Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Silas staggered a little, feeling like he had drunk too much and couldn't quite stand steady. "I know you've never really looked at me, always treatinglike a kid." "Aren't you?" Pearl sighed deeply.

Silas suddenly moved closer to her, easily towering over her. He could easily hold her in his arms. "You know, Pearl, if I wanted to do something to you right now, you wouldn't be able to resist at all." He teasingly blew into her ear, tickling her and causing her to tremble involuntarily.

"I know, but I believe you won't." Silas's face turned pale. "Why wouldn't I?" Pearl smiled bitterly. "I know that even though you've done sstrange things, you wouldn't be able to do that to me. Didn't you have the chance to hurt me? But you never did." Silas suddenly seemed relieved. He let her go, his expression unreadable. "I finally understand why I like you. After all, how could a believer turn against their god?" After saying this, Silas smiled and pulled out a USB flash drive from his pocket. "Inside is all the criminal evidence against Hugo. You'll be satisfied," he said, then tossed the device into her hands.

Silas looked deeply into her eyes, his smile unusually warm. "When you meet him, I'll be there too. I'll testify against him in person, not for anything else, but to see you happy." * As the memories faded, Esther, curious about Pearl's long silence, asked, "Why so quiet, Pearl? What's the deal with Silas?" Pearl snapped out of her daze, her eyes indifferent. "It's nothing. He just suddenly cto his senses and turned over a new leaf." "It seems Elijah raised him well. At least he didn't let that jerk do anything bad." Esther breathed a sigh of relief.

As the two were engrossed in their conversation, suddenly, a soft voice sounded beside them. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Pea." Pearl looked at Gigi and smiled. Her eyes were calm but seemed to say a lot. "What is it?" "I'm here to say goodbye," Gigi said, lowering her head. After what she had done, she felt she couldn't continue living by Pearl's side. She despised herself and felt unworthy of being Pearl's sister. S "What do you mean?" Pearl asked, astonished.

"I've discussed it with Dame. He's willing to sendabroad to study, and I promised to work for him when I return to repay the money..." This was actually an excellent plan for Gigi.

Pearl stood up, straightened Gigi's wrinkled shirt collar, and softly said, "Then you should live well abroad. If you encounter any problems, you must tell me. I'll always be your sister." These words made Gigi burst into tears. "Pea, do you really not hate ΒΛΟ me? I leaked the information to the media, drugged Aunt Saule, and even colluded with Hugo to steal information about Waldorf Enterprises... I've done so many things. Why don't you hate me?" Even Esther was taken aback by this revelation. "Gigi, why you-" "I don't hate you. I'm just disappointed," Pearl said, watching her cry, feeling more heartbroken than disappointed.

Gigi knelt to the ground with a thud.
