Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 950

Richard was basically saying that Winona chose not to leave on her own, so it had nothing to do with him.

Winona couldn't find any words to refute him anymore. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Alright, stop crying. Your grandfather will be here soon to take you home," Pearl interjected, noticing Winona's distress and offering her tissues.

Winona, however, slapped Pearl's hand aside. "I don't need your fake sympathy."

Seeing her stubbornness, Richard said coldly, "I should've knocked you out earlier."

Winona was filled with conflicting emotions upon hearing his heartless comment.

Richard felt she was becoming a nuisance, so he took Pearl away. He left the room unlocked since Winona would leave soon.

After about half an hour, Howard sent someone to bring Winona home.

Richard demanded an exchange be made simultaneously, and so, a disheveled woman was presented. Her appearance was harrowing, marked by neglect and filth, and she emitted the stench of someone who hadn't taken a bath in months.

The sight of her made everyone recoil in disgust and cover their noses.

"Could Mister Howard have tricked us?" Richard pondered aloud, maintaining a cautious distance from the woman.

The butler, standing by, reassured, "Mister Howard wouldn't dare."
