Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Richard arrived in the ward early the next morning.

“Wow, the workaholic Mister Richard took the day off to come and visit me. I’m flattered” Pearl grinned

as she peeled an orange. “The fruits are really sweet. Want one?” She handed him a banana.

Richard ignored her. He said nonchalantly, “Dad told me to come take care of you. Stop overthinking thi

ngs.”

“Fine, forget I said anything.”

“I have a question for you.” Richard’s mouth set into a hard line. After a brief pause, he asked, “You bro

ke the record at Death Valley, but you’re from a village. When did you ever practice car racing?”

This woman was too mysterious. Her background was normal but everything she did was out of expec

tations.

Pearl burst into laughter. “I did it just to kill time. Richard, why do you care so much about that?”

Richard was stunned. When he saw her relaxed look, he slowly calmed down. Pearl was friends with W

ayne, she knew Oliver, who had an extraordinary identity, she was great at playing piano, and she even

broke his Death Valley record which no one was able to do for a year. She was extraordinary though s

he hailed from a village.

“Pearl, I hope you don’t harbor any evil intentions.” Richard sounded like he was warning her, but his h

Knock, knock, knock

A rhythmic knock at the door disrupted Richard’s thoughts. Abby walked into the ward. When she saw

Richard was alone with Pearl, she became jealous.

She smiled charmingly and went over to hold Pearl’s hand. “You look so pale. Are you badly hurt?”

As

Abby gripped Pearl’s hand tightly, Pearl chuckled, then glanced at Richard. She knew what was going

on. A jealous woman was a dangerous woman.

“I’m fine. Abby, don’t hold my hand so tightly. Those who don’t know will think you hate me.” Pearl pulle

d her hand away and exposed Abby’s inner thoughts. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Abby’s face turned livid but she forced

out a smile. “I was just worried about you. Mister Dustan will be upset if anything

happens to you.”

Pearl smirked. “Wow, you care so much about Mister Dustan’s opinion before you’re even married into

the family. Miss Abby, you’re so thoughtful.”

Of course, everyone could say hypocritical things.

“Pearl, you sound like you don’t like me very much… Abby’s eyes started tearing.

“Abby, just because I said a few harsh words, you think I dislike you? Aren’t you being a little self–

conscious?” Pearl rarely met such pretentious women.

“I just wanted to come visit you. I wasn’t expecting you to be so overbearing. Maybe I’m the obnoxious o

Richard frowned and said coldly, “Pearl, watch your tongue. Abby kindly came to see how you’re doing.

“That’s not necessary. All right, I’m unwell, so please don’t disturb my rest.” Pearl shooed them away as

Richard’s eyes turned dark when he saw her angry expression. “Let’s go, Abby. Rest well, Pearl”
