Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 650

Chapter 650 

How could Pearl possibly replace her in Hugo’s heart? She knew very well that Hugo could never like Pearl! 

But watching the two of them with their weird chemistry, Jenny suddenly felt less certain, a kind of strange sense of crisis creeping up. 

Unable to hold back any longer, Jenny took a few steps forward, getting close to Hugo. She tried hard to show a closer connection between them. “Hughie, why didn’t you give me a heads up that you were coming?” 

“This was just a coincidence.” Hugo’s tone was aloof, clearly signaling he wanted some distance. 

Suddenly, Jenny had a feeling that she couldn’t quite figure out. She pouted in frustration and then glanced at Pearl beside Hugo. “But you used to invite me to be your companion for events. Who’s this next to you?” 

She didn’t need to guess. Even with the sunglasses on, she could tell it was Pearl. 

“This is my new companion. She’s just an ordinary person, not anyone famous.” Hugo grinned, positioning himself in front of Pearl, shielding her completely. He intentionally stressed the last sentence, as if cautioning Jenny not to disclose Pearl’s identity. 

It was like he was openly protecting her. 

Mentally preparing for potential trouble, Pearl figured Jenny would likely be angered by Hugo’s words. In case Jenny revealed her true identity, things could become particularly tricky. 

Jenny suddenly panicked. “What’s gotten into you, Hughie? Are you mad at me?” 

“I’m not mad at you, you’re overthinking it,” Hugo replied, appearing a bit annoyed by the conversation. He turned around, putting his arm around Pearl’s shoulder. “You mentioned you were hungry, right? Let’s grab something to eat.” 

Pearl could only nod obediently and follow him. 

As they reached a corner, a middle–aged man approached to talk to Hugo. 

Finally, someone diverted his attention, and Pearl inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. Raising her sunglasses, she noticed Jenny not too far away, glaring at her with resentment. She quickly looked away, pretending not to have seen her. 

She didn’t come here for Jenny but for Owen Adley. She began scanning the place for the latter. 

Yet, there was no point in Pearl hiding. Jenny came over and stood in front of her, arms crossed, wearing a smug smile. “Well, well, isn’t this Pearl?” 

Knowing that Jenny had recognized her, Pearl didn’t bother concealing it. She simply took off her sunglasses, revealing her calm gaze. “I didn’t provoke you, Jenny. Can you stop bothering me?” 

To be frank, this woman was really persistent. 

Jenny raised her wine glass and swirled it around, her delicate face carrying a hint of mockery. “You’ve seduced Rick, and now you’re getting close to Hughie. Why do you act like a b*tch?”
