Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 953

"What happened afterward?" Pearl asked, her curiosity piqued.

"I covered for Beah and helped her successfully escape to meet with Max. Then, | took a secluded path home, one without any

surveillance cameras. Even if | returned home, no one would realize | had left," Saule explained, a hint of nostalgia in her voice. "I

wasn't afraid of being caught. At most, | would face a minor punishment. But | wanted to buy them more time, to make sure they

could escape far away without being discovered."

Saule continued, "Unfortunately, | ran into someone on my way home." Her expression darkened as she recounted the encounter.

Pearl knew what kind of unspeakable thing had happened the moment Saule made that statement.

Saule deliberately chose a secluded path to avoid detection. However, the darkness of the path made it difficult to discern who was

ahead. Saule heard footsteps approaching but dismissed them as those of a passing servant.

But when she cface to face with the person, she realized he was intoxicated.

"I could smell the wine on his breath," Saule recalled, her voice tinged with unease.

Being naturally cautious around men, Saule tried to pass by discreetly. But the man suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Tell me, don't | deserve Beah?" the man slurred, his gaze intense under the moonlight.

Saule recognized him as a Waldorf, someone she had seen in the backyard.

"lI don't know. Don't ask me." Saule stepped away, attempting to free herself from his grasp.

Unfortunately, her efforts exposed her under the moonlight, making her clearly visible to the man.

"Beah, it's you. Beah..." The man gazed down at Saule with intense longing.

"I'm not Beah. You've mistakenfor her." For reasons she couldn't explain, his presence filled her with unease.

"No, you're Beah. I've told you before, | love you more than anyone. Don't marry my brother. Marry me, okay?"

Suddenly, he hugged her tightly, the overpowering scent of wine swirling around her, making her head spin.

"Stop. I'm not Beah." Saule sensed the looming threat and attempted to push him away, but her efforts were in vain.

"Beah, as long as | have you, you'll be withforever, right?" the man slurred.

Once this thought solidified in the man's mind, he clung to it obsessively. His actions escalated beyond mere words; he began to

tug at her clothes aggressively.

Regret filled Saule as she found herself in this dangerous situation. If only she had chosen a different path, she wouldn't have

encountered him.

"Beah, remember, I'm the one who loves you the most..."
