Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 900

Richard's expression darkened as Hugo made a blatant threat.

Hugo knew the risk, but he saw no other way to silence Richard and keep him away from Pearl.

"What does this have to do with you? The only thing you should be concerned about is letting go of my wife."

Hugo had no choice but to release her.

As soon as Hugo let go, Richard reached out to support Pearl, his heart boiling with anger.

Pearl, though affected by the drug, remained somewhat lucid.

Feeling dizzy, she looked up at Richard, struggling to speak. "I need water." Her throat was so dry that all she wanted was water.

Understanding her discomfort, Richard decided not to engage further with Hugo and carried Pearl away.

As they left, Hugo couldn't resist a parting shot. "I hope you handle the consequences properly."

This statement could be interpreted in two ways, and Richard understood both implications. However, he chose to respond to just one. "Don't worry. I'll take care of the Jesseltons."

Hugo’s eyes flashed with anger.

Despite her petite frame, Pearl had a remarkable figure, undeniably alluring. His desire simmered, darkening his gaze.

Pearl, barely conscious at this point, felt a burning sensation throughout her body, desperate for relief. With that thought in mind, her hands wandered to the person beside her.

Feeling her warm touch on his arm, Richard's agitation grew. He pulled over, darkening the car's interior with the blinds.

In the darkness, Pearl saw the dangerous glint in Richard's eyes. "Richard..."

Drugged and weakened, her voice was barely a whisper, making her all the more fatally tempting.
