Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1137

Pearl scratched her ears and ignored him. "I guess you'll have to spend your time in jail then."

Richard signaled to his men to escort the man outside.

When Winona came in and saw Martin being taken away, she trembled.

"What's going on?" she asked. She was just out shopping, not expecting her family's world to turn upside down so quickly.

Martin yelled out to her, "They took your grandpa, Winona!"

"Why are you doing this to my family?" Winona was shocked and confused.

Pearl replied, not angry but rather amused, "Why? Don't you see what your actions have caused my family? But don't worry, we're almost done here. You're the last one."

Winona was a bit calmer but worried. "What do you mean I'm the last one?"

"Payback." Pearl put her hands on her waist and raised her chin. "Now, tell us what you've done."

Winona laughed. "I won't tell you anything. Even if I did do something, I wouldn't admit it to you."

Pearl knew she needed Winona to confess. She waved the voice-recording pen, smiling. "You think I have no proof? If you don't tell us willingly, we might have to force it out of you." Winona smirked. "I don't believe you. You're just bluffing."

"You'll know when you hear the recording." Pearl then played the recording.

Hearing her father's voice, Winona turned pale. "When did this happen?"

"Just now. Your dad told us everything."

Winona finally realized why her father was led out. The game was up.

She couldn't continue pretending, so she lashed out. "I regret not letting Grandpa kill you!"

Pearl looked disappointed. "I hoped

With a cold laugh, Winona said, "You think you suffered? What I did was nothing. I should have gone further..."

Richard had enough and shouted, "Shut up!"

Winona vented all her anger and disappointment, especially at

Richard. "I thought you cared for me, Richard. But you just used me and threw me aside. You even got

She believed Pearl had taken everything from her. If Pearl was gone, everything would have been hers.

Pearl shook her head. "It seems you haven't learned from your mistakes. There's nothing more we can do for you."

Unable to listen to her any longer, Richard gestured to his men to take her away, just like they did with her father.
