Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 580

She clenched her fist and made up her mind to visit the Jordans that very night.

In the dead of night, a figure dressed in black moved stealthily through the darkness.

Pearl scaled the walls of Jordan Residence, well aware of the numerous surveillance cameras in place. She had to be careful to avoid being detected.

As she landed on the other side, someone suddenly grabbed her right hand with a firm grip. Alarm bells rang in her mind, and she demanded, "Who are you? Why are you grabbing me?"

The mysterious person removed their mask, revealing a familiar face. "I told you, Pearl, never go into situations like this alone. If I hadn't sensed something was off about you, you might have triggered traps and ended up dead here without anyone knowing!"

Pearl was curious about how he knew about the traps. She examined Damian's face as he grabbed her, and relief washed over her. "I've been to this place countless times when I was younger. It would've been a waste if I didn't know about the traps."

"That makes sense. The Jordans only fell into disgrace in recent years, so it's natural you'd be familiar with the layout," Damian remarked.

"Can you please not bring up painful memories?" Pearl slapped Damian's hand away, causing his forehead vein to throb in irritation.

"I'm sorry." Damian decided not to hold it against her.

Pearl remembered all the traps only after visiting the residence twice. Damian got into the garden from what he could remember.

Pearl's intuition told her that her guess was spot-on, and it irritated Damian. "Alright, fine, we'll go together. But stay close." She then grabbed his sleeve as if she was worried he would lose her—it looked funny.

Damian grabbed her hand tightly, and Pearl, knowing the urgency of the situation, didn't resist. She needed to find her mother quickly.

Together, they ventured further into the residence, arriving at a beautiful little garden. It appeared simple from the outside but was filled with various flowers, creating a stunning display.

"The simplicity creates a striking contrast with the beauty. Whoever maintains this garden must take color coordination very seriously. If I recall correctly, your mother enjoyed drawing when we were children," Damian commented.

Pearl shook her head and frowned. "No, these are all valuable medicinal herbs… Whoever owns this garden must have been seriously ill."
