Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chatper 665

Chapter 665

Owen found Jenny noisy and crazy, vastly different from Pearl. It was easy for him to make a judgment,

and he naturally took Pearl’s side.

“What’s the matter? Are you doubting my judgment?” Owen found Jenny very annoying.

Jenny was in a state of panic. She had come to revel in Pearl’s misfortune and couldn’t understand

how things had turned against her.

Given the circumstances, she needed to think fast. She managed to calm herself and spoke more

gently, “Listen to me, Mister Owen. It’s not what you think. Did she manipulate you?”

Owen snorted. “Stop explaining. I don’t want to listen to your crap now!” He then turned his gaze

toward Pearl and offered her a flattering smile. “Miss Pearl, I’ll lo

you decide what to do with her since she’s targeted you. How should we punish her? I’ll go along with

your choice.”

Jenny realized that she was now at Pearl’s mercy. She was certain that Pearl hated her to the bone for

the way she had treated her. Desperately, she shook her head and pleaded, “Please don’t do this to

me!”

Seeing that begging Owen was futile, she crawled toward Pearl and clutched the hem of her dress.

She begged pathetically, “Pearl, we’re both women facing difficulties. Can’t you find it in your heart to

let me go?”

Surprisingly, Pearl felt no pity for Jenny despite the latter’s sorry look. She even mocked Jenny, “You

pushed my patience to its limits again and again. Have you ever thought of this ending?”

She massaged her sore wrists and lifted Jenny’s chin with a single finger. Jenny’s makeup, which had

been meticulously applied, was now smeared due to her tears, making her look pitiful.

“Pearl, I know you’re a kind person, aren’t you?”

Pearl scoffed, withdrawing her hand from Jenny’s face. “I wouldn’t target others if they left me alone.

I’ve never claimed to be a kind person.”

Pearl’s words only deepened Jenny’s uncertainty. She knew that Pearl wouldn’t let her off easily.

Resigned to her fate, Jenny sat on the floor, crying. She remained silent as fear overtook her. She

couldn’t predict her future, but she understood that it was bleak.

Despite Pearl’s desire to witness Jenny’s suffering, she had more important matters to attend to at the

moment. People outside were unaware of her condition and believed she had been kidnapped. She

needed to return soon to ease their worries.

Hence, she glanced at Owen and smiled gently. “I’m feeling a bit unwell, Mister Owen. I’d like to go

home and rest. I’ll leave this to you.” She leaned over and gently squeezed his shoulder to express her

concern.

It was the first time Pearl took such initiative toward Owen, giving him the impression that they had

grown closer due to this incident. As a result, he agreed, “Go home and rest. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure

she learns her lesson.”

Pearl smiled and left the cellar with the bodyguard Owen had assigned to her.

Once Pearl was gone, Owen finally turned his attention back to Jenny. Jenny retreated and widened

her eyes when she saw the bloodthirsty gleam in Owen’s eyes.
