Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 899

It had never crossed Pearl’s mind that she might not be Beah's daughter. But if she wasn't Beah's daughter, whose daughter was she?

"Okay, I got it... Thanks for telling me."

Pearl took a deep breath, unsure of Hugo's intentions but grateful for the information.

Hugo smirked, propping his chin up. "You're welcome. You've given me what I wanted anyway."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Before Pearl could fully process his words, she felt dizzy. A disorienting sensation overtook her, leaving her off-balance.

"Did you drug the food?"

Hugo chuckled. "How else could I keep you here?"

Frowning, Pearl struggled against the dizziness and heat. "Why would you do that?"

"Didn't I make myself clear? I don't want you to leave. I don't want you to be with him. It pisses me off when I see you with him." Hugo stood up and approached her, holding her arm.

Pearl tried to resist but found herself too weak. "What are you going to do?"

Hugo looked at her with obsession. "Don't worry. I like you, so I'll never hurt you."

How dare Pearl sneak behind his back to meet Hugo? Who knew what unforeseen events might have happened if he hadn't been on his guard?

"What I do to her is none of your concern," Hugo replied, sensing that things were about to turn for the worse again. Annoyed, his voice took on a less friendly tone.

"None of my concern? She's my wife."

The mention of ‘wife’ immediately ignited a firestorm between the two men.

"You just broke off the engagement with the Jesseltons, and now you're marrying someone else. Aren't you afraid they'll come after Pearl once they find out?"
