Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 160

Hugo scoffed. "That's why you need to prepare for your next move. As long as my mother never wakes up, Pearl won't be able to touch you, no matter how powerful she is."

Abby was surprised. "But… that's your mother. How could you…"

Hugo found her surprise amusing. "My mom? She's Richard's mom. I have no blood relation to her whatsoever."

He had undergone a DNA test after his previous suspicion, which confirmed that he had no familial ties to the Waldorfs. This revelation explained why their parents had always treated him with leniency and kept their distance—he wasn't their biological child.

"You're not a Waldorf?" Abby almost shouted but quickly lowered her voice when she remembered they were in a public place. "What do you plan to do then?"

Hugo scoffed again. "I couldn't care less about the death of a Waldorf. I, like you, am just a poor soul the family took care of."

"So Aunt Susan…"

"Leave her to me. I'll make sure she never wakes up. All you have to do is before Richard and Pearl find evidence… " He made a subtle gesture, and Abby immediately understood.

"Alright, I'll figure something out. I need to leave now."
