Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 865

Winona reached out to grab Richard's trouser legs, but he recoiled in disgust.

"Let's cancel the wedding," he declared, unable to contain his revulsion.

Winona felt her dreams shatter at that moment. "Rick…"

The idea of their marriage being called off was unbearable for her. After overcoming numerous obstacles to get to this point, she was about to marry Richard. How could he possibly call off the wedding now?

"Rick, I'm begging you. We've come so far. Please reconsider. It would be such a waste to cancel now," she pleaded through tears, reminiscing about their shared moments.

But Richard remained impassive, observing her silently.

Feeling the absurdity of her plea in the silence, Winona relented. "Fine, let's call it off."

Richard turned and left without a backward glance, putting an end to the spectacle.

Wasting no time, he headed to Jesselton Manor to speak with Martin.

The sudden cancellation rattled Martin when saw the evidence of his daughter's indiscretion. Reluctantly, he consented to the cancellation of the engagement and left with Winona.
