child, how could you be dating Rick?” 

Hugo was taken aback by Susan’s statement. He knew it was impossible. He had manipulated the DNA test results. The report should have indicated that Pearl and Richard were siblings. 

Furthermore, Pearl wouldn’t have had the time or motivation to arrange for a second DNA test, and Hugo 

had indeed tampered with the results. 

Hugo found himself grappling with an unsettling notion. Perhaps either he or Richard was not truly a Waldorf by blood. 

This thought made him break out in a cold sweat. If Richard was not a Waldorf, it could mean the end of his ascension to power. 

However, if it turned out to be him, marrying Pearl would secure his position as the head of the Waldorfs, preserving all his hard work and ambition. 

This realization compelled Hugo to keep his tampering with the report a secret and console Susan. “It’s alright, Mom. Pearl is engaged to our family and will be a part of it in the future. If you insist on this, it’ll seem like she can’t marry any of your sons.” 

Susan, upon recognizing her wrong statement, paused and sighed.
