Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 874

"Why are you here?" Pearl was at a loss. The thing you fear most will always appear.

"Did I interrupt your time together?"

Richard's voice sounded calm, but Pearl could sense his anger simmering beneath the surface. "Of course not. I'm just a little surprised," she replied.

Richard glanced at Silas, who was happily washing dishes inside. "Explain. Why is he here?" As he took in Pearl's pajamas, he pieced together that they had spent the night together. His eyes darkened.

"He came to talk but couldn't get a taxi, so he stayed here," Pearl explained quickly. "He slept on the couch. We didn't interact."

If it had been anyone else, Richard might have let it go. But this was Silas, a man who kept thirsting for Pearl.

"You're still lying to me?" His expression turned cold, his eyes piercing. There was a faint smell of alcohol as he entered the house. If they hadn't been drinking together, it meant Silas had been drunk when he came to see her.

Both scenarios angered Richard.

Pearl shivered at the sight of Richard's cold demeanor.

"Enough, Silas," Pearl intervened. Every word Silas spoke felt like stepping on a landmine. She couldn't let it continue.

"Enough? Have you forgotten how he treated you? I know you're not ready to let go, but you shouldn't keep running back to him every time he calls. What's so special about him that you can't resist?" Silas's frustration with Pearl's obsession was evident.

Pearl's expression went cold. "This is none of your business. Get out of my home now."

Silas was so angry that his efforts were brushed aside. "I've put up with your rejections, Pearl, but you've pushed it too far. You're heartless."
