Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168 

“It’s okay now. Let’s go.” 

Richard was about to drive away when Brandon suddenly appeared fierce, standing nearby. 

Brandon rushed over and reached into Richard’s car through the window, opening the car door. With force, he managed to drag Pearl out of the car. 

“I’m going to die anyway. I might as well take someone else down with me!” He pulled out a knife and pressed it against 

Pearl’s neck 

His actions prompted an immediate change in Richard’s expression. 

“What are you doing, Brandon?” 

“Scared now, aren’t you? You were so smug just a moment ago, Richard. I didn’t expect you to end up like this today!” He pressed the knife closer to Pearl’s neck, leaving a bloody mark. “You’re going to suffer with me soon, Richard. Ha! Ha! Ha!” 

In response, Pearl kicked Brandon’s knee while he was momentarily distracted. 

Feeling the pain, Brandon let go and dropped his knife on the ground. At the same time, Richard kicked his chest, sending him flying three meters away. 

“That’s very dangerous,” Richard scolded Pearl after her sudden move. “If something happened to you when he had the knife at your neck, you would be rushed to the hospital by now.” 

Raising her brows, Pearl asked, “What’s wrong? Worried that I would take such a risk? I’m not that stupid, Richard.” 

Looking down, Richard acknowledged that she was right. She was more careful than he was. 

The victim pressed Brandon on the ground and kicked him. “What are you doing? How dare you harm her! I’m going to kill you!” 

Brandon vomited blood because of the kick “Don’t… Don’t kill me!” 

As the fear of death gripped Brandon, he realized that he was genuinely frightened, but it was too late to turn back now. 

The man landed a heavy punch on Brandon, who couldn’t even scream because his mouth was sealed. 

Finally, the street was cleared. 

Richard watched the scene unfold calmly. “Come on. Let me drive you to Cerubleu.” 

Pearl nodded and joined him, but as she got into the car, complex emotions suddenly hit her. 

“What’s wrong?” Richard asked, noticing a shift in her expression. 

“Brandon is just reaping what he’s sown, given all the bad things he’s done. But I suddenly find him rather pitiful. I don’t know why.” 

Richard consoled her, “It’s okay. If he’s gone, we’ve gotten rid of a villain.” 

Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked it up, gave a brief response, and then ended the call.
