Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 

1/1 

The waiter’s deep fatherly love for his daughter moved everyone present, except for Sophia, whose face had turned grotesque. “No, I didn’t do it. You all conspired to frame me!” 

“Conspired? You’re still making excuses, Sophia. It’s better to admit your involvement now to receive a less severe punishment.” 

Wrapping herself in the blanket, Sophia curled up slightly. 

Being one head taller than Sophia, Pearl looked down on her with a judging gaze. 

“I didn’t harm anyone. I didn’t…” Sophia had a mental breakdown as she looked at Richard and lunged at him, grabbing onto his trouser legs. “I like you so much, Rick Can you say something for me?” 

However, Richard kicked her away and turned to hug Pearl’s waist. “Don’t touch me. You’re disgusting.” 

| 

“You think I’m disgusting? You didn’t say that back then, Rick. You said I was pitiful and wanted to take good care of me…” 

Pearl immediately recalled that night when Sophia had slowly leaned into Richard’s arms under a tree’s shade, and he hadn’t immediately pushed her away. On the contrary, he had seemed stunned for a moment before retreating. 

Thinking of that, disappointment overwhelmed Pearl. She struggled briefly, but Richard held her even tighter. 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but please don’t ruin my reputation. I never said you were pitiful and that I wanted to take care of you. It was all your imagination.” Then, he turned to the reporters, who were left speechless by the unfolding drama. “I apologize for using public resources, but I must clarify that I’m now dating Pearl. I hope that’s clear, and those with ulterior motives should understand it.” 

His reference to Sophia was obvious, and he was openly humiliating her. 

Sophia’s face turned pale, and seeing Richard’s composed demeanor, with his focus solely on Pearl, ignited jealousy, pain, and madness within her, driving her to lose her reason. 

Suddenly, she grabbed a paring knife from the table, intending to stab Pearl. 

However, Sophia couldn’t even touch Pearl due to Pearl’s exceptional martial arts skills. Pearl skillfully evaded the attack, causing Sophia to fall hard on the floor and lose her grip on the knife, which skidded across the hall. 

“You better release his daughter and stop this madness, or you’ll end up behind bars with more than just civil liabilities.” 

Sophia was in excruciating pain, her fall having caused her to hurt her l*ps, leading to her vomiting and feeling utterly 

defeated.
