Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 526

Chapter 526 

“Alright, enough talking. You talk more than our boss,” one of the men said as they prepared to take Hugo away. 

However, just as they were about to proceed, a new group of people suddenly appeared, and these newcomers were visibly stronger than the previous group. 

The men immediately raised their guard, ready to protect their captive. However, it quickly became apparent that the new group of men wasn’t there to engage in combat. Instead, they focused their attention on Hugo, staring at him intently. 

The situation was tense as the two groups faced off, both on high alert, preparing for a potential confrontation. Just when it seemed like a fight might break out, the newcomers threw a smoke grenade, instantly filling the area with thick smoke. 

Amidst the chaos and obscured vision caused by the smoke, the group lost track of Hugo and the newcomers. When the smoke finally dissipated and they regained their sight, the 

mysterious group had vanished, along with Hugo. 

“Report to the boss immediately!” one of the men instructed, clearly flustered. 

“But she’s getting engaged. Interrupting now might not be the best idea,” another one pointed out. 

“Let’s follow them and send one person to inform the boss after her engagement.” 

Pearl and Richard returned to the engagement party, and the once–noisy hall fell into a sudden hush. 

Those who had come for the drama were disappointed to see the couple appear unscathed. On the other hand, Mobius and Esther, who had been in charge of the event, felt relieved that nothing had gone wrong. 

“Alright, since everyone is here, let’s begin.” Richard’s voice, usually stern, carried an unusual gentleness as he addressed the gathered guests. 

Pearl nodded in agreement, about to speak, when laughter near the door caught her attention. It sounded familiar, like Eric’s. 

Turning to look, she saw Eric standing at the entrance, appearing somewhat late. However, the person accompanying him made her frown in surprise. 

Jenny? 

Jenny’s expression was dark. She had been told that Eric was bringing her to an event to regain some public attention, but she had no idea it would turn out to be Pearl and Richard’s engagement party. If she had known, she would have dressed more extravagantly to steal Pearl’s limelight. 

“I’m not too late, am I, Pearl?” Eric said as he placed his gift aside, his tone gentle. 

“Not at all. If you had been a little later, you might have arrived in time for the baby’s first birthday,” Pearl quipped.
