Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 506

Pearl deftly maneuvered her body to dodge Henry’s attack and managed to grip his wrists. With a bit of strength,

she pushed him backward, but he struggled to regain his balance.

Henry smirked, triumphant that he had avoided being subdued so easily.

Before Pearl could breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden wave of weakness washed over her. She found herself unable

to summon her strength.

“What kind of drug did you give me this time?” she demanded, frustration in her voice.

Henry sneered, “Go to hell with the secret since you don’t know…” He had initially contemplated taking liberties

with Pearl, but now he found her defiance irksome, so he decided it was best to kill her promptly.

Drawing a dagger from his person, Henry advanced toward Pearl slowly. Just as he was about to strike, there was a

commotion outside.

Henry was displeased that someone was going to disrupt his plans. He threw a quick glance toward the door before

resuming his efforts to kill Pearl.

However, the door rattled, as if someone had kicked it, and it started to give way.

“Looks like someone’s here for you, Pearl. Let’s guess, is it your sweetheart? Wouldn’t it be thrilling to die in front of

him?” Henry mused with a malicious grin. “And will he still love you if your face is ruined?”

Pearl glared at him with disdain. “Do as you please, f*cking bastard!”

Henry’s smile faded. “Very well. I’ll grant your wish, since you’re so eager to embrace death.” Raising his dagger,

he aimed to strike Pearl in the shoulders.

Just then, someone managed to force the door open. The sudden burst of light caused Henry to miss his target, and

his dagger struck a chair instead.

As he prepared for another attack, Richard stormed into the room. He quickly grabbed a plate from the table and

smashed it onto Henry, who screamed in pain as his eyes were injured, and he dropped his dagger.

Richard helped Pearl sit in a nearby chair, though he did so without gentleness, a grudge apparent in his actions.

Pearl quickly understood the source of his anger. She wondered why he was being so petty, given that she had

merely shared a meal with someone else.

Richard didn’t leave with Pearl. Instead, he retrieved the fallen dagger from the floor and approached Henry, who

was writhing and wailing.
