Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1129

"Do you like it?" Pearl asked, but the woman just kept eating and didn't answer her.

Looking at the eggplant in her box, Pearl said eagerly, "I love eggplants. Can I have half of yours?"

Since each box had different foods, Pearl couldn't take her eyes off the eggplant in the woman's box, looking like she really wanted it.

The woman glared at her but then added the eggplant to Pearl's box.

"Thank you," Pearl said with a smile. "Miss Grant, you're still the same."

The moment she heard the name 'Grant', the woman stopped moving.

"I don't know what you're talking about," she replied.

"Daisy Grant. That's you, right? I remember you," Pearl said.

It had been so long since Daisy heard her name that she almost forgot it. Hearing Pearl say her name made her feel a rush of emotion and almost cry, but she kept her cool and didn't let her tears fall. "Why are you here?" Pearl asked.

Pearl knew Daisy from when she was studying overseas. Daisy always seemed cool on the outside but was actually kind and caring.

Pearl recalled a time when she stood up to a professor who insulted her country and got mocked in front of everyone. When everyone was laughing at her, Daisy Grant grabbed her hand and supported her quietly.

"I think what you said was right," Daisy had told her back then.

That's when Pearl remembered Daisy's name. She never thought they'd meet again in such a place.

"I wanted to be a doctor. After finishing school, I came back to look for a mentor and met Mister Howard," Daisy explained.

Pearl could guess what happened

after that. Howard must have seen Daisy's talent, taken her in as his student, and then used her for his experiments.

"Why haven't they tied you up too?" Pearl wondered.

Daisy chuckled. "I come from a rich family, so Howard knows he has to be careful with me. I've been here' two years but wasn't experimented on much."

Pearl then remembered Howard wanted her as his student too and realized she could have ended up in the same situation.

"Didn't you try to escape?" Pearl asked.

Daisy just shook her head, rolled up her sleeves, and showed her bruised arms as her answer. She had been tortured here.

Feeling terrible for Daisy, Pearl

gestured toward her pocket. "I have

some medicine that's good fore

wounds. Let me help you," she offered.

Daisy gratefully smiled. "Thank you."

"It's nothing. I just want to ask you some questions," Pearl said as Daisy carefully put away the medicine.

"Ask away," Daisy responded.
