Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1131

The Jesseltons… weren't as grand as the Savarys.

"Please wait, I'll go ask my boss if you can come in."

The servant hurried inside but took his time coming back out.

"Please come in, Mister Savary."

Santiago glanced at him and then walked in with his group.

In the living room, Martin greeted Santiago with a smile. "What can I do for you today?"

Santiago went straight to the point. "Where's Saule?"

Martin looked curious. "Saule? Who's that?"

"Don't play dumb, Mister Martin."

Santiago was sharp, and Martin could tell.

"No, I really don't know a Saule." Martin kept smiling. "But tell me about her, and I'll help you find her."

Santiago raised his brows. "Okay, let me search around your manor then."

Martin started to sweat. He knew Santiago must have some reason for coming. Even if it wasn't solid proof, Santiago was usually right.

If Santiago found anything suspicious, it could be really bad for the Jesseltons!

"Mister Santiago, it's getting late. Why don't you stay the night? I can show you around in the morning."

They walked around a garden, but everything looked normal.

Martin was relieved but worried as they approached another garden. "Mister Santiago, it's really dark, and you haven't found anything. Maybe we should—"

Santiago cut him off. "Isn't there another garden? I'm still up for it. Are you saying we should stop now? Are you out of time?"

Martin immediately replied, "No, of course I have the time."

"Then lead on."

Martin sighed and took him to Howard's garden, trying a different tactic. "My father is a famous doctor. He's old and likes his quiet. He doesn't want to be disturbed."

He hoped that mentioning his father's status would discourage Santiago, but Santiago just said, "Open the gate."
