Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

"Miss Pearl, it's rude to invite you to a place like this. But our boss really wants to see you right away. Please forgive us for such poor reception." The man seemed polite and careful when he talked to Pearl. Pearl raised her brows. "Someone from the Savary family?"

That man grinned, showing lines on his face. "You're quick, Miss Pearl."

"But having a spy watch his son seems a bit too much" Pearl stopped herself from saying it sounded crazy.

She hadn't thought Santiago was that kind of person. She had just received the DNA report, and Santiago quickly found out about it.

She wondered if she should think he was good at getting information or if he was going too far.

The man sensed Pearl's mockery and quickly said, "It's because he really looks out for Mister Claude and cares a lot."

Pearl wasn't sure if Santiago really cared for Claude.

She didn't want to make a big deal about it. She smiled and made small talk. "Yes, Mister Santiago really... cares a lot for his son."

Otherwise, Santiago wouldn't have brought Pearl to his house so quickly.

The driver drove faster because their talk was getting more uncomfortable.

They got to the house very quickly. When Pearl got out, she saw Claude, who had just parked his car.
