Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 507

Henry’s expression shifted dramatically, his fierceness giving way to tears and snot. He pleaded desperately, “No,

please, let me explain, Mister Richard, I-”

“Your so–called nephew already filled me in at the door,” Richard interrupted, his voice cool but rezolute.

“What? Didn’t he stop you?” Henry was puzzled. Camden had been focused on looking for his parents‘ murderer. It

didn’t make sense that he would let Richard into the restaurant.

Richard used his dagger to lift Henry’s chin, imparting a sense of icy dread that sent shivers down Henry’s spine.

“He did stop me, but it wasn’t necessary, considering you know who killed his parents.” He then turned around and

saw Camden entering the restaurant, his face etched with hatred.

“Do as you wish with him, Mister Richard. He must pay for killing my parents. I’ll do it myself if you decide to spare

him today!” Camden said.

Camden had discovered the truth about his parents‘ murder long ago. To his shock, his seemingly kind uncle was

“If you’re smart, you’d know who stands to gain the most from your parents‘ deaths.” Camden hadn’t forgotten

Richard’s words. He had been waiting for this day to come, confident that he could make Henry pay, even if he

lacked the power to do it alone.

“Camden! Don’t be fooled by them! We’re family. How could I harm you? Your parents died in an accident three

If Pearl had had any strength left, she would have risen to her feet and slapped Henry for making such a baseless

accusation. She had merely passed by the scene of the accident, she was in school at the time. She had no motive

to harm Camden’s parents.

Camden recalled the events of that day—it was a girl in red who had rescued him from the wreckage and offered

him a plate of pasta.

Pearl smiled. “If you believe me, I can get to the bottom of this within three days and prove it wasn’t me.”

“No, that’s unnecessary,” Camden responded, lowering his head to admit, “I already knew it wasn’t you. I never

truly doubted you because I discovered the truth early on. I just wanted to use you as bait to catch Henry off guard

and kill him.”

He also wanted to meet the girl who had saved his life. When he mentioned his intent to kill Henry, he spoke with a

calm demeanor, suggesting

he spoke with a calm demeanor, suggesting that he had grown accustomed to taking lives over the years.

“But I didn’t want you to die either. I had already replaced his dagger with a retractable knife. It couldn’t have

harmed you.”

Richard examined the dagger closely.
