Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 792

When Winona looked at Hugo, smiling confidently, her eyes immediately welled up with tears. She asked, "What do you mean?"

Hugo opened his mouth slightly, looking somewhat surprised. "I didn't say anything specific. Why are you assuming things, Miss Jesselton?"

Indeed, she had jumped to conclusions too quickly!

Winona was mad but couldn't find words to argue. She could only force an awkward smile. "I might have overreacted."

"Yeah, relax, Miss Jesselton. Not everyone's out to get you," Hugo said teasingly.

Winona was speechless and turned to Richard for support, but he remained silent. He kept his lips sealed, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

"Alright, let's not waste more time. We're here to talk business, so let's go in."

Pearl felt relieved to see Winona lose her ground. However, she didn't come here to argue with this woman. She had two important contracts to sign.

Richard didn't say much and seemed uncomfortable with the situation. He led the way inside.

Seeing that Richard had no intention of going in with her, Winona got nervous and hurried after him.

However, Hugo, as composed as ever, took his time. He shot Pearl a sly look and said, "I never thought you, the fearless one, would get teased in front of your ex like that. Your comeback was weak."

Although his words seemed harmless, the underlying meaning was that Richard watched someone else mock her without caring, implying he didn't love her.
