Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1102

After the engagement party, Claude slowly approached James from a corner. His face was hard to read. "Mister James, I would like an explanation."

James looked at Claude, noticing his serious look, and asked, "What can I do for you, Mister Claude?"

"Sabrina fell into the water earlier. Aren't you aware of that?"

Naturally, James knew about it but didn't know what to say just then. "So, what kind of explanation do you want?"

Claude played with the ring on his thumb and smiled a bit more. "I've been looking into what happened, and it turns out, I think you need to break up with your fiancee."

He smiled in a way that wasn't nice.

James was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"

"My men found out who caused Sabrina's accident. It was someone from your family, and they said they did it because your fiancee told them to." Claude was hinting that Esther had planned the accident.

James's face turned cold immediately. "No, that's impossible. Someone must be trying to make her look bad.

"I'm telling you the truth. I came to you because I have proof." Claude thought James was just trying to protect Esther, so he became rude. "I kept quiet about this during your party out of respect. But if you keep defending her, don't get mad at me for speaking my mind."

Meanwhile, Esther rushed over to James. She hadn't expected that scene, so when she got a moment away from the party, she went to him and said, "Getting engaged is so exhausting."

"No, Pearl. He's saying I hurt Sabrina. I have no idea what he's talking about." Esther was really angry, pointing at Claude.

It looked like Claude was causing trouble for Esther. Pearl found this strange but was angry to see Esther being treated poorly.

She said coldly to Claude, "Mister Claude, how much wine did you have? Shouldn't you watch what you say?"

"This doesn't concern you, Miss Pearl. Stay out of it," Claude replied. He felt a connection to Pearl, so he couldn't be mad at her. And the problem didn't involve her anyway.

"No, it does concern me. You can't treat Esther badly in front of me. No one in Enswood would dare."
