Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356 

Pearl turned and smiled. “Richard, the little b*tch wants to eat with us. What do you think? Should we invite her along?” 

Richard draped his jacket on Pearl and said indifferently, “I don’t like eating with a b*tch.” 

After that, he hugged Pearl and led her away. 

“Wait, Pear!!” Watching their backs, Jenny hoped to scratch Pearl’s face so the latter could not seduce Richard. 

At that moment, her phone began to ring. When she saw the caller ID flashing on her screen, the hatred in her eyes gradually gave way to a smile.

At the restaurant, Pearl’s smile faded as she spoke to Richard. “Richard, Jenny mentioned that Hugo wanted to meet up with her. Since when does Hugo show so much interest in a woman?” 

“Before Jenny and I started dating, Hugo would always find excuses to spend time with her. But one day, he came back looking gloomy and stopped going out alone with her after that,” Richard recounted, vaguely recalling that Hugo might have had feelings for Jenny at some point. 

It could be that Hugo never openly expressed his feelings or simply lacked the courage to do 

“I guess Hugo’s frustrations and resentment have been building up over the years,” Pearl mused, about to inquire further into the past when she heard familiar laughter. 

“Oh, there’s my dear brother and Pearl!” Hugo’s voice rang out as he walked over with Jenny. 

Observing them chatting as they walked over, Pearl couldn’t help but think that Hugo and Jenny made a good pair, disregarding Jenny’s ulterior motives regarding Richard. 

“It’s been a while. Why don’t we all sit together?” Hugo suggested politely, reaching for a 

vacant seat. 

Jenny moved to sit down as well, but Pearl interjected, “Did we agree to that? Why are you joining us?” 

She didn’t believe that Hugo wanted to get closer to them. Plus, she suspected he might be seeking retribution for her having secretly taken his ginkgo. 

To her surprise, Hugo paid no attention to her and instead looked past Jenny, smiling broadly. “Here you are. Come and take a seat!” 

Pearl followed Hugo’s gaze and saw the other three sons of the Waldorf family. What could have brought them here? 

Jenny’s discomfort seemed to dissipate instantly, and she smiled, saying, “The Waldorfs treated me very well when I was dating Rick. Now that I’m back, I thought it would be nice to invite them for a get-together and share a meal…” 

Mobius, who had a quick temper, couldn’t help but mock Hugo when he saw his forced smile. Why is this ungrateful Hugo here?”
