Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 

Puzzled, Pearl asked, “They want to see me?” 

The housekeeper nodded, describing, “There are over ten men who look like b*dyguards, dressed in fine attire. I have a feeling they’re not your average folks.” 

Suddenly, a daring idea dawned on Pearl. “Please go and see what they want, Miss Pearl.” 

Pearl nodded and went out, concerned about causing undue trouble for the Waldorfs. 

When the leader of the group spotted Pearl, a smile appeared on his otherwise cold face. “You must be Miss Pearl, correct? Mister Allan has an appointment with you and sent me to escort you.” 

Pearl recollected that she had agreed to visit the Jordans in a few days, but her plans had been delayed by a month due to her recent busy schedule. 

With a chuckle, she replied, “You must be the butler. I’m genuinely sorry, but I can’t now because I have some pressing matters to attend to.”

The butler smiled back. “Not to worry, Miss Pearl. Mister Allan mentioned that I should persuade you to accompany me even if you 

decline.” 

It was evident that Pearl was expected to go, regardless of her wishes. Frowning, she felt that this wasn’t Allan’s usual style. 

Furthermore, since the butler worked for the Jordans, it was likely that the decision was influenced by other members of the family, perhaps even her grandfather, whom she had 

never met. 

Pearl’s expression turned inscrutable, her eyes narrowing. “Are you trying to force me?” 

However, the butler remained unfazed. He glanced around and proposed, “Could we have some privacy? I need to speak with you alone.” 

But his request was met with Richard’s cold and blunt response. “These are all members of the Waldorf family. Moreover, Pearl is my fiancee, and she’s considered a Waldorf as well. There’s nothing they can’t hear.” 

The housekeeper was taken aback by this revelation. “Miss Pearl, how could you casually get engaged to someone else?” 

Pearl found the butler’s reaction old-fashioned and irritating. “I’m sure it’s none of your business. Just get straight to the point.” She didn’t want to waste time beating around the bush. 

“Master Jordan is insistent on your return with us, or we’ll be punished. I’m sure you don’t want us to resort to extreme measures to force you, do you?” It was clearly an open threat. 

Unperturbed by the butler’s intentions, Pearl remained silent, but Richard was incensed. He glared coldly at him and spoke in a frigid tone, “Try anything, and you’ll regret it.” 

Sensing Richard’s formidable presence, the butler’s heart skipped a beat, realizing it was unwise to provoke him. Hence, he softened his tone. “I believe none of us want to see a conflict, Miss Pearl.”
