Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 993

Pearl and Richard instantly sensed trouble when they spotted the speeding car heading their way.

"Let's split up and run!" Richard shouted.

They dashed in opposite directions, running as fast as they could.

The car made a sudden sharp turn, chasing after Pearl. She sprinted ahead, but she couldn't outrun the car for long. Before she knew it, the car cut off her path.

Breathless, Pearl stopped and faced the car.

A man in a suit emerged, followed by another man in black holding an umbrella, like he was there just for the man in the suit.

"Long time no see, Pearl," said Hugo, smirking at her drenched state with his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Why don't we get Miss Pearl a jacket from the car? She looks like she's been caught in this rain," the guy with the umbrella said.

Pearl snapped, "Save your hypocritical words, Hugo. What do you want?"

"What do I want? Seriously? What do you think?" Hugo stepped forward, but Pearl stepped back.

"Why are you backing away? I'm not some monster. I won't bite." Hugo chuckled. "And trust me, I like you too much to hurt you."

Pearl found Hugo's persistence irritating. "Could you just stop showing up? You're really gross, you know?"

"Gross? How does liking someone and wanting to get closer to her make me gross?" Hugo shrugged, looking helpless.

"Enough. Why are you here?" Pearl knew he had a reason, especially after that car stunt.

"You're not planning to silence us, are you?"
