Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 323

"Fine, fine!" Ezra, still seething with anger, reluctantly agreed to let Richard stay for the time being, but with a condition. "He can rest here, but he must leave when he wakes up!"

His main concern was for Blake, who was still in the hospital recovering. If the latter's back couldn't be fully treated, it would have dire consequences for his life.

Pearl's gaze remained on Richard, not bothering to even look at Ezra. "Alright, I'll bring him inside."

Ignoring her grandfather's rage, she walked away, leaving him fuming.

Ezra's secretary, who had observed the entire exchange, looked concerned and spoke up, "Sir, what should we do about Miss Pearl? At this rate, she might actually marry Richard Waldorf."

Ezra clenched his teeth and spoke in hushed tones, "It's just a passing infatuation. She'll come to understand my intentions when I introduce her to a suitable young man."

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he instructed, "I've heard that the York boy has returned to Bodgow. Schedule a meeting for him with Pearl when you have the chance."

The secretary understood and nodded with a smile. "That's a brilliant idea. Miss Pearl will surely appreciate the effort you're putting in."

Ezra squinted his eyes, his expression inscrutable. "I hope so. I really hope she doesn't follow in her mother's footsteps."

In her room, Pearl gently laid Richard on her bed, covering him with a blanket. She went to prepare warm towels to help lower his fever.

As she was about to place the towel on his forehead, her right hand was suddenly gripped tightly, preventing her from moving. Startled, she exclaimed, "Richard!" Before she could react, she lost her balance and fell onto him.
