Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 108

“I’m sorry, Pearl. I got you wrong.” All Abby could do now was apologize to avoid appearing like she was trying to slander Pearl casually.

Raising her brows, Pearl asked, “Why? Do you think it’s a misunderstanding?”

Her response caught Abby off guard. “Why? Isn’t it a misunderstanding?”

“You immediately claimed there was something wrong with the food I gave Madam the moment you entered without even looking at it. Furthermore, you said that it wasn’t my careless mistake. I don’t understand why you would say such things.” Even though Pearl sounded calm, she gave Abby a knowing look.

Abby averted her gaze. “No, I would never intentionally accuse you. Besides, I didn’t know you’d bought this nutritious food. It’s only natural that I misunderstood…”

Her feigned innocence prompted a sneer from Pearl. “I know you never repented, Abby.”

Tears welled up in Abby’s eyes as she sobbed. “I already told you I had a slip of the tongue. I was just worried about Madam. Please, just let it go.”

Seeing Abby’s tearful look, Susan’s heart softened. “Pearl, just forgive Abby. She’s genuinely sorry, can all see that.”
