Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 988

Richard realized he had fallen for Sean's trap and eyed him warily.

"Alright, we'll have to take your word for it for now." Sean patted Hanzel's shoulder, his use of "for now" meant he didn't believe Richard.

Richard's expression darkened. He knew Sean was trying to outsmart him.

Sensing tension rising, Pearl intervened to defuse the situation. "There's nothing suspicious here. Mobius sped up and caused the accident."

"Pearl, I had feelings for you before, so I respect you, but it's best you stay out of our family matters," Sean stated firmly, though he softened it with a smile. "You don't need to be involved in this, okay?"

The Sean who made everyone uncomfortable was back, leaving Pearl with a sinking feeling in her stomach.

"I believe we should seek justice for Mobius." Hanzel, holding the box of ashes, glared with hatred and determination. "I will find out who caused all this no matter what it takes."

"Go ahead then." Richard knew that they had made up their mind, so he didn't stop them. "But let's arrange Mobius's funeral first."

"Of course. He's not just your brother, he's ours too. We'll give him a grand send-off," Sean declared coldly, his implication clear.
