Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 665

Chapter 665

Owen found Jenny noisy and crazy, vastly different from Pearl. It was easy for him to make a judgment, and he naturally took Pearl's side. "What's the matter? Are you doubting my judgment?" Owen found Jenny very annoying.

Jenny was in a state of panic. She had come to revel in Pearl's misfortune and couldn't understand how things had turned against her.

Given the circumstances, she needed to think fast. She managed to calm herself and spoke more gently, "Listen to me, Mister Owen. It's not what you think. Did she manipulate you?"

Owen snorted. "Stop explaining. I don't want to listen to your crap now!" He then turned his gaze toward Pearl and offered her a flattering smile. "Miss Pearl, I'll lo

you decide what to do with her since she's targeted you. How should we punish her? I'll go along with your choice."

Jenny realized that she was now at Pearl's mercy. She was certain that Pearl hated her to the bone for the way she had treated her. Desperately, she shook her head and pleaded, "Please don't do this to me!"

Seeing that begging Owen was futile, she crawled toward Pearl and clutched the hem of her dress. She begged pathetically, "Pearl, we're both women facing difficulties. Can't you find it in your heart to let me go?"

Surprisingly, Pearl felt no pity for Jenny despite the latter's sorry look. She even mocked Jenny, "You pushed my patience to its limits again and again. Have you ever thought of this ending?"

She massaged her sore wrists and lifted Jenny's chin with a single finger. Jenny's makeup, which had been meticulously applied, was now smeared due to her tears, making her look pitiful. "Pearl, I know you're a kind person, aren't you?"

Pearl scoffed, withdrawing her hand from Jenny's face. "I wouldn't target others if they left me alone. I've never claimed to be a kind person."

Pearl's words only deepened Jenny's uncertainty. She knew that Pearl wouldn't let her off easily.

Resigned to her fate, Jenny sat on the floor, crying. She remained silent as fear overtook her. She couldn't predict her future, but she understood that it was bleak.

Despite Pearl's desire to witness Jenny's suffering, she had more important matters to attend to at the moment. People outside were unaware of her condition and believed she had been kidnapped. She needed to return soon to ease their worries.

Hence, she glanced at Owen and smiled gently. "I'm feeling a bit unwell, Mister Owen. I'd like to go home and rest. I'll leave this to you." She leaned over and gently squeezed his shoulder to express her

concern.

It was the first time Pearl took such initiative toward Owen, giving him the impression that they had grown closer due to this incident. As a result, he agreed, "Go home and rest. Don't worry. I'll make sure she learns her lesson."

Pearl smiled and left the cellar with the bodyguard Owen had assigned to her.

Once Pearl was gone, Owen finally turned his attention back to Jenny. Jenny retreated and widened her eyes when she saw the bloodthirsty gleam in Owen's eyes.
