Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 273

Pearl's heart sank as she realized things weren't as simple as they imagined. Hugo tried to tear Esther down because he wanted to get to Mobius and by extension, the Waldorfs.

"I think not only is this planned by Hugo, he's probably backed by someone in Lawson Enterprises." The enterprise seemed to be collaborating with Hugo to undermine the Waldorfs, but Pearl was determined not to let them succeed so easily.

She gave Christian a stern look. "This is your chance for redemption."

Christian was puzzled. "What do you want me to do?"

"You still have their number, right? Call back and say 410 thousand isn't enough. Ask for 680 thousand dollars, or you'll tell everyone they paid you to frame Esther."

Christian bit his lip. "But… I already sold the evidence, so they won't be afraid that I'll expose them. I don't have any evidence left."

Pearl smiled cunningly. "Your phone recording will be the evidence."

Christian suddenly realized what Pearl was planning, so he took out his phone and dialed the number.

Everyone held their breath and watched in silence.

The person on the other end of the line immediately began berating Christian, and Pearl reminded him to switch to loudspeaker mode so she could secretly record the conversation.

After hanging up, Christian hung his head low, looking like a child caught in a lie.

"Alright, next, we'll have to sort out Esther's problem." Pearl smiled and turned to Esther. "Go on and clarify your relationship with Mobius and about the accidental kiss. Also, talk about your relationship with Christian."

Esther looked distraught. "But if I do that, everyone will know about my feelings for Mobius, and I might lose even more fans."
