Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 524

“Tell me what you want,” Pearl said, not bothering to be polite with Hugo.

Hugo looked at her and grinned mysteriously. “Don’t you know what I want? Break up with Richard, and I’ll tell you

everything.”

Pearl’s expression became exaggerated. “You’ve gone to great lengths to be the heir to the Waldorf estate. What’s

the point of all this?”

“You wouldn’t understand. I simply despise Richard. If you break up with him, he’ll be heartbroken, and I love seeing

him in pain. The more miserable he is, the happier I am.” Hugo couldn’t help but feel a surge of delight as he

imagined how devastated Richard would be after their breakup.

“Forget it if that’s your reason,” Pearl retorted, shaking her head. She had no intention of letting this pointless clue

jeopardize her love life.

Finding her mother was important, but not at the cost of her relationship with Richard.

As Pearl turned to leave, Hugo dropped a heavy bombshell. “But your mother is on the brink of death. Aren’t you

curious to know where she is?”

Pearl’s face paled at his words. “How do you know that?”

“Hahaha, I told you. Be wise and break up with him, and I’ll reveal everything.”

Pearl lowered her head, conflicted and hesitant.

“Pearl, don’t listen to him,” Richard’s voice broke in as he arrived on the scene. He had seen Hugo trying to

manipulate Pearl from the moment he got there.

His eyes bore into Hugo, cold and filled with anger. Threatening Pearl to break up with him? Hugo was becoming

increasingly audacious.

“Richard,” Pearl quickly ran to him, her voice trembling as she explained, “I didn’t run away on purpose. I found

some clues about my mom!”

Thankfully, she hadn’t fallen for Hugo’s tricks, or Richard would have been furious.

“It’s alright, I understand,” Richard said as he gently stroked her hair, reassuring her.

“Haha, I knew you wouldn’t-”

“I’ll punish you when we get back.”

Pearl froze. Richard’s words were like a death sentence to her.

Hugo, however, wasn’t fazed at all, perhaps because he believed he had powerful backing. Richard, what a

coincidence that you’re here.”

Richard nodded. “If you keep luring Pearl out and playing your little games, next time, when you’re thrown out, it

won’t be on some remote road but right in the middle of the city.”
