Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1402

Chapter 1402

Even though Esther wasn't very nice to James, she always treated Agnes with respect. She found it easy to say

no to James but impossible to refuse Agnes, who was always kind and loved her dearly.

"No, I'm not lying. | can show you my phone if you don't believe me. My mom really did senda message like

this."

Esther scoffed. "So, you're here to meetbecause your mom wants to treatto a meal? If it wasn't for her,

you wouldn't have bothered, right?"

James gave a helpless laugh. "No, that's not what | meant."

Esther crossed her arms and didn't even blink, standing firm after causing a stir. "Lead the way."

James started walking, but Esther wasn't quick to follow him. Instead, she turned to say goodbye to Pearl. "Pearl,

Aunt Agnes wants to have a meal with me, and | can't say no to her. | have to go now."

Pearl looked like she wanted to say something but ended up sighing instead. "Alright, go ahead."

"Bye!"

After Esther left, Hanzel breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's up? You seem really upset," Pearl asked.

Hanzel sighed again. "You don't know the half of it. I'm married, and she isn't. She's always looking to find faults

in me."

Pearl's lips twitched. "What did she do?"

"She started srumors about me. Then, Fifi argued withwhile Esther took pleasure in my troubles."

Pearl's lips twitched harder. "Maybe that's the only excitement she gets after so many hard years."

Hanzel looked like he might cry. "Why am | always the one who gets hurt?"

"Enough, stay here and look after your wife. | still have a lot of people to meet since I've cback."

Richard took Pearl's hand gently and said softly, "Your mom said she wants to see you." He was talking about

Saule.

Pearl felt a mix of emotions, not having seen her mother in many years. She couldn't imagine how devastated

Saule must have been when she heard about her disappearance. "Let's go now."

Richard nodded, and they walked outside. "I'll drive us there."

Soon, they reached a quiet estate.

Pearl found the place oddly familiar. "Why does this place look so familiar?"

Suddenly, something clicked in Pearl's memory, and her eyes widened. "Isn't this the

Savary family's house?"

Lost in her thoughts, Pearl remembered visiting Santiago here years ago. But they were supposed to meet Saule

today. Why were they at this place? Could it be...

Distracted by her thoughts, Pearl didn't notice a woman running toward her from a distance.
