Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 

Security quickly arrived, ready to escort Abby to the police station, but Susan intervened. 

“Let her go. I don’t have the heart to do this.” Despite everything, Susan’s compassion for the girl she had cherished for over 

a decade remained. 

“Our relationship ends here, Abby. Don’t you ever step foot in our home again.” Hugo, with an edge to his voice, added, ” 

Throw her out and make sure she doesn’t come back.” 

“Yes, sir.” The guard dragged Abby away, leaving a tense silence in her wake. 

Pearl checked Susan’s neck, which was still bleeding, and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you alright, Madam?” 

“It’s just a scratch. I’ll be okay.” Susan said, touched by Pearl’s worry. “Pearl, I realize my past mistakes. I promise not to come between you and Richard. And if he ever wrongs you, I’ll set him straight.” She then shot Richard a stern glance as a warning. 

“What should we tell the Flores family then?” Richard asked. He and Abby had an arranged marriage since they were children, and now after what Abby did, there was no way they were going to go through with it. 

Susan huffed, “Considering how well they’ve raised their daughter, I doubt they’d say a word once they hear about her actions. I’ll deal with them.” 

Hugo clenched his fist, frustrated by how the events had made Richard and Pearl’s relationship stronger. 

“Madam, you’re probably not fully recovered yet since you just woke up. We’ll leave you to rest,” Pearl said, noticing Susan still looking pale. 

Susan nodded tiredly and laid back down. 

Outside, in the tranquility of the garden, Hugo smiled and said, “I guess you can be openly together now.” 

“It’s none of your business.” Pearl rolled her eyes, annoyed with his tone. 

Hugo lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes. “Because I like you too. Now that you two are together, where does that leave me?” 

Pearl retorted, “Enough with the games, Hugo. It’s getting old.” 

Hugo didn’t care about her-he was only interested in the benefits he could get from her. Although he had no idea what they could be yet, he kept persistently chasing her. Pearl knew things were as simple as they seemed. 

But Hugo was undeterred. “It’s not a game. In over two decades, my heart has only been drawn to one. Don’t just brush me off. 

Hugo didn’t make clear what he liked about Pearl but his eyes lingered.
