Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 863

"Richard, you look anything but happy. You seem mad, like you're not satisfied with this wedding. If you don't like her, why marry

her? | don't get it," Sean remarked, lounging on the sofa with crossed legs. He clicked his tongue in disdain when he saw Richard

standing there gloomily.

"Hold on, Sean. Rick might have his reasons. He wouldn't take his wedding lightly," Hanzel intervened, trying to calm the situation.

"lI don't care about his reasons. All | know is he's wronged Pearl. She must have been blind to fall for you. If | knew this would

happen, | wouldn't have let you near her," Sean retorted sharply.

Hearing Pearl's name, Richard's gaze met Sean's, his voice icy. "Go ahead and try to win her over, see how that goes."

Sean shot Richard a fierce glare, but Hanzel stepped in again, trying to defuse the situation. "Calm down, Rick. Today is your

wedding day. Let's not dwell on the past. Just focus on the ceremony ahead."

Clearly, Hanzel was talking about Pearl as if she were part of the past. Looking at him, Richard thought Hanzel seemed a bit slow-

witted, so he didn't say much in response.

Meanwhile, Mobius, sitting quietly in the corner, remained withdrawn and despondent since his breakup with Esther.

Sean was irked after facing a setback due to Richard. Turning around, he noticed Mobius sitting close by and asked, "What's got

you down too? Still hung up over your break-up?"

Normally, Mobius would have retorted to Sean's remarks. However, today, he appeared disinterested in engaging with Sean, not

even bothering to respond.

Finding the lack of interaction dull, Sean chose to remain silent.

Not long after, it was tto fetch the bride. Richard, accompanied by his family, proceeded to Jesselton Manor to pick up Winona.

He escorted her to the wedding car, where she appeared shy but content.

As they drove to the hotel, Winona went to her room to prepare for the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Pearl observed from a nearby room, sitting on the couch while eating grapes.

Esther, however, was bothered by Pearl's calm demeanor. "Aren't you worried? What if this fake wedding turns real?"

After hearing Pearl and Richard's plan, Esther finally understood everything. They had silently coordinated and arranged everything

in advance, leaving Esther feeling left out and a bit foolish for not being in the loop.

But with Pearl having filled her in, Esther found herself without objections. Her only option was to back Pearl up.

Pearl reassured Esther. "Don't worry. We've got it all planned out." She blinked, then couldn't help but laugh at the latter's anxiety.

"It'll all be okay. I'm here to make sure we avoid any trouble or accidents."

Esther nodded with relief, but a sudden realization struck her, causing her to sweat nervously. "Ugh... You still want to be with

Richard?"

"You got it right."

Esther suddenly remembered her previous interaction with him, prompting a nervous chuckle from her. "Richard... He won't be

vindictive, right?"

She was simply seeking justice for Pearl. But she knew she would be the one to suffer if they got back together.
