Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 541

Listening to Susan's voice, Pearl felt as though she were right there, witnessing her lively mother through her memories.

Her mother, Beah, had been the popular girl in town. Even before Susan got married, she had been quite the looker herself. They were very close and used to hang out together, living the high life.

As they got older, both of them entered the age of crushes.

Unfortunately, Susan secretly had a crush on Dustan, while he was secretly in love with Beah. On the other hand, Beah fell in love with a famous sculptor named James. This led to a complicated love triangle.

Pearl looked at Susan, who seemed to display a hint of jealousy. "You have no idea how many guys had a major crush on your mother back then. About 80% of the men in the city had a crush on her, but she didn't fancy any of them. Then, unexpectedly, she fell in love with your father, James."

Susan couldn't help but sigh when she spoke about James. "It's a shame that your father was too poor for Master Jordan. He couldn't even come up with 127 million dollars."

"127 million dollars!" Pearl gasped in disbelief. Who, other than those born into wealthy families, could afford such a massive dowry?

"That's why Master Jordan refused to let your mother marry James, fearing he was too poor. But right at that time, Dustan proposed to your mother. After some consideration, Master Jordan believed that Dustan was a good match, so he gave his blessing."

Talking about this visibly irritated Susan.

"Mister Dustan sure was loaded…" Pearl chuckled and asked, "So what happened next?"

"But right at that time, something completely unexpected happened," Susan said, her face suddenly freezing.

"What happened?"

Pearl's response aligned with Susan's wishes. She smiled and patted Pearl's hand. "That's good."

"However... I heard from my father that my mother left because of a quarrel. Has my mother contacted you over the years?"

Susan lowered her head for a moment before answering, "About ten years ago, she contacted me a few times. But because I was afraid that Dustan might still hold lingering feelings for her, I didn't tell him. Then, Sean went missing for two days, and Mobius had a car accident. It was like a curse had been cast upon the family ever since. Your mother never showed up again, and I couldn't contact her either."

Sean went missing, and Mobius had a car accident…

Pearl narrowed her eyes, and a bold idea suddenly crossed her mind. "Are you saying that after my mother contacted you, the Waldorfs faced one misfortune after another?"

"You could put it that way, but it could also just be a coincidence."
