Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248 

Pearl was shocked. “Hugo? Did you arrange to meet him?” 

“I called him a while ago and asked to meet at 7 p.m. He agreed.” 

Pearl didn’t know what Hugo was planning, so she was a little nervous. “I should go with you, just to be safe.” 

“Alright.” 

Richard drove to the agreed-upon location, a cafe near the office. When they entered, they saw Hugo wearing sunglasses and dressed inconspicuously, but they immediately recognized him. 

Walking over, they found two cups of steaming coffee prepared for them. 

“Yes, Richard, how can I help you?” 

Pearl couldn’t help but scoff. “Hugo, aren’t you being a little phony?” 

“Phony? Jumping to conclusions, Pearl? If I’m phony, then what’s Mister Dustan?” Hugo sipped his coffee and smiled. 

Richard’s gaze was cold. “You’ve spent a lot of time with Dad, so wouldn’t you know what kind of person he is?” 

“I never questioned his character, but Richard, it’s not a secret that he spoils you. There’s no need to pretend to be a good person. Do you think it’s fun to pretend to be nice and make me look ungrateful?” Hugo’s usual gentleness had disappeared. What remained were his eyes filled with hatred. 

“Do you really think Dad is biased?” 

Hugo was annoyed. “What do you think? You have all the resources and money, but I can’t even get into the company. Even that idiot Sean managed it, so why can’t I?” 

“It’s your own fault,” Pearl stated bluntly, causing Hugo to lose his composure. 

“What do you mean? My fault? How is it my fault if he’s playing favorites?” 

“If you hadn’t been hypocritical as a child, claiming you wanted to help people, why would Mister Dustan have encouraged you to become a doctor? If your personality hadn’t been so weak that it couldn’t withstand the cutthroat corporate world, why would he have dissuaded you from joining the company? 

“Do you really think Richard had an easy life? He never stopped striving to be the ideal heir. All his accomplishments resulted from his relentless hard work. Did you know that? No. You simply think he stole everything from you. You’re delusional.” 

Through her investigation into Richard’s first love, Pearl had learned about the challenges he faced during his earlier years. She now had a better understanding of Dustan’s perspective and despised Hugo’s self-righteousness.
