Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 680

Chapter 680 "Want to know why?" Hugo gave her a mysterious smile that left her confused.

Pearl took a deep breath and asked, “Yes, why?"

"I won't tell you!" Hugo stated before leaving without a second glance.

However, seemingly realizing something, he turned around and added, "

By the way, our engagement party got canceled so it will be rescheduled in two days. Please prepare again."

Pearl's interest in why he poisoned Katie waned in comparison to the impending engagement, which was more of a headache for

her. Just the thought of having to wake up at § a.m. to put on makeup was torture enough.

"Can't we just skip the party? We were already engaged once, and everyone knows it."

"That won't do. I'm aman of principles, and | have to see things through." Hugo furrowed his brows and shook his head, appearing

deeply concerned about the matter.

Having said that, he left.

Pearl felt powerless about the engagement, but she suddenly remembered that Gigi hadn't used the medicinal herbs she brought

back last time. She planned to purchase sfresh ones from the hospital to make medicine.

However, there were very few medicinal herbs sold in hospitals.

Besides, even if the hospital had the largest warehouse of medicinal herbs in the city, she couldn't get in, let alone get her hands

on them.

Nevertheless, she arrived there with a glimmer of hope.

As soon as she arrived at the door, the middle-aged man guarding the warehouse stood up with a serious expression. He mumbled,

"You can't cin, miss. Please turn around."

"T want to buy smedicinal herbs. Could you please letin? Who is in charge here?" Pearl asked politely.

"But..." Seeing such a beautiful and polite woman making the request, the middle-aged man felt a little tempted.

Pearl continued to speak eloquently and wore an impeccable smile on her face, causing the man to quickly yield.

"Don't worry, I'll go and ask the person in charge."

The man got up and left, returning shortly with a man from Enswood.

Pearl looked at the newcomer's face and felt a sense of familiarity , but she couldn't quite place where she had seen him before.

As they were both from Enswood, the man lowered his guard when he looked at Pearl. "Which herb are you looking for, ma'am?"

Pearl responded tactfully, "lI have a friend who needs treatment, and | happen to know a bit about herbal remedies. I'd like to

purchase smedicinal herbs."

Hearing this, the man squinted and scrutinized Pearl with a sharp gaze.

"You seem quite young, yet you claim to know about herbal remedies?"

Pearl quickly replied, "Well, not exactly an expert, but | do have sknowledge."

"Aren't you afraid that you might worsen the situation if you treat someone with limited knowledge ?" The man wasn't easily

convinced.

"I might not know much, but my mentor does. | won't harm anyone."

The man observed her closely, his suspicion growing. "You have a mentor? What's their name?"

Being bombarded with so many questions was frustrating, even for someone as patient as Pearl. Her eyes turned cold. "These

questions don't seem to have anything to do withbuying herbs."
