Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 259

Pearl gave Sophia a frosty look. "Whatever."

Pearl's stubbornness made Sophia sneer. "Aren't you curious why Hugo trusted Lawson Enterprises and refused to believe your explanation?"

As Pearl was leaving, she stopped upon hearing Sophia's words. "What do you know?"

Sophia arrogantly lifted her chin. "I did say you'd regret treating me like this. I work at Lawson Enterprises now, and I'm privy to quite a lot of information. Do you think I'll tell you?"

"Do you think I'll panic and apologize to you after what you've said? Do you expect me to beg you for the truth?"

Gaping, Sophia did feel that way.

"You're overestimating yourself, Sophia. I'll uncover the truth, and it'll be more detailed and comprehensive than anything you know." Pearl smirked suddenly. "But thank you. Without you, I might not be so certain that it was Lawson Enterprises behind these schemes."

Sophia's face drained of color. She suddenly felt as if she had once again made a foolish mistake. It was as though she had willingly brought humiliation upon herself.

"Stop being so smug!" Sophia, never one to hold back, glared fiercely at Pearl.

Feeling a bit lightheaded, Pearl realized the fresh air wasn't helping, so she decided to return to her room to rest.

She held her forehead as if feeling dizzy and followed the waiter upstairs. Although she had visited Esther's house only once and was unfamiliar with the layout, the waiter seemed even less knowledgeable. They traversed several corridors, with the waiter looking around uncertainly, before finally stopping at a room.

Smiling weakly, Pearl said, "Thank you for bringing me here. Just get back to work and leave me alone."

The waiter nodded and left, satisfied with a job well done.

Pearl knocked on the door, finding it unlocked, yet no one answered. Holding her breath, she slowly pushed the door open.
