Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 

“Aren’t you feeling rather proud and superior, Pearl? Why are you pretending to be weak now? How disgusting!” Abby grabbed a handful of Pearl’s hair and yanked her forcefully. “Listen closely. This is what you deserve. A person like you should 

rot in hell!” 

The pain was so intense that Pearl almost shed tears. “Abby, you…” 

“Enough! Every time you say my name, it makes me want to kill you even more.” Abby took a sharp dagger from her pocket and waved it menacingly in front of Pearl. “I’ve coated this blade with poison, and just a single cut can kill you. Do you want to 

Abby’s words were abruptly cut off as someone forcefully kicked open the door. 

Startled, Abby turned her gaze toward the intruder, confusion filling her face as she didn’t expect to see Hanzel standing there. 

“It’s you, Abby!” 

Hanzel, having received Pearl’s distress signal, postponed the shoot and rushed to the scene. He had arrived quickly but was taken aback to find that it was the obedient-looking Abby who had kidnapped Pearl. 

“What’s wrong? Are you very surprised to see me?” Abby was now too impatient to keep up the pretense. Indifferently and impatiently, she admitted, “It’s how I was supposed to be.” 

Hanzel glanced around and found two menacing-looking men in the distance. They looked like they knew some martial arts. Furthermore, Abby was armed with a dagger. Charging recklessly could get Pearl hurt, so he hesitated to make a move. 

Pearl, seeing that it was Hanzel, experienced an inexplicable sense of disappointment for some reason. Her worry for him 

urged her to say, “Just go, Hanzel. Don’t stay here. It’s dangerous.” 

“Is there anything more dangerous than you being kidnapped, Pearl?” Hanzel looked at Pearl and asked seriously. 

“That’s enough. I don’t have time to listen to you discuss which is more dangerous.” Squatting down, Abby held the dagger close to Pearl’s face and played with it. “I’m curious to see what’s so enchanting about your pretty face that it could seduce so many men. What will you do if your face is ruined?” 

The dagger neared Pearl’s face, its chilling gleam threatening. 

Suddenly, Abby raised the dagger, ready to stab Pearl. 

Hanzel acted swiftly, rushing forward and kicking Abby’s back. The unexpected impact sent Abby stumbling forward uncontrollably. 

Abby’s sudden fall gave Pearl a chance to stand up and shake off the rope, having secretly cut it earlier.
