Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 353

"So, you're telling me that I can't go anywhere now, and I have to stay in Bodgow?" Pearl questioned the butler with a cold stare.

The butler was struck speechless before he carefully explained, "Well, yes, technically you should stay in Bodgow, but in reality..."

Pearl stood up, her irritation evident. "What's your plan then? Are you going to grab me and drag me back?"

"No, I would never—"

"Then don't meddle in my affairs. I am the granddaughter of the Jordan family, not a criminal on death row," Pearl snapped, her patience wearing thin. It was the first time she found the butler so bothersome, and her frustration showed.

"Please, Miss Pearl, don't make things difficult for me. I'm just an employee trying to make a living for my family. I don't know what to do if you act like this..." The butler's appeal came out softly, but it was a public scene, and his distress was palpable.

Pearl had not expected the butler to create a scene, especially as he was in his fifties. Although he was not raising his voice, it was undeniably embarrassing.

"Fine, I won't leave. Stop crying. How can you cry like this in public, considering your age?" Pearl relented, feeling a mixture of annoyance and pity for the butler.

Relief washed over the butler when Pearl gave in. "Okay, let me give you a ride back home, Miss Pearl."

"Home?" Pearl mused, tapping her chin. She asked thoughtfully, "So, as long as I don't leave Bodgow, that's what Master Jordan wants?"

The butler nodded in a daze, puzzled by her question.

"So, he can't interfere no matter how much time I spend outside, right?" Pearl continued, seemingly leading the butler into a trap.

The butler, seemingly unaware, subconsciously nodded.

Pearl leaned against the doorframe, trying to affect him. "Oh, so you admit you did it?"

Blake reiterated his innocence, "What are you even talking about?"

"Oh, are you offering me a private helicopter ride, then?"

"What would you need a helicopter for?" Blake narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Let me guess. You wanted to go back to Enswood to see Richard, but Grandfather's men intercepted you, right?"

"You're smart." Pearl gave Blake a thumbs-up.

"You're daring, Pearl. You know that Grandfather is keeping a close watch on you, yet you still want to return to Enswood at this critical point."
