Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

After exchanging pleasantries, Dustan showed Pearl to her room. It was spacious and bright, complete with exquisite and
gorgeous decorations. It was also well-equipped with various amenities. “Are you satisfied with the decor, Pea? If not, I’ll have it
redecorated to your liking.” “I like it very much, Mister Dustan. Thank you.” Complicated feelings rose inside Pearl as she looked
at Dustan. She had met him several times when she was young, and he was always so kind to her. As she thought back to those
times, she recalled her late father and her expression turned gloomy. “You must be tired from the journey. Rest well. I’ll call you
when it’s time for dinner.” Pearl nodded and went into her room to arrange her belongings. After dinner, Dustan and Pearl sat on
the sofa to chat. He then gave her a bank card. “Take this, Pea. I’ll get my sons to take you around Enswood tomorrow. Use this
to buy whatever you want.” “Mister Dustan, I appreciate it, but I don’t need it.” Pearl noticed Susan’s annoyed look. The latter
ridiculed, “Tsk, stop pretending to be self-contained. It’s clear that you came here for money.” “Susan Plumbe!” Dustan snapped.
“Isn’t it true? And why did you shout at me?” Pearl’s lips twitched. She had no idea what she had done to offend Susan. As she
refused the card repeatedly, Dustan finally gave up. At that time, Pearl’s phone rang. [Miss Pearl, the company made a profit of
53 million dollars this season. The money has been banked into your account.] Pearl smirked. She always had too much to
spend. When she woke up the next morning, she learned from the housekeeper that Dustan went to work. The Waldorf brothers
were having breakfast at the dining table. Last night, Dustan had instructed them to bring Pearl around Enswood. When Pearl
took her seat, Richard said dully, “I have a meeting at the office today. Ask my brother to show you around.” He put his cutlery
down and left. The other four men said one after another, “Sorry, Pearl. I have a shoot today and can’t accompany you.” “I have
two surgeries at the hospital.” “I’m going on a business trip.” “I have classes to attend.” Pearl was rendered speechless. As the
brothers all left, she silently rolled her eyes and ate her breakfast leisurely. She then stayed in her room till the afternoon. In the
evening, her phone rang. An agitated voice asked from the other end, “Are you in Enswood, Miss Pearl?” “What about it?” Pearl
asked back coldly. “You didn’t tell me that you were here. How cruel of you! Come out and have dinner with me now.” “No, I don’t
want to.” “I’ll pay a visit to the Waldorf residence if you don’t come.” “Fine.” Half an hour later, Pearl told the housekeeper she
was going out and headed out alone. After dinner with Wayne Sharp, he dragged her to a high-end bar. “Miss Pearl, did any of
the Waldorfs bully you?” “Who could possibly do that?” Pearl sneered. Wayne smiled awkwardly. “That’s true...” Recalling what
Pearl had done before, he knew that no one could bully her. It would be good enough if she did not bully anyone. Pearl was a
charming but cruel demon. “Are you going to get engaged with one of the Waldorf brothers?” “I don’t know,” Pearl said
indifferently after taking a sip of her wine. If it was not for her father, she would never have come to live with the Waldorfs.
However, she could just play it by ear now. Pearl and Wayne, seated on the first floor of the bar, were unaware of someone
staring at them from a booth on the second floor.
