Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 959

Pearl gently held Saule's hand, her expression filled with warmth. "I have the means to take care of you now. You don't need to

worry about being a burden to me."

Saule wiped away her tears, chuckling. "You've grown into such an accomplished young woman. | have full faith in you."

Despite her youth, Pearl had achieved remarkable success with her company, excelling in various industries far beyond her peers.

"I have an idea. Once you've finalized your divorce, let's move out."

Richard's expression soured. "Is there something wrong with staying here?"

"It's not about that. It just feels... inappropriate." Pearl didn't want to subject Saule to any unpleasant memories by staying there.

Moreover, Saule's fragile health and emotional state would suffer in such an environment.

"What's inappropriate about it? Saule has already let it go." Richard was adamant about them staying because he couldn't bear to

part with Pearl.

Seeing the emotional strain it caused Pearl, Saule agreed to move out, fearing their relationship might deepen given their familial

ties.

Pearl nodded. "Let's stay here for a few days until | finalize the divorce, then we'll move out."

With things reaching this point, Richard had no choice.

After escorting Saule to a guest room, Richard noticed Pearl's weary expression as she stepped out.

"Do you believe we're actually related?" he asked, his voice filled with doubt.

Pearl shook her head. "I don't know, but my mom sounded so sure of it. | guess it's true."

"What will we do if it is true?"

Pearl had pondered this deeply since Saule's revelation. "We'll break up if it's true."

She couldn't justify continuing a romantic relationship if they were indeed cousins. She could forget about the grudges of the

previous generation, but she couldn't do something morally wrong.

"You're willing to end things?" Richard's eyes reflected his sadness.

"Of course not. But what choice do we have? Can we ignore the fact that we might be cousins?" Pearl's heart felt conflicted. Their

intimacy had once felt sweet, but now it brought discomfort.

"I can't bear to lose you," Richard confessed, his face pale with helplessness. He had never felt so powerless before, unable to

control the situation no matter how hard he tried.
