Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 367

Chapter 367

Richard moved Jenny's hand away and just calmly said, "This is what Dad wants."

"Am I still your girlfriend. Richard?" Pearl's eyes turned red, tears welling up, but she fought to hold them back

Richard clenched his fists when he saw her on the verge of tears. He began, "Pearl, I-" but stopped, unable to continue.

Jenny raised her chin arrogantly "I told you, Pearl. Uncle Dustan likes me. You're nothing compared to me."

Every word felt like a dagger to Pearl, though she desperately wanted to disbelieve them. "Are you telling me to be smart and step aside so I won't stand in your way?" "I never said that..." Jenny's face froze because she was spot on.

Pearl scoffed. "I'm sorry, but I'm Richard's girlfriend. Please stop coveting him." As long as Richard didn't break up with her, she wouldn't hand him over to this woman.

Jenny, undeterred, challenged Pearl, "I'm going to have lunch with him. Do you want to join us?"

But Pearl agreed with surprising calmness, "Sure, where to?"

"To... Fojushu." Jenny wanted to take back her words. Why did she have to invite Pearl along?

Pearl knew that Richard had a sensitive stomach, and Fojushu served Jenovian cuisine, which might not be suitable for him. She suggested, "Let's go somewhere else." Richard, to Pearl's shock, calmly said, "We can go there."

Pearl stared at Richard in disbelief, but he averted his gaze, avoiding her eyes.

Jenny, feeling increasingly triumphant, tightened her grip on Richard's arm. "Rick used to go there with me when we were in university. He loves the tuna there."

Richard didn't like someone grabbing his arm, so he pulled it away.

Pearl spoke with a neutral tone, "Richard developed gastric issues after he started working, and that kind of food might not be good for him "

Jenny had been away for years, so she wasn't aware of this. Feeling a bit awkward, she suggested, "Let's choose a different place, then..." She fancied Richard and didn't want him to suffer, so she suggested going elsewhere.

Richard said, "It's fine, let's go there."

"Alright, as you wish, Rick." Jenny looked at him with gratitude. This wasn't the first time he had shown her respect in front

of Pearl.

Pearl was angry Under normal circumstances, she would have questioned Richard, but she had a feeling he was avoiding her. She refused to throw a fit and leave.

The trio went to have lunch, but Pearl felt like a third wheel.

Jenny ordered Richard's favorite dishes and then turned to Pearl, asking, "What do you like, Pearl?"
