Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 

“I’m sorry, Pearl. I got you wrong.” All Abby could do now was apologize to avoid appearing like she was trying to slander Pearl casually. 

Raising her brows, Pearl asked, “Why? Do you think it’s a misunderstanding?” 

Her response caught Abby off guard. “Why? Isn’t it a misunderstanding?” 

“You immediately claimed there was something wrong with the food I gave Madam the moment you entered without even looking at it. Furthermore, you said that it wasn’t my careless mistake. I don’t understand why you would say such things.” Even though Pearl sounded calm, she gave Abby a knowing look. 

Abby averted her gaze. “No, I would never intentionally accuse you. Besides, I didn’t know you’d bought this nutritious food. It’s only natural that I misunderstood…” 

Her feigned innocence prompted a sneer from Pearl. “I know you never repented, Abby.” 

Tears welled up in Abby’s eyes as she sobbed. “I already told you I had a sl*p of the tongue. I was just worried about Madam. Please, just let it go.” 

Seeing Abby’s tearful look, Susan’s heart softened. “Pearl, just forgive Abby. She’s genuinely sorry, can all see that.”

Yes, Abby did repent in front of others, but she wanted to keep on provoking Pearl. That was why it wasn’t that easy for Pearl to forgive her. 

“I’m sorry, Pearl. I did realize my mistake.” 

But Abby’s acting disgusted Pearl. Even so, Pearl understood that she couldn’t keep arguing with Abby, as it might make her appear petty and unforgiving, making a big fuss out of nothing. 

Weak people always gained others’ forgiveness easily, and Abby was good at being one. 

“Okay, I can forgive you. But shouldn’t you make it up to me?” Blinking, Pearl smiled harmlessly. 

“How?” 

“400 thousand dollars. No more, no less.” 

It was a small figure for the Flores family but it was still a lot. 

Baffled, Abby tried to seek clarification. “Why do you want 400 thousand dollars?” 

“No specific reason. You can give me 680 thousand dollars instead if you think 400 thousand dollars is too little. Just transfer it to my account. Thank you.” Knowing that she couldn’t do anything to Abby, Pearl decided to make Abby suffer a financial loss instead. 

At first, Abby thought that apologizing was enough, but she didn’t imagine Pearl would demand such a huge amount. As a result, she felt sorry for herself- apologizing was free, but now she had to pay 400 thousand dollars. 

She felt that Pearl always went to great lengths to make her uncomfortable. 

Amused by Abby’s dejected expression, Pearl remarked, “Why? Don’t tell me you don’t even.have 400
