Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 424

Pearl had arranged for Hugo to meet in the office at Waldorf Enterprises. After the recent events involving Raymond, Richard was no longer comfortable with her meeting people in unfamiliar places, so they opted for the safest location—Waldorf Enterprises.

Hugo arrived shortly, entering the room with a skeptical expression.

"What's going on, Richard? What do you and Pearl have planned?" Hugo scoffed and sat down in a chair, his eyes fixated on Pearl.

"Hugo, I have something to tell you about your biological parents," Pearl stated plainly.

Hugo's expression darkened immediately. "I'd rather not hear anything from you if it involves them."

"Do you really think Dustan is the one who killed your entire family? Hugo, if you use your head even just one bit, you wouldn't hate the man who raised you for decades!" Pearl's tone held no sympathy; she had little patience for him.

Hugo initially chuckled, then his laughter grew manic. "What do you know, Pearl? Your parents aren't the ones who are dead. You haven't experienced unequal love. You sit in judgment from your high horse. Who do you think you are?"

Hearing Hugo's crazed laughter, Pearl cast a glance toward the restroom.

Suddenly, a stranger called out, "Hugo."

Kingsley approached, attempting to hold Hugo's hand, but Hugo pulled away. "Hugo, it's my fault. When your mother died in that accident, I was severely injured. I wanted you to have a better life with the Waldorfs, so I left you there. But—"

"You never expected me to sever all ties with the family. You couldn't bear it, so you've come out now, is that it?" Hugo cut straight to the point.

Kingsley was momentarily stunned but then nodded. "Hugo, Mister Dustan wasn't responsible for the accident. I was trying to escape from my debtors, and Mister Dustan, in his desperation, ended up chasing after us..."

Kingsley vividly remembered that fateful afternoon when he was trying to flee with his family to escape a massive debt. However, they had an unexpected encounter with Dustan on the way.
