Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1094

"Pea, I know you must be mad at me right now. If you hate me, I'll never show up in front of you again..."

After Beah passed away, Pearl was the closest person to Gigi. Even though she messed up, Pearl never blamed her and always treated her like a sister.

But Pearl knew some things couldn't be fixed.

"You've treated me like a sister. How could I blame you?" Pearl sighed. "Even though you really messed up this time, at least you're willing to change. How could I abandon you?"

Gigi looked up with tears in her eyes.

"I want to thank you. At least you told me everything in time." Pearl smiled faintly. Gigi reached out to her that night before Hugo died.

With tears streaming down her face, she recounted the entire process of betraying Pearl and Hugo's plans for her and Waldorf Enterprises. In the end, Gigi said, "I don't expect you to forgive me, but I hope you won't get hurt because of me anymore."

Gigi was a kind girl; she just took the wrong path. Pearl didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, Gigi came clean.

"Thank you, Pea."

"You're welcome. If you run into any trouble there, be sure to let me know."

Gigi nodded, hugged Pearl with tears in her eyes, and then left.

Esther watched her leave and clicked her tongue. "I don't get it. Why be nice to her after she's betrayed you like that? If it were me, I'd have chewed her out and kicked her out a long time ago."

"Well, you're still young," Pearl said, tapping Esther's head lightly. "Soz stop talking nonsense. It's all in the past. By the way, how's it going with James?" She knew that Esther didn't come over today just for this matter.

As soon as Pearl finished speaking, Esther chuckled. "You know me too well. I've been getting along pretty well with him lately, but his mother..."

Esther looked troubled, which made

Pearl think James's mother was being difficult. She couldn't help but frown and say, "Is his mother giving you a hard time? If his family isn't treating you right, you can dump him anytime. Esther, you deserve better. If his family dares to criticize you, dump him."

Esther quickly shook her head, indicating Pearl had misunderstood. "His mother didn't treat me badly. In fact, she's been a little too nice."

Esther lowered her head, fidgeting

with her fingers, her face turning red. "His mother wants us to get married soon and have grandchildren... But think it's too soon, so I haven't agreed yet. But his mother misunderstood. She thought James was seeing another woman and didn't want to get married. Now they argue every day."

Thinking about these gave her a headache. Agnes actually liked Esther more than she had imagined.

She thought that James's family would be very critical of her, a former celebrity. Even though she was the heiress of Sanders Group, the Sanders and the Crawfords were like heaven and earth. There was simply no comparison.

But Agnes didn't dislike her and even treated Esther better than her own son. It made her feel overwhelmed.

Pearl chuckled. "That's great, isn't it? I thought you were dealing with some real trouble."
