Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1078

Hugo had something he wanted to clarify, so he went ahead and opened the door. Right away, he noticed the room didn't have the colors Hanzel would use.

Susan was at a loss for words. "This room was supposed to be Hanzel's, but Pearl moved in so she lived there temporarily."

It was pretty much what Hugo had thought.

He stepped inside, took a good look around, and then his eyes fell on a framed drawing. The drawing was adorable, like Pearl just doodled it without thinking much.

He touched the frame and couldn't take his eyes off it.

Susan watched Hugo and felt a bit uneasy. Did he have feelings for Pearl?

She tried to dismiss the thought, but it just wouldn't go away.

"Hugo, didn't you say you needed to talk to Richard about something?" Susan couldn't help but ask.

"I want to buy Waldorf Enterprises," Hugo revealed.

Susan was shocked. "What? What's going on with the company? Why do you want to buy it?"

Hugo pretended to look sad. "On the outside, it seems like Richard's doing a great job, but really, the company's just barely holding together. It was Dad's life's work. I can't just watch it fall apart."

He made himself sound like a hero.

But Susan was no fool. She knew there was more to the story.

Susan reached out to him, wanting to offer some advice, but he shook her hand off.

"Don't touch me! I'm going to buy Waldorf Enterprises today whether you like it or not."

Shocked, Susan fell to the floor.

"What's going on here?" A furious voice came from behind.

Hugo turned to see Richard and Pearl quickly approaching, both looking angry.

"What? I didn't do anything."
