Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 965

"We can do another test if you don't believe this, as long as you promise not to tamper with it," Richard agreed openly to another test.

Hugo finally accepted the truth, but self-doubt gnawed at him. What had gone wrong?

But Richard had no time to entertain Hugo's thoughts. He neatly stowed away the reports and led Pearl out of the room.

Excitedly, Pearl wrapped her arms around Richard's neck once they were outside. "What's going on? Why aren't we biologically related?" She found it incredulous. It felt like a miracle that they weren't related.

"I'm not sure, but the fact remains we aren't biologically related," Richard replied.

Puzzled, Pearl frowned. "It's weird. I'm Mom's child, but I'm not your cousin. Could it be..."

A sudden realization dawned on both of them at the same time.

"We might be onto something," Richard acknowledged, sensing Pearl's train of thought.

"Do you remember what Mom told me? She went missing after jumping off the building. Maybe something happened when she was unconscious," Pearl suggested.

Richard considered this. "It's been too long. We might not get answers, and I'm not sure if she can handle it. I'll look into it discreetly."

Pearl nodded and smiled. "Regardless, I'm very happy we're not cousins."
