Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 597

Chapter 597 

Pearl found herself being pulled into the mansion, where she was compelled to go through the wedding ceremony with Sean. Eventually, she was led into their bedroom. 

A couple of sturdy maids instructed her to take a seat by the bed and quietly left the room. 

“What a hassle. Both Wayne and Damian aren’t good,” Pearl muttered, rolling her eyes. 

Despite her foul mood, she kept her attention fixed on the door. If Sean dared to enter through that door, she wouldn’t hesitate to use the dagger against him without mercy. After all, he had played dirty. 

As Pearl contemplated dealing with Sean, she heard a creaking sound at the door. She quickly hid the dagger behind her back and stared at the door. 

The door opened, revealing a familiar face. 

“Hugo?! What are you doing here?” 

Pearl sighed in relief, rising from her chair and causing the dagger in her hand to fall to the floor with a loud cla 

“If Sean hadn’t proposed to you like a lunatic, I would never have shown up here,” Hugo replied, his gaze shifting from her face to the fallen dagger. “Looks like you really didn’t want to marry him.” 

Although Hugo had barged into the room, he strolled in casually as if it were no big deal. He 

sat next to Pearl. 

“What are you up to?” Pearl didn’t entirely trust Hugo, and she was convinced he was not better than Sean. She took a few steps back, putting some distance between them.. 

“Don’t worry. I’m not here to hurt you. I’m here to help.” 

Hugo’s words almost made Pearl burst into laughter. Everyone knew about his tricky nature, and he probably couldn’t find a way to get to her while she was with the Coopers. Therefore, he likely planned to trick her into leaving. 

Pearl stepped back, her hand reaching behind her as she remained vigilant. “I don’t need your help.” 

“Really? Then why have you been clutching that dagger the whole time?” Hugo’s charming. eyes held a playful glint as he poured himself a glass of wine. 

Pearl slowly loosened her grip, knowing she had a second dagger behind her. Surprisingly, Hugo didn’t expose her and just enjoyed his wine. 

He raised the glass to his nose and took a whiff. It looked good, but it had a hint of magnolia fragrance. 

“Can you believe it? Sean actually drugged your wine.” 

“Drugged my wine?” Pearl’s eyes widened. She was so focused on escaping that she hadn’t expected Sean to go to such lengths. Had she attempted to appease Sean and consumed that glass of wine, she might have succumbed to its effects.
