Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 471

Richard held Pearl close as they made their way back to shore, and the crew finally realized the seriousness of the

situation and called for an ambulance.

Esther was overwhelmed with guilt and anxiety. Her voice quivered as she said, ‘ I’m sorry. None of this would have

happened if I hadn’t suggested not

interrupting them.” She hung her head low, as if she believed it was her idea that had led to Pearl’s condition.

“If you know you always cause trouble, then maybe you shouldn’t talk so much.” Richard’s eyes bore into Esther,

Esther trembled, tears streaming down her face.

spend some time with Pearl and didn’t want to interrupt you. Do you have to be so harsh?”

Richard clenched his fist. “This person had everything planned out.”
