Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1092

Life was returning to normal, but there was a sudden emptiness without the constant drama. However, it seemed like this wasn't the end of it.

Esther showed up at Waldorf Residence, grabbed Pearl's arm, and shook it. "Pearl, tell me what really happened back then."

Esther hadn't been there and regretted not knowing what had happened that day. So, she took time to find out how the villain, Hugo, met his end.

Pearl's mouth twitched, but seeing Esther's eager eyes, she couldn't say no. "He killed himself."

"What?" Esther gasped. "A guy like him really did that? I thought he'd go out guns blazing, taking everyone with him."

...Well, that did fit Hugo's style.

"I actually thought he had a thing for you before. I never expected him to pull a stunt like that." Esther looked at the scar on Pearl's face, her heart aching. "I can't believe he cut you with a knife."

Pearl didn't know why Hugo had suddenly lost control. Deep down, she didn't think he would hurt her. But she did see confusion and guilt in his eyes.

"Alright, it's all over now."

Although Hugo was a jerk, his death left a lingering discomfort. Even Richard was depressed for a while.

"What about Silas?" Esther couldn't understand why Silas, who was clearly at odds with Hugo, suddenly came to testify against him.

Silas suddenly lowered his head in frustration and smiled at her. "Is that how you see me? Not a single good impression?"

"Silas, what's wrong with you?"

Silas stumbled to his feet, his smile fading. "I'm fine. I just can't bring myself to hate you. Why are you so gentle with me?"

She wouldn't have come to the bar tonight when she could have rejected him without a second thought, not believing a word he said. Then he might have been able to stop thinking about her.

Pearl was at a loss for words. "I've turned you down, but you didn't accept it." She sighed. "Silas, I'm married. I've never led you on, so there's no reason for you to be upset with me like this."
