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

Chapter 1367

"Why should I excuse him?" Pearl sneered, confronting the dishonest man seated before her. "I can report you."

The man idly picked his nose when he heard her threat. "Go ahead. Let's see if you'll succeed. But think carefully. If you cross me, your boyfriend won't get better." His voice dripped with arrogance, backed by the knowledge that his uncle was the hospital director. Pearl took a deep breath, trying to control her anger. She stared at his badge intently. "Jace Lowe. You're Jace Lowe, right?"

Jace snorted, leaning back and twirling a pen between his fingers. "Listen. Even if you beg now, I won't"

Pearl suddenly kicked Jace in the chest, cutting him off. She didn't use full strength, but Jace still toppled backward to the floor.

"What a disappointing and useless piece of trash!" she exclaimed as he lay groaning.

He struggled to get up, pain radiating through his body. "How could you kick me? Do you know who I am? My uncle is "

"shut your f*cking mouth up!" Pearl raised her fist, silencing him instantly.

He touched his head wound, his hand coming away bloody. 'F*ck! What a crazy woman!'

The nurse was terrified. She hadn't expected the seemingly delicate woman to be so strong. She knew she had to tread carefully or risk being hit too.

"Uh... Miss Pearl, we should look for your son," the nurse said cautiously.

Pearl, eager to find Darius, glared at Jace one last time to ensure he remained quiet. She then turned and left, the nurse following quickly.

When they were gone, Jace gingerly touched his wound again, wincing. "Motherf*cker! What a crazy woman!"

He then pulled out his phone and made a call.

"Did you do it?"

"Don't worry, sir. It's done. I've told her the hospital's cameras are down, so we can't check anything."

"Great. I've transferred 420 thousand dollars to your account."

Ignoring his injury, Jace grinned at the mention of money. "Don't worry. I'll keep this a secret."
