Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 506

Pearl deftly maneuvered her body to dodge Henry's attack and managed to grip his wrists. With a bit of strength, she pushed him backward, but he struggled to regain his balance.

Henry smirked, triumphant that he had avoided being subdued so easily.

Before Pearl could breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden wave of weakness washed over her. She found herself unable to summon her strength.

"What kind of drug did you give me this time?" she demanded, frustration in her voice.

Henry sneered, "Go to hell with the secret since you don't know…" He had initially contemplated taking liberties with Pearl, but now he found her defiance irksome, so he decided it was best to kill her promptly.

Drawing a dagger from his person, Henry advanced toward Pearl slowly. Just as he was about to strike, there was a commotion outside.

Henry was displeased that someone was going to disrupt his plans. He threw a quick glance toward the door before resuming his efforts to kill Pearl.

However, the door rattled, as if someone had kicked it, and it started to give way.

"Looks like someone's here for you, Pearl. Let's guess, is it your sweetheart? Wouldn't it be thrilling to die in front of him?" Henry mused with a malicious grin. "And will he still love you if your face is ruined?"

Pearl glared at him with disdain. "Do as you please, f*cking bastard!"

"Planning to kill Pearl, were you?" Richard asked in a chilling tone, playing with the dagger, which gleamed ominously in the dim light.

Even if Henry had been fearless before, he couldn't find the words now. Struck dumb with deep fear, he could only look up in terror as Richard loomed over him.

"Don't kill me," Henry pleaded, his voice trembling. It had been far beyond his expectations that Richard would arrive at the restaurant so quickly.

Initially, Henry had intended to threaten the most popular man in Enswood to gauge his capabilities. But now…

"You're tough, right?" Richard's voice was icy and bloodthirsty.
