Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 659

Seeing Richard stubbornly hold onto his stance, a helpless sigh escaped Pearl. She knew that it was futile to keep on arguing with him. "But Owen won't easily give up the machete if you do this."

Richard seemed to realize the complexity of the situation and softened his expression. He gently ruffled her hair. "There, there. Don't worry about it. He'll give me that machete."

Owen's opposition was ultimately meaningless because his father wouldn't pass up the opportunity to elevate their family's status.

"Fine." Pearl sighed again. "That seems to be the only option now."

Unbeknownst to them, as they conversed downstairs, Owen had witnessed everything. Anthony had confined Owen to an upstairs room.

He felt increasingly confused due to their intimacy. Suddenly, his phone rang, and he picked it up, even though the caller's number was unfamiliar.

"Are you Mister Owen? I heard you're with Miss Pearl now, is that correct?" The caller eagerly inquired about him and Pearl.

Owen was vexed, witnessing his woman about to leave with another man, and now another woman was prattling on the phone needlessly, further irritating him. "What's it to you?"

The female caller realized that she was right and ignored his displeasure, continuing cheerfully, "Well, I'll share a secret with you, in that case."

Owen's curiosity was piqued by her words. "What secret?"

"Listen... Pearl has ulterior motives when it comes to you!"

Owen frowned. "What do you mean?"

Owen decided to let it go since she had divulged this information. He hung up and started plotting against Pearl.

He intended to make her pay a steep price.

The following morning, Pearl was still asleep when she was abruptly awakened by a phone call.

She reached for her phone and saw it was Richard calling. After a brief conversation, she learned that he had brought the machete downstairs and asked her to come down to get it.

Quickly, she mustered her energy, put on some clothes, and rushed downstairs.
