Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 327

Hugo didn't let his guard down but agreed to meet Pearl.

Enswood was only a two-hour drive from Bodgow, and since Richard was still unconscious due to the poison, Pearl decided to temporarily entrust his care to the family doctor while she met with Hugo alone.

Choosing a five-star hotel not far from the Jordan residence for their meeting, Pearl arrived to find Hugo already seated and sipping on tea.

"You're finally here. I thought you lied to me," Hugo remarked, tilting his head to indicate that she should take a seat.

Pearl picked a chair as far away from him as possible. She refrained from touching any of the items on the table and abstained from drinking anything.

Hugo played with his teacup and said, "Why? Are you afraid to drink the water? I'm not an animal, you know. There's no need to be concerned. I don't drug people."

Pearl changed the subject and cut to the chase. "Did you bring the ginkgo?"

"Yes, but it's not with me. It's in my room upstairs. Would you like to come and see it?" Hugo replied casually.

"No, just tell me, are you only willing to give it to me if we agree to give you the shares?" Pearl looked up and noticed his hungry gaze. His squinted eyes didn't seem to hold any warmth. Instead, they conveyed a sense of mockery.

Hugo shrugged. "Something like that."

"But Richard is currently unconscious, and I don't have access to the shares. You'll have to wait for him to transfer them once he wakes up," she explained logically.

"You're disgusting, Hugo Waldorf." Unable to secure the ginkgo through negotiation, Pearl decided to pursue a different approach. She stood up, ready to leave.

However, as she began to walk away, her body suddenly felt weak, and she slumped back into the chair.

"What… did you do?" Alarm bells went off in her head.

"I used a fragrance that induces dizziness. I apologize. I'm not much of a gentleman, more of an animal," Hugo confessed. With his right hand, he lightly brushed her face and gave an evil smirk. "Pearl, do you think Richard will lose his mind if I sleep with someone he hasn't slept with yet?"

Pearl wanted to curse at him but realized her vision had grown hazier by the second. The last thing she saw was the wickedness in Hugo's eyes, tinged with a sense of pride at seizing the opportunity at the right moment.
