Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 602

Chapter 602 

1/2 

Even though Jenny had her reservations about Hugo, she couldn’t help but be moved. 

She felt a sense of regret. If circumstances were different, if there were another life or if she weren’t with Richard, she might have chosen Hugo. 

With eagerness, 

she got to her feet. “Thank you for helping me so much, Hughie. I’ll do my best to help you in the future.” Her sincerity was genuine, though her newfound kindness felt a bit out of place. 

Impatience flickered in Hugo’s eyes, but he quickly replaced it with tenderness and adoration to avoid arousing Jenny’s suspicion. “Okay, I got it.” 

Pearl found herself at a loss for words as she witnessed their affectionate exchange. She walked over to a nearby couch, sat down, and turned on the TV to watch some dramas. After all, she was a prisoner there, so she might as well make herself comfortable. 

Since it was already past six in the evening, Jenny realized it was time to leave. She stood up to straighten her clothes, but an inexplicable rage welled up within her when she saw Pearl sitting comfortably with her legs crossed, engrossed in the TV. 

“Hughie, I hate this woman very much. You must help me teach her a lesson.” While talking, Jenny held Hugo’s hand and playfully swayed it, showing a cute and aggrieved expression. She even pressed her body against his arm. 

In response, Hugo placed his hand on her waist, his face showing tenderness. “Why don’t you stay a little longer?” 

Since Jenny had regarded herself as Richard’s fiancee, she didn’t want to engage in any questionable behavior with Hugo. She blushed, scolded him playfully, and gave him a light punch. 

Then, she put some distance between them and said apologetically, “It’s already six in the evening. If I stay any longer, my agent might get suspicious. Plus, my career is just taking off. If paparazzi catch wind of me being in a strange man’s room, it could cause trouble again. I’ll come visit you again.” 

She put her arms around Hugo’s neck and planted a kiss on his lips before leaving. 

Hugo nodded, watching her leave. 

After Jenny departed, Pearl, who had been leisurely watching TV, playfully winked at Hugo from the couch. “You’re quite the charmer with the ladies, aren’t you?” She could sense that Hugo had lost all interest in Jenny, yet he was still willing to play along. 

“Would you like me to charm you too?” 

Hugo’s words irritated Pearl. “Hugo, watch your tongue.” 

“Why did you come with me, then, if you know I’m not a nice guy?” Hugo chuckled. “Oh, I forgot. I kidnapped you and brought you here.” 

Pearl became flustered. “How dare you ask me that!” 

Hugo was careful not to provoke Pearl further, as things could become difficult to handle. Unlike Jenny, Pearl was no pushover; she was like a wildcat, and one wrong move could result
