Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 585

Richard’s rationality frustrated Jenny. She held back the screams in her head and declared,

I’ll make you fall for me again!”

Suppressing the jealousy gnawing at her heart, Jenny turned and walked away.

Richard’s eyes gleamed, his thoughts consumed by a familiar face. What was Pearl doing

in Bodgow? And why was she with another man? Annoyance surged within him.

He quickly made a phone call and said coldly, “Get me a ticket to Bodgow.”

In the dead of night, Pearl prepared to return to Jordan Residence. Damian accompanied

her, and they stood outside the compound, apprehensive about what lay ahead.

“Why do I have a feeling that the traps have changed?”

Pearl rolled her eyes. “Of course. After the commotion we caused yesterday, they would

have increased security measures.”

“But-“Damian attempted to argue.

The eerie silence enveloping the place felt like walking into a trap.

“No ‘buts.‘ Even if there are traps tonight, I’m going in,” Pearl asserted resolutely.

Her determination to find her mother was unwavering, but she worried about Damian,

whom she had always seen as aloof but had recently discovered had no sense of direction.

“Why don’t you go home and wait for me there?” she suggested.

That annoyed Damian. “No way. I’m coming with you,”

“Fine, then. Stay close.” Pearl couldn’t be bothered to argue, so she climbed over the wall

and. ventured forward in the darkness.

As they both scaled the wall, they reached the familiar garden. Surprisingly, there were no

guards around, and even the young lady they had encountered the other night was

absent. Pearl briefly considered whether they had underestimated the estate’s defenses.

However, just after they entered the garden, the house lit up

1. up.

Pearl’s gaze locked onto a man slowly approaching her, causing her stomach to churn.

“We meet again, ma’am,” said the butler, who appeared to have lost weight since their

last encounter. He must have been tired.

Pearl scoffed. “You’re quite persistent to follow me all the way here.”

“Ma’am, you should have taken the easy way, rather than this path. Did you intentionally

want to get caught?” The butler’s tone rose in excitement at her presence.

“So you knew it was me all along?”

“Of course. Who else would come here in the middle of the night?”

A smile from someone else flashed through Pearl’s mind. “Does that mean Mister Ezra
