Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249 

Although Hugo had a darker personality, he was really good when it came to running a business. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to run the hospital so well. His move to Lawson Enterprises would be a challenge to Waldorf Enterprises. 

“By the way, have you told your Mom about your dad’s situation?’ 

Richard’s expression turned dark. “I didn’t have to. Mobius never thinks before speaking so Mom must already know and probably talked to Hugo.” 

“We should go to the hospital and check on them.” 

They decided to visit Dustan to see how he was doing. When they entered his room, they found Susan lying on the side of the bed, crying intensely. Hanzel and Sean stood nearby, looking upset. 

Susan cried even louder when she saw Pearl and Richard. “Richard, why are there so many problems in my life?” 

“You’re fine, Mom. Think of it as having a misbehaving dog. There’s no need to cry over that.” 

Susan wiped her tears but continued to sob. “I always thought as long as I’m good to him, he would treat me like his mother. That’s why I kept his identity a secret all these years, but he still found out…” 

“It’s not on you, Mom. He was led to believe his father was responsible for his parents’ death, and it filled him with hate. You’re not to blame.” 

Susan nodded. “I know. He had a big ego, so he might not be able to accept the truth. That’s why he’s upset. But it’s fine, I’ll talk to him.” 

The others exchanged looks and didn’t know how to feel. Hugo wasn’t likely to listen to anyone, so why would he speak to her? However, given Susan’s delicate health, they didn’t want to burden her with this truth. 

Susan volunteered to stay at the hospital to keep an eye on Dustan, and Sean decided to stay with her. 

Hanzel wanted to stay as well, but Richard managed to terminate his contract. Once Pearl secured him a position at Brilliance Entertainment, he would be able to make his comeback in the entertainment industry and wouldn’t have time to stay at the hospital anymore. 

To avoid any issues, Pearl decided to personally accompany Hanzel to Brilliance Entertainment. She didn’t want anyone to accidentally discover her true identity. 

On the way over, Pearl noticed Hanzel zoning out and asked, “Is something bothering you?” 

Hanzel sighed. “I feel so useless because I can’t do anything on my own. You even have to help me find a job.”
