Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1133

Martin smiled awkwardly. "Dad, abductions are no joke. If you're caught, you could be sent to jail. Please think twice."

"I don't need advice from you," Howard replied sharply.

Martin immediately shut up after Howard's firm response.

"If there's nothing else, you can go," Howard added.

Feeling defeated, Martin sighed and left.

He wasn't scared of being alone there because he knew everyone inside was too weak to challenge him, thanks to the drugs he used. He was immune because he took an antidote.

"The pill doesn't look nice," Pearl said, pretending to be upset.

"Pills aren't supposed to look pretty. Take this one, and I promise I'll give you the antidote right after," he said, trying to sound kinder to hide his excitement.

Pearl had no choice but to get ready for Howard to put the pill in her mouth.

Just as he was about to do it, someone shouted from the doorway, "No!"
