Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1382

"That's not true," Luther said with a deep breath. "The only sister I recognize is the kind, innocent girl I found on the streets."

Nina couldn't help but laugh. "Kind and innocent? Why would you think that? When I was bullied, I kept calm because I was plotting my revenge. I planned to get back at each of them, to return every hurt they inflicted on me.

"My heart darkened a long time ago. I thought I'd always be in pain, but then you came along. You chased away those bullies and brought me to a house like a palace. How could I not fall for you?

"I hoped you might feel something for me, especially since I'm not bad-looking. But when I gathered my courage and told you how I felt, you called me shameless. That really hurt me."

Luther had no idea Nina felt this way. He thought providing her with a home, food, and a better life would make her happy, but she held onto her bitterness.

Feeling guilty and about to speak, he was interrupted by Pearl, who scoffed and said, "Did Luther disappoint you? He brought you into his home, hoping to improve your life, but it sounds like you're ungrateful.

Taking a step back, his expression grew distant. "You've disappointed me, Nina. From today, you're not my sister anymore."

Nina panicked, not expecting Pearl's words to have such a severe impact on her relationship with Luther. He even wanted to cut ties with her.

No, if she wasn't Nina Crowford, then she would be nobody!
