Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 899

It had never crossed Pearl’s mind that she might not be Beah's daughter. But if she wasn't Beah's daughter, whose daughter was she?

"Okay, I got it... Thanks for telling me."

Pearl took a deep breath, unsure of Hugo's intentions but grateful for the information.

Hugo smirked, propping his chin up. "You're welcome. You've given me what I wanted anyway."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Before Pearl could fully process his words, she felt dizzy. A disorienting sensation overtook her, leaving her off-balance.

"Did you drug the food?"

Hugo chuckled. "How else could I keep you here?"

Frowning, Pearl struggled against the dizziness and heat. "Why would you do that?"

"Didn't I make myself clear? I don't want you to leave. I don't want you to be with him. It pisses me off when I see you with him." Hugo stood up and approached her, holding her arm.

Pearl tried to resist but found herself too weak. "What are you going to do?"

Hugo looked at her with obsession. "Don't worry. I like you, so I'll never hurt you."
