Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1141

Besides Claude, Pearl was the only one who knew so much. So, Claude must have spilled the truth.

"Alright. Since you know everything, I'll drop the act." Claude looked pale, but his words only made things more infuriating. "I just don't want Santiago to get away with it."

"If you don't want him to get away with it, there are plenty of ways. Why harm my mom?" Pearl couldn't contain her anger.

Claude was getting agitated. Looking stern, he raised his voice, "Santiago has always been cautious. I've never seen him care so much about someone. Your mom's the only weak spot he has after all this time. Why wouldn't I use that? Do you know what he says about my mom? He called her a whore, a woman who sleeps around!"

Having grown up hearing such things, Claude's temper became erratic. He couldn't stand seeing how much Santiago cared about Pearl's mother, so he came up with this plan.

"So you decided to target an innocent woman, huh?" Pearl could understand how he felt but couldn't condone his actions.

"Well, I..." Claude came to his senses, knowing he was in the wrong, and couldn't say anything.

They remained silent for a long time.

Finally, Claude broke the silence. "How's your mom?"

Pearl replied irritably, "She's fine for now."

"That's good... Please tell her I'm sorry. I know this is my fault. If you need anything, just come to me, and I'll do my best to help."

"I don't need any help, but since you're willing to admit your mistake, I won't hold you accountable." Pearl found it hard to be harsh with Claude.

"I'm really sorry." Claude regretted his actions but didn't know how to explain it to Pearl.

Seeing him like this, Pearl recalled her conversation with Richard earlier.

"Actually, Claude was the one who told me about this," Richard said.

"Claude?"

"Yeah, I received a call from him today, and he told me about Saule being kidnapped."

"How did Claude know about this?"

"I'm not sure," Richard responded.

"And then?"

"He said you might go rescue her yourself, so he told me to find you as soon as possible."

As Pearl recalled that conversation,

she sighed while looking at the silent

man before her. "Luckily, you realized your mistake early. They might have found me later ifût weren't for you.

"This might be his way of trying to make up for what he did in the past. But it's still a bit late..." Claude said this with effort, his eyes showing a complex mix of feelings. S

"Alright, stop beating yourself up. Santiago will probably find out about what you did soon," Pearl said.

If she could figure it out, how could an intelligent man like Santiago not know?
