Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 145

Frightened by Pearl's intense glare, Abby hid behind Richard. "I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. Please don't push me..." She acted as if she were still gripped by fear from witnessing Pearl supposedly push Susan down the stairs.

"You indirectly caused Madam to fall down the stairs, didn't you? You pushed me from behind, causing me to release my grip on Madam. Stop pretending," Pearl accused.

Tearfully, Abby defended herself, "Pearl, Madam raised me. Even if I got hurt, I would never harm her. Plus, you had a conflict with Madam. I would never be the one to harm her!"

Richard couldn't help but feel uncertain due to Abby's convincing act, although he didn't fully believe her. Analyzing the situation, he grappled with mixed emotions, aggravated by Pearl's distant attitude.

"Don't tell me you doubt me too, Richard?" Pearl was infuriated by Richard's questioning gaze.

"Rick hasn't said anything yet, so why are you so agitated, Pearl? Are you feeling guilty?" Abby prodded, attempting to to make the situation worse and sow discord between them.

"It's not that I'm doubting you, Pearl," Richard replied solemnly after a pause. "But my mom is lying here, and I don't know who I should believe."

His words left Pearl feeling wounded. She hadn't expected Richard to begin doubting her integrity today, especially after expressing his desire to marry her just the day before.

"Okay, I did accidentally cause this since you don't believe me," Pearl admitted, leaving Richard feeling helpless.

"That's not what I meant, Pearl," Richard clarified, but it seemed Pearl had misunderstood him. "You know I didn't mean it like that."

"I'll handle it. Just stay out of it."

"Rick, you should let her prove her innocence. I'm willing to apologize to her if she can prove she's innocent. If not, I'll never forgive her for doing this to Madam." Abby's forceful tone almost made Pearl believe her nonsense.

"Pearl." Richard turned to Pearl with a pleading look.

Pearl understood that he wanted her to provide some evidence to prove her innocence.
