Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290 

Following that, Pearl cast a regretful expression in Blake’s direction, though it was purely an 

act. 

The butler pleaded, “Mister Blake, please don’t make this difficult for me. It’s Master Jordan’s order, and I wouldn’t want to face the consequences of failing to fulfill it.” 

Despite his impatience, Blake reluctantly nodded. “Fine.” 

Curious, Pearl wanted to see how Blake would react. “What’s the plan, Mister Blake? How are you going to convince me?” 

“I’m not going to persuade you. Just come with me.” 

Pearl clicked her tongue. “Is that your idea of begging?” 

“I’m not begging you, Pearl!” Blake was almost driven mad, unable to comprehend why he had encountered such an eloquent woman. 

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Why are you in such a rush to take me back?” Pearl dropped her smile and grew genuinely curious. 

Blake pinched the bridge of his nose, battling a headache. “Grandfather wants to see you.’ 

“Is that all?” 

Blake dwelled on it carefully. “He also wants to reunite with you and have you change your last name to Jordan. You’ll become a Jordan.” He then stared at Pearl with disgust. “I don’t understand what he sees in you. He even mentioned that you’re young and capable, saying it’s no wonder you’re a Jordan.” 

Pearl responded with a smile, “Well, he’s flattered me, but he does have keen insight. He’s not as condescending as some people.” 

Disgusted by her comparison, Blake glared at her. “So, what’s your decision?” 

“I won’t be reuniting with your family or changing my last name. I’m a Leighton.” Pearl was resolute. She would not change her last name, considering the hardships her father had endured while raising her. 

Perplexed, Blake couldn’t comprehend her unconventional thinking, as most people would do anything to be associated with the Jordans. Pearl’s lack of interest baffled him. 

Suddenly, he found her less annoying. “Save that for Grandfather.” 

When the butler noticed their disagreement, he interjected, “Please don’t make things difficult for us, Miss Pearl. We’re just following orders. If you continue to resist, I may have to resort to more extreme measures.” 

Unconcerned, Pearl asked, “Are you going to kidnap me?” 

The butler offered a friendly smile. “Of course not. We wouldn’t dare be disrespectful to you, given your noble and elegant stature. However, I’m afraid the Waldorfs might face some inconveniences.” 

He astutely recognized Pearl’s deep attachment to the Waldorfs, which prompted her to
