Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 1009

Although Pearl didn't explicitly state it, her message was clear.

Sean pondered for a moment and quickly grasped her meaning.

"If Richard hadn't secretly helped you sort everything out, you'd probably still be struggling in the Cooper family and wouldn't have had time to investigate Mobius' death." Pearl inwardly cursed him for his stupidity but didn't voice it.

Sean was taken aback by this revelation, blushing as he recalled his earlier words.

"You don't need to feel guilty. Richard did it willingly because he's your brother. But I don't want you to misunderstand him. It would be unfair to him if you saw him as ungrateful when he's done so much for you guys," Pearl said, staring at him intently.

"But what do you mean by 'you guys'?" Sean asked, catching onto the keyword.

"Hanzel was caught dating behind his fans' backs, and Richard handled it with money. And with Mobius, Richard arranged for him to train in Wyncrest."

Sean listened quietly, a new understanding dawning in his eyes.

He appeared calm, but inside, it was a shock to him. Richard had never mentioned any of those incidents before.

Their perception of Richard had always been skewed. They thought of him as a selfish and ruthless businessman, with Hugo hating him, Hanzel respecting him, and Mobius fearing him. Sean himself harbored deep resentment toward his brother.
