Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 523

Pearl’s heart skipped a beat. She glanced around, but the line of people delivering gifts seemed endless, making it

impossible for her to spot the gift giver. Even those who had just presented their gifts had vanished into the crowd.

Anxiously, she turned to the butler, Uncle Levi, who stood beside her. “Uncle Levi, did you see who brought this

gift?”

Levi hesitated for a moment, the unique box triggering his memory. “I believe it was a woman wearing a mask,

perhaps in her forties, but why do you ask-?”

Pearl didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. She abruptly stood up, holding her dress, and dashed away.

The sudden action left everyone at the party surprised, with even the typically composed Richard appearing

concerned.

Mobius was shocked and commented, “What’s going on with Pearl? She looks like she’s running away.”

Richard shared Mobius’s worry, but he offered some reassurance. “No, let’s wait and see.” Given that it was their

engagement party, Pearl must have had a valid reason for her actions.

Mobius still couldn’t shake off his concern. “You should go after her. What if something happens to her?”

Richard nodded, loosened his tie, and hurriedly followed Pearl.

The guests were left in shock, wondering about the unfolding events. Why was the bride–to- be running away, and

now the groom–to–be chasing after her? Some started speculating if they were just trying to grab gifts without

returning.

Esther and Mobius could only suppress the stress coming from the crowd and hoped they would return soon.

As Pearl dashed outside, she realized that she couldn’t find the person who had given her the gift. Feeling

disheartened, she turned to head back to the party when a voice called out to her.

“I guess your mom is very important to you since you suddenly ran out.”

Pearl froze in her tracks. She turned around, her gaze meeting Hugo’s, and an unsettling feeling washed over her.

Ever since Eric had taught him a lesson, Hugo had kept a low profile, and Pearl thought he had finally learned his

lesson. But now he seemed to be aware of her weakness.

“What are you trying to say?”

“Have you always been curious about your mother? I’m here to give you some clues.”

Hugo’s smile seemed angelic, but Pearl, who had seen his cruel side before, knew better. ” What are these clues?”
