Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 816

For the first time, Silas felt intimidated by another man. He squinted, sizing up Richard, who exuded an air of authority.

But Silas was not one to back down. He straightened his body and tried to make himself appear taller. "I'm not afraid to play this game with you."

Richard remained silent and left the room, understanding Silas's decisive look.

As Silas watched him go, he couldn't shake off the feeling of being threatened. Frustration boiled within him.

"What's he so smug about? He broke up with her, yet he's here trying to intimidate me," he muttered to himself, clenching his fist in frustration.

Initially, Silas considered telling Pearl about Richard's visit. But then he hesitated, realizing Pearl might think Richard still loves her and may stir up old feelings between them.

He decided to keep it to himself.
