Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 956

The idea weighed heavily on Pearl, making her restless. She noticed Richard's expression turning grim, so she asked, "Are you

alright?"

"Do | look alright to you?" Richard's expression was unsettling. If what Saule said was true, then he and Pearl were... cousins.

It was a mind-boggling thought.

"By the way, Pea, is this your boyfriend?" Saule's happiness at finding her long-lost child overshadowed the seriousness of the

situation.

With a conflicted expression, Pearl nodded.

"Hello, sir. What's your name?" Saule's smile was radiant upon learning that he was her daughter's boyfriend.

"Hello, ma'am. I'm Richard Waldorf."

The mention of the Waldorf surnmade Saule tense. "Your surnis Waldorf?"

"Yes, ma'am. I'm the nephew of the man who violated your dignity."

Saule's expression darkened instantly. It wasn't the pain of her own violation that haunted her; it was the shock that Pearl was

involved with someone from that family.

Even if Richard wasn't directly responsible for the past incident, the Waldorf family's reaction was enough to disgust her. She

worried for Pearl, knowing Richard grew up in such an environment.

Moreover, if Pearl were indeed the child of that man, then she and Richard would be cousins.

"How long have you two been together? What's the status of your relationship?" Saule's gaze shifted to Pearl's flat stomach. There

were no signs of pregnancy.

Pearl blushed. "Mom, we're not there yet."

"In that case, I'm relieved. But now that you know the truth, you need to end this relationship immediately."

Pearl wanted to refuse, but she felt her words would fall on deaf ears.

"What's wrong? You don't want to break up with him?"

Pearl shook her head. "No, it's just... I'm not mentally prepared."

However, considering the circumstances, it would be scandalous for them to continue as a couple.

Pearl glanced at Richard, who looked equally distressed. "But there's a more serious issue."

"What is it?" Saule tried to brace herself for whatever was coming.

"We're already married."

Saule gasped. "What?!"
