Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1120

Pearl didn't think of Santiago as her father because he was never around for her. She already had a bad impression of him from what Saule told her.

She told Santiago bluntly, "Mister Santiago, I don't think we need to be in each other's lives, even if we are related by blood."

Santiago could have looked for Saule any time over the past two decades, but he chose not to. Naturally, Pearl refused to acknowledge such a heartless man.

When Santiago realized Pearl was keeping her distance, he felt upset. "Pearl, you think I'm the bad guy for not looking for your mom."

"You're kidding, right, Mister Santiago?" Pearl couldn't help but smirk. "That was your choice, not mine."

"I"

"If there's nothing else, I should go, Mister Santiago."

Santiago's expression drastically changed. "Is it really that hard to be around me?"

He was sad that the daughter he had waited so long to meet didn't want anything to do with him. Disappointment overwhelmed him.

"I don't care-" Santiago started to say.

"But I do," Pearl cut him off, her eyes fierce. "don't want to be known as your illegitimate daughter.

Santiago saw how stubborn she was and, oddly, felt proud. She was definitely his daughter.

"Alright, then," he said with a smile.

Pearl was surprised he would offer such a big compromise, and so was Claude, who was watching quietly.

But Pearl couldn't make that choice for Saule. "I'll have to ask her," she said after a moment.

Santiago nodded, understanding he couldn't rush things. "Okay, I'll get someone to give you a ride home."

He suddenly seemed kinder, like a

Claude who hadn't said a word, and demanded, "Get down on

Claude was so stupefied he just did it.

A butler stood next to Pearl, ready to see her off with a smile.

Pearl glanced at Claude and turned to Santiago, asking seriously, "What did he do wrong?"
