Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 271

Esther tried to remember and finally said, "I don't think I told anyone about this except you and Christian."

Pearl heard that and slowly looked toward Christian.

Seeing Pearl's scrutiny, Christian immediately went on the defensive. "Why are you looking at me like that? Esther's my cousin. I'd never do anything to hurt her."

Pearl pursed her lips. "I didn't say anything. Why are you so worked up?"

"You're probably behind this, trying to ruin Esther's reputation so she can't be with Mobius. You Waldorfs are so powerful it would make sense if you look down on the Sanders."

Pearl squinted at Christian, sensing something was off about his behavior.

Her phone suddenly chimed with a message from Wayne. She read it and realized what was going on.

"Have you been frequenting a particular place recently, Christian?"

Christian ignored her question, lit up a cigarette, and exhaled a puff of smoke. "Nope, just school and home. Why? Are you suspecting me of something?"

"Why do you have so much gambling debt then?"

Christian's face paled. How did she find out about his debt?

"410 thousand dollars. That's quite a lot."

Pearl didn't want to hear his denials, so she walked closer. "Tell us where you got the money from then."

Christian's eyes darted around, unsure of what to say.

"If I'm correct, the Brown family has always been an average family, so there's no way you could have paid off 410 thousand dollars. Moreover, this is a private account, so Esther wouldn't know about the money."

Esther nodded, confirming what Pearl said.

"Most importantly, the only people who knew she had a crush on Mobius are you and us. We have no reason to do this to her, but you do. You sold her message for 410 thousand dollars, didn't you?"

Christian couldn't help but sweat profusely, realizing that Pearl's deduction was close to the truth.
