Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 929

Pearl wasn't sure if Richard would cause any trouble for Howard.

"What's wrong with that? You're my wife. Isn't it normal for me to be where you are?" His role as her husband made his argument sound reasonable.

Since Richard was so persistent, she couldn't say no. She told him to meet her at her office after work. When it was time, a car was already waiting outside.

Richard hadn't arrived yet, so Pearl waited by the door. Then, the door of a sleek black Maybach opened.

"Why aren't you getting in, Pearl?"

Pearl thought Howard would meet her at their planned location, but he had come to pick her up himself. Surprised, she said, "Just a moment longer. I'm waiting for someone."

Howard's smile disappeared. "Who? Richard?"

"Yes, he said he wants to come along."

It seemed like her marriage to Richard was an open secret. Although they hadn't made it public, everyone had their suspicions. Pearl felt she didn't need to hide this from Howard.

"I didn't realize you two were so close. I might have put you in an awkward spot."

"You don't mind?" She asked more out of politeness than anything, knowing Richard's decision was final.

"Of course. I just wanted to catch up with you. It's even better if Richard is there."

"Absolutely." Richard didn't deny it.

Pearl gently squeezed his hand, signaling he might have gone a bit too far. But Howard didn't mind and simply smiled.

Soon, they arrived at a hotel and went into a private room to sit down.

"I'm curious about what you want to discuss with my wife," Richard said, emphasizing "wife" to boost Pearl's confidence.

Howard, taking a sip of his tea, replied, "I'm old, so there were no hidden motives in inviting Pearl here. I just wanted to discuss something about her family."

That's when Pearl remembered something Hugo had mentioned to her.
