Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 863

"Richard, you look anything but happy. You seem mad, like you're not satisfied with this wedding. If you don't like her, why marry her? I don't get it," Sean remarked, lounging on the sofa with crossed legs. He clicked his tongue in disdain when he saw Richard standing there gloomily.

"Hold on, Sean. Rick might have his reasons. He wouldn't take his wedding lightly," Hanzel intervened, trying to calm the situation.

"I don't care about his reasons. All I know is he's wronged Pearl. She must have been blind to fall for you. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have let you near her," Sean retorted sharply.

Hearing Pearl's name, Richard's gaze met Sean's, his voice icy. "Go ahead and try to win her over, see how that goes."

Sean shot Richard a fierce glare, but Hanzel stepped in again, trying to defuse the situation. "Calm down, Rick. Today is your wedding day. Let's not dwell on the past. Just focus on the ceremony ahead."

Clearly, Hanzel was talking about Pearl as if she were part of the past. Looking at him, Richard thought Hanzel seemed a bit slow-witted, so he didn't say much in response.

Meanwhile, Mobius, sitting quietly in the corner, remained withdrawn and despondent since his breakup with Esther.

Sean was irked after facing a setback due to Richard. Turning around, he noticed Mobius sitting close by and asked, "What's got you down too? Still hung up over your break-up?"

Normally, Mobius would have retorted to Sean's remarks. However, today, he appeared disinterested in engaging with Sean, not even bothering to respond.

Finding the lack of interaction dull, Sean chose to remain silent.

Not long after, it was time to fetch the bride. Richard, accompanied by his family, proceeded to Jesselton Manor to pick up Winona. He escorted her to the wedding car, where she appeared shy but content.

Pearl reassured Esther. "Don't worry. We've got it all planned out." She blinked, then couldn't help but laugh at the latter's anxiety. "It'll all be okay. I'm here to make sure we avoid any trouble or accidents."

Esther nodded with relief, but a sudden realization struck her, causing her to sweat nervously. "Ugh... You still want to be with Richard?"

"You got it right."

Esther suddenly remembered her previous interaction with him, prompting a nervous chuckle from her. "Richard… He won't be vindictive, right?"

She was simply seeking justice for Pearl. But she knew she would be the one to suffer if they got back together.
