Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 864

Pearl touched her chin. "I don't know. Why not ask him yourself?"

Esther's eyes widened in horror at the thought. "Maybe I should introduce you to other men instead. There are plenty of good guys out there..."

"If Richard hears that, he might hold a grudge against you," Pearl declared, laying down Esther's punishment.

Esther finally realized the gravity of her blunder, lamenting her predicament.

"Okay, I'll stop scaring you. Just stay put. The show's about to start," Pearl announced, checking the time with a raised hand. With only a minute left, she prepared to leave.

A minute later, the door to the adjacent room burst open with a resounding kick, followed by the clamor of footsteps, unmistakably belonging to reporters.

Before leaving, Pearl donned a mask and glasses, instructing Esther to stay put unless absolutely necessary. The latter obediently nodded as she knew that she would make matters worse if she went out.

As Pearl stepped out, she was met with a throng of reporters holding cameras, fervently snapping pictures. Curious, she peered into Winona's room and witnessed a shocking scene: Winona lying unconscious, her wedding gown torn, with a man atop her.

A blush spread across the faces of some reporters as they averted their eyes, but continued taking photos.

Winona stirred awake, bewildered and incensed by the situation. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" she demanded, struggling against the man's weight.

Earlier, she was feeling a bit sleepy and had laid down to rest. Surprisingly, she woke up to find herself in an intimate situation with a man.

However, the man continued to hold her close, yet refrained from going any further.
