Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 966

Saule staggered and slumped onto the sofa, her face drained of color and struggling for breath.

Pearl quickly sat beside her, gently rubbing her back. "Mom, don't stress too much. It might not be as serious as it seems."

Richard offered his reassurance, "Ma'am, there's no need for worry. Pearl is outstanding, so her biological father must be a decent

man, given how amazing she is."

Saule glanced at Pearl, trying to comfort herself with the thought. Indeed, having such a wonderful daughter implied the father was

remarkable too.

Yet, for Saule, the idea that she had a child with a man unknowingly was deeply shameful.

"I hope you're right..." She sighed deeply and began to cry.

"Mom, don't worry. I'll find the truth about what happened back then," Pearl promised.

Saule hesitated, uncertain if the truth should be sought.

If Pearl couldn't find it, perhaps it was for the best. But what if she did? The father might not recognize them or be the person they

hoped for. Worse, he could be deceased.

Imagining various outcomes, Saule concluded it might be easier not to search for him. Discovering his identity could lead to more

complications.

"Just let it go. Let bygones be bygones." She was hesitant to revisit the affair.

"But we can't just ignore it now that we know. It's better to solve this mystery," Pearl argued, believing Saule was concerned about

the difficulty of the search. "Don't worry about finding him, Mom. I'll take care of it."

"Pea, do you really want to find your father?"

Saule's question caught Pearl off guard. She realized she hadn't considered Saule's feelings, who might not want to relive that

ordeal.

Pearl gently placed her hand on top of Saule's. "If you're against it, we won't search for him, Mom," she reassured, touched by the

sight of Saule's tears.

"Ugh... Letthink it over." Saule felt selfish for wanting to prevent Pearl from meeting her father due to her own emotional

struggles.

"Okay, take your time. Whatever you decide, I'm with you," Pearl said supportively.

Saule muttered a yes and nodded firmly.

Since Pearl and Richard were not related, Saule saw no reason to oppose their relationship. She wouldn't lose such a good son-in-

law, and the thought filled her with gratitude.

"lI won't insist on a divorce then. Rick, please take good care of my daughter." Saule looked hopeful.

"Of course, ma'am. Pearl is safe with me," Richard assured, comforting Saule with his commitment.

Just then, Pearl received an urgent call from Wayne.

"Miss Pearl, something's wrong!"
