Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1065

Gigi went up to Saule and asked with a worried look, "Are you feeling alright? I got really scared when you fainted that day. I'm so happy to see you're okay now."

"Yeah, I'm all better now." Saule grinned.

Pearl gently pulled them aside and took Saule upstairs to rest. "You've just gotten back from the hospital, and you need your rest. I'll come to get you when it's time to eat."

Gigi sensed that Pearl was acting a bit cold toward her and started to worry.

Pearl noticed but gave a friendly smile. "Gigi, why do you look upset?"

"No, I'm just really concerned about Aunt Saule. So, I... Oh, it's good you're home now. I've just finished cooking. Let's eat."

Gigi smiled and led them to the dining table, then returned to the kitchen to bring some more food out. "I'll bring Aunt Saule's food to her in a bit."

Pearl picked up a potato and said calmly, "No, I'll do that later."

"Pea, why do I feel you've been acting cold to me since you got back?" Gigi looked sad.

Pearl felt colder inside but said, "You're overthinking."

Stunned, Gigi stopped talking.

Three days later, a shocking piece of news spread.

It was revealed that the Jordan family's second daughter, who was thought to have died years ago, was actually alive and had a daughter, Pearl, who was married to Richard.

This news, along with an old scandal about Saule, caused a big stir. People gossiped that Richard's uncle had assaulted Saule, making Richard and Pearl cousins.

Gigi was shocked. "So, are you really cousins?"

Pearl looked at Gigi seriously. "It's up to what people think. What about you?"

Gigi nervously fiddled with her clothes, sensing something in Pearl's words.

Pearl stood up, stretching her sore shoulders, and walked to the door, opening it suddenly.

The crowd outside went quiet when they saw her.

"What do you want?" Pearl crossed her arms.

Someone sneered, "You've caused a scandal, yet you act so proud."
