Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1131

The Jesseltons... weren't as grand as the Savarys.

"Please wait, I'll go ask my boss if you can come in."

The servant hurried inside but took his time coming back out.

"Please come in, Mister Savary."

Santiago glanced at him and then walked in with his group.

In the living room, Martin greeted Santiago with a smile. "What can I do for you today?"

Santiago went straight to the point. "Where's Saule?"

Martin looked curious. "Saule? Who's that?"

"Don't play dumb, Mister Martin."

Santiago was sharp, and Martin could tell.

"No, I really don't know a Saule." Martin kept smiling. "But tell me about her, and I'll help you find her."

Santiago raised his brows. "Okay, let me search around your manor then."

Martin started to sweat. He knew Santiago must have some reason for coming. Even if it wasn't solid proof, Santiago was usually right.

If Santiago found anything suspicious, it could be really bad for the Jesseltons!

"Mister Santiago, it's getting late. Why don't you stay the night? I can show you around in the morning."

Santiago wasn't interested in that offer. "Will you let me look around or not?"

He seemed to have lost all his patience, and seeing how Martin was shaking, he wasn't in the mood.

"Sure, go ahead." Martin quickly wiped his forehead and signaled to the butler.

But before the butler could leave, Santiago's men stopped him.

"Mister Martin, we're both in

business. We need to trust each other. Stop the games." Santiago looked at the butler, his smile turning cold. He then told his men to grab him.

"Mister Martin, you should show us around yourself," he added angrily. Martin smiled awkwardly and glared at the butler for messing up his plan. "Okay, let's go."

Santiago nodded and followed Martin further into the manor.

They walked around a garden, but everything looked normal.

Martin was relieved but worried as they approached another garden "Mister Santiago, it's really

you haven't found anything. Maybe

we should-"

Santiago cut him off. "Isn't there another garden? I'm still up for it. Are you saying we should stop now? Are you out of time?"

Martin immediately replied, "No, of course I have the time."

"Then lead on."

Martin sighed and took him to

Howard's garden, trying a different tactic. My father is a famous

doctor. He's old and likes his quiet. He doesn't want to be disturbed."

He hoped that mentioning his father's status would discourage Santiago, but Santiago just said, "Open the gate."
