Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 963

Pearl retorted, "Why do you care about us reading the report?"

"Why can't you accept the truth?"

Hugo's condescending click of the tongue only fueled Pearl's anger. "This is none of your business. Stop meddling."

"Uh-oh, are you mad?" Hugo shook his head, indicating he wouldn't give up easily.

"Let him read it if he wants to," Richard said impassively, tossing the report to Hugo.

Pearl had yet to read it. Glancing at it briefly, her heart sank at the words "biologically related."

As expected, they were cousins. Disappointment overwhelmed her.

Hugo didn't bother to read carefully. The mention of being biologically related was enough fodder for his mockery. "See? I told you. You two aren't right for each other. But you didn't listen. What a ridiculous joke for Enswood, a couple who are cousins with a marriage certificate."

Despite Hugo's sarcasm, Richard remained unruffled, much to Hugo's annoyance.

"Rick, when are you getting a divorce?" Hugo teased provokingly.
