Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 297

Chapter 297

This was the first time anyone had insulted Willow directly, and it rattled her to the point where she was

tempted to slap Pearl. She raised her hand, ready to strike, but Pearl quickly caught her wrist.

Willow found herself immobilized, glaring at Pearl as she released her grip. “How dare you block me! I’ll

have my dad kick you and your entire family out of Bodgow!”

“Oh, it’s amazing that you could kick a Jordan out of Bodgow. That’s terrifying.” Suddenly, Blake, who

had been quietly observing, stood up and approached Pearl with a smile that masked his cold tone.

“Shall I call your dad and ask if they’re ready to kick the Jordans out?”

While Blake rarely initiated confrontations, those who managed to anger him seldom escaped

unscathed.

Willow was stunned. ‘Blake is here?’ She had threatened to evict Pearl’s family, the Jordans. If she had

known Pearl was a member of the Jordan family, even the bravest lion wouldn’t dare utter such words!

Realization dawned on Willow. “She’s a Jordan?” She was familiar with most of the Jordans, and this

woman didn’t look familiar. Her audacity stemmed from the belief that this woman wasn’t part of the

Bodgow elite.

“My cousin, Pearl. My aunt’s daughter. Do you have a problem with that?”

Willow shook her head. “No, none at all. This dress would look good on Miss Pearl Jordan. You should

have it.”

Hearing Willow refer to her as a Jordan, Pearl gently corrected her, “My last name is Leighton.

“Miss Pearl Leighton, I’m sorry for not recognizing you. Please accept my apologies.” No matter how

spoiled Willow was, she was smart enough to know the power of the Jordans. Now, cornered, she had

no choice but to beg for forgiveness. If this brought trouble to her family, her life as she knew it would

come to an end.

Pearl didn’t intend to bear a grudge, but Blake had different plans. “You want to make us, don’t you?”

His tone was calculating. “You should pay for this dress.”

Pearl found amusement in watching him play the role of an unscrupulous businessman.

Willow had initially thought her apology would be enough, but when she heard Blake’s demand, her

heart ached. She had seen this dress before and knew it cost 680 thousand dollars, equivalent to five

months’ worth of her allowance. She had saved diligently and even convinced her father to provide

extra funds to finally accumulate enough.

Now, she felt as if her heart were bleeding as she had to part with it.

“Why? You don’t want to?” Blake sighed, seeing her hesitation. “Perhaps I should call your father to ask

about what exactly you meant when you said those.”

Willow grew anxious. “I’ll pay, I’ll pay. Don’t call him!” She took out a card from her purse and handed it

to the staff.

Once the transaction was completed, the staff returned the card to Willow. “Miss Willow,

there’s 7 dollars and 5 cents left in Pearl burst out laughing.
