Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 358

Chapter 358

"I know that I've exposed you, Miss Jenny, but there's no need for such a humble bow. You're a star. You shouldn't be torturing your face like this," Pearl said, her expression innocent and harmless, which filled Jenny with indignation and helplessness.

Lying on Pearl's lap, Jenny was in a pitiable state. She forced herself to get up and attempted to smooth her disheveled hair, hoping the ground would swallow her whole. Falling in front of so many people was a deeply humiliating experience.

"I'm leaving," Jenny announced, her urgency more pronounced than Hugo's departure, making it seem like she was running away.

After Jenny had left, Mobius kept his head down with an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to address her that way..."

Unconcerned, Pearl waved it off. "It's okay. You're still a kid."

Mobius rolled his eyes in response. "No, I'm not. I'm all grown up now."

Staring at him, Pearl asked, "How's Este doing?" It had been a while since she had last been in touch with Esther, and she wasn't aware of her recent activities.

"Her cousin isn't actually her biological cousin and was always at her house. She couldn't take it anymore, so she's currently staying at one of my villas," Mobius explained. Shocked, Pearl questioned, "You guys are living together?"

Mobius turned beet red. "I said she's staying in my villa, not that we're living together!"

"Este is still young. Please don't take advantage of her," Pearl admonished.

Of course, everyone understood what she meant.

Sean playfully patted Mobius on the head and wore a mischievous smile. "I don't have a girlfriend yet, but you're living with yours. You're really something."

Mobius blushed even more, with his ears and the back of his neck turning red.

Pearl then shifted the conversation back to a more serious note. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Take her back home tomorrow because I need to talk to her about something." Mobius nodded and remained silent, avoiding any further awkwardness.

"It's getting late, and we've almost finished our meal. Let's head home," Hanzel, who had been quietly sitting in a corner, suddenly spoke up.

It was then that Pearl finally noticed him. Feeling guilty, she asked, "How has it been at Brilliance Entertainment lately?"

"Pretty good," Hanzel replied, although he now seemed more reserved compared to his previous charming and seductive attitude.

Pearl didn't press for more details and decided to leave it at that. She returned to the Waldorf Residence with the four brothers.

Upon arriving home, Dustan appeared uneasy when he saw Pearl.

"I've been away for quite some time, Mister Dustan. Did you miss me?" Smiling, Pearl sat near Dustan, striking up a conversation with him. Dustan's smile seemed forced. "Welcome back, Pearl."

"What's the matter? You don't look well." Pearl noticed something amiss in Dustan's expression.

Dustan shook his head. "I'm fine. It's just that it's been a while, and I'm not sure what to say."

Of course, it wasn't what Dustan had said that concerned Pearl. For now, she decided to keep it to herself and smiled, pondering the situation.
