Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275 

410 thousand dollars was nothing to the Sanders. 

Christian didn’t look at her but just blushed. “How could I ask you for money? Have you ever seen a man ask his crush… his cousin for money?” 

“Crush?” Esther was very sensitive to that word and immediately picked up on what he had said. She exclaimed in a shocked voice, “Chris, but you’re my cousin!”

Christian clenched his jaw, frustrated by how agitated she had become. “I’m not your cousin. Your real cousin passed away shortly after birth. I was adopted from an orphanage, and I’ve known about it for a long time.” 

“But we’re still family.”

Christian chased after her closely, and just as he was about to grab her wrist again, a powerful flying kick landed on his chest, sending him sprawling. 

When Esther saw who it was, she burst into tears. Even though the person’s eyes were filled with hatred, he didn’t look menacing. 

“Mobius, I’m scared…” She was barely an adult, so all she could do in this terrifying situation was to worry and feel afraid. 

“It’s fine, I’m here now.” Mobius gently touched her hair while glaring at Christian, who was writhing on the floor. His gaze turned icy. “You’re an animal!”
