Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 680

"Want to know why?" Hugo gave her a mysterious smile that left her confused.

Pearl took a deep breath and asked, "Yes, why?"

"I won't tell you!" Hugo stated before leaving without a second glance.

However, seemingly realizing something, he turned around and added, "By the way, our engagement party got canceled so it will be rescheduled in two days. Please prepare again."

Pearl's interest in why he poisoned Katie waned in comparison to the impending engagement, which was more of a headache for her. Just the thought of having to wake up at 5 a.m. to put on makeup was torture enough.

"Can't we just skip the party? We were already engaged once, and everyone knows it."

"That won't do. I'm a man of principles, and I have to see things through." Hugo furrowed his brows and shook his head, appearing deeply concerned about the matter.

Having said that, he left.

Pearl felt powerless about the engagement, but she suddenly remembered that Gigi hadn't used the medicinal herbs she brought back last time. She planned to purchase some fresh ones from the hospital to make medicine.

However, there were very few medicinal herbs sold in hospitals. Besides, even if the hospital had the largest warehouse of medicinal herbs in the city, she couldn't get in, let alone get her hands on them.

Nevertheless, she arrived there with a glimmer of hope.

As soon as she arrived at the door, the middle-aged man guarding the warehouse stood up with a serious expression. He mumbled, "You can't come in, miss. Please turn around."

"I want to buy some medicinal herbs. Could you please let me in? Who is in charge here?" Pearl asked politely.
