Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 144

Stretching her body a bit, Pearl found Abby's greeting ridiculous.

"If you don't have anything else to say, I'm going back to bed." Pearl turned to go back to her room, but Susan stopped her.

"Pearl, a moment." Susan then went upstairs and signaled Abby to accompany her.

"Pearl, I really do like you. You're smart and pretty, and many men like you. Why do you want to be with Rick… I hope you'll be sensible and leave him soon. Then we can get along well with each other. Don't worry, all of my sons are exceptional. You can choose any of them except Rick. If not, I can even introduce you to a few young rich heirs. I won't be unfair to you." She sounded quite tactful, and Pearl would appear unreasonable if she refused.

However, Pearl took a step back and smiled. "I made myself very clear, Madam. I don't have a say in who Richard chooses to be with. And neither do you. His choice of a spouse is his business."

Fuming with anger, Susan wanted to slap Pearl, but Pearl acted fast and tilted her body to dodge Susan's hand.

Unsteady, Susan nearly tumbled down the stairs, but Pearl immediately grabbed Susan's wrist.

"Hold on tight, Madam."

Despite their conflict, Pearl wouldn't stand by and watch Susan roll down the stairs.

Meanwhile, Abby stood nearby with a wicked smile, observing the situation.

"I sincerely want to marry Rick, Madam. I hope you can understand me. You're willing to make some sacrifices for me, right?"
