Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262 

Richard scowled at Pearl, his concern evident. “Don’t do it again and make me worry.” 

When Pearl saw his terrified look, she smiled mischievously. “What would you have done if it had been me in there?” 

“I would have gouged out their eyes and thrown them into the sea,” Richard responded with a fierce tone, but his underlying protective concern for Pearl was unmistakable. 

Pearl chuckled confidently. “Well, it wasn’t me. I’m smarter than most people.” She paused for a moment before asking, “But how did you know it wasn’t me in there?” 

Pearl and Sophia shared some similarities in appearance, making them easily mistaken for each other. 

Without even blinking, Richard answered casually, “Her hair is different.” Sophia had smooth, straight hair, while Pearl’s was black, glossy, and wavy. Additionally, their temperaments were distinct. 

Pearl then remembered that the people in the room were n*ked and quipped, “You didn’t peek at her, did you?” 

Richard’s expression changed, but it wasn’t one of embarrassment. Rather, it conveyed deep disgust and disdain. “She’s not 

my type.” 

He had quickly discerned that it was Sophia’s scheme and that Pearl had narrowly avoided being drawn into it. This revelation left him thoroughly disgusted. 

Respecting Richard’s feelings, Pearl refrained from teasing him further. Instead, she took his hand and returned to the 

downstairs hall with him. 

Following the incident, the birthday party came to an abrupt end. 

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, the heroine of the incident regained consciousness. She hastily wrapped herself in a thin blanket and dashed downstairs, with no one able to stop her. 

Sophia had never anticipated that she would be the one taken advantage of in the end. In tears, she cried out, “There’s an injustice here!” Being the culprit herself, she wanted to shift the blame to others. 

Curious, Pearl listened in the distance. She found something amiss as she nibbled on a slice of cake from her plate. 

As Sophia fixed her wicked gaze on Pearl, she vehemently accused, “It was Pearl! She lured me into that room as part of her plot!” Her voice quivered with feigned distress. 

Several people in attendance were Sophia’s devoted followers, unwilling to see their idol suffer humiliation. When they heard about the perceived injustice, they promptly rallied to her side.
