Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 205

Hanzel didn’t hide anything from his brother and blurted out his admission, “Yeah, I like Pearl.”

“But you’re aware of the relationship between Rick and Pearl. Do you want to compete against him?”

Hanzel snorted. “What’s the big deal? Richard hasn’t treated Pearl well, anyway.”

Intrigued, Hugo probed further, “What do you mean?”

“You won’t believe it, Hugo. He said he likes Pearl, yet he’s involved with another woman. I saw him hugging her. How could a guy like that deserve Pearl’s love?” Hanzel didn’t even treat Richard as his brother now and felt like scolding the latter.

Hugo, meanwhile, noted the information quietly. After gauging Hanzel’s feelings, he slowly rose from his seat. “Alright, it’s getting late. Don’t take it too seriously. Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding.”

But Hanzel scoffed. “Even if it’s a misunderstanding, I won’t let go this time.”
